1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars Episode VII: Captain Phasma

[dms54nyc]

Anyone else wish she had some articulated hands. I think it would have worked well on this figure.

No wayyy, articulated hands work great for someone like iron man, but they cant hold anything. I hate robocops hands for example. The stormtroopers hands work great so she shouldnt be a problem.

 

[FREEKDOM]

She looks awesome.

 

[Darkseed]

Oddly enough I'll wait for the film to determine the priority for this character. I'll pick it up but may be later down the line unless she kicks a$$ in the movie.

 

[Wor-Gar]

And if she does kick all sorts of, it could be sold out by the time you order it.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I want to stand my Phasma next to Vader so it can remind me of the old Star Wars Kenner cards. Black and Silver.

 

[Centrocal]

Well I meant in addition to the sculpted hands That way she could do some hand signals when commanding the troops.(similar to Sideshow's clone troopers) I notice she has 2 trigger hands which I always appreciate, so she can duel wield Also she has 2 grip hands which are probably for holding the cape

 

[davejames]

They do not. BBTS gives you no NRD, SS gives you the figure potentially sooner and rewards points.

CHOOSE WISELY.

And with Sideshow you also get a flex pay option, which is still the biggest draw for me. Unfortunately for the price to come out even with BBTS, I'd still have to wait for the new coupon code...

 

[Wor-Gar]

CA boy....

249.99?? Wow. So glad I am an original trilogy guy. Getting priced out of this hobby more each day.

 

[dms54nyc]

Guess im used to it by now but im not appauled nor surprised by the price point. But shes gonna sell out and prob have a high second hand price, even in a market that has slowed lately.

When I saw the price I came here thinking people would be ecstatic at how cheap it was. People were guessing $260-270 considering it is taller, chrome, and more detailed than the First Order trooper at $220.

Not getting why $20 more than a normal trooper is considered expensive for this figure.

Because people are never happy.

 

[Centrocal]

Its $30 more

Its $30 more

So one less trip with the Fiance to Sushi House.

I can live.

The only real downside to BBTS for me is not having reward points. I always pay in full so flex pay adds no value for me. Taking into account BBTS's drastically cheaper shipping and that they box your order instead of just sending it out in the shipper like SS does is a huge plus. Being able to cancel it on a whim doesn't hurt either.

If you are 100% positive you can afford and want the figure then SS is the better route. If you are on the fence with the character or struggling to finance this hobby I'd go with BBTS.

 

[davejames]

CA boy....

Heh. Yeah screw it, I'm gonna go with BBTS on this one, just so I don't have to see that damn CA tax on my order again.

 

[Darkseed]

I'll risk it......I'm not sold on the character like everyone else yet

 

[Vonhahn]

Its $30 more

On the plus side it's only $10 more then xwing Luke....and comes with a gun...

Most of the figures from the new film have been priced decently. I'm guessing Phasma is more because she'll probably end up being a popular character who will sell.

$10 more, and about 100,000 times cooler.
