War machine bust or 5 HT figures?

[cookiemonster69]

ok so im in a dilemma whether to go ahead and get the war machine 1:1 bust or collect the next 5 HT figures i have on pre order.decisions ppl,can you'll please help me out!!

5 HT figures < 1 1:1 scale bust, almost every time. Unless you're talking about Sucker Punch/Avatar figures vs. Batman bust or something like that.

Personally, In the long run you'll like a 1:1 bust better....

 

[karamazov80]

Wait. . .what kind of bust are we talking about here?

 

[azurepred]

depends what your more fond of, prop replicas, or the poseable dollies. The 5 HT will be pretty cool for awhile, but if your looking for something that will defn stand out, get WM. Everytime I see collections full of HT, it just looks cluttered and meh to me. It's all preference though, but most ppl on this board are figure collectors, so they will tell you get the figures, I mean dollies .

you have your arrow the wrong way?

The 1:1 bust will always be the WOW factor and have more presence in a room compared to 1/6 figures.

In this case, the War Machine is pure badass too.

Are you. . .sure?

Are you. . .sure?

idk, it sounded like you meant to say figures over the bust? Even though I hate open ES pieces, the WM is one of the best busts I've ever seen SS do.

I dont collect busts so it would be a no brainer for me.

Let me help you make up your mind!

and some unedited ones that i just took for you!

controller for size reference:

Its worth every cent trust me, I mean the mini gun alone is amazing,its almost the size of my whole arm, hope i persuaded you to make the right choice

 

[gypsycatcha]

Im probably a little biased since iv sold all my figures and collect busts!
what I can tell you is that iv owned 2 sideshow iron man busts and they have both been amazing and look very very good.
This one to me looks even better than the 2 I had and I can definitely say you will be blown away once you have this displayed!

Wish that war machine bust came with the ex wife. That would make that grand plus shipping totally worth it. I love my HT figures but I gotta agree that 1:1 busts have a presence that will draw everyone in the room a lot more than a 1:6 figure or 5. If the bust was around 750 or so I would say its worth it but for just shy of a grand...I'm iffy.

WM BUST all the way!!!

There is nothing like the WOW factor with something like this size!

 

[gypsycatcha]

And this thing looks BIG too. Never noticed the detail on the arc reactor before! really cool!

I will have to pick this up one day too!

 

[urascal]

Just looking at AverOne's display does it for me. I can't wait to pick mine up on Wed. The box wasn't as huge as I pictured it.

I'm a fan of 1/6 but mainly customs. So unless you're talking 5 customs then get the bust. Otherwise there's nothing like a custom 1/6.

If you're talking a regular 1/6 release you'll probably see them on the for sale section for less than release date pricing down the line.

with open ES pieces, just wait for one on ebay, it will save you $200-400 for sure.

War Machine bust!

Hot Toys figures are overpriced and get kind of boring after awhile imo.

I like collecting HT figures, but War Machine 1:1 Bust all the way!
