Hot Toys DX Indiana Jones announced + Star Wars teaser

[DinoLast]

The hat looks pretty accurate to me

Well for me this miles better than the Sideshow one, sorry that's the way I feel. If others hate it that's fine too, there is nothing I can do to sway other peoples opinion.

As for the Hat, it's one of three things I think need changing to make it better. There should not be a big gap between the ear and the brim.
The other things are that the eye colour it's too brown, and the shoes of course do look wrong and need fixing.
The body does not look too big, it's just near the pathetic Pro body that Indy came with,the Indy Medicom body that's even skinner, and the Spark Plug Toys McCoy

[FLOSI]

I was taking the In HT I Trust route but when we get blog pics were getting close to product and now I'm scared. I already sold my custom and I'm starting to regret it I think.


There's still time... Those pics could all be of the same prototype figure that was displayed at the HT anni event... At least I hope. :pray:

[MaulFan]

Just how much are they planning on charging for this thing?

Probably somewhere around $200.

[Johnny Utah]

I think they are. Snake Eater or Wookster need to debunk them asap.

[DinoLast]

When I posted the Cinemaquette it was a joke... but jeez, maybe not...

Sorry I don't see any comparison at all.
Hot Toys looks like Ford. Cinemaquette's looks like Dominic Purcell

[Wor-Gar]

Fact is, there should be no debate here with a Hot Toys Indy -- we should all be marveling at this figure right now going "gawd, it's Ford!"...

But it's not. No matter how hard you want to see it. I don't. This is not a masterful representation of the character like T1 T-800 is.


And Dino: the Ford above looks nothing like the Ford in your sig.

[Snake Eater]

Sculpt looks good in the pics.

Body too big.

Hat needs major fixing.

Jacket is meh.



Waiting to hear back from Arnie.

[teemu]

It looks way more like Ford than anything else I have seen in 1/6. :dunno

And compared to the other figures, it's the only one that looks like a real person.

The only thing that I think needs fixing is the hat

:goodpost::goodpost::goodpost:

dont get it :dunno

[meanstreak]

I think he looks awesome. Can't wait till he comes out. :rock

[Biojex]

Looks a lot like Ford in this pic.

[Spartan Rex]

Geez, tell me thats the old sculpt.
Looks like most initial opinions were on the money, and it wasnt the photography or lighting, the sculpt is awful.
I never thought I would write the following but:
The Sideshow version is superior to the HotToy version. (with a little futzing)
This must be a sign of the Apocalypse.
:devil:devil:devil:devil:devil:devil:devil:devil


Hell, this smiley looks closer to Ford :gun
(Hyperbole for illustrative purposes only, but not by much)

[MaulFan]

Well it sounds like Arnie's working on the sculpt right now according to Snake, so the photos would have to be of the original sculpt in order to be published. It's no surprise that Tommy Richardson hasn't posted them to his blog though :lol

[Wor-Gar]

Good! Arnie please save this figure. It deserves better.

And HT: you want Star Wars? Do good on this one. Lucas is watching.



I just wrote that to scare them. Shhhhhh... say nothing.

[mfisher]

I know it is too much to ask for.. but I wish they had a new muscle body for this... the tree trunk neck just doesn't fit... for some reason it looks more pronounced on this figure.. yet the HT muscle body with the Sideshow head I used for my TOD doesnt look so thick.. (guess because of the larger SS head)

[MaulFan]

Probably bad news for Indy fans, but I have a feeling that using the Wolverine body probably means it could be unlikely they'll do too many other Indy figures, I would think if they had some certain recyclability for the body like 2nd or 3rd Indy figures, they might have gone with something less buff, but to use the ripped Wolverine body probably means it's not worth it to them to come up with a more average build body, or maybe they feel like Indy should look all buff, even if Ford doesn't.

[SwedishHeat]

Perhaps the photographer just didn't push the hat down far enough onto the head??

In that line-up pic though, honestly. . . all of them look like butt.

[Sachiel]

The Sideshow version is superior to the HotToy version. (with a little futzing)


A little futzing? :lol

[faststreetsofhongkong]

The hat is just wrong in 1000 different ways. It looks more like the Last Crusade hat. The Raiders hat has a tight pinch down the front.

The sculpt looks slightly better in these pics ... But why not just hire Trevor? He is the best of the best, especially at Harrison Ford.

[Darkseed]

Looks decent to me.....:dunno

[sammie5]

can't wait for the final pics. hopefully they are better.

