1/6 Hot Toys Speculation Thread - Avengers 4

[princeraph]

Infinity war came out in the last week of April, when was the first infinity war hot toy figure announced?

Since endgame is also coming out in the last week of April this year, just seeing if we could identify a similar pattern.

It does feel like the calm before the storm...just hope HT throws some nice surprises our way once **** gets real....*cough* Nebula *cough*

The 31st is the supposed street date for Endgame merch. I would expect a figure or 2 then to go up for order.

hot toys infinity war figures were announced starting early March if I remember correctly. I can understand the long wait for the Endgame figures announcement, though not having any final releases for the previous pre-order figures is most likely due to waiting on the shipments to arrive Stateside at Sideshow from China to minimize the time gap between HK and US. There was a similar extended wait time last year (though not this long) and it may have something to do with the downtime during the Chinese new year.

POPs are dropping, cmon HOT TOYS

New armor

I will never understand why POPs are so popular. I get that they're the modern version of Beanie Babies but they're just so hideous. If you want a collectable of a certain character why would you go for one that looks like it was born in a nuclear waste dump?

It’s a low cost of entry to a hobby, and there’s a Pop for just about anyone’s interests. Also helps that you can display them in or out of the box depending on your preference.
I don’t think it’s about accuracy so much as it is just wanting something tangible to portray a favorite character/athlete/etc.

They are just annoying garbage to me. I hate when I see those crap in my timeline when I am expecting Hot Toys versions instead.

I used to collect pops, had some very rare ones worth quite a bit. Eventually the market became over saturated and flippers we’re everywhere making it no longer fun to hunt the certain exclusives. I sold them all and bought Hot Toys with them. Best decision ever!

Yea I'm still in it for certain characters, I generally stay away from new movies because that's just a slippery slope that you'll never catch up to so mostly just nostalgic ones. But yea I agree about the flippers, although its hard to complain about selling a $15 dollar Pop figure and turning it into a couple of HT figures

Right?? I sold 2 of them and they paid for my Diecast mark VI.
The pops I’ll always keep is my SDCC Tony Stark, sdcc blue crystal heinsenberg. My 2 favs.

They're cute, inexpensive, and IMO well-made for what they are. U can have on desk etc. I've got a few - unboxed and hanging around. Like my Hasbro Hulkbuster and Thanos collectible cup.

Was just sorry to see the overload of the things - entire walls at stores - and all the imitators. Everybody had to get into the act of big-eyed miniature plastic character lumps. Turned something fun and cute into - I dunno, a plastic overload. I kinda feel bad for folks who have gone all in, 'coz of the over-saturation.

[bmendez]

Rocket is an instant PO. And Nebula, of course!

Gotta have me that Ronin figure, which should be coming with two head sculpts (masked and unmasked), as well as that very Gundam-esque War Machine.

Totally agree. I have a handful. (3 of which are Nathan Drake from the Uncharted game series) The likes of Darth Vader was also one of those "character purchases" just as I own Darth Tater. But... I cannot see the appeal in mass collecting them and displaying them by the dozen or even hundreds...

 

[crazygmpoker]

How's that any different from displaying dozens of Hot Toys figures? People really getting bent out of shape at what other people collect?

I have never seen a large Pop collection that looks good. They all look like a chronic hoarder lives there.

Large Hot Toys collections on the other hand, or even small ones for that matter, look classy af.

Nerd on nerd discrimination...it's a hate crime honestly.

I just think its funny like "hey you're not collecting the right kind of toys". I'm just going to leave it as "to each their own" and thats that.
