Kinda want Black Adam figure
But the headsculpt expression is really putting me off, it just why the goofy expressions (Maybe I’m bias because I’m sick of seeing Dwayne played the same character in every movie)View attachment 690348

There are two sculpts with the deluxe, the one in your pic and a “non expressive” sculpt. The regular has the non expressive sculpt only.
 
Yeah that's another reason I just went with the regular. He didn't do the eyebrow thing in the movie so not sure why HT felt the need to include it.
Not movie accurate but the eyebrow is a “must have” for Rock fans.

I went from not getting this figure (due to my indifference about the movie) to possibly getting both the DX29 and DX30 - the extra eyebrow sculpt was one of the several convincing factors so Hot Toys decision paid off. :lol

I’m trying to stop buying figures that just “look cool” but making an exception due to being a Rock fan.

My DX30 DX waitlist converted at Timewalker so I will display that with the cape and eyebrow sculpt. And about to place a PO for the DX29 for the hooded look and the regular sculpt. Maybe display them back-to-back.

Even the other headsculpt I still find it looking goofy, I want the character but expression ruined it for me.
 
Maybe Dwayne’s approval of the likeness had to include his signature eyebrow raise sculpt?
 
Great now all you need is a Drax figure. I know he's Marvel, but you'll have all the wrestlers. Too bad there's no unhelmeted sculpt for Peacemaker. I don't know why.
There is one from present toys, but all the head sculpts I’ve seen from them suck ass, so I wouldn’t get that. Soosoo toys is doing one, hopefully that is good, but I hate soosoo toys stuff. Maybe hot toys will do one for a season 2 look in 5 years 🤣
 
Yeah I think you are right!

I have used Popcultcha several times in the last two years and they are great. I have noticed that it takes a bit longer to get the figures from them (I live in NY) but when they arrive they have been very well packaged and in perfect condition as one would expect. There is also good communication regarding shipping etc.

Because of the relatively low prices I was initially wary about ordering from them because I feared that there would be some insane mark-up with shipping or some other sort of deviltry . But no the price is the price.

On that note Timewalker is a fantastic outfit to purchase from also, their pricing is competitive and their customer service is great. I have been using them quite a bit lately.

I wish that I had known about Timewalker and Popcultcha back in 2017 when I started feverishly collecting :)
I love on Long Island. Do you visit any local shops for HT? If so, which ones?
 
Finally got around to watching this, and it wasn’t as bad as I had thought it would be tbh. I thought it was fun, and while I look forward to a better run DC film plan, I would have enjoyed a sequel.

I just wish they did his ears proper still lol.

Had a forgettable villain, after credit tease would have been a more interesting follow up.

I hope we get more live action black Adam, in one form or another.
 
I didn’t think the movie was anything great but I also didn’t really mind it either. Bought the 4K on sale but haven’t rewatched it. The figure does tempt me a bit to put into a DC collection.

I live in Western NY close to the Canadian border. I don’t really get down to the city. But a few years ago when I was down there I did have the chance to visit a store called Forbidden Planet, I used to order from pretty frequently when I first started collecting.
 
With so many pictures and reviews coming out it is clear to me that this is one of the best looking Hot Toys releases lately.

But I am really unsure of how this figure looks best, I have the Golden Armor version ordered but I can’t make up my mind about how he looks best:
No Cape
Long Cape
Or
Cloak (I would try to find that separately)

How do you think the Golden Armored version looks best?
