Other companies are putting out great looking figures, with tons on accessories for same or similar price point. I've stopped feeding the beast that is Hot Toys and moved on to the 3rd party and other companies. There are some amazing figures out there once you take off the Hot Toys blinders.
They are HT slaves because they are SW slaves, you don't have to accept something that is subpar just because it's the only figure you think you will get, it's that mentality that makes people a HT slave. When you just take it you support their belief that fans will accept and pay for anything just because it has the SW name on it. If you like it that's great, but for anyone here complaining about prices, and the single joint elbow and you still buy it, you are just contributing to the problem.Yes that's awesome and good advice, but what third-party co. is also putting out Bo here?
People are not buying this because they are so many HT slaves, but because this is the only Bo we got? And are likely to get.
There’s also another perspective: I just don’t value a double-jointed elbow as much as you do. That doesn’t make the figure “crap”, it just means it meets my expectations while it doesn’t meet yours. It certainly doesn’t make me a slave to anyone.They are HT slaves because they are SW slaves, you don't have to accept something that is subpar just because it's the only figure you think you will get, it's that mentality that makes people a HT slave.

I get it you want the SW figures I was that way too until recently when I got tired of supporting the crap HT has been doing. Raising prices, doing bare minimum, and taking away something that should be standard like a double-jointed elbow. So you have two choices stop supporting them, or just admit you'll accept whatever crap they will put out. If you choose the latter then no one has anyone to blame but themselves for how HT has been acting recently.
You may not value it, but HT is making you pay for it like it's there. If you are cool paying for something that you aren't getting good for you.There’s also another perspective: I just don’t value a double-jointed elbow as much as you do.

i usually keep things positive but you’re definitely right.Single jointed knees/elbows on such a pivotal character is absolute bull$#!7 When the suit fully covers the joints, at these prices theres no excuse. wtf are we paying for ?! They keep removing features that should be standard.
Bo Katan is heavily combat focused and they had an eternity to work on it. This is not ok. Theres no justification for this beyond cost cutting. This is a detriment to the functionality of the product. I could see them trying to make this standard across the board now. Koska Reeves better not have this same body.
They keep cheaping out, a little here, a little there, raise the price. These are supposed to be premium high end collectibles. Articulation matters. For what they charge, we shouldn't have to do a body swap. If its even possible to remove the costume without destroying it. We shouldn't have to pay for a replacement body.
I’m getting the figure and features I wanted, so I’m more than fine with it. She’s going to look fantastic on my shelf. Good luck with your crusade, though.You may not value it, but HT is making you pay for it like it's there. If you are cool paying for something that you aren't getting good for you.
LOL no crusade. Just pointing out how HT is slacking off and making people pay more for it. Enjoy your single jointed figure.I’m getting the figure and features I wanted, so I’m more than fine with it. She’s going to look fantastic on my shelf. Good luck with your crusade, though.
I will! Enjoy…not having it?LOL no crusade. Just pointing out how HT is slacking off and making people pay more for it. Enjoy your single jointed figure.
For me the single jointed elbows aren’t a deal breaker but are a bit of a bummer.

I’ve gotten the vibe that they’re new target audience is new casual collectors who don’t know much about the hobby, so they make these things sound way fancier than they are.The way Sideshow try to describe these figure is always so pretentious
Think we’ll get an S3 version with the longer hair? Armor looks the same in the trailer.