[Spartan Rex]

A little futzing? :lol

..just a smidge.
Id still take a Sideshow out of the box over the present HT version.
HT sculpt is that off imo.

[karamazov80]

I think the sculpt looks very good, but yeah, that hat is too small and doesn't fit correctly. Needs to be sculpted onto the head, and shouldn't be sculpted like that IMO.

[MaulFan]

Does seem like this might be Arnie's old head just with texture and PERS added, even has the little strand of hair on his left temple.

Now that's one sweet Dave Filoni statue.

[SkyIScrape]

That meaty neck is a bit distracting, but I find these pictures much better than those taken during the show. I personally like the hat, and does it look like the grosgrain band is separate from the rest of the hat? Cool. I normally jump on Indy figures - bought all the sideshow ones immediately. If this figure was released as-is for the DX prices I would have to really considering buying it - I like the sideshow Indy on a truetype with a head repaint (and Mike's additions) just fine.

[Darkseed]

Guessing we will see official specs for this guy pretty soon with the Milk shoot........

[Agen]

Guessing we will see official specs for this guy pretty soon with the Milk shoot........

perhaps today! :whip

[Deckard]

Something about the term milk shoot sounds really wrong.

[FLOSI]

Hat. is. small.

[The Craw]

still looks more like the guy at the beginning of Last Crusade than Harrison Ford. bummer cuz i wanted a decent Indy figure.

[EVILFACE]

Not gonna worry one bit till we see official specs and pics for preorder by HT.

[RJMacReady16]

Does seem like this might be Arnie's old head just with texture and PERS added, even has the little strand of hair on his left temple.



Haha yeah dude that's exactly what I've been thinking. I'm pretty sure they just banged-up his old sculpt for a prototype.

It needs to be better for HT, but even still, that figure would look better than most customs I've seen if you lit it and photographed it like a lot of these customs. Lighting and photoshop go a looooong way.

She'll look great in-hand.

[Deak Starkiller]

still looks more like the guy at the beginning of Last Crusade than Harrison Ford. bummer cuz i wanted a decent Indy figure.

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking Craw, I mean word for word. :panic:

Wow, Hot Toys are finally releasing a Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes figure!

[EXOTICLEX]

if they ship it like these photos that will be a complete bummer

[lawtonn22]

:dunnoHmmm ?, Hopefully these are just very late pics of the prototype shown in December as sculpt wise it looks no different. It doesn't look much like Ford at all though & in the shot of all the Indy's lined up together it kinda looks Ridiculous, I have faith that HT will revise it as they don't put out that many poor likenesses/figure anymore but it does surprise me that they've made a bit of a ____-up right from the start with this ! - I mean... It's Indiana bloody Jones for gods sake :gah:!!, he's one of the most famous/recognised characters in movie history & i'd expect HT to have nailed this from the get go yet they haven't, I can't understand how they can get such an icon wrong even at prototype stage :slap.

[DinoLast]

http://ww1.sinaimg.cn/large/6a853733jw6ddi3d3le1kj.jpg

Apart from the face shape, chin shape, eye shape, nose shape,and mouth shape, I agree :D

[intothevoid]

I think what's KILLING this figure is the stump neck ... and those ridiculous shoes.

And the hat.

[Cavlcade]

And the whip.

[The Entity]

Honestly, I was more impressed with the pics from the HT Expo about a month ago... I don't know it looks good, but not good enough, if that makes sense... like HT could do better.

The hat and shoes are the first things that come to mind, but it could use some more tweaks to the sculpt as well IMO.

I'm still interested in this figure, since I haven't got an Indy figure yet, but right now this is on the last place in my "To buy list"

[okieh 2]

has to improve !!!

[Maglor]

Hat and the way it sits on the head look horrible to me.

Agreed. Hat looks gigantic. They should have gone with a sculpted hat.

Thinking that this is gonna save me some money...


I'll probably try to get the jacket for my Sideshow figure, and have my Sideshow head repainted.

Hey, his hat fits like the picture in your avatar. I blame you for all this :mad:

[small_studios]

Not sure if it has been done already but alot of these comments should be directed at there FB page so at least they will be seen....hopefully. If the figure is released the way it is it would be a giant step backwards for HT. :slap

[small_studios]

http://rlv.zcache.com/google_eyes_monster_trucker_hat-p14837472325001543933mr_400.jpg

This looks like he just got hit in the head with the idol, the way his eyes are googled.

[Cavlcade]

I'm starting to think these pictures are some kind of wind up. Why would anyone release that picture above, it's almost as if someone is trying to sabotage this release.

