Hot Toys - MMS539 - Infinty War - Star-Lord

Was hoping to see Mantis by now but that figure is likely doomed to disappear with all the other figures that never made the cut, mostly villains.

I will not give up on Mantis yet!

Mantis will be part of the main cast of at least one more movie, so I'm still holding out hope for her. If they don't massively change her costume for Vol. 3 they can probably use most of the prototype they showed off for her.

Thinking about getting IW Star-Lord and Endgame Rocket, however, maybe it will be better to wait for GOTG 3 releases instead with more or better accessories? What you guys think, I am not in a hurry.

You should also think about how much the price on figures will go up in 3 years. By then they may be $275 per figure. We also dont know whats going to happen with china/hong kong. If you buy the figures now, and 3 years from now a new improved version becomes available, you can always sell your old figures.

Things do not look good for HK.

What doesn't look good for Hong Kong?

No me either !!

But i agree they have some time to maximize sales if they release with or before GotG3 assuming the costume doesn?t change much.

In a nutshell, China has decided to ignore the agreement they made when Britain relinquished control in 1997, which guaranteed 50 years of autonomy to Hong Kong. So with China's regime now imposing more and more authoritarian measures upon HK under the guise of "national security", the lives of the people there are being irrevocably changed.

Good summary.

So basically UK should have kept HK

What should have happened is hong kong should have just been given its independence period. Now even if someone says you are making anti government statements you can be imprisoned. The UK has said they will allow amnesty for any hong kong nationals who still have their British credentials from 1997, which
could be up to 3 million people.

When hong kong was an economic powerhouse, china allowed them a certain degree of leeway, but now that's over.

Got this guy in this week. Figure is pretty cool.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Do you have the v2 as well... or just the v1 back there?

 

[xenom0rph]

Here's my vid review - try to provide some photos later on.

 

[Linx]

Just the V1. The V1 headsculpt is much better than this version. I like the V1 better overall to be honest.

 

[The Buffinator]

Justin's review is up. There's a comparison between this and the GoTG V2 figure. The jackets ARE slightly different, and IMO this one does seem to provide a bit more room to prevent bunching up in more severe poses.

Got an "Arriving Early" email for Starlord this afternoon... no specific date, just says "Now Sept-Oct 2020".

Justin says the 2nd batch is cheaper at Sideshow?

No, he said Toys Wonderland's 2nd batch is cheaper than Sideshow.
