Hot Toys- 300 - King Leonidas spec and pics

[Darkseed]

Does anybody outside China have these yet?

I'm just trying to established the time from when we see these sorts of pics to when folks in China start shipping them.

I don't believe so. Generally speaking HT releases from a North America perspective follow this schedule (subject to change of course):

- Asia (ebay or certain suppliers) get their shipments within a day to weeks after release
- Toys2 usually gets their shipments 2 weeks after the Asia release.
- Sideshow usually gets their shipments 4 weeks after the Asia release.
- Retailers who depend on Sideshow get their shipments last (4 plus weeks after Asia release).

Granted there are exceptions depending money a person wants to spend and how long they want to wait for an item.

Thanks for that.

So who are these product photo's from. In know folks are stating their names but that means nothing to me.

From Toy-World


I was doubting if he could really do that...
That's amazing!!

Seems like HT finally got ridoff 'the rubber body giraffe neck syndrome' on the final products.
Hope my seller starts shipping soon...

Not sure, but I think the pics are from people who in person actually bought the item from the Toy Hunters HT store...
and from eBay sellers who have the item in-stock.

If they are in the HT store then they would be out with the china ebay sellers?!

Is Toy World not just somene that would get advance figures for reviews?!

I wrote Toy Hunters and to my knowledge it's a physical Hot Toys store in Hong Kong.
Sorry for my English, dunno know if I stated this right?

No I understand you!

I'm relatively new here so I am just trying to get picture on how things work from Hot Toys.

OK.
I'd imagine the store gets the items first and then the dealers. But I have no idea how long it takes for the dealers to receive the items...

Many of the first released pics come from this site (1/6 Action figures):

Ah ok! Thanks guys!

man those shots look nice. i was hesitant because i didnt think he's pose too good but this is awesome

 

[Maglor]

In a perverse way I'm glad I cancelled this figure.

I'd want him in poses like that all the time and if we're honest, you know that body will rip and tear eventually.

A+ to Hot Toys for pushing the envelope of what you can do in 1;6 yet again, but I can't help feeling these rubber bodies aren't quite there just yet.

Is that really likely to happen?

Has anybody had this experience yet?

I would be afraid that the knee joints would just get kind of stretched out in time. Which isn't much better I guess, because then his knees would look all loose and bulgy when the legs were straight.

AH-HOO AH-HOO AH-HOO !

Despite being pretty vocal about disliking this fig at the beginning (which I now feel stupid about) I have to admit its looking really good. Pretty much my only issue now, and its a minor one, is how the hair from the helmet sticks out a little from his back...I'm sure that would be an easy fix though.

Still I think I'll probably have to pass on this guy, theres just too much coming at the minute.

I do love the movie though...

Are you asking if HT muscular bodies rip or tear, the answer is yes. I have not experienced it (yet) but I do not move them often nor put them in outrageous poses.

I have seen pics with parts of the body torn, I believe Rambo II had major issues. I have not heard of anything lately with Hellboy, Dutch Billy etc. Either people have learned what to do versus what not to do or HT fixed the problem.

I know this one's made of different material or whatever but I think the extreme poses in some of these pics might be a little risky.

Is there still a danger once its posed or is it the movement of the joints thats more likely to cause a tear?

 

[Calcifer]

Just seen these at toy-world ..man the fig looks fantastic ..proportions are perfect! saved them 2 my album.

 

[SHOCK-Advised!]

Sorry, L-N-E, but can't see the pic you just posted.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I give this figure about 6mnths, if you pose it like some of the pics I have seen.

Superb figure, but likely to tear over time.

 

[SanShouXMA]

That Leonidas looks crazy flexible compared to the other muscle bodies. I don't think I can wait to purchase the US release. I may pick it up now.