[karamazov80]

Yeah, I didn't think there was a real chance that I would skip this, but if it doesn't improve somehow, then I might. I've come to accept off-center DX eyes, and the bulky neck isn't ideal, but I can deal with that, too. But the hat on the head looks totally off and kills the whole look for me somehow.

Maybe you're right but this picture is so funny...

The only reason I would buy this figure in the moment is to make a 1/6 stop-motion short parody with the title:

:rotfl:rotfl:rotfl:rotfl Indy's last adventure - CHAMELEON JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF POO :rotfl:rotfl:rotfl:rotfl

[small_studios]

Im honestly hoping this is a joke and they are going to blow us away with the official unveil. I think plasticenemies is hurting this figure more by posting all of those shots.

[Rorywan]

Just wondering is this THE WORST response ever for a Hot Toys proto?

I know there have been a few before which caused controversy and were improved, but I have never seen this much hate for a major new release?

Im going to say so. The figure is so off the way it is it doesnt take a uberfan to notice what needs to be improved. Why arnt the people who put togehter the T-800 and IronMan figures working on this one. :slap

Come on Rorywan don't loose your sense of humor... :nana:

That's no hate but the only way to get HT to improve the flaws of the figure before they release him.

I LOVE the T1 and T2 figures and many other HT sculpts but this one could be done better!

[Snake Eater]

Totally.


Damn, that's one ugly *** thick jacket. :monkey1

Yeah that jacket just looks like the old toy mccoys one. eugh

[Snake Eater]

It just looks rushed in every way unfortunately.

You only have to look at the T2 T800 to see how well HT can do jackets.

[karamazov80]

That jacket is really poor.

Seriously wtf.

HT needs a good smackdown for this. Can't honestly see this being released in this state though, i think major improvements must be underway.

[Matt S]

These new pics are not helping.......I still think it looks better than Sideshow's in its current form, but that's not saying much.

[small_studios]

Someone should post a picture of one of the plasticenemy shots over on their FB page then people can start to comment there as well. Highly unlikely HT will see all the "needs improving" comments here.

[Sachiel]

[intothevoid]

Even the Terminator Salvation figs had superior jackets

[a-dev]

Hmmm...well. I think if it stays like this I will seize the opportunity to save money this year. Theres too much negativity in this thread that I happen to agree with based on the new pics.

Just not feeling it. The build is wrong, the clothes are too clean, the likeness isn't exactly blowing my mind. Just a couple of years ago this figure would have been outstanding but now...should be better than what we're seeing.

[gunm]

Yeah, unless the final fig is nothing short of spectacular, I'll likely have to skip it--getting to the point where I need some pretty solid justification for shelling out over $200 for a figure. >_< :monkey1

[Johnny Utah]

I haven't seen this much complaining about a figure in a long time. Seriously HT get your act together. This isn't a figure you can afford to get wrong.

[Deckard]

Someone should post a picture of one of the plasticenemy shots over on their FB page then people can start to comment there as well. Highly unlikely HT will see all the "needs improving" comments here.

I wouldn't worry, if they release the official specs like this on FB, the response will be overwhelmingly negative. Thats how they knew to change Spidey.

I'm very fond of my own, that much I know.

[Greggo]

Hi Guys
I'm Indiana Andrews, Greggo's brother. He has kindly let me post using his username. I am finally joining the freaks tonight and signing up.
Wow there's so much negativity here about this figure, but hey you gotta love the passion!
Speaking as a HUGE Indy fan I am personally disappointed by what has been shown so far, i was so excited when they announced this figure, but let's be objective about this.
It is a prototype, period. It will, I feel sure, improve. However, from my professional viewpoint as a product development creative, I would never had allowed this to be shown to the general public, trade yes, Joe public no.
Production wise in the line up of the four figures, the HT blows away the competition, but the portrait needs work without question. The nose is not long enough, the eyebrows the wrong shape, the eyes the wrong shape. On top of this the fedora needs re-blocking - the pinch tightening, the brim reshaping.
The other main problem I have is the body, it's way too muscular. Now maybe this is a stock body HT have used for the prototype, if not this needs correcting. The reason why Indy had such huge appeal was his everyman quality. Sure he was slim, but Mr Ford was never that cut or defined, or that broad either. This figure looks more like the original concept art.
Costume wise the gun belt is not wide enough, it should be wider than the webbing belt. A minor point the gun belt is too dark. The holster looks huge, compare it to the size of the revolver. Not sure if it is the way the figure is dressed, but the breast pockets on his shirt look too high. The shoes look great, but way too new looking.
These are all simple minor fixes which are bound to be refined. It's a prototype in development after all.
We fans are always the most vocal and we must be heard right? They will hear us HT will get it right. We just need to be patient it will be worth it.
Best to all
Indiana Andrews
c/o Greggo

[FLOSI]

If Ford was herp derp'n.

