Hot Toys Wonder Woman (WB 100)

Looks damn good there. I would have picked this up had it not been limited since I don’t have a Wonder Woman.

You might as well wait for the InArt and pay a couple hundred more ($600?) for a superior sculpt and rooted hair.

I mean maybe but the price will be more and it could be a few years down the line. Plus I like InArt, but they’ve only released one figure. I’d like them to be a bit more proven before throwing a lot of money at them.

What kind of expression is that? Looks like she's waiting for someone to buy her a drink at the bar.

I went ahead and ordered at TW. I've never actually been let down by them, so its worth a shot.

When did you put in your order? It keeps saying out of stock there for me the past few days.

I tried TW Friday as soon as I got waitlisted on Sideshow and it was also "sort of" sold out there. By "sort of" I mean the product page actually lets you add to cart but when you view cart or try to check out it tells you zero available and prevents checkout. I tried a few other times this past weekend with same result ... "No soup for you!" but last night right after seeing Kero's post I tried it again and it allowed the purchase. A few minutes after I bought it, I tried again out of curiosity and it was back to zero units so, might be worthwhile to keep it in your TW cart try checking out every few days, who knows if it will happen again but it obviously happened once last night, so... good luck.

That's the first time ive ever heard of TW not taking orders on stock they don't have.

 

[Jcage89]

Well, I have few orders from them that arrived Okay but I figure WCS I get money back and am in same position as I was on Sideshow waitlist. I have the OG BVS MMS359 and actually like that one a lot so if I don't end up getting this at retail I'm fine.

On Saturday. Looks like you can still order.

Do you guys/gals ever get tired of “waiting for InArt”? I am still waiting on my Joker 2-pack and so all of this “wait for InArt” seems silly to me at this point.

Not really, I wait for Hot Toys all the time. Hell in this economy, I loveeeee waiting

Well hopefully it’s worth the wait for you whenever you do finally get your Joker. Might be better to order from somewhere that gets it earlier on your next order though, so that you’re not stuck waiting so long while the rest of us already have ours.

As for “waiting on InArt,” it’s really no different than waiting on Hot Toys to reveal a teased figure. A lot of us are “waiting on Hot Toys” to show us their John Wick Chapter 4 figures, while others are still “waiting on Hot Toys” to reveal their Homecoming Vulture or any other number of teases that Hot Toys has shown us but never followed through on. This whole hobby is about waiting on X company to hopefully show a product that we want to buy and isn’t exclusive to InArt. We just hear that phrase a lot now since a lot of us already have our taste of an InArt figure. Knowing what they’re potentially working on for future products makes some of us less excited for the same character being produced by another company and are happy to “wait on InArt”

Holy, it costs 68,000 yen in Japan. Thats close to 500 US dollars...

That's an impressive feat by Hot Toys - making you think someone with her looks has ever had to wait for that to happen.

Well since I missed out on the drop, and the armor was what I was after, decided to convert my own. So I'm repainting the 84 armor to look darker and more distressed, somewhere between the original WW movie, and BvS. In the WW it has an almost charred blackened red, and in BvS/JL a more merlot aluminum red finish. I expect I'll end up somewhere in between. I realize the HT JL armor mostly fits the bill already, and I have a figure set up with it on the 84 body. But it's a bit too dull in it's finish, and not as well proportioned as the 84/100 armor. I'll be adding the skirt from it to the new armor as well.

Okay, all finished up. So here's my own repaint job of WW84's armor since the 100WW slipped my grasp. Actually, since the original film color scheme armor was my only reason to get the 100, this actually saved me a chunk of change. So to match HT's and get a more accurate original film scheme WW figure, I took took my spare 84 body and armor and repainted the reds with sms clear red and black, antiqued the gold with flat black enamel and flat clear finish, replaced the glitter blue skirt with an existing WWJL skirt, and replaced the chunky silver gauntlets with more slim accurately colored BvS gauntlets. Still need to source the more accurate harness and weapons from the solo film. But otherwise, I'm well f**king happy with this repaint. In fact, with the more accurately toned skirt and narrow gauntlets, I feel like this is even more accurate than HT's attempt with their repaint.

 

[ilovetoys]

Wow, wish I could repaint like that!

Absolutely incredible work! You really nailed it. Unfortunately the other 99% of us without that level of talent have to fork out the money. But yours is definitely top tier.

For my next mod, I’m gonna tone down those oddly defined gold nipples and highlights on the the 84 armor. I get why they’re there, and they are accurate, but HT’s production process made them look too unnatural and goofy.
