Hot Toys Royal Guard

[ZedBelkon]

All that guard's robe needs is ironing. You dont even have to take it off the figure. Just test on a corner to make sure the iron isnt too hot.

No, ironing makes it worse. I already ironed it. The backing to the robe is, I believe, attached between the two layers. It only comes down an inch or so from the head and then stops. Ironing it just makes that horizontal line REALLY stand out.

I had a hot toys guard, and I ironed that. It was perfect. My advice to anyone with one of these is absolutely do not iron that part of the robe.

Man, that sucks!! I'm sorry to hear that.

My B001 bodies arrived so did a test fit of the boot and again popped right on no issue. I suggest these bodies as other brands may have differently sized balls.

These look great. Glad I only paid $400 for my HT pair. If I didn’t have them I would definitely pick 2 of these up. Congrats to those that were able to make their display dreams come true inexpensively.

Hot Toys on the left, third party on the right. There is a difference in tone, quality and wrinkles in the third party, but... I think I'm keeping it and selling my HT.

I tried ironing the robes a bit and they do look better. Also, I haven't solved the boot peg issue yet, but it will be fine since he's not going to be doing any extreme poses.

What about some closer to the style of Crimson Reign? Any interest?

Eventually. Too many current projects to finish at the moment. Once i have completed in progress stuff I will look at it

I am amazed over the price this one fetch these days, even after the release of the bootleg kit that is on par with the original figure.

It wasn't really on-par with the original figure though, and also the bootleg seems to have had a pretty limited run.

I can't believe Hot Toys didn't do a re-release for the 40th..Such an easy re-release that wouldve sold extremely well. I really want a couple more
