Is Hot Toys going to release a new run of Truetypes?

[My Lord]

Just some heads up on the "Store-Rooms" hand /w pegs. I have quite a few of them, the wrist pegs and hands are bootlegs and may fit extremely loose on the newer release HT bodies.

There seem to be some older HT bodies that the pegs fit ok, but still a bit loose. You will more than likely need to wrap the pegs with something when placing in the socket so it fits snug.

Some teflon tape would work.

Yep, that'll work. Cling wrap/Suran wrap is perfect too.

Keep your eyes peeled guys, my supplier has just told me that the latest Truetype special edition will be On hand in a week or so. Some have already popped up, (parts at least!) on ebay.

cant hardly wait
will sideshow sell them?

 

[creecher]

$50. Give the doll some clothes for god's sake.

 

[lerath666]

way too much. I really hate how we're getting our wallets raped on truetypes.

Buying parted out blanks has always worked for me. Storerooms sells all the parts you'd need (don't need a long neck post, another set of hands, and a generic head sculpt) and without that blister packaging hiking shipping costs up it works out pretty nicely. Way under 50 bucks.

What is the release date?

 

[casper]

what's the different between the new one and the previous version of truetype?

Hopefully they won't be as fragile.

Can I inquire where you got that great deal?

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Sure. studiosunny on eBay. Still one there I think. Just search hot toys true type, making sure you put a space inbetween true and type.

 

[My Lord]

Crap, GSTG is now sold out of the Special Ed. You snooze, you loose.

It's weird that not many etailers had this up for pre-order, oh well.

Thanks, I order stuff from them every now and then. I thought you meant the price you paid including shipping. That shipping from Asia is a killer.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Ah, yes, the shipping is a bummer. But good combined shipping and was easily the best price for me.

It does beat buying the parted out ones and you did at least get the new True Types (they seem hard to get these days).
