Re: Hot Toys Avengers Endgame Nebula MMS Figure

Exactly. I remember my son telling me Nebula was played by the girl from Dr. Who and I was like, 'Which one?" lol

AE says its sold out of 75% of its Nebula stock. Way to go, Karen!

Re: Hot Toys Avengers Endgame Nebula MMS Figure

For my own figure, I am planning to put a small amount of magic tape around the inner neck portion of the jacket to prevent stains. I won't see the tape anyway because of the tight fit of the jacket. I was lucky enough to buy mine at Timewalker and they put plastic around Star-Lord's neck. I don't have space to display it so it's still in the box.

I apologize for being off topic but I wanted to give my 2 cents in case it will help since this topic is being discussed on this thread.

It's ridiculousl they people make such a huge deal about something they won't see. If you can't see the tape then you won't see any stain either so why is it an issue?

And to think HT was probably debating internally for months whether there would really be enough interest in this figure.

I'm betting Valkyrie would sell just about as fast if they were to ever put her up.

Exactly.

I for one am surprised that she has such a following. But happy about it.

I wonder if HT will make their batch larger now... or if she'll remain a lower edition sized figure like Yondu?

Re: Hot Toys Avengers Endgame Nebula MMS Figure

Just ordered from AE. The free ship in conjunction with the $15 made the difference for me with Sideshow.

Ditto. I think I may have scooped the last one at AE. Thanks to Mike for the coupon code!

EDIT: nope. Looks like there is 1 left.

Re: Hot Toys Avengers Endgame Nebula MMS Figure

Wow -- according to an email today, 75% of their stock was sold out, and you got the 2nd to last one... so that could mean their initial preorder stock was as low as 8 units total.

Either way if they make a bigger batch or not I’m glad I ordered her. Would be nice if she turned out more limited than most Just please now HT. Give us Valkyrie.
Do we have any idea how many figures Hot Toys usually makes of a figure? Say like Thor for example. 25,000 or more or less?

Re: Hot Toys Avengers Endgame Nebula MMS Figure

I have no idea.

Sideshow used to make 25,000 figures in their Star Wars line when they were $50-$70. I don't think the market is that high for figures costing $200-$300.

My guess is HT won't make a figure unless they think they can sell a bare minimum 2,500 units. Again, that's my guess. On the high end, I don't know, maybe 7,500-10,000 units. Maybe more on very popular figures -- like Iron Man VI where they kept going back and making more runs.

And now out of stock at AE. Glad I snuck in just under the wire.

Yeah see I was guesstimating on the very high side. I was thinking all the work that goes into these; hand painted head sculpts, sewing the suits on etc I’d imagine 5k being a good number. Real popular characters like Iron Man maybe more.
I wasn’t aware they kept making more runs of the DC VI unless you mean the plastic one. Interesting

No I don’t think so. I saw that email and went to check the stock right after reading. It was at 8. So presumably they ordered in 30-40.

I think people read the emails and immediately purchased through them fearing it would sell out.

Re: Hot Toys Avengers Endgame Nebula MMS Figure

Since this is the outfit she wore in GOTG 2 and IW, I’m wondering if another will be revealed after the film releases. I saw a picture, maybe just a concept, of her and Rocket wearing Avengers outfits with the logo on the shoulder. They weren’t the white/red/black quantum suits either.

Re: Hot Toys Avengers Endgame Nebula MMS Figure

Yeah, I mean really there's very little likeness to base around the way that Gillian actually looks.

I think it’s this. If you look at the Emperor figure from ROTJ, there’s no mention of Ian McDiarmid even though it’s clearly based on his likeness as the Emperor.

Do they do this when someone is CG or buried under makeup? I don’t think they list Josh Brolin on Thanos either.

Alter Ego is sold out now. It's amazing because they had 9 left in stock when I checked after receiving an email from them. I'm guessing that most retailers may sell out if the demand continues to be high but Sideshow should still have her in stock like IW Thor. I think that some retailers may be limiting their purchases to keep inventory low due to cancellations, which is possible because many retailers are asking for NRDs.

It's ridiculousl they people make such a huge deal about something they won't see. If you can't see the tape then you won't see any stain either so why is it an issue?

The staining is not an issue for me personally. I'm putting the tape as a precaution in case I need to sell the figure in the future since a lot of people seem to be concerned about it. I have limited space and thus have to sell off some older figures if I want to get new ones. I don't see myself selling my Star-Lord Vol. 2 figure anytime soon but it's better to be safe than sorry since the tape won't bother me anyway. It's also better than keeping the plastic around his neck.

OK, that's interesting. As I said, my guesstimate would have been the low end assuming nothing sold between that email to me and the 2nd to last sale. But its very interesting that you saw 8 available.

It makes her even more popular if that large a number sold that quickly. Surprising.

She's one hot little ticket.

And I agree, retailers are ordering cautiously now. Sideshow has to keep their stock available because they are buying the bulk of the US allotment from HT. Without their promissory note to order, HT wouldn't bother making the character. And Sideshow can always issue more stock to retailers if the demand is there. I mean, its possible that AE orders a few more now if they get enough people on the wait list.

This is the kind of news that could generate a larger edition size for Nebula, if the interest is well beyond the initial preset edition size. HT might make more. Like going from 2,500 to 3,500 say.

And the movie isn't even out yet. What if she kills Thanos? Her numbers will be huge.

If they take a heavy inspiration from the comics then Nebulas role is very important.

Re: Hot Toys Avengers Endgame Nebula MMS Figure

So Sideshow just sent me a $25 Marvel code as a thank you for my Nebula order. Surprisingly, it's good for all the new pre-orders and doesn't expire until 4/20. Did anyone else get one? Hopefully Ronin in revealed soon. Or Valkyrie, although I don't see her being revealed before opening weekend.

Thanks for the heads up. I got one with my Jean Grey PF pre-order. I always ignore them because they have been so limited in the past. Hoping something good goes up for PO before it expires.

Yep I got the coupon. Hopefully Cap or a Ronin goes up before the 20th
