Hot Toys SOLO Mudtrooper

[Asta]

Just paid the Mudtrooper invoice from KG Hobby.

The other Solos are also in.


They have spares of all of them listed, but the Mudtrooper price has been inflated by 1100 HKD (142 USD) !

 

[Wor-Gar]

No word on AE or TW getting their share?

And popcultcha ?

Ordered at AE also and nothing there. Just got the invoice for Leia+Wicket from them today.

I got my Mudtrooper invoice tonight.

Unfortunately I have maxed out my no transaction fee foreign purchase credit card (oops!)

No sign of deluxe Solo invoice or on the site.

I am a little worried that Mr KG is looking at his box of Krennics and thinking how much he can sell them for.

And popcultcha ?

Popcultcha told me their shipment would be in September.

I pray it doesn't go the way of Krennic.

The quietness of retailers on announcing incoming stock of this item is devastatingly suspenseful.

Timewalker appears to be shipping Leia and Wicket soon too, still nothing on the Mudtrooper. Seems like a lot of people still waiting on their orders...

Showing as out of stock at toys buying agent.

It may reappear but with additional cost.

All I can hear is the Jaws music on a loop, it's terrifying

They said they only had a few of the Deluxe left, so they must've sold out fast.

I ordered the regular, and haven't had the invoice yet either, but they posted they were doing them over the weekend.

And you're probably right about Krennic.

As soon as I'd decided to get this figure - and, reading back it's hard to believe I wasn't sure I wanted him at first - I planned to display him with the goggles and mask on.

It's such an iconic 'Third World War' look that's been evoked in so much science fiction It's also so fitting for the Star Wars universe which, for all its faster than light travel and artificial gravity, often suggests the world of tomorrow, or yesterday.

Since the arrival of the figure is getting closer I've looked at some video reviews to get an idea what to expect. Achieving the be-goggled and masked look without using the Han sculpt looks simpler than I imagined, since it has that special hairpiece for the helmet, and the goggles are non-translucent.

All you need is a bald, neckless sculpt, and likely some blue/white tack to use as filler to settle the hair in the correct place.

I think I have just the thing: Xensation's Stallone Dredd head, which has sat in a drawer since I swapped it for the VTS version.

This was the fastest photo I could find of it:

Though with mine I carved off the top of his head in order to push the Dredd helmet lower.

Both the Mudtrooper and regular Solo have now gone to 'Awaiting Shipment'.

"I want, what they want, and every other guy who came over here and spilled his guts and gave everything he had, wants! For our Empire to love us as much as we love it! That's what I want!"

From where? Everywhere?

KG hobby.

Awaiting shipment now seems to take a few days.

When its "shipped" takes a few more, like he orders a postage label and then sits on it.

Then it's onwards to the lottery that is "HK arrived at processing centre"

If KG really has ~30 available for purchase maybe HT really did make enough to fulfill all the preorders.

I don't think they have 30

Try putting more than 2 in your cart

error message we do not have enough stock to fulfil your order

I think they have 2

With TBA sold out I imagine they will go quick inflated price and all
