Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure
Seems that way, checked and mine was shipped out of HK on the 9th so will be a week tomorrow and still not arrived in the UK, it is the longest i've ever seen something take to get here.. i have another package via EMS (as opposed to regular post for the package in question) so will be good to see if that comes through quicker or not... should do in theory.
Hope we get our stuff soon!
Looks like im the same boat as you buddy. Checked tracking again this morning and its still not showing as landed in the uk. Parcelforce just have it as forwarded for export from HKwth. Mine actually left of the 11th so in theory should have landed today(based on past experience),bloody delays i just hope it doesn't get stuck in customs when it does land.

I payed 188 for it including ems shipping, so for me it's great because I would probs pay 180 in the uk from onesixthbruce

i always assumed things arrived either in the early hours or at night (only from experience) but mine just arrived at 10:30 so guess the tracking could update at any time really...
Just hope they don't keep it in processing for too long, as far as i know all the packages from HK Post are Express 48, EMS is Express 24...

Well i get my stuff from Tony at KidultToyStore but i know timcent88 (is that correct?) is a good guy and some others like goodshipped etc
Sometimes you do have to pay a premium but i haven't got an issue with it, no one is forcing you to buy it and if you want it sooner then it's a no brainer - not sure about other countries but in the UK the wait between release and being in-hand can be staggering...
That's not to say i don't buy from UK sellers though, sometimes it's makes sense as they normally offer a payment plan which helps to manage larger items over a period of time, buying from HK sellers is great but you gotta pay em there and then.. i've even bought from SS a few times as the price doesn't usually work out too bad..

any guess as to the general price this guy might be going for on ebay in February? I have no idea how ebay price trends fluctuate and was wondering if anyone could share some insight.

Ok baring in mind that it does usually take me a day or two to really 'fall in love' with a figure initial thoughts having had him for about a hour now are that it's a nice figure but nothing really amazing, which to be honest is exactly what I was expecting.
The headsculpt looks great but then I've always thought it did, the coat feels really nice but again I suspected it would and he's certainly got shelf presence which is obviously a good thing but that's pretty much all I can say. Nothing really negative to say about him but then at the same time nothing to really hype up either, just a bog standard Hot Toys release (dont take that as a negative btw)
If I were to score him up I'd probably give him an 8/10

Well can't really ask for more than that I guess.. was never going to be the crown jewel of a collection, but a good solid release is what you want.. it's actually quite nice to not see all the hyperbole (like the DX11 thread) for once, it's nice, it's solid - a nice addition for the collection.

Well let me put it this way instead of sitting in my collection room looking at my new Bane I'm downstairs on the laptop looking at your pics of the DX11
Like I said nice figure but for me at least I reckon I'll enjoy the DX11 a lot more, the wait is going to be agonising

I don't have either yet but just looking at the pics people have posted I'm digging Bane a little more at the moment. Something about the smirk sculpt on the Joker just isn't right. I honestly would have preferred it if they didn't make it a smirk and made it more neutral.

The DX11 certainly is a lot of fun.

While Bane won't be arriving until much later (probably late February or early March for me), I've already bought spare parts (extra right hand parts and a pair of extra wrist guards) for the eventual modding I'll be doing so he can have the wrist guard with the closed fist. Still excited for this figure and I'm expecting myself to have some fun posing him around once he gets shipped.
