Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

I'm still waiting for my Will Turner and Cannibal Jack from AlterEgo comics.

:chew

Has anyone gotten them yet from a source that isn't located overseas?

I doubt it, Cannibal Jack only hit the oficial Hot Toys shop 'Toy Hunter' in HK last Tuesday, some independant traders will have their pre-orders that they picked up directly from the store up on eBay (they tend to ask premium prices and part a lot of stuff out for the early birds). Far East independant traders should be getting theirs now, but major US and European distributors will be waiting for the container ships to arrive for a while yet!

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

Could you post a pic with his jacket on? The shirt looks somewhat cheap and too big for Will.

I can assure you that in hand the shirt doesn't look cheap, it's a great bit of tailoring, it's oversized but it's meant to be.
Here are a few in the coat-

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

Thanks for the pictures Wookster, you've sold me on Will being acceptable. Is the base body neck really long or is the the way the collar of th shirt opens makes it look longer?

Thanks alot I think I'll leave the coat on anyway. With luck, I'll have my Will in the next three weeks.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

I guess the neck might be a tad long, I have to admit it hasn't jumped out at me. Since I got them both I was originally blown away by Cannibal Jack (I still am) but Will has grown on me more and more.
Hopefully the full review might be up this weekend or early next week.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

No one excited about the 3-5 day notice? I am, but for all the wrong reasons. My credit card is gonna get bounced and I dont have access to the website to pay it (crashed lap top). Maybe I'll call them today and have them update my card...

I am now that I've seen it, I get that stuff sent to my business email and I don't get too much there during the day so I don't check it much from work, just saw it, hopefully he's still on time after this notice unlike the Preds.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

if someone has will turner and a superman returns head, could you pop the kal-el head onto the turner body so i can see how it looks?

the turner body might look good for superman customs since it does not have the exposed neck joint.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

IF I keep Turner I'll see how off the skin color is to the body I have now or just get another True Type.. if they aren't sold out. Are they sold out?

That's how I feel about the figure. I'll be impressed with the small details, but the overall figure is already a few nits shy of being exciting, but I am excited to add to my POTC collection which is sorely lacking with just Will and Elizabeth, and Will adds some colors to the pallette where Jack and Elizabeth's attires are pretty similar in drab tones, but they're pirate costumes so that's to be expected.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

I got my Will yesterday and didn't even open the box....something about Mr. Turner's arrival is just more lackluster than I'm used to with POTC or HT arrivals in general...

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

So again I say....where is Barbossa?

Is HT focusing on getting these (Will, Jack, Davy) out before they move on?

When Jack and Davy ship, this thread is going to explode!

Could be, I think it was a month or 2 after HT's second wave of Jacks and the only wave of Elizabeth's went out before we got word of Cannibal Jack and Will, I remember it feeling like the line might die for a bit, but as Rocky 3 has proven with HT, it ain't over 'til it's over. With Davy and Jack shipping so close to SDCC, I wouldn't be surprised if HT held back for the show, or if SSC knew of some items and pressed them to have some stuff for their booth at SDCC. Since Sideshow always has an HT display, I'm sure they talk enough that people at Sideshow know what's in the HT pipeline to an extent, particularly since they're not competing on any licenses and collaborating heavily. Things like the Predator bust we're seeing now are cool but not the type of "Ta-da!" piece you'd save for a big con. Barbossa is too much of a challenge on all artistic levels for HT not to take it on. I think we'll see him. Perhaps they're trying to spread the must have guys around with the so-so to broaden the line and guarantee sales of some pieces.

I agree overall it will be nice to add him to the ole POTC collection.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

Something about Will was just lacking for me, so I had to cancel. I hated to do it, but, I need to be fully happy with it before shelling out that kind of $$$.

Don't get me wrong, though. Jack v2 looks great, and I really look forward to him!
