Finally got this guy today, and I've got to say. . .I'm slightly disappointed. This is a very nice figure, and a good representation of the character, but it didn't blow me away like it did for others. Maybe my expectations were too high with everybody saying that this was the "best Hot Toys figure ever", etc., but I definitely don't think this is the case. Of recent releases alone, I personally think Blade is much better. Part of it might be that some other HT figures really surprise you by looking so much better in person than in pictures or by giving you more posing options than you expect, etc. But this guy, nice as he is, doesn't seem superior to what I saw in pics. The muscle body seems to be a big improvement over Wolverine, though. Much easier to pose without feeling like you will break something.

Putting the T2 Blu-Ray on as I type. Maybe seeing the film will help me to change my mind.

:horror:horror:horror:thud:
 
Indeed, these are all the HT figures I've got since last summer starting with the Terminator Salvation line, where I think they really stepped up their human paint apps, and everything has just been mind blowingly awesome since then, HT's always been at the top of 1/6 figures, but they really elevated their game last year, the sculpts, the paint work, the tailoring, the weathering, everything has gone up a notch since summer 2009 with their figures.

Well the one I got is unopened, and the cashback I'll get will bring the net total to $175.

Yeah, I only started getting heavy into these types of collectibles a couple months back so I've been playing a little catchup. I overpaid a bit for the few I've bought so far, but hopefully most of the things I'll be getting are things I can plan for.

Yea I guess I see the bottom numbers but I'd rather have it from a Freak than eBay, prolly get it sooner and the rebates for BING blow.

Just my opinion on all of that though, some ppl can wait it out for the money and the fig.

@ Kara, U GOT ANOTHER BLADE?
