Hot Toys - VGM16 - Biohazard 4 HD: Ada Wong

[Kiva]

Id like them to take another shot at midnight Wesker. I have the figure so its not like i want i want a 2nd chance to get him. I just think some things could be improved. The outfit could do with being made out of a different material. And the jacket needs to be a lot heavier so it looks natural when he is in a stationary pose. Its great for mid-action poses but it looks sucky when he is stood still. His body could also do with updating as it makes him look weird shaped when he isnt wearing the jacket. Id of swapped him onto a ttm19 body id it wasnt for the whole neck situation.

I have both Leons, but it would be cool if they released a new version for those that missed out the first time.

That would be me... I missed Wesker midnight and Leon RPD, those are legends now.. and I don't even consider buying used figures, thats just not me. I never buy used stuff

I hope HT re release them, and RE6 should be announced soon

 

[lerath666]

any suggestions on what body to swap hers with if i prefer doll joints?

not rotting rubber for me. exposed joints all the way :yes

Man, I just don't see $200 there. Dress and headsculpt are the only things that feel "brand new". All the accessories could be said to have been modded off of other accessories.

This is an instance where a Star Wars figure is cheaper than a figure from another license. DX Luke - two figures and a weather vane for $300. Factor in the weather vane costing $30 and that leaves each Luke at $135. How do I get from $135 Luke to $200 Ada? How do I get from $165 Babydoll to $200 Ada? The list goes on.

If this were priced closer to $150-165, I'd be in. At $200 it's me waiting for Ebay.

I was gonna wait too actually, I pre ordered because a friend said she is gonna help me pay for it as a gift, lol at first I wasn't sure... $200.. I already have too many pre orders I can barely get all the money in time, I'm stuck in this pre order abyss and it keeps growing

 

[Kiva]

i dont see the appeal of pre-ordering outside of the feeling of OMG i must have it! and wanting to buy it then and there and pre-ordering is the closest you can get.

That and im going to scour ebay on its release morning on HK find the cheapest one posted and snap that son of a itch up. I want to be one of the first with it.

 

[Project_A]

Aren't you buying like three of them?

 

[Kiva]

Dont be daft. 2! But only 1 at first

 

[Project_A]

But.... but then you can make RE2 Ada, and RE6 Ada.

Well, you used to have to PO any of the HT figures you wanted so that you could secure one before they sold out. Back when they were in the $150 range with smaller runs, it paid to PO. Now with the price so high and seemingly larger runs (like with the Marvel stuff), you can easily afford to wait. Even stuff that used to be super-hot, like TDK, now seems to have a bit more supply than demand. Plus, you always have to look at what else is coming out, as certain figures will come out and people will drop other POs when it's time to pay for these things.

 

[Project_A]

Maybe once Ada is available and in peoples hands we'll see something for RE6, hopefully.

Ill save re 6 Ada for HT!

Thats the thing though i dont think pre ordering figures this day and age is a good way to go about collecting. Its so easy to pre order something months in advance of having to pay any money, but once things start coming out people cancel their orders. Its easier i find to keep an eye on a release date, make sure you have enough money for when its out and buy it then and there. And not have the worry of impending release dates and have to fund-check all the time

 

[Project_A]

Why do you hate preordering Kiva?

 

[Science Friction]

No! Not once Ada's in hand will I be satisfied by finally seeing RE6 figures. Next week I want a Leon 2.0 review, the following Friday a RE4 Wesker, and then every Friday following more RE figures. Muahahaha. Oh, and Solid Snake would be nice.

You really think well see re6 figures? At this point I dunno ill be glad if they got the license but the game got mixed reviews hot toys listens to **** like that.

This is the 25th anniversary year of Resi isn't it?
Im surprised the only anniversary figure they made was Ada.

If im wrong and its next year, then i totally see them doing Resi6 and classic variants of the characters aswell. I just hope they can do two VGM series at the same time!!

 

[Science Friction]

I do not see Nemesis mentioned in your list

He was in my first list, he's part of the etc. Oh man, a Hot Toys Nemesis would dominate.

lol.. more like 16 year anniversary.

RE4 still has plenty of material to make figures from before we move on don't you guys think? A Louis would be great. He was awesome. Also a few more enemies would be nice. I think a regenerator or iron maiden could be awesome. Of course we need a Leon 2.0

And let's not forget the con exclusive 1/6 Resident Evil 4 Merchant complete with voice sound capabilities. Just imagine how great it would be!

 

[ZombieRepublican]

wow i never even thought of the merchant. easyly the best Resi character XD.

I really am dying for that Resi4 Leon 2.0 though

I love the merchant he was one of the best things about 4 and my friends and I still quote him to this day. His design is interesting enough to more than warrant a figure I think. Plus he would basically come with all the weapons that Leon doesn't come with.