Define please.

[Wanderer]

For such a massive fanboy licence, Hot Toys seem to have dropped the ball here. I'll reserve judgement when the official specs are revealed, but what a let down so far! Not a single redeeming quality about it. So un-Hot Toys like....surely it'll get better?....

[Johnny Utah]

Indy will probably be silhouetted like Dutch was until it's ready.

[Mad Old Lu]

According the newsletter he's pre-ordering tomorrow (1/21/11).

You're kidding! I wonder if we'll get any more pictures that we haven't seen before. At this point I imagine they will still be of this "prototype".

Wow. As a die-hard Indy fan, I'm really going to have to think hard about ordering this guy, or waiting for a GoHastings sale.

[MaulFan]

Indy will probably be silhouetted like Dutch was until it's ready.

Doubt it, Dutch was put up for preorder before they had a sample people were allowed to see by FOX, Indy's been shown off, nothing to hide, it'll be more like the T2 Sarah Connor, they'll put up whatever photos they have now and if there's a correction made and new photos taken, those will go up eventually.

[gunm]

Hm, I wonder if they'll make much, if any changes at all if they are already going to pre-order him...

[Johnny Utah]

They would bloody want to make changes given this largely negative outcry from the 1/6th community.

[Wor-Gar]

I will not be ordering this. :(

I do want the Arab gear...but I'm gonna pass anyway.

I'll pick up the shirt at TA.

[The Josh]

Yeah, as of right now I won't be ordering this through SS. I expect a NRD and I can't swing that on a product I have so many questions about.

[Batfreak]

is there a release date for this figure yet?

[MaulFan]

NRD could really hurt this thing, even if the sculpt's improved, I'll want to preorder somewhere that gives me flexibility to cancel at no loss if the final product is lacking.

[The Josh]

NRD could really hurt this thing, even if the sculpt's improved, I'll want to preorder somewhere that gives me flexibility to cancel at no loss if the final product is lacking.

I agree it will. The Mark V had one so I figure this will too and with how it looks losing money that I could put towards other items would suck.

[mfisher]

Yup.. at this point I see me buying the Arab disguise.. pants, shirt, maybe the jacket and a few pairs of the boots.. even though a number of you have criticized the boots they are actual very VERY good reproductions of Alden 405s.. just need a serious weathering to look like Indy's screen used boots.. but before the prop department weathered his, that is pretty much an exact copy of the boot in the movies... regardless.. at this point they can keep the head, failed fedora, and of course I am in no need for any belts, holsters or sidebags... seriously disappointed...

[Karma]

I bet there's a sideshow exclusive

[MaulFan]

The main thing that'll determine if I get this figure is the final sculpt and hat, if those look good, I'd like to have the HT paint apps and PERS feature, but if that doesn't look good then this figure is just parts to pick up later.

[FLOSI]

NRD could really hurt this thing, even if the sculpt's improved, I'll want to preorder somewhere that gives me flexibility to cancel at no loss if the final product is lacking.


Same here... I'll place an order through BBTS since there's no cancellation fee then if I like the changes, assuming they are made, I'll move my order to AE.

[Wake]

This is lackluster.

[Batfreak]

i dont see at all what you guys are talking about. i think this is going to easily beat every other 1/6 indy out there. i love the sculpt, its looks so much like ford then the others. definetly picking this up no question, i just hope the wait isnt too far off.

i think you guys are WAY too nit picky.

[Billy Ray]

Yeah, I'm diggin' it too.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is an "NRD"?

[The Josh]

Non-Refundable Deposit.

[Kuzeh]

The only reason I would cancel this guy is due to lack of funds...
so I'll wait and see...

[The Josh]

Sorry :( :lol

[Billy Ray]

Non-Refundable Deposit.

Ah, thanks. I probably could have figured that one out by myself if I really tried. So is this charged to your card when you pre-order? How much do you think we are talking?

[MaulFan]

Ah, thanks. I probably could have figured that one out by myself if I really tried. So is this charged to your card when you pre-order? How much do you think we are talking?

I believe it's 10% of the item cost, so if the figure were $200 the NRD would be $20. Is it a great deal, no, but, if you ultimately end up not wanting the item, that's money you spent with nothing to show for it.

