I'm a goner I think I'm gonna end up passing on Cherry to make room for this and I'm praying the AP slicers aren't too expensive.(closer to $50) I was really hopping for bot heads with them, but now not so much.

Tober Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Is it wrong that I'm liking #A's licensed stuff more than their own..? Like previously mentioned, I'd prefer the Halo Chief, if they get the license for that. A bit OT, but apparently the 3A REX is on schedule to ship end of August. Also anyone have the HT jill battle suit version? Yep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeyondTheGrave Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I do. It was my first ever HT fig. Why do you ask? one on ebay thats going for a decent amount. Just don't like the neck. Any issues with the suit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Well, I just ordered my first 1/6 figure...the Sideshow Desert Sands Sandtrooper. Hope I didn't just open pandora's box! Already thinking about pre-ordering the airborne trooper, and would also really like a snowtrooper, though I would prefer an officer version to the standard on that they are working on....plus something just seems off with the face mask so far on the snowtrooper.

I happen to love their IPs though but I'm also a big Ashley Wood fan. When they release stuff that is licensed from other companies, it's a nice extra for me but I mostly buy 3A because of the original stuff that is designed by Wood himself. I'd love a dedicated 3A thread but I think the only two people who would participate are me and anime52k8 Edited July 25, 2012 by xrentonx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GU-11 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 one on ebay thats going for a decent amount. Just don't like the neck. Any issues with the suit? Yeah, there's a rather unsightly seam across her neck when you look at it sideways, like she got beheaded or something. I hardly touch the suit. There's a warning about dyes from the clothing staining the figure, so I don't usually pose her with her poncho and mask on. I was so worried about creases and wear and tear, that I pose her in a somewhat neutral standing pose, and keep her in an airtight acrylic display case. But from what I can tell, the suit doesn't allow for much articulation in the legs, which is a shame given the way the charater fights in the game. One thing you might want to be aware of, are the holsters for her submachine guns. One of the loops on mine was too small, and I couldn't fit the gun's handle through.

GU-11 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 hmm.. so nothing like the batman weeping issue then. None that I've heard off. The suit is made of PVC aka artificial leather. the Batman suit was made of some sort of rubber. The same kind of rubber they used for the Comedian's vest, which also had the oily -residue problem. Is there a such thing as a bootleg hot toys figure? AFAIK, no. Unlike TF's and other mass-produced toys, a KO HT figure would need a ton of work put into it to even look like the real HT stuff, which is probably too much of a hassle for KO manufacturers to bother with.

There is the KO wolverine. The reason I ask is I'm looking for HT Iron man figures. Now amazon has for for 100 usd over original which ain't bad.

But eBay has a few sightly cheaper. Wow, I didn't know that. I guess the more popular ones will have KO versions. IMO, if you're okay with amazon's price, then you probably should one from them--for peace of mind, if nothing else. I stay away from ebay precisely because of things like these. Personally I think 100 USD is very reasonable, considering the price of the original release. Then again, it could be a sculpt from the first movie; HT has improved RDJ's head sculpt by leaps and bounds in the later versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GU-11 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) WTF? That's not even a KO. That's a...that's....I'm not even sure what the hell that is. Looks like something some kid kitbashed together from some old MJ toys. The seller can't possibly get away with that. I think this actually counts as a con job. It's like putting an actual Ferarri on sale, but giving the buyer a Hot Wheels toy instead. As for the Iron Man figures, why not wait until Hot Toys starts making the suits for the third movie? I'm not sure if the new suit will look similar to the MK. VI, but if you're not too particular, Iron Man designs don't usually vary too much. Besides, HT is always finding new excuses to milk licenses. As for War Machine, yeah, I think you should buy one while you still can. No telling it it will be re-released by HT, or if the old design would even be used in the third movie. Not sure how real that rumored pic of the Iron Patriot is, but it looks horrible.

I'm still shooting for him but I'm not gonna be crushed if I don't get one. I ended up with both 3 packs and the Kyu with bot head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GU-11 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) I'm a little worried about that material they're using for the ED-209's dome. Hopefully its a different, non-dry-rotting rubber, or better still, plastic or fabric. And please, HT, don't release this for pre-order this year! I've got way too much on my plate as it is. Hopefully, Catwoman's their last pre-order item for the year. About The Bat; I recall it has a pair of seats side by side in the trailer videos (the part where Catwoman goes, "My mother told me never to get into cars with strangers"), but on the toy, it's got tandem seats. Or was Catwoman sitting on Batman's lap or something? P.S., no spoilers, please; haven't had the chance to watch the movie yet.
