Hot Toys - MMS157- Sucker Punch: Babydoll

[Sweet Rabbit]

ordered this one too

If HT figured this wouldn't move then why are they making the rest of the Sucker Punch girls? Thats what I've read anyways.

Oh you mean the blurb about future releases? Yeah, I remember Watchmen had that. I'm sure those figures are still coming too.

I think Hot Toys got the license B4 the movie came out and trying to recoup costs by jacking up the prices. They didn't know that the movie was gonna suck.

Which is essentially what I said save your opinion of the film tossed in.

Each, or was there some frequent buyer discount involved?

Oh, sorry, yeah each.

 

[Cheungkinmen]

Pfff... $150+ for these aren't worth it, pass.

Since the price was higher than I anticipated I think I'm getting Baby Doll only now, instead of both of them (even though Amber was my favorite design wise)

I think if HT made her front bangs slightly thicker/longer and made her upper lip bigger the likeness would stand out much stronger. I think longer (maybe even applied) eyelashes would be great too, since hers were long. I kinda wish their head sculpt wasn't so serious either... but what can ya do?

 

[denger4000]

perhaps i'm a sucker but I ordered both, I had about 40 bucks worth of sideshow points so that made it a tad cheaper for me

 

[gunm]

I ordered both. Can't resist those lovely Sucker Punch ladies. But oh you Hot Toys and yer crazy prices! :shakes fist:

Hot Toys in combination with the distributor equally at fault.

$169.99 SSC

Other places have it cheaper, but their estimated shipping cost is higher to ship to me, so it rounds out to be about the same, SSC it is for me Plus the reward points help

Speaking of shipping cost from SSC, it's around $25 to ship Iron Man (Secret Project), yet around $35 to ship Spiderman Wassupwidat?

Yeah, I just don't see these SP figures being worth the price tag atm regardless of where I order from. I'll PO the pair but odds are I'll cancel them, and I'm saving my SSC points for something bigger

Wrt to shipping charges from SSC, I have no idea. they banged me for $15 for the Mark IV SP, but other items "qualify" for free shipping? I don't get it

It's about 150USD here. This is the average pricing of a HT product three years ago!!! It's their cheapest female figure so far.

In fact, I am surprised they were priced this low. On average, HT prices have remained relatively the same with only slight increased recently.

I think the high prices you guys in the states are experiencing have more to do with the fact that retailers now knows how popular HTare and can afford to charge more for them as opposed to a few years back.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

For UK customers Forbiddenplanet has Babydoll up at £139.99.

I've ordered both Amber and Babydoll, as acording to my calculations i'll save about £14, compared to SSC (Figure + Shipping + VAT + Fedex Charge) of £152

Forbidden Planet aren't fast as i recall, sometimes months later than others, but i just wanna save some cash right now

Cheaper female figures, I can name a few (well 3).... Saeko Nogami, Jill Valentine Battle suit, Sarah Connor. I'm surprise it's not lower to equal to Saeko Nogami's price.

$150 the average price of a figure 3 years ago?

Saeko Nogami and Sarah Connor is like 10 to 20 ringgit cheaper. That's less than 10usd difference. Point is, it is still a very low price for a HT figure.

I missed out one ... the cheapest HT female box figure... Black Widow, much greater than 10 USD difference

p.s. Sarah Connor @ PO is @ USD 10 difference than now (SP's prices)

 

[Eiko82]

For those in Europe, Cite des Nuages has them at 159.90 Euro per girl. That's 226 USD O___o

I think I might be better off preordering from another site. Anyone have a suggestion where I can preorder these without paying insane amounts for shipping to Belgium?

Black Widow is a bare bones release, Sarah Connor too. Even Saeko Nogami. Battle suit Jill too to a certain degree (they repeat a lot of the same weapons from the other RE figures). At least Sucker Punch figures have more complexity and accessories to them and it visually really impressive.

It we look at best bang for buck, Sucker Punch girls are really the most value buy for a HT female.

Of course the steal of the year if we really get down to it is Spiderman.
