Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Jack Sparrow DX06 Spec + Pics

[MaulFan]

I say it's a game, they try to see how people react to them doing something out of the norm, if it goes bad (Dutch, Jack), they say woops, licensing, pull all the pics, make it look better and blame falls on the licensor lol

Haha! Quite possible.
It's there 'indirect' way of surveying what the popular consensus is and building on that knowledge.

That is very interesting that Hot Toys apparently pays attention to this forum (no wonder Indy has dropped off the radar entirely)

Saying that, I loved the smiling head sculpt that showed off the golden teeth. I'm hoping they don't alter it too much.

Wait, so people are saying (or were saying, rather) that they disliked the smiling sculpt?
I can't see how anyone could think that was less than mind-blowing.

I agree, that's what i said a few posts up, but some people apparently had a problem with the smiling head

What's the excuse with Indy?

I think it's cool and for a DX, HT better include a 2nd head sculpt.

It's well made, but with only 2 faces to use, it's not the most Jack face. Something closer to the photo HT put up in its place at Toy Hunters would be more appropriate.

No one but the collectors care about doing him right

Just PO'd from VP and will cancel from BBTS. Can't believe I'm spending this much for a figure. Hope it will be worth it while I get it in hand.

Clearly.

that's what I said when spending $300 on my Superman Returns Set so now the price for DX Jack doesn't seem so bad

No kidding... and its probably the last HT figure I'll ever get.

just p.o this from sideshow got $28 bucks off will be my dx figure from hot toys

With Bruce lee Ex and IM Mark VI Ex for about $220 each and people are already paying higher price on them, it justifies me getting Sparrow. Makes me think that HT Ghost Rider is a deal with that bike.

I just preordered from Toys2

This will be my first DX.

I also preordered with paypal because I have the cash now and I didn't want to come up short in a few months. I just wanted to avoid having it charge my cc and not having the money. It's my little safety/insurance plan.

I thought about not getting this but the qulity is through the roof and I feel this will be a very expensive in demand figure in the near future and I'll never be able to afford aftermarket prices.

Looks freaking fanstic!

I dig the feeling of taking delivery of a figure that was paid for long ago. I can almost trick my brain into thinking I got it for free.

 

[cplhicks]

One of my greatest fear is paying intrest on a cc.

I've had my cc for 7 years now and I've never paid intrest once.

I usually preorder late to make sure I can afford it but this time I really wanted to make sure I got this so I went the paypal route.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

what was the blur out on dutch? I wasn't collecting yet when that figure was first released...

 

[creecher]

It's happened too many times for Hot Toys to keep repeating this oversight. They must do it to generate collector frenzy.
