Hot Toys- DX14- Mime version Joker... didn't see this coming!

[franpincho]

I paid full price for Mime Joker, West and Robin (well save for those monthly coupons). I'm a dumb *******.

I know the same scenario is going to happen with the PS T-800 and Robocop too.

It seems like the norm now, doesn't it? Who would've thought.

Don't feel bad though, after Robo, I'm 100% sure I'll never PO anything again, EX or not.

Waiting for Cop Murphy/BD Robo two-pack to become coupon eligible. I'm not yet ballsy enough to wait for Spook deals on it.

Ay! And looks like MARVEL is planning to kill STAR WARS.

Video killed the radio star ...

Got mine yesterday, with a free gift (a video game action figure I'm not familiar with). Haven't even had a chance to open the shipper due to home projects, but I plan to get to it tonight. No-brainer purchase for the price + rewards + free shipping (well, technically $10 for a pack-out, but the free figures compensates for that).
Strongly considering a second '66 Batman & Robin ...

I got mine today and I didn't get a free figure. Is it random?

Yes, but I believe your odds are better if you pay for a pack-out.
The figure I received was the Play Arts Vanquish - Bogey figure. Not anything I'm familiar with, but cool nonetheless.

 

[Snacks McGee]

Vanquish looks pretty sweet.

Seriously, I haven't been PO'ing or buying any 'just released' stuff lately. Im waiting to snatch a deal for PS T-800 and Han/Chewie

 

[dominishin]

Wait what is the PS T-800?

 

[DiFabio]

Police Shootout Terminator. The MMS 238 from T1.

 

[dominishin]

Ah, yeah going to wait on that too. I already regret few of my recent purchases (Black Widow, Crow).

Have a feeling I'm going to regret my Armory set too...

 

[DiFabio]

Have a feeling I'm going to regret my Armory set too...

Yeah, I feel the same. I bet all three options sit in their inventory.

I'm never ordering early again.

 

[warlock664]

Wow, really impressed by this figure! I never felt the need to add this one to my collection, since I own the DX08, and I cancelled my original pre-order pretty early on. I couldn't pass it up for $144, though, and I'm really glad to have it! The costuming, likeness, and display stand are all outstanding, the only sub-par detail I can find is the clearly visible seam where the head separates for the PERS function, but the hat neatly covers it when on. All in all, one of the better Hot toys bargains I've scored in a while (probably the best since Sideshow clearanced the New Goblin at $80 for Thanksgiving in 2012).
In an odd coincidence, I opened 3 Hot Toys figures tonight that I'd recently acquired for good deals - DX14 Mime Joker, MMS 220 The Wolverine, and MMS216 General Zod, and all 3 are primarily basic black in color scheme!

Hot toys Goblin for $80...wow that is a darn awesome deal...I would buy one !!

Actually, I checked my order history, and it was $89.99 (using a coupon code provided by SSC), so $90 I guess, but still a great deal. I would have never bought him for SRP ($169), but at that price I couldn't pass him up!

 

[warlock664]

Uncle Bingo !



And here's Zod (with Supes):



And MMS220 The Wolverine (with Origins Wolvie):



(pardon my poor photography)

Yup...still a great deal...I think the mime is this years great deal.

 

[Bjjer]

I just bought one. I couldn't pass for $154 shipped.

You are not alone dude.:

I always said the day I couldn't get my money back would be the day I'm out. Unless they really start re-thinking their price strategy,(which they won't), that day appears to be sooner than later. As I glance over at Mime, it has lost a lot of it's luster all of the sudden. While still a beautiful figure, I kind of hate it now if you know what I mean. It visually puts into perspective how insane this hobby has become and it leaves a sour taste.

..and oh look, there's Batman and Robin a few shelves away awaiting the same fate.



With all that being said, i'm happy for those who got him at the correct price.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Well, I paid full price for mine. Preordered day one. It's one of my favorite figures still but if your looking at your dolls and seeing mostly dollar bills instead then I can see how they would lose their luster as retail prices drop...even temporarily.

I remember buying two HT Two Face figures off Amazon for $50 each and now it's one of the highest priced figures on eBay so take heart, if you can stand the sight of your collection for a little while longer then your investment will payoff.

 

[DiFabio]

For me, I think it all evens out in the end. I've had a lot of great deals, I've sold things that cost me pennies for a huge profit, etc.

I can't really agree with you Vortex, yeah, I paid the full price for the DX 14, but seeing the discounts doesn't make me like it less. It's whatever. Ya win some, ya lose some. 4
