Hence why I bailed. If SSC wants to charge $199 a figure, they force me to pick line loyalties on general principle.
He hit a nerve?

Nah just passing the time until I get some more Cobra figures
. But isnt it assumed if you like somthing that is a collectible there are bound to be others that enjoy the same exact thing....Oh ya did I mention when you collect them in one place and post pictures (THE FORUMS) collections will most likely look the same

I can start posting pics of my vinyl collection. Batty might be the only person on this board that knows 10% of the bands. Only the custom collectors have a diverse collection from the rest of us. That's just how it goes. Who cares? It's not like my neighbors or friends houses have the same collection, lol

I think Hot Toys has a lot of what I call speculators. People who buy just for the plan to resell 6 months down the road, and I don't think they care if they're buying IronMan or SuckerPunch, as long as they think they can make a buck down the road.
Maybe I have a little of that in me and thats why I tend to get the Ex, whether its a worthwhile Ex or not, but I've never judged a figure as a whole for whether its going to make me oney in the future, I just buy what I like and I agree, I think the latest Joe offerings are every bit as cool as anything I've ever gotten from Hot Toys.

The days of buying HT to flip are over. Especially now where the ones you'd expect to be worth something won't even sell for retail while the ones you think will sit disappear.
How well does anyone remember the cartoon series. I know scarlett wore an outfit one episode were she wore brown boots,jeans, brown jacket does anyone nknow what color her shirt was.
I cant remember episode and i dont own any but want to make outfit so i have it when i get her a motorcycle.

Used to watch them, but don't remember anything that specific. Can probably youtube the episode though.

I tend to agree with you Nam, but there will always be exceptions. Like last years Toy Fairs Batman. That junt is going for well over $300 now.

I see him for $310 bidding, and BINs lower than $400. Given he was $250 (not including those of us who'd have had to pay tax), that's not that much of a mark-up.

On the bright side, I won't have to worry about SSC getting as much of my money as they ideally could.
I wont be buying anything to fill in the gaps outside of the joe line.
Room made for PFs though....
I agree I don't need hundreds of these nor do I have the cash for too much anyway. Quality before quantity...
I wonder though.
With SIDESHOW's design group (i.e. sculptors, etc.) being busy with the DC license (and others), I wonder if they'll actually bring on board additional/new designers/talent to work on the new licenses as well as shore up existing licenses?
Six new figures a year sounds reasonable, but personally . . . I'd like to see more so license/line can grow. If they need to slightly reduce the production numbers (i.e. say 1500 to 1250 or 2000 to 1500), then so be it as long the quality is there & price remains reasonable, but . . . if they jack up the price across the board for all figures to $199.99 or more each, then there will be backlash and those who are absolute true die hard collectors of the line will be the only ones who continue to support it. I know it sounds elitest, but that is a reality. We'll pretty much end up like those HOT TOYS die hard fanatics.

Whoever it is, we need a Joe and hopefully he's not a Tim Gunn'd "interpretation" of the character.

Roadblock would be a very welcomed addition.
