1/6 NEXT Hot Toys STAR WARS Figure...?

[Angelo2113]

Watch Man of Hot Collectibles stream today and he said the next releases in order are Professor Hulk, Iron Patriot, Rex, TCW Ahsoka, TCW Anakin, and Death Watch Mandalorian.

With Anakin releasing, they'll put the preview up/order for General Kenobi.

We'll see but could be an expensive few months, especially with that price tag for Iron Patriot.

I'm excited to see these being released close to one another. I have to start making room on my shelf.

Pretty much, except not every toy company in the history of toy making has set themselves up for failure the way HT seemingly has.

?

Their expansion of physical stores, highest quality figures, backlog of figures 2 years ahead for some business certainty, plenty of future and past source material to draw from. Collectors are dedicated and will wait for collectibles. Marvel/DC/SW has lasted this long and they won't be going anywhere. If you want the best figures, Hot Toys is where it is at. High quality comes at a cost - time and money.

You must not have been around when the standard wait for a HT figure was 9-12 months tops. You could make the argument that quality was better back then too, although their paint apps have improved somewhat.

I have been collecting since TFA Cap. I got rid of him cause of how bad he looks compared to today's figures.

Covid has been a big hurdle for businesses and production for these can't be work at home. Also, shipping is the big hurdle right now in HK release to U.S. in hand. Not sure of other countries.

Anakin with STAP set too ?

Safe to say yes, I don't think they'd release the single release and have collectors wait for the STAP version.

We'll see if it comes true though, he said Hulk this week, so we'll see how tonight/tomorrow morning goes.

Covid certainly hasn't helped but can't blame everything on that. HT started slipping before the lockdowns.

Also I have the Endgame Cap and it has a lot of problems. Laughably, some folks are still waiting to get it in.

MOHC has been right about most things lately so I’m definitely hopeful, I think Ahsoka will be longer than he said in the stream. He’s been doubling down on Rex being soon on his discord too, interesting that Aries said Rex could be two weeks from now, so fingers crossed.

Given the 1/4 ROTJ Darth Vader, would anyone else want a 1/4 ROTJ Luke figure?? (Of course, the head sculpt would NEED to be close to, if not, perfect.)

Not too fussed about Luke but considering Howard's favourite figure they've done is Anakin, I'd love to see a 1/4th Ani (Dark + Light headsculpt)

Gonna need to get Bo to complete that CW display my dude!

I will never understand paying off figures months and months in advance (unless you have a payment plan, but even then....).

Jango
The Armorer

Out of your mind, don't have to worry about it. If you've got the cash and it's not gonna put you into any kind of debt I see no issue with it!

 

[jkno]

That's fair enough. I guess with The Mandalorian you can definitely have a hope of certain Imperial troops making an appearance. I'm sure we'll see some Snow/Sand Troopers soon enough!

As long as they are OT type troopers I'm in. But most likely we'll see RO/Mando Sandies, and not sure how the Snowtroopers in Mando will look.

Do not forget the long previewed 1/4 Stormtrooper

You rather have $250 tied up for 12-18+ months doing nothing when you could put it into anything and earn a little something off it?

Handing money away for a product one year out is just dumb imo.

Fair enough mate that's your prerogative. I have enough disposable income to just pay it off and not worry about it which suits me fine.

With the recent delays (and finding new sites) I've taken to putting deposits down, since the announce to release window is just so much bigger now.

I've paid full in advance for a few collectibles as well. This way don't have to bother thinking about saving the money for those items anymore, they are paid up and will arrive to my home when released.
