1/6 Hot Toys Avengers: Endgame - Armored Thanos

The weathering looks amazing, this is the version to have

 

[hottoyskyle]

I like the weathering and the sword and base. In my opinion this is the figure to have but I don’t blame people for wanting the IW version either.

 

[yacobschlomo]

I doubt we get that kind of weathering on the production figure.

The bent arm doesn't look to have as bad of a crease as the IW does when you bend the arm. I'm thinking they are either going to include a bent arm with this version or they figured out how to do the joint area better or it's just the angle of the picture and I'm just not seeing the crease.

Can definitely see why more and more places charge NRDs.

Not sure why Hot Toys didn’t just reveal this in June or so. Wait for the IW Thanos preorders to ship atleast.

I like how people are putting the versions against each other. Im getting both but thats just me. Either way, we can all agree the GotG is the worse one..

This has me laughing too. Like the thinking "oh I didn't order IW Thanos, so this Thanos is the definitive one to have, the IW is awful now".

The guy that owns my LCS was really pissed off about how this figures release is being handled. He told me that he's gotten a bunch of cancellations on the IW Thanos since these pics dropped. He said he'll be contacting his Sideshow rep to cut his IW Thanos order by 2/3. On the upside, I wasn't planning on getting Thanos at all until I saw this. I bet I'm not the only one either.

Well we all know this was inevitable. Did your LCS provide a percentage in cancellations or any tangible figures? It is kind of a head scratcher that HT would use Armored Thanos as one of it's initial teases for the Endgame line...doesn't really make sense, considering they RUSHED the entire IW line.

But with that said, I think I'm gonna be on the cancellation boat too, well I guess technically I'm gonna try to transfer my deposit to a different figure. I'm thinking of switching it over the WM Mk IV. Sure we haven't seen the final product, so it's gonna be a bit of a gamble, but that camouflage paint app is too dope to pass up!

It's not that I don't want IW Thanos anymore, I still plan on getting him, but I just feel like I can get him a lot cheaper than retail when the dust finally settles (pun intended).

Canceled my other one. HT made a mistake releasing these pics before all of them charged thru.

That's literally what I'm thinking

That's literally what I'm thinking

and that's fair, to each their own. I'm in for both just because I love the character so much and to have both versions will be awesome. I kind of admire the people who enforce rules on their collections like "only one figure of a character, can't have multiples". Thanos was a rockstar in IW, really the main character and I'm not sure there's been a villain that I've liked so much in a movie before.

What surprises me the most is people actually thought HT wouldn't make this figure. They may have a bad track record with villains, but they've made the big-bads for every Avengers movie.

We'll we all guessed but none of us knew until the pics were posted. And honestly, he doesn't pour over these message boards they way we do. Yeah the guy likes the figures but this stuff is simply product to him from a business perspective. That being said, why would he provide percentages to a customer chit chatting in his store? I'm not an investor in his business. If you were a retailer you would be annoyed too by them previewing a clearly superior version of a character before the previous version even shipped.

I have been saying since last year hot toys needed to get the casual thanos out and sold out months before the armored Thanos is shown. How could hot toys not see this coming?

 

[The Iron Koob]

Just ordered from SSC with $60 rewards and $20 discount code that came in the mail

 

[DasMuse]

I'm guessing they messed up the flex options, i'm sure they will work it out for anyone who wants smaller payments.

Curious why the payments start now? I'm guessing they'll fix this. Mark 85 $423
