I got my Infinity gauntlet #1 signed by Jim Starlin and Ron Lim at Ace Comic Con last year. Gonna put on display with both Thanos figures.
I wouldn’t assume he’ll go straight to the bargain bin. Once Endgame drops and this figure is in-stock, many will order him because he’s available and hype will be high.
Yep agreed. This is still a great representation of the character. While some people waited out pre-ordering and feel it paid off some are too quick to jump the gun on cancelling in my opinion.That is what everone was saying about the 1st Dr Strange when the second came out and it is still has not (or rarely) dropped below the original retail price. This one is the one he won. He kicked everyones butt hard, destroyed half the universe and made it look easy. I consider it a must have in my collection.
I hate to be that guy but IW represents the penultimate Thanos appearance and Endgame is obviously the ULTIMATE. The Endgame figure is practically a DX figure and how many Thanos' do most truly need on their shelves. Opinions are going to split into two camps...folks who already pre-ordered the IW figure and will find the good in this honestly excellent figure...and folks who did not and will be thanking their lucky stars as they opt for the clearly better version. Both are great figures but if you want a Thanos I think it's clear which one is the better figure and representation. This one is going on clearance...Dr. Strange would have too if Hot Toys had stuck it to the customers on that one as well by putting the IW version up for pre-order before most people even had the standalone version in hand.
For one, IW is likely going to be a superior film to EG.
And IW certainly allows Thanos to be his most dastardly and win in the end... which will likely NOT be the case in EG.
‘Superior’ Iron Man looks or armors haven’t dampened the demand for older looks/armors. How many would pick up a new Mark 1 despite it being as useful as Black Widow or Hawkeye against Thanos?
As someone put it, this is the champion Thanos. No matter how much cooler it looks, Endgame will be the loser Thanos. IW was Thanos’ crowning achievement and that will mean something to many. I don’t expect this figure to be a First Order Stormtrooper.
