firespecter is selling for less elsewhere. i think the price will settle around $150. it sure is an awesome figure.

 

[King Darkness]

This really is a good looking figure, but i just can spend that kind of funds a figure I know nothing about and have no emotional investment in.

Same here, canceled mine. Too much money to be spent in the 4th Quarter.

I am going to bite the bullet and stick with FireSpecter. I have a gut feeling this piece from Hot Toys is going to be the one that people will want to own down the road.

 

[galactiboy]

Its a great looking piece, but I'm coming up close on my wedding and with other stuff I've got coming he seems like the easiest to drop. I may still eventually get him, but for now its a pass.

lets see some pics when folks get him.

I got mine, but I can't take pics while I'm moving.

He's a pretty awesome figure. The hammers, axe and sword are metal and I think the helmet might be too. I can definitely see him as part of a set - perhaps AirSpecter, EarthSpecter, WaterSpecter too? Lots of cool details and great work on him. Can't wait until I can set him up.

I think I may have just found one of these for about $150 shipped... any recent thoughts on the figure?

wow, my prediction realized! selling for around $150. an AWESOME figure. i've got one that's still unopened and i've debated about displaying him. not popular but you won't regret getting one. popularity isn't everything. what's that sprite commercial say? obey your thirst. only you have to like it..and i love it!

 

[galactiboy]

Well, I went ahead and paid for him. I figured that was a good enough deal and its a figure I've been really interested in. Worst case scenario I don't like it and I'm sure I could always get my money back.

I'll toss up some pics once he arrives

[Ryanfromindiana]

Oh wah wah you'll get him yeah big cry baby! hehe

 

[galactiboy]

I just hate dealing with FedEx... I never use them except if there is no alternative. In this case he was shipped before I knew what method was being used.

I know its only one more day, but what tweaks me is that every time it shows as "delivery attempted", yet I'm home and there is not delivers slip. Just shady.

 

[galactiboy]

Well, FedEx got it right today and I was graced with my Firespecter figure. What can I say but that its another amazing figure from Winson Ma and Hot Toys. He's definitely a strange figure, but one I'm really digging. Lots of great detail and superb workmanship.

But with that comes the fact that its easy to break stuff. Within a 1/2 hour I snapped off a tiny piece of one of the hoses... not a big issue, but sad nonetheless. Everything about the figure though really screams quality. Only 3 things I think would have helped 1) would have liked the facemask to be removable, or a 2nd portrait, 2) Coat could use a wire, actually kind of odd it didn't have one since that seems pretty standard these days 3) the boots could have a better look to them. In the proto the silver part looked like metal, in the final product not so much.

Anyway, here's some pics:

Beautiful Josh!!! Dang, I still really want one of those!!!! But I got too much on pre-order. I've got to have some restraint........











Being responsible sucks!

 

[galactiboy]

**cough cough** its actually Joseph,

Oh and one thing I forgot to mention, the little brass studs are glued onto buttons. And because of that can come off really easily... One was missing after I started looking over the figure. I have no idea if it came that way or if it got lost as I was playing with him.

BBTS has this guy on clearance for $135, just thought I'd pass it on.
