1/6 Hot Toys - MMS357 - Avengers: AoU - Scarlet Witch (New Avengers Ver.) Figure

[Bri]

Ooh, I really like the hair on this one. Come on, CW SW.

 

[Motuxmen]

It shouldn't be to much longer for the CW version.

 

[Starfleet Captain]

It should be much further along than Spider-Man but behind Crossbone. At least Crossbone didn't have the "pending approval" sign when displayed...Still no sign of Spider-Man...

 

[Motuxmen]

You can't judge based on that stuff. There's a lot more involved then that.

Spider-Man could be completely ready and in production. Or crossbones could be on hold for a number of non approval reasons.

any Sideshow waitlist conversions?

Nope, it's been a month for me. If it doesn't get converted by the time the CW version goes up for preorder, I'll just get the CW version instead.

I've kept my waitlist order on Sideshow despite ordering on that Belgian site. I figure if even if it converts then I won't have any trouble selling it on. I've paid a €40 deposit but I find it off that they're the only external retailers offering it. How have they managed to secure stock? Are they grey importers?

Yep, it's not official. Only hot toys official stores (the pop up, secret base, toy sapiens) and sideshow got them officially.

Well hopefully they've secured stock and they're not just offering it with a 'hope for the best' attitude.

With the CW Scarlet Witch now properly revealed, hopefully we'll get a few cancellations and waitlist conversions...

Saw the new CW version, I like this Avengers version better, even though most people will probably like CW version better since her jacket flows more like a cape on that one. Me, I'll take this one.

I'm glad I was able to secure a pre-order for this one too, the only thing about the CW version I even remotely like is that the jacket kinda resembles a cape... Otherwise it just looks like shes some chick that likes red, wearing a pregnancy corset. Seems like there was almost no creativity put into her CW outfit at all. If I couldn't get the NA version, i'd probably just wait until the next version after CW.

that is exactly what I am hoping happens

 

[Chiefrocka]

I probably said this before, but after civil war I can say Im a big enough fan of the character to get both versions. With the exception of iron man, I usually have one representation of a character. Can't wait til this drops

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Anybody getting all three? I don't believe we've gotten a bad SW figure yet but I only plan on getting the first version.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

 

[SilverStar17]

I'm going to end up having all three.

 

[wamphyri13]

These things are like Pokemon or STDs, gotta catch 'em all. I'm getting all three.

"Pregnancy corset"?

I wasn't a fan of the costume initially but I think it's pretty unfair to the costume department to say there was no creativity put into her CW outfit, especially after reading about the process in the CW art book. (I'm slightly defensive though because I want to work in the wardrobe/costume dept and we always get ***** on, hah.)

-raises hand- I'm getting all three! And I'm happy with all three. There are some minor things I'm not happy about with the CW proto, but they don't overall effect my opinion of the figure. They're issues that you have to take into consideration when the outfit is being scaled down to this size, especially her leggings - they can't look perfectly smooth like they do in the film.

I think if you are planning on collecting entire lines of one character (I have all Thors for instance), because she is a late character to the MCU, Scarlet Witch is in a fairly unique situation where multiple figures will be released of her, and all of them should be pretty good.. She didn't start until Age of Ultron, and to me there is a decent leap in figure detail and sculpt accuracy between both Avenger movies.

To me the civilian clothed version of her is by far the weakest entry of her so far.. That's not too bad of a place to be. I'm still undecided whether to stick with just the New Avenger or pick up all 3, but she is one character I have the bug to collect multiple of.

Yeah it is a good place to be, deciding to collect all of SW. Tbh I've always loved Hot Toys but I could never justify the money for anyone else in the past few years, but I loved the twins so much that they were the catalyst for me to get into the hobby. So I don't think I'll ever be truly disappointed on the SW front

So, in the video it showed her with a crotch stand, did they switch stands from the proto-type and now will be have the "crotch" stand instead of the waist grabber stand?
