Hot Toys: - MMS156 - Captain America The First Avenger Official Specs and Pics

[SSC EX Hunter]

Hey what do you guys think the edition size is on this figure?

 

[Veil1]

Was watched today. To be fair it's another potential GREAT blockbuster that have been turned into a mediocre show for a couple of reviews.
So still so far the only truly in all respects high-quality Marvel movie is the first "Iron Man".

But this doesn't mean that I don't like the concept and characters of the Cap-movie, no-no-no.
Despite the fact that the heroic costume conceptually more correct... I still don't like it design.
So USO 2in1 Captain and 2in1 RedSkull - dats all I need from HotToys. Hopefully that we will not have to wait long for these two

The shield will be plastic but vacumized to make it look like metal.

Just like Odin's Gungnir!

Maybe..

So what do you guys think this figure's edition size is numbered to?

Complete crap shoot, but I would guess somewhere on the order of 7-8,000.

 

[Lawrence]

You want us to play the guessing game?

 

[karamazov80]

I take it back, I'm gonna guess 10-15,000. Just as likely

 

[The Josh]

Just like Odin's Gungnir!

Yeah, exactly like that!

A metal shield would have been awesome but it made it hard for the figure to hold poses.

As far as an ES for cap? Probably 4-6k

 

[SSC EX Hunter]

Why does HT have such high numbers man, I mean sideshow only has like 1K per figure

 

[Lawrence]

More $?

 

[SSC EX Hunter]

Obviously but wouldnt higher edition sizes lead to price drops on your figs down the road?

HT does not want to limit their revenue by limiting their production to a small run. After all, the more pieces they produce, the cheaper it is. If they can make a second run of a figure, based on demand, they will. (Also true for a company like DC).

Unfortunately, the more pieces they make, the higher the chances of defective pieces if they don't increase their QA program.

If only

eh...yes and no. If the edition sizes start to get really high (maybe 50k+), then yes I would think the price would drop substantially simply because the market would be saturated with HT figures. The supply would out-weigh the demand. But if they keep their edition sizes in check and base them on recent demand for similar figures, the price can stay the same or rise.

All the other recent Marvel figures have had 2 heads... Are we sure this one doesn't have an unmasked head??

 

[karamazov80]

Well. . .Spiderman didn't have two heads. Thor didn't have 2 heads, either. Nor did Odin. Or Wolverine, or Blade. In fact, I think the Iron Man guys are the only Marvel characters to have two heads, and that is only the Mark IV, and VI figures recently.

Don't forget Whistler, Black Widow, and Whiplash...

The only Iron Man figure that didn't come with two sculpts is the Mark I figure. All the rest of them came with a regular sculpt and at least a reveal helm sculpt.
