Ordered. Used some reward dollars to bring him down to about $220.
I hope these sell out fast so I feel better about my purchase. I was on the fence but don't want no RAGRETS later...
Not quite. Hot Toys doesn’t do SDCC exclusives.
Yeah hot toys doesnt do san diego comic con. I'm not even sure sideshow does sdcc anymore. Hot toys does this toyfair thing every year, usually the figures are over produced but pick up steam a couple years later (maria hill, hpp iron men etc).
Maybe there was a predator sdcc figure but it was probably available at toyfair as well. I think the gun metal iron man was an sdcc figure though and it had that priority preorder disaster of an ordering process.
So is this guy limited in anyway?
I'm not sure what you guys are talking about. Last year at SDCC you could walk up and buy the DS Anakin at Sideshow's booth, it was that convention's exclusive. "Toy Fair" just means "convention" basically and they have different ones for different places but they all go up on SS.
Sideshow/Hot Toys have a MASSIVE display at SDCC. They absolutely will be there. They reveal more stuff at SDCC than they do at any other convention in recent memory.
So is it pretty much confirmed that only Sideshow will be the only game in town to preorder this from?
Also I've never purchased anything from SS before, but do they charge tax in NY or NJ?
Sideshow is the distributor in the US, so even if you buy from bbts, you are still getting it from sideshow. Its a different story if you are buying from asia. As far as tax, yes they charge it, but its the shipping that bothers me more than the tax. Expect a 19+ dollar shipping charge and then it still takes a week to get to you.

Hot Toys doesn’t do SDCC exclusives. Anything available by Hot Toys at SDCC is not an exclusive to that convention. “Toy Fair” doesn’t even mean convention. There are a few big toy fairs throughout the world in the summer, including the Shanghai Expo which is probably why Hot Toys slaps the label on these. If Hot Toys makes figures available at SDCC, those same figures are available on the Sideshow website in greater numbers than at the convention, not to mention all around the world. If a product is available everywhere on earth and the amount available at SDCC via Sideshow compared to its website is less, I wouldn’t call that a SDCC exclusive. I’d say it is available at SDCC first. The same reason we don’t call every Hot Toys figure released in Hong Kong exclusive simply because its available there first.
