Depends if you want to wait until 2024 to get your Ock from HT too.
They have, but that's probably dictated by Toys Era. At OSK The Ock increased by $30 (from $205 to $235), whereas The Fiend with Glider increased by $37 (from $228 to $265). They are $240 and $250 (respectively) at GianToy. $250 (with free shipping & no taxes) is still a great deal for GG on his glider. I think it would be silly to pass on that a 2nd time in hopes that HT can surpass it.2nd chance on this at OSK and GianToy.
Not sure if they jacked the price since the first release.
Thanks for breaking it down. Prefer HT over any 3rd party, but that Goblin is looking great.They have, but that's probably dictated by Toys Era.

The Hot Toys Doc Ock (and Green Goblin) will undoubtedly be much better than the 3rd party figures. But that's the risk one takes. When these were solicited no one knew that these versions of these villains were going to be coming back. Not to mention, even if prototypes show up at conventions there's no guarantee HT is going to produce. Although in this case I think the chances are pretty high. I also won't be surprised if Doc Ock clocks in at around $350+ and Goblin w/glider is $400+. I just look at the 3rd party figures as placeholders for the next couple of years until the upgrades arrive. After which I'll either store, sell cheap, or give away.
I say check out the new Spider-Mans and their tentacle bases.I'm curious how HT will approach making Doc Ock's tentacles. While the TE design is ingeniously simple and no doubt helped keep costs down, it does take some work to smooth out/align the individual segments so they look good. HT will no doubt try to outdo TE's tentacle design, but it will end up costing more as a result. If they don't look significantly better than TE's, I could see some people just picking up the loose HT sculpt rather than buying the full blown figure.
I want glowing pumpkin bombs too.I think Hot Toys would definitely add electronics to the GG's glider to jack the price, I'm not sure if Doc Ock has some visible electronic lighting but I wouldn't put it past them to add that to him as well.
Good point - I never considered getting the Integrated Suit with that $140 base, so I didn't realize the included tentacles articulated. Those HT tentacles do look smoother in the promo pics (& on the one on that exhibition tour) than the TE ones, but design wise they seem quite similar - i.e., I'm not sure replicating/maintaining that smoother look at home will be quite so simple.I say check out the new Spider-Mans and their tentacle bases.
Not dictated by Toys Era, its the currency rate difference over time plus shipping cost increases, we received 5 price increase notice from courier just in November.. it's not easy to estimate shipping cost nowadays..They have, but that's probably dictated by Toys Era.

In terms of their history in the comics yes, but I would argue that Vulture was on par with them as far as movie villains go, especially in terms of his origin (how it tied to the original Avengers film) and his actual design.Doc Ock and Goblin are better villains than Vulture and Rhino ever were, they will make those two for sure.
Wow. Are you using anything else to support the Spidey figure? I’m guessing no lol.I didnt have any issues posing.
