Hot Toys Ultron Prime review

[Michael Crawford]

I thought to myself "you should give the sixth scale stuff a break tonight" and then thought "nah...". Don't worry, I'll get back to the other figures, statues, busts, and prop replicas soon (did you buy your Tobin's Spirit Guide this week?), but tonight I'm going to hit up another Hot Toys release. This time it's Ultron Prime from Avengers: Age of Ultron. This is a big, bad, figure, with lots of excellence, particularly around the paint and the articulation. But it has some serious woes as well - you can find my review here:

Thanks for reading, and have terrific weekend!

I'm getting really tired of HT's needlessly complicated electronics and secret hatches. Sideshow got passed this with R2's touch sensor -- which is a brilliant way to turn on lights without seeing a switch.

Michael, I think you need to put your Trump doll in with every figure you review (in compromising poses) until the election is over.

Good review Michael.

I concur.

Wor, maybe you should get one yourself and do another Obi-Wan style photoshoot.

Wor, ... do another Obi-Wan style photoshoot.

Mot sure I can bring myself to purchase Trump doll. He'd find out and he'd keep calling me, and calling me....

Have you not been seeing my Trumpisms?

Have you not been seeing my Trumpisms?

I think I have now that you mention it. But this one stuck out to me.

i'm going to have to make a decision on this thing soon... keep my preorder or wait forever for an ultimate ultron. so far i'm leaning towards keeping my preorder.. but i don't know.

Great review Michael and I love the beautiful picture above from your review. It is shame that the light feature is so discouraging to operate, the lights on this seem like a must.

This isn't a figure I am considering getting because I don't collect villains, nor do I group my figures by movies, and its too big for any place I would have to put it. But it was very tempting.

But I often read your reviews even of figures I may not be considering because I have an appreciation for the hobby and your reviews are a great way to get a "closer" look at figures I might never see in hand.

Thanks for your great work.

Thanks Jaymas - I really appreciate it! I have a review coming Sunday night of some very, very, very nice figures...

I'm in the same boat.. I love reading and looking at figures that I have no intention of buying.
