Hot Toys - Iron Man 3 - Mark XXXIX / Starboost

[hockeyflow33]

Ok..you seems to not understand there is a difference between a pre-order being closed(after 16 months of being open) and a figure being sold out, or not, after it is actually released.

It's a HUGE difference. Massive. Ok, so maybe not that big..but still large. But even if you did compare them, which you really can't because what are you comparing...the time lengths are still pretty close. Even if this was completly sold out..which seems to be what you are thinking..it still took OVER A YEAR. You tell me how that's good or fast. Compared to anything.

As for same movie armors...this isn't the only one to wait list. Even from iron man 3. But given that we have no idea what the exact numbers are it's hard to compare. I'm sure this will be a lower produced figure them the main movie armors. Like 6 or 42 or 43. Probably much more inline numbers wise with the exclusive versions of each then the regular full plus exclusive. So let's say for fun, they produced 3 times as many starboost as they did mark 42 (same movie) exclusive...it still took five (at least) times as long if you cut the time in half to account for the number differences. Obviously I am just using non specific numbers as an illustration. And last I looked on sideshows site, almost every armor that has been released this far has been completly sold thru. Heartbreaker and silver centurion both sold out faster. And that's if you take the preorder time plus the retail time (which we have yet to get to with the starboost figure as it hasn't yet been released).

But even if they did not sell out it really doesn't matter to the argument. When anything is up for sale to be purchased at retail with no mark up for well over a full year you can not call it a FAST seller. There's not an argument you could make that would make it so.

Don't even waste your typing anymore, the guy is refusing to read what you write.

I won't be surprised if this goes off the wait list and back up to order when SS gets them in. The ASM2 EX figure was wait listed for a long time then was available to order when SS got their stock in--same with Silver Centurion EX. It happens quite a bit with 1/6 scale figures and statues alike. Starboost isn't even a limited release and doesn't have an EX. It'll be back.

Did you just compare Spider Man figures to HT's bread and butter IM figures?

As soon as the contract kinks are worked out, Spider-Man will be an Avenger and it's just a matter of time before HT figures out the kind of money they'll make with Spider-Man in Iron Man armor. It won't be the Iron Spider suit because they won't be able to use old molds--just a "Mark whatever" with a Spider-Man head popped on. New bread--same butter. Fastest sell-out in Sideshow history.

No way they'd recycle old molds for an Iron Spidey fig.

If HT wants to sell Spidey figs, Marvel first needs to cast that One Direction jagoff in the lead role. Then put him in an IM suit.

No idea who that is.

But, if HT wants to sell Spidey figs, the studios need to make a Spidey film that isn't completely terrible.

I'm glad it's not just me that thinks all the Spider-Man movies are naff, I always want to like them but they've all been pretty poor really, it's a shame too as Spidey looks so damn cool.

Oh man, Iron Spider in the Civil War movie... that would be incredible.

I think HT would recycle every Mark mold and slap on a Spider-Man head if they thought they would sell. Mark II Spidey Unleashed version! Mark IV Red Panties Spidey!

Ssshhhhhh--you're not supposed to put a cash value to the whole list! The total $ amount doesn't exist if I don't add it up.

Were these from the animated show? I had so many of those figures but I don't remember these guys?

 

[darthconlan]

A whole page dedicated to Spiderman on an iron man forum? These forums are becoming rubbish everyday!

SO is Starboost stuck on the "docks" ?
