My friend in HK has the figure on hand. Looks awesome.

Love the pics of this fig. Can't wait to get it!

The only figure to top this at SDCC is Jack Sparrow. (and even that is a tough call).

My favs in order:
Sparrow
Todd
Superman
Bale Batman
Joker

I will be getting all of these.

I had to choose between the 2 but I actually liked the Sweeney Todd film better then all 3 of the Pirates movies so I went with this guy....both are great figures though.

When this guy due out in USA by the way?

Oh how I hate you Hot Toys how many figures are we averaging a month

 

[NewGoblin23]

Has anybody ordered from toy anxiety before? I never have but ordered Sweeney through them but have no idea when to expect them to get it. Idk if they get their shipments directly from HK or what

 

[Deak Starkiller]

They get them from Sideshow, and they ship super fast. Pretty sure Pre-Orders are the first to go.

I hear ya man. Jack showed up like a day or two before this on here and my g-friend and myself went gaga over it. Then i see this and i'm like, "This is more my style". By that time we had already pre-ordered Jack, and I was happy that my g-friend and myself were co-owning a figure together so I didn't dare say "Well, hun..i'd kinda rather have Todd here", and ruin the moment we all dream of having with our significant other.

So, i did what any guy would do who can't afford everything, I asked for it as a Christmas present.

Score!

I'm struggling hard here!
I have this one and Demon Bats both coming the same week.
I keep trying to talk myself out of this one, but dang-it, it looks incredible!

Looks like Ill be getting Sweeney and Spiderman right around the same time!

Love this pic

Yeah this will sell, well poorly, compared to the other stuff coming out from HT. Will there be demand of it in the future? No one knows. It looks great and congrats to those who get it.
HT is stretching the wallets too much lately- somethings gotta give and this figure is one of those somethings!

Watching the film now, but you are right, i would like this, but with so much else this is falling below the radar

Such an amazing figure and likeness. Love the way it captures different aspects of the Depp depending on the angle. and that chair ! So much being released right now, but had to flex it, it's too nice a craftsmanship to pass up.

OMG, your photos are amazing. You have a real creative skill. How fast you get these things up is a nice touch too

You never know tho, I can see this being sought after later. Its not on alot of peoples radar because of all the other big releases, but I can see people wanting this later on down the line and it being difficult to find. Who knows tho, it could be something thats easily available for years and never shoots up in price

I think your first thought is correct. This figure definitely has a smaller production run than your average superhero character. It has a smaller fanbase but will probably stay in the collections of the people who care to buy it. And there will never be a 2.0/DX/remake figure. So while the For Sale section is littered with Iron Mans and DX Batmans I doubt you will see many of these in there. As time goes by, more people will come to appreciate this film. Seems like with superhero-type movies people abandon their collection to fund the next big thing that comes along. This is a fantastic piece if you are a Sondheim or Burton fan, or just love this movie. If you are a Depp fan this is a major release in what looks to be an extensive series based on his work. I think you will see this piece skyrocket once HT rolls out the rest of their "Depp Collection."