[Wor-Gar]

I probably could have figured that one out by myself if I really tried.

Of course you could.

[galactiboy]

If I order tomorrow will depend on if there is an exclusive or not... pretty sure $200 is the cut-off for NRDs and I'm guessing that this will be at least that if not more.

If its an extra body (like Lee) I'll probably take the chance, but if its just something lame (like a dart in a torch :lol) I'll take my chances waiting to see what the revisions do.

As it is I don't think its a terrible figure, but the sculpt kind of looks like Arnie Kim never really improved past his earlier efforts. At one time his Ford sculpts were tops... but Trevor has pretty much set the bar for what a Ford sculpt needs to be.

[Wor-Gar]

I have to be impressed to want to spend $200+ for another Indy and another pedestal...

I really want the Arab Disguise, but I think I can get that parted out, so the temptation is minimal unless they make that sculpt a must-have for me.

I am eager to see the official pics tomorrow though.

[EVILFACE]

I'll be ordering tomorrow!

[galactiboy]

Funny observation...

Since the Superman figure was teased; Indy Dx was teased, debuted and now will pre-order all before we get so much as a WIP of Superman :lol :lol :lol

F you DC fans :nana:

[Wor-Gar]

F you to Avatar fans too...


And Barbossa fans....


And... well, nevermind.

[galactiboy]

Although there at least was a WIP of the Avatar figures... so still DC (or more specifically Reeve fans) are at the bottom of the heap :lol

[karamazov80]

Better they take their time and delay Supes than rush it and have him looking like this Indy figure.

[Mad Old Lu]

:lol That's very true.

[tcollector]

Will be ordering this tomorrow. Hopefully they'll be an exclusive at SSC. This will be my first Indy figure so hopefully the final release will rock.:whip

[Darkseed]

I'll be ordering tomorrow!

x2........full specs then tomorrow morning

In all seriousness I think Indy took precedence as it's a joint venture with Sideshow.

Isn't Arnie Kim sculpt Reeve as well... :monkey3

[DinoLast]

Isn't Arnie Kim sculpt Reeve as well... :monkey3

Yes, but I think that is why Supes has been delayed, as Hot Toys got Indiana on loan from Sideshow, and they might of said to Arnie, can you do this first.

[M-Stig]

Looking good. Love the shot without the jacket.....

[Master Wayne]

The hat looks just terrible.

[gunm]

Yeah, the pics from FB are the best quality yet, and are thus more flattering than the teaser/event pics.

I think I'll PO this figure from one of my favorite 1:6 retailers when the PO open up more.

[Boba Ben]

It looks really good.

[RJMacReady16]

I think I really did expect something more...

But this:

looks awesome. I'll be proud to own her. (him)

(it)

[Rock83]

A Extra head with his famous Smirk like the Sideshow PF has would be nice.

[RJMacReady16]

^^ Yeah I figured that would've been an obvious move...like making Rorshach first, but them are the breaks.

[Spartan Rex]

Never thought Id use this word in conjunction with HT:
"Underwhelmed"
Let alone for an HT Indiana Jones...

[Chigger58]

This is the oddest figure I've seen from HT's. At some angles the HS looks spot on and I can definitely see Ford. Then some of the pics I just stare at wanting to see the likeness but can't overall. :dunno

The accessories and dio stuff looks great though! :clap I do hope they fix the hat a little before shipping it.

I order from AE so with the delays between when other retailers ship and AE ships I should have plenty of time to check out some reviews. This will be my first preorder with them instead of an all out purchase.

Did I miss where it says when it will be released?

[SAB]

Hot Toys have been hitting everything out of the park in the last few years.

Bummer that their first big miss in a while had to be Indy....

Who knows...I always go back to their Rocky IV figure a few years ago. The pre-order proto shots looked nothing like the final product which was awesome.

And their Bruce Lee Enter the Dragon figure has had drastic rework over the last few months.

[FLOSI]

The hatless pic looks pretty good... I'd say it's the hat more than anything else that's really missing the mark. Jacket, sculpt, shoes, etc could all still use work too but the hat, to me, is the most glaring issue.

I'll be ordering..... :(

[Master Wayne]

I very much like this shot, as it hides the length of the oversized hat. I'm sure if HT doesn't fix this, someone will come up with a clever mod or replacement hat.

[FLOSI]

Looks more like the Jim Steranko concept art than anything.

(it)
Funny, this is actually the least flattering picture they've shown, in my opinion. You can really tell how silly the hat looks here.

