finally scored a War Machine Neon Tech from a local store. so relieved not having to deal with shipping uncertainty (and cost!)

was also able to place a PO for the holographic Iron Man. was made to jump through hoops though. to be eligible to place the PO, one has to have purchased or PO'd 2 other HT products in the past 3 months. good thing i was late placing my PO for Mandalorian w/ Child and it fell within that eligibility period, and the WM Neon Tech counted as the 2nd purchase. the holo IM was about 30% cheaper than usual. i suppose due to the lack of die cast.

Where/which company were you ordering from that regulated such rules to fulfill/order the HT HG IM MK4?

it's a local comic store chain in Manila. probably a COVID thing to drive extra sales. or maybe the holo IM is a much more limited production run. the WM Punisher i got from them previously was just a straight up PO.

i was stalking that sideshow page for a while but i couldn't pull the trigger for fear of of the current shipping limbo and shipment prices.

so it was fortunate a local PO showed up. the price is $345, but that's already landed cost. definitely cheaper if one does not count or mind the pre-requisite purchases, which i happen to want anyway. guess i got a lucky break

Opened Fury. Makes my Shield team complete with Hill and Coulson. I’ll open End Game Thnos when Ronin, Antman, and BW come in.

I can check off Iron Patriot Mark 1 (Mark 2.0 is End Game).

I told myself I wasn’t gonna get it and maybe just get the neon tech version but ended getting it brand new. WM Mark 1 was still sealed and everything is working.

Delay in posting this...

HT ESB Snowspeeder Luke, pricing not yet determined, to be out between Q2-Q3 of 2022 as they're way behind and a sculpt reuse... :nea:

Of all the HT and SS Star Wars I have I still don’t have a Luke. I’d be all over this if they announced a 1/6 snow speeder.

These look great. I like how Ahsoka's outfit appears to be concealing her arm joints.

I'm still hoping for a phase 1 Clone Pilot and (sigh) the Imperial Naval Trooper one day though.

Finally got my Hot Toys Boba Fett 40th anniversary edition. I’m getting the deluxe for another display whenever that rereleases.

It’s not her outfit, her joints are covered by her skin material like Wonder Woman by Hot Toys 

Whoa they are finally making figures like that? (I have nothing but contempt for DCU/MCU so I would not be aware of what the Wonder woman fig is like.)

A couple of decades ago I postulated to a friend how cool it would be if they made figs with skeletons and musculature covered with artificial skin that would be super realistic and articulated. Looks like a step in that direction.    :)

Those have been a thing for a while now, the primary makers of them though are a bit too...anatomically accurate for most buyers.

Meaning inclusion of unnecessary (for action figures) items like male genitalia or over realistic frailties like blemishes, warts and wrinkles e.t.c?

I always had an idealised pristine version of the figs in mind. Heck I cant even stand weathering - when I bought a Klingon BOP that had weathering I kept compulsively trying to "clean" it.:lol:

The proper classic comics Wonder Woman. Awesome!

And the articulation and look, if as described, is exactly what I dreamt of back in the 90's.:rolleyes:

Somebody give us a comics Ronan, Deathbird, Captain Mar-Vell and Gladiator like this.:yahoo:

Yeah I broke down and waitlisted Endor Luke. Thought he would go good with my scout trooper on speeder bike. Will set him up chopping off the front end. 
 

leia and wicket look good. So ordered them too. 
 

Only in stock I ordered was the clone wars yoda. He looks pretty good. I feel like the shipping was a little ridiculous though.
