Yeah but what if DS3 Strange is even more "definitive"? A bigger collar, gloves, who knows. That's what worries me. It took them 3 movies to finally give Star-Lord his comic look, so maybe the same will happen here too. I don't know, I'm thinking of skipping this one and sticking with Defender/Supreme, then waiting for the DS3 look.This will be my definitive Doctor strange. And yes I'll probably cancel NWH version once it goes up for preorder. Lol
I understand what you mean. But in that case I'll sell DS2 figure when the DS3 one goes up for Preorder. LmaoYeah but what if DS3 Strange is even more "definitive"?

That's a good way around it. I myself don't like reselling so I'll have to really think about this. I'll probably grab a Wanda just to be safe, but for Strange I may stick with the Variants for the time being. We'll see how the year goes, but most of my hypothetical wants were from the supposed cameos this would have, so my list for the year has gone down significantly. And that's assuming they make the ones that appear, which is still in question. 2023 is relatively emptier too, so there's that as well.I understand what you mean. But in that case I'll sell DS2 figure when the DS3 one goes up for Preorder. Lmao
DS3 won’t be out for probably 5 years, a figure….another 2 on top of that. Id say just get this one and worry about the next figure in 7 years lolYeah but what if DS3 Strange is even more "definitive"? A bigger collar, gloves, who knows. That's what worries me.

Eh, I don't mind waiting. I do everything based on a predetermined plan. I have lists, charts, collages and everything. I don't care about the movies much beyond as a source for dolls of these characters, so I base my displays off comic stories and the such. Thus I pick and choose and everything has to fit within certain restraints. I need two Stranges, and I can manage four, but if Strange gets 1 or 2 sequels, and more appearances down the line, and thus many more costumes, which will most probably keep building up to his comic look, I'm hesitant to commit to something that's 80% there when the 100% look might be coming in a bit. Or they may go in an entirely different direction and I may end up with a bunch of alt. looks and no definitive one... Gah, this hobby can be a pain sometimes...DS3 won’t be out for probably 5 years, a figure….another 2 on top of that. Id say just get this one and worry about the next figure in 7 years lol
Good man. If you really sit down and True Detective this *bleep*, you can kind of see a pattern and plan out ahead. Sure there's always surprises but...it helps if you're trying to stay on-budget.Eh, I don't mind waiting. I do everything based on a predetermined plan. I have lists, charts, collages and everything.

Never know how deep HT will go when you see Gilgamesh, Loki, Hawkeye and NWH are from their IP release date. It's like 6 months later for some. I hope somehow HT can catch up with a strong Summer/Fall.Wasted week, really. We now have two "waves" of MCU teasers. The Spider-Men and the (first?) two DS2 figures. I can see them dragging it until Kenobi launches. Then June plugging some holes/random stuff, July start off with Kenobi then go into Thor 4 mode. In any case, with the embargos and the such I expect all these things to get figures even until the very end of the year.
I'm having second thoughts about this one myself. Considering how it ended and the set-up for DS3, who's to say in 4-5 years they won't have another costume ...
I'm trying but it's tough. The worst is when you have some licenses you care for a lot and want to set up some big displays, but you have to sacrifice quite a few one-off random favourites to achieve it. I have this huge Marvel Cosmic/FF set-up in my mind, but I'd have to give up a lot to make it real. And that's if they even make all of those characters. So I could be passing on some great stuff just to hold off for figures that might never happen.Good man.

It is true that HT sometimes comes up with a couple of surprises, but for example we still don't have an Ikaris. It's been nearly half a year since NWH and Hooded Goblin is nowhere to be seen. I think the latter will happen, but you get the point. I can plan my perfect X-Team as much as I want, but there's no guarantee they'll do Cyclops in that particular costume I want, or that they'll ever get to Stryfe. HT is HT, it's useless trying to predict them. A roadmap of sorts helps a ton, but sometimes you need to compromise a bit.Never know how deep HT will go when you see Gilgamesh, Loki, Hawkeye and NWH are from their IP release date.

A part of me knows it, another is worried that I may skip this good enough version, and in DS3 he'll ditch his comic-based look and start running around the Waid Space costume or something. Unlikely, but... Regardless, I'll wait a bit. I figure Defender Strange as least has good chances, and I'll keep my hopes up for a Supreme. If they made President Loki and even Old Loki, I see no reason why a Supreme Strange wouldn't get made.They will. Guaranteed.
There's always a better dollie coming.
There is always examples of even bigger gaps like Krennic, I think Venom and Cable. I'm sure there are more, especially with Batman Arkham and PS4 Spideys.It is true that HT sometimes comes up with a couple of surprises, but for example we still don't have an Ikaris.

I guess he still has yet to have the gold along the edges of the cloak, gold sash and even higher collar. Would be nice to get a three eye sculpt. The rest of his costume looks pretty close to the comic. The white design on his upper body was brighter on screen than what I thought it would be.A part of me knows it, another is worried that I may skip this good enough version, and in DS3 he'll ditch his comic-based look and start running around the Waid Space costume or something.

they never should've put that up for pre-order considering the Doctor Strange sequel and their massive production backlog. The sculpt sucks too.*The sound of every 'No way home' Dr Strange figure getting cancelled*
Yeah, good points. HT gonna HT.There is always examples of even bigger gaps like Krennic, I think Venom and Cable. I'm sure there are more, especially with Batman Arkham and PS4 Spideys.
I'm mostly holding off for gloves. And yeah, the sash and golden trimming would make a big difference. With how the Cloak was damaged in DS2, I feel like they're setting up the stage for him to try and fix it and thus transform it into its comic accurate form with the higher collar and such. I can't see them having him running around with a blue patch throughout a whole movie. They have to sell toys too...I guess he still has yet to have the gold along the edges of the cloak, gold sash and even higher collar. Would be nice to get a three eye sculpt.

From DS I just want a good "classic" one. Defender Strange I see as their take on the Black & Red (the Defenders version specifically without the Cloak).Not sure what other specific comic looks you are after.
Spoiler:And since they're setting up Secret Wars, if it plays out like in the comics, these two are also a posibillity:
I've always wanted to set up a DOOM Throne Room Diorama and fill it with his allies and the such. Morgana & Wanda as his "brides", Strange and Mephisto on one side, Kang & a Reed on the other, and Namor and Kristoff to the side, plus a Doombot or something. Aside from all the doubles and money and space needed for that, if they were to make a God Emperor Doom I'd need to build such a display around him, so I'd drop most of them and stick with Sheriff Strange, maybe the women and Namor. But I'm not liking the MCU Namor choice much so I'm back to square one...
Black Priest Strange is honestly a really cool and creepy design, so I'd just stick him next to the Sorcerers and pretend he's an AU Black Priest not Strange specifically. Hell, considering we're unlikely to ever get my Vertigo wants, if a Fate from Black Adam happens I'll have him displayed with my Marvel Sorcerers and pretend he's crossing over ala Dr. Strangefate.
