Expect miracles to happen... If you believe that sort of stuff. Though there is a chance they might change it for the final proto and, better yet, the final product.

Here you go.

Good job. It does look more like RDJ.

 

[intothevoid]

It's not mine btw, saw it posted on FB. But yeah, it's well done. Face needs some basic tweaks, right now looks way too generic IMO

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

Hold on. Does it say 34.000 Yen on the Hot Toys Japan website? Because if it does... that would be about 375$ which means I'd have to pay about 375€, which would be about 500$. ****...

it's really hard to collect this in Europe huh..

Here you go.
Have fun

We've been..expecting you..

I miss your vectors. Great job, looks a bit more like RDJ

Here you go.

It is the worst HT headsculpt I've seen for a while though..

With customs checking pretty much every parcel, sales tax + customs duty raise the price of the figures to the same level in € as Americans pay in $.

:/

Retailers in Germany reacted accordingly and offer the figures for the same price in € as SS charges in $. Makes things easier as you don't have to deal with customs yourself, while paying basically the same amount of money.

Which retailers? From what I've seen the prices from German retailers are way more expensive than SS.

Example:
https://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=9018971&ref=learnmore_9018971#HotToysItem
and a German shop:
https://www.toy-palace.com/product_...engers-Iron-Man-Mark-VII-1-6-Figur-30-cm.html

or
https://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=901864&ref=learnmore_901864#HotToysItem
German shop:
https://www.incredible-figures.de/preview/news/the-avengers-thor/

or this (pretty close to a 1:1 $-€ ratio at least):
https://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=901896&ref=learnmore_901896#HotToysItem
German shop:
https://www.toy-palace.com/product_...ark-Knight-Rises---Batman-DX-Figur-30-cm.html



All in all, it's pretty much 1:1 $-€ ratio. Some are more expensive (shops as well as certain figures), but that's more or less the general consent, it seems.

I agree. It's a step backwards

Now I understand what you mean. Thought you meant the price were the same just converted to the other currency. Like 250 dollars = 185 euros. I gotta say, those prices are pretty bad. They charge almost 100 dollars more for the MK7...

Edit: It would even be cheaper to import them from HK!

 

[reuters]

It's retailing for US$272 over at my side.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. Maybe it's the work of an intern or that new girl what's-her-face..? Can't remember her name.

Ah well. Must have been a misunderstanding then. My apologies :S

Cheaper to import from HK? Including shipping, customs and sales tax? Are you sure? Sales tax in Germany is 19% btw. Not sure how high/low it is in Sweden.

 

[Balrog]

Here you go.

Have fun

It shouldn't, but it reminds me of this DevilShoppe™

Which side is this?

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

Sculpt is terrible, but the package is nice.
It's a good thing they specifically mentioned the headsculpt in the disclaimer.

Just don't know if it means, they're going to change it, or it's just that if this gets approved, it's what we'll get.

On another note, HT promo pics tend to distort things anyway.

 

[edheng]

it is going for $306SGD in singapore...may have to break and buy him actually

I need a Tony

 

[Ramatuelle]

Made some adjustments based on your observation:

Just for fun, guys, if you don't see which one's better, more power to you.

RDJ in no way, shape or form has eyes anywhere near that large, nor are his irises taking up most of the visible eye area. They just arn't.

Since people are making claims based on "realism," lets stick with reality. "Puppy-dog-eyes Stark" is not what I am aiming for. Cute yes, realistic....? No.
