Hot Toys -MMS167 - Captain America: The First Avenger: Red Skull Figure

[IXI Nick IXI]

so landa was 149.99 with one head and a cheaper film license and actor license but people think this one is over priced?? i dont get it...seems on par with everything else of the last 2 years

Do you think the price hike is because of the likeness rights? Could be the reason the Capt figure is cheaper and no helmetless head.

People can't claim likeness rights for everything, there have been tons and tons of Hot Toys with famous actor HS that weren't very high priced

absolutely...people want more but dont want to pay for it...

cap was 169.99 with one head which was not a full reveal head...

this guy has 2 full reveal sculpts and is only 30 more

just imagine what the sculpts alone will sell for later lol

T1000 came with two outifts, Two heads, more hands, two guns and was cheaper, so in that respect this is too little for the price. T1 Arnie came with two reveal heads and was cheaper

I still love this figure, but it's true, & aftermarket pricing should mean nothing really.

Well you can make an easy matrix agent bash

I guess it costs about what I thought it would, being that it comes with two heads with really good likenesses.

I've had to become super selective with my collecting. I've actually liked that they are doing only one Star Wars release a year. Right now my focus is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, although I've passed on the gantry and new Mark II. Tron is also a priority for me. I've been tempted by Sucker Punch and Batman stuff but have had to draw the line somewhere.

On SS site you get free shipping & handling, so $199.99 isn't to bad of a deal. A must preorder for me.

I am far from loving the prices. Especially since I am a completest.

But we have to keep in mind how expensive everything has gotten. Comparing 2012 prices to 2007-2010 prices isn't realistic. Oil prices are obscene. Plastic is made with oil. And I am sure part of this is HT wanting to make more money. But this hoppy isn't meant for everyone. I'd love a BMW. But I can afford a Hyundai. So thats what I drive.

I remember paying $7 for each of the first 10 series of Marvel Legends. Now they are more than double that.

It sucks, but as long as I am willing to eat hot dogs everyday I'm getting every Marvel and DC figure I can.

Thats just my opinion.

So all you'd need to display both versions is another pair of trousers and boots.

One with the grey uniform and HS and one with just the trousers, boots, Coat & other HS.

Think that'll work?

Thanks for the correction. I forgot about that.

Ordered. Free shipping is nice and Flexpay makes it an easy expense.

Moot point. Both sides are working on assumptions. Unless someone here directly dealt with the licensing agreement, none of us really know how much an actor charges for their likeness rights.

Ordered. I do feel it is a lot of cash for a figure, but I also don't feel that I need every HT's release that comes out. So splurging on the ones I do really want is what I will do. This is a high-end collectible after all. Look at the quality of sculpts we are getting last year and what has been shown for 2012, just amazing. This type of technology and artistry HT's is using can't be cheap. Also, since when was being selective a bad thing? It will all work itself out with either edition cuts or retail price drops if items continue to not sell out. For me, I will continue to buy what I like and pass on what I can do without. With my luck passing on this for thinking it may be priced $30 too much will cost me $130 in the after market.

I got my landa brand new for 130 and still think it was one of hot toys best the head sculpt is amazing on that figure.

This figure will photograph beautifully! A red head too.

Also, since when was being selective a bad thing?

Can't say there is anything on my shelves that's an impulse buy or regrets.

 

[Spanbauer]

To be fair, Cap didn't come with a 2nd head, which is more expensive to produce than a 2nd gun.

True, but Skull doesn't come with a beautiful metallic shield. So I'd call it a draw in that regard.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Feel like watching the film again now

This looks like a figure with little to go wrong in a QC sense... Thoughts?

I find it strange he doesn't come with the gun he used in the final fight. It just seems like something fairly major to not include and Hot Toys is usually pretty decent at making sure to get all the essential accessories. You would think if they were smart enough to include the rose box that T-800 carried the shotgun in, then they would include the actual gun Red Skull used in half the final fight.

Saving for version 2.0

That might make sense if he came with the outfit he wore in the final fight
