Hot Toys Royal Guard

These look great! Need two. Hope we get a discounted 2 pack.

Force pikes may be a bit short. Hopefully it’s just angle.

There are no 2 packs. Hopefully you get a small discount for buying a pair.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

PO is up. $205 each!

 

[Deathstalker]

Kinda sucks there is no two pack available...

 

[SithThundercracker]

I just think that those force pikes are way too short.

It IS the angle.

That above would be one sick display.

But where do you put Vader without losing the symmetry? Oooooooooo you OCD you.

Standing behind the chair?

Or sitting on his master's lap? Lot of good options when you think about it.

So. Does this mean SSC will charge us 20 each for shipping if we order two guards . They have never combined shipping for me before ...

Hide Darth Vader behind a chair?

Kneeling down, facing his master... nah, that's too.... well, you know.

Well Vader does like posing with chairs.......

Yes, if you want two, order from somewhere with free or combined shipping (Timewalker, Alterego, BBTS).

Yeah I'm curious about this as well. If I order two on the same order, am I going to get charged $40 for shipping? Because that's a joke.

 

[screamingmetal]

$205... Way too much as expected.
Sigh, I wanted two before, now I'll struggle to justify the one.

Did you really think the Guard would be well under the $200 mark?

HT missed an opportunity though -- two Guards for $325 would have sold well.

They will do a 2 Pk after everyone already has the single ordered. LOL Didn't they do that once already with a different set of troopers?

HT's own store has discount for buying two. SSC just didn't implement it on their end.

Can one buy direct from HT then?

205 is not bad at all.

If any figure was going to be under $200, this would have been it. No human head, simple design, big cloak and stick.

End of an era. The era of $160 to $190 figures - RIP. And the $130 to 160 era wasn't buried so long ago.

While the newest figs are for the most part a noticeable improvement over the $100-130 era (and a huge improvement over the $60-100 era) I could have seen Sideshow doing a decent job on this simple figure for $130.

205 is not bad at all.

In context, definitely. HT has held the line with not-much-above-$200 with figs like Leia and even Snowie. SSC not so much.
