Super Freak
Though the twisted piece does certainly look weird for some standing poses. Almost like a zombie walk.
Thanks for the discussion guys. I don't do this too often but i want to give some insights: It's not easy...international collecting is so different than being in the US and enjoiying retail prices of Sideshow. I mean: I can't even order from SSC anymore, it always says "its restricted to ship..."...so they artificially limit this.
550 with EMS for the IM3 is crazy, thats for sure (its like turning the brain off when you pay that invoice....). But the upprice if I'd buy it from sideshow (if I could...) would me a mere 100 usds. And that alone is fine for me to get it early. My youtube channel is still (and will be) only a side hobby, i got some adword money back but its like nothing compared to the uprice. So i concentrate on specific pieces I want to show (mainly Iron Man, Predatpr and Terminator). I'd love to present you the other lines like Metal Gear solid, but it does just not fit the budget.
You know i'm very neutral and won't get into harming positions, so these are just my 2 cents on my background. Thanks for every positive comment and feedback on my video production.
So here's the video review on the Mark III. I never owned the earlier ones, so for anybody seeking a comparison...not here and i'm sure other
When I first started this hobby the Aussie dollar was worth more then the USD. Now it's in the 0.70s. And it's just going lower, and all future preorders are significantly higher the before. Much more noticable when purchasing PFs and other statues.
i thought in the film he just had the 1 missile in the forearm that he blew the tank up with.
I love the beefy look of this
It oughta look great in museum poses. It certainly can't do much else.

It can do at least two poses!
Museum and landing/ground punch.

Hey bud. Just to clear up something in case people are wondering..
The delivery restrictions are not artificial limiting. They are part of the distrubution and licensing deal. Hot toys has one with Marvel. And sideshow with hot toys. A licensing agreement isn't a right to sell a figure world wide. It's for a specific region or regions. And each retailer or distrubution point in that sales network has a limit on where they can sell, and how many. For each figure. It's based on many factors including what other retailers offer the same figure in an area and how many they have allotted. When the need out paces all local availble sources them other authorized (this only counts for authorized dealers, not joe flipper or eBay guy) dealers are then allotted a set amount to sell to those areas.
Sideshow has NO control over this. Zero. It may suck for some looking to buy, but this is all international trade and it's government regulated, like it or not. On top of that each dealer or disturbutor has a contract that allows them priority in the region, as I explained.
Smaller dealers don't often honor this agreement and in the past hot toys has been pretty forgiving. But they have been made aware of dealers doing export sales that shouldn't and have begun warning them. If they keep it up hot toys will pull their deals and they won't be authorized sellers. And that type of news travels. It could put a company out (example of one doing this is Big in Japan)
So the restrictions are not artificial supply controls or some game as I see it often described. I've said it a hundred times...licensing is a complicated thing. Add in international sales and hot production is much much more complex then people seem to know.
