Hot Toys-MMS 193-GI Joe:Retaliation Storm Shadow Specs + Pics

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Guy in white PJ's amongst military musclemen would look believable?

While not belivable either, at leas this looks more modern and durable looking.

yeah, weird enough. Tony Stark HS is long overdue for an improvement..

Stark looks fine, as did the last ine and the last ine before that

 

[Lawrence]

It looks fine, but it's not at the same level as the better HT sculpts. They've sculpted Stark a few times, but it still hasn't reached Sparrow or Loki level.

 

[Darth_Fatso]

Figure looks great and the likeness to the actor is superb. Sadly I just don't like SS' design in the movie so this is a pass.

It looks fine and I like it, but as Lawrence said, it just
doesn't have that WOW factor.

Wouldn't hurt to hope for perfection.

I wonder why they keep giving TONY STARK headsculpt projects to Kojun, who's done every single Stark HS so inconsistently? Outside Iron Man I find his works lackluster lately. DX 12 faceplates, anyone (though I find his Bale HS the best in mass produced figure to date)? I think someone here on the boards also wonders why Kojun is regarded as THE sculptor for HT.

Lee So Young is my favorite HT sculptor at the moment (and SCUDERIA being my favorite from Enterbay). Her works of late are amazing, and she has the knack to make the figures' eyes do the talking. I'm so glad she did Bane because the eyes are an important aspect to that figure. And I guess she did the same magic here on the unmasked HS.

I hope the she does the sculpt for Dwayne Johnson Roadblock.

EDIT: That said, I think they shouldn't give Lee So Young a DX assignment. PERS would just mess everything up.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

Lee So Young and KA Kim are my favourites.

 

[Darth Zangetsu]

Looks good. I may pic him up. This whole line, for me comes down to how their version of the Rock as Roadblock looks.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

I'm so scared, I might not be able to resist a Dwayne Johnson figure.

Well, I resisted SE, so..might be able to.

Does storm shadow really cost 200 bucks?
Because around here in Malaysia we're getting him for the equivalent of 174 usd, not a big difference but still, i find it curious because usually prices are roughly the same amount once you're done calculating exchange rates and all that, but this time round it seems we're getting him cheaper.
Same thing with snake eyes, we're getting him for 160 usd only.
It looks like we're getting them for 30 bucks less.

I was going to order him directly through Sideshow using the Valentine's coupon code they just gave us. However, that code won't work on him, thanks for nothing Sideshow. I guess I will go elsewhere.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

I think they stopped making the code valid to most PO's.
Or they just pulled it out altogether.

Are these prices from Big Bang Toyz in Malaysia? Do you know if they ship to Australia and if so how much shipping would be?

 

[Snakey Jones]

All malaysian collectible stores seem to be selling at these prices. I'm not sure if big bang toyz ships to australia, truthfully they are not my usual go to store for collectibles; but i see no reason why they would not.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

Are the prices the same for In-stock figures or do they appreciate by a large amount once in-stock?

 

[Snakey Jones]

The prices are the same for in stock figures.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

Cool! Might visit Malaysia sometime.

I'm sure if you shop around a bit you can find places selling these guys for (relatively) cheap in the states as well, i brought it up because after comparing prices at several online retailers (malaysian and american); it would appear we malaysians get snake eys and storm shadow for about 10-30 bucks cheaper, depending on where you order from. Its not a great deal of money but its pretty neat, next time i see my supplier i'll bring it up and see if he has anything to say about it.

I hope this is the case for the rest of the joe line, already jonesing for that storm shadow and it'll be even more incentive to get their bruce willis figure when it comes out.

 

[nongshim]

I usually get my figures from Animarket. They are selling the gi joe figures for $185 and $190. After shipping to Australia works out to be around $220 each. Big Bang toys got them for $160 but they quoted me $60 for shipping so all works out to be the same in the end.

As long as it's cheaper even when in-stock, I'll take it.
Besides haven't been there. Visiting a new place, while buying
a HT fig for a good price is great
