Hot Toys - MMS 103 - X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Wolverine Figure

[Skiman]

Well I went for the conversion of Flex payment on this guy but got denied since they are no available flexing options, what do you think the odds are of this guy being processed by the 15th or do you think it will be towards the end of the month? If it's on the 15th I will have a greater chance of getting this figure!!!

I got mine from ABC Express today, what a figure, superb 10/10.

The Sideshow notice was for 20 days on 12/30, which would be about 1/19, I'm a little baffled as to how John Connor was 15 days and Wolverine 20 since I'd assume they're coming on the same shipment from HT, but that's what the emails said. I would say 1/19 is probably realistic and if we hear anything sooner it'll be a surprise.

But the thing that is annoying about this body even moreso than the joints is the fact that it's still rubber anyway. Like, at least if it was plastic you wouldn't have to worry about rubbs and wear and tear it's like the worst of both worlds IMO!

Do you think it's Sideshow's way to space out their shipments so their warehouse can handle all the outgoing products?

Oh noes!

 

[lobox42]

I spoke with someone on cornerstorecomics they say Wolverine be here in 8 or 10 days!!!

I suppose, but I think it takes weeks for these things to come over, so if anything, might just be that they are all coming in same time but they won't deal with processing for another week so they're not overwhelmed with how many items they're processing, because that's just two products I know of coming in around this time, I'm sure there are others too.

Quite a bit according to the 12/17 newsletter.

Well you gotta go by emails more than that list, I've seen things on that list that never even have emails go out within the period because of delays, and things shipping now are also in that list.

Commander Cody bust is arriving on doorsteps but is still on there.

I'm sure there's quite a bit around the same time as John and Wolverine, but might not be as much as the 30 day list.

 

[Skiman]

Oh noes!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

Tru the list is more of a guideline, I've seen something on the list before that I wanted to ship so badly and then it doesn't come for another 30 days and so on.

 

[MaulFan]

I remember HT Davy Jones and Will Turner being on the list, and they were held up during like the dock strike or something in CA, but week after week they continued to be in the 30 day list, the 20-25 day mark from email had passed.

Really, until you get the we'll be preauthorizing on this date emails, anything could happen, sooner or later, and sometimes even that email isn't dead on, you do get preauthed when it says but it finally ships a week or two later than expected.

I still like it though, at least it gives you a rough idea and if for some reason you can't cover it financially you can deal with it. I hate that other places, one day, it just ships, and you might not be expecting it and it can really throw a monkey wrench into your life.

Yeah Sideshow pre-auth e-mails are usually dead on, it's the shipping from that point on that varies.

 

[Darth Waller]

Yeah, a lot of collectors would be screwed if that 30 day list were 100% accurate.

 

[Darth Waller]

So tell me HT guys, what are some good figures to start with. I like the movie licenses HT has, so that is not a factor.

 

[MaulFan]

DX Joker is fantastic figure set if you're a Dark Knight fan, the new BD Iron Man looks very promising for that. The new T2 Terminator looks really good.

There are some older figures that were really nice but unlikely you could get them for a reasonable price today, better off with ordering something shipping right now or that's on preorder.

 

[Skiman]

Well I love Dutch and the Predators but there will be difference opinions on the Dutch since some ppl don't like the muscle body, I love muscles so bring them on!!!!

Iron Man figs, this Wolverine here is pretty nice.

Joker/TDK

 

[Darth Waller]

Joker DX definitely looks like a winner. I'll probably preorder T-800 and the BD Iron Man. The Alien looks great even if it isn't accurate, which isn't a big deal to me.
