BTW, why is the CM thread closed? Was someone sounding off about agendas again?
I believe so...

What is the deal with HT ? I have never heard of so many delays. It's across the board franchisewise too ?? Not just DC.
Surely the stuff going on in HK can't be the cause of it all. Plus it doesn't seem like there is some massive movie event where they are frantically making figures everyone will want.
I'm a huge SW fan, and I have literally no desire for a huge amount of Ep9 figures. The interest by most is also pretty low I would say.
So what gives Hot Toys ? Have they lost interest ?? Have the wheels fallen off ?
I'm not sure what their deal is but if I had to guess I'd say they prioritize their biggest sellers / most popular characters. Save for Hulkbuster, I don't recall many significant delays for IM figures or Spider-man figures. And who knows, it could be also be a staffing issue with them. Maybe their popularity and # of licenses have grown at a faster rate than their number of top-notch artists? Or maybe it's a manufacturing capacity issue. These delays may be the trade-off we need to make in order to still get the high quality we've come to expect from them. I've noticed that some of their more recent releases (Rescue, BD IM Mk 85 & Mysterio to name 3) have lengthy lead times, so maybe they're adjusting their estimates and that will become the norm going forward?
One of the local Aussie Etailers is showing in stock of Wasp and Antman.
It might just be pre-order spots.
I haven't seen stock on Ebay yet, so it's unlikely they have released and bypassed HK.
But you never know, i suppose.
I got a notification from SSC that the final payment is getting pushed back again now to March 20. Captain Marvel is finally about to make her debut in the States, but how much longer for Ant-Man and the Wasp?!!!!!
Gamora, GOTG2....that is all.
Hopefully the Wasp final product ends up being better than CM...from what I've seen so far, her figure looks very toy-ish and plasticky. It's lacking that realism that HT usually is able to imbue with the majority of their figures.
Cause so far the Wasp headsculpt from the prototypes seemed quite toy-ish...
This delay is ridiculous...
A good check I like to do is see if there are any parts or non-solicited pics of figures being sold on eBay. If you don't see any....that figure isn't out or coming soon.
Captain Marvel for example should be coming really soon because I see many Chinese vendors selling her parts on eBay.
Frankly, I'm cool with a year long break from hot toys.I would say so, unfortunate as that is... but people's health is much more important than toys.
