Thanks for watching.

Good timing on the video... I seen the 1/9th Ultron Prime is available for pre-order. Too bad it's only in person. They need online pre-orders too.

So how exactly would we get their products?...aftermarket?...well that sucks.

That does suck... Hopefully if they do well enough with the AoU line they will expand their market.

Awe damn. Welp, there goes the 1/9 Hulkbuster pipe dream ... guess I'm all in on Hot Toys' HB!

BBTS has 1/9 scale armors up for PO. So some hope there

King Arts need to look at releasing some figures & stop with all the prototypes, what's the point in showing dozens of prototypes if they can't even get one figure into production?

MK42 should be released in April, followed by a few more this year.

Remember they are a relatively new company and doing this differently to Hot Toys, in terms of more user friendly and diecast 1/9 scale. 1 year from PO to release is pretty normal in HK.

I just hope they don't spend to much on prototypes & can deliver the goods, look at Play Imaginitive, lots of promise but no real product & retailers have been cancelling people's preorders because of repeated delays & no realistic release time scale..., hopefully King Arts will do a better job with their business plan though.

I would plop down some good chunk of money for that Ultron Prime, so I seriously hope it becomes available for pre-order to the international market.

Someone pointed out that their IM3 armors are on BBTS, I would imagine Ultron would find its way there too in the coming weeks/months. I'll be keeping a keen eye on it.

US will get it for sure, just hope a UK retailer picks it up too

Do you think the 1/9 scale will be equal to the 1/6 scale quality? $190 for King Arts to $230 for Hot Toys..... Not sure.

I haven't..... I was talking in general. Most Hot Toys are $230ish.

Ah, thought you'd found a bargain or scam. Not sure all the 1/9 releases will be at that price tho

I have no interest in collecting 1/9 scale personally. Also are they just going to focus robotic looking figures like Iron Man and Ultron?