[small_studios]

The sculpt isn't horrible but the rest is a complete flop. If you think it looks good your trying to hard to convince yourself that it is.......This figure looks cheap in so many ways its almost funny.

[SAB]

http://digitalpolyphony.webs.com/indiana-jones-art.jpg

LOL yeah, exactly what I said a few pages back.

I almost wish they'd put a black jacket on this figure and launch a 'concept line' of early incarnations of famous characters.

An original concept art Darth Vader would be very cool.

[karamazov80]

Assuming he doesn't have a magnetized neck, I would probably just switch this guy over to a regular True Type and not worry about the muscle body. I just wouldn't show too much chest. But yeah, the thick neck is just wrong and pretty distracting.

[gunm]

I don't think this figure or the kit that comes with it looks cheap at all, however, there are two main problems I see (as most have already noted):

1) the hat doesn't sit right on the head and appears oversized
2) the neck appears too thick/stubby for the head

At least, these are the biggest issues I have with the figure. They are fixable and ultimately won't be the deal breakers for me on this figure (the price might be, but we'll see).

[DinoLast]

Arnie confirmed 33 mins ago on Facebook that he is revisiting the sculpt.

[DinoLast]

The hat is attached to the Hair and swaps over to the other hair piece, so the PERS control must be accessible that way

[RagingBull]

I was quite negative about the hs before but I think there 99% there now. So HT are going to be getting more of my money & I didn't think they would with this one. Oh well, when are these up for preoreder then?

[Murderofcrows71]

Looks like John Stamos in an Indy costume. Just my observation, but I'm hoping HT pulls this one off somehow. Was hoping it'd be the Grail of my collection. Now, just hoping for some big improvements

[Johnny Utah]

Very true. Arnie will show us the way.

[FLOSI]

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm314/DinoLast/IndyArnie.jpg

Awesome. I could kiss you Dino. :1-1:

[The Josh]

I think I will wait to even think about ordering this until I see his redo on the sculpt.

[thenammagazine]

Awesome. I could kiss you Dino. :1-1:

I wouldn't hold my breath until in hand pics hit and we see a noticeable improvement, which I highly doubt is going to happen. I'm betting Sideshow will throw in a NRD just to ____ those preordering hoping that this $250 badboy will have a better sculpt. In the end you'll have to decide whether or not to bite on a sub-par likeness or toss away the NRD.

I won't be going through SS anyway, unless there's some kind of really cool EX.

The hope that there could be an improved sculpt is enough to keep me on board right now.

And you were doubting the $250. I've had this pegged from the very first announcement. Shoddy likeness and $250 pricetag. :lol:rotfl:lol:rotfl:lol

[galactiboy]

Wow... $250 is a very hard pill to swallow.

Sure you can get him for 10% less at a retailer ($220 at BBTS); but even then I think I'll just stick with customizing the Sideshow figure.

Yup. Especially now. Picking it up for $50 and dumping in $100 in upgrades and you have a superior figure for $100 less than this.

Not anymore unfortunately.

[Valfar]

Nothing really wrong with the hat, looks pretty good i think..its the fricken PERS system that throws the likeness.

[King Darkness]

Hot Toys Vader $300 :lecture


I hope HT made a plain jane Superman, no accessories or extravagant stand, dont wanna pay $250.

Afraid to see what Keaton Bats is gonna cost.

<<<<<<<< Chicken Little

[Billy Ray]

Pulled the trigger on him from Sideshow. I had some rewards points saved up for just such a big ticket item. I know I am in the minority here, but I think he looks fantastic.

[DiFabio]

They will almost certainly do a DX with Clark Kent as the secondary figure.

[The Drizzle]

I was afraid HT would keep jacking the prices up, they are seriously going to price themselves right out of me being able to buy anything.

[RagingBull]

I know HT prices are starting to get a bit concerning now, they just seem to be creeping up all the time :-(

[teemu]

Devalued currency results in higher inflated prices

[King Darkness]

Goddamn N.W.O. :cuss:cuss:cuss

Me too! I'm not paying that kind of money out for it the way it is.

[Boba Ben]

I will wait for this to go on sale at Hastings and then they'll probably send me an Indiana Jones sticker book in error. It's how I roll.

[Darth Madden]

They just priced me out with Indy... and I'm sad to say probably Jack Sparrow too since he will more than likely be the same price.

It's funny how more attention is spent on the accessories. It's clear HT's using the extras to sell an inferior figure. :lol
