New Hot Toys True-Types

[creecher]

What's with the pricing of these? ABC has the normal up for like $70 and the Caucasian for like $25. Pretty funny actually, because the 'normal' looks more Asian than the cauc Asian. Anyway, why such a big difference? Do you think the Asian market really hunger for the normal version because of all the customs they do, or what? $70 f'un bucks, is price gouging to the max. Any more and I'd want it to have dreads, armour and some weapons.

Ordered a few of the caucasian version.

 

[Bardoon]

I stocked up on some Toys2.net

I wonder if Hot Toys will release their female TrueType body.

 

[EVILFACE]

Cotswold has them for $30.

[Captain Faramir]

Ordered one!

 

[galactiboy]

I was hoping these might be a bit cheaper... but $30's not bad considering all the stuff you get with them.

 

[IrishJedi]

Unitoyzone has them for $27.99

 

[galactiboy]

Ah, my cheap sense is tingling... who will have them for $25?!?

I don't think anyone will have them that cheap. I went with BBTS because I don't have to pay CA sales tax.

$28 is a bargain considering everything that you get.

 

[galactiboy]

Sorry, I'm cheap and I'm looking for a cheaper price

Toy Square has them for 26 but you have to pay for shipping from Canada. I may go ahead and pick up a few from somewhere else..

Getting closer Wonder if places like War Toys or Monkey Depot will carry them?

 

[doesitmatter]

Do these fit Sideshow heads?

 

[galactiboy]

I think one of the neck plugs works for heads from Sideshow, Dragon and others. Not 100% sure though.

hey fellas, i asked abc express why the asian version was so expensive. they said it was a mistake, and they've been corrected now. they're all back in the $25 - $30 range now.

gonna try and get 2 caucasians and 1 asian. the caucasian is definitely not as ridiculously pale as the last time, right? it's not a straight relaunch is it? the skin tone looks different to me.

Time to warm up my plate of crow. Vikingplayground has them for $25:

Now $25 bucks is a killer deal.

Good job 8th. I wonder how many they sold before they corrected it. I will probably put in a similar order. Sorry, I can't help you with the colours. I think it's a chance you have to take.
