HT figures never sell out from Sideshow Day 1 unless they're some sort of exclusive anymore. I'm actually intrigued to see how Ghost Rider does.

SS NRD is a real day one killer on their site.

I don't think this GR will sell out fast unless they made very miniscule quantities. I'll probably pick it up since I doubt we'll get the Johnny Blaze Rider. That's my fave version.

So far i only own 3 figures (HT 1/4 Boba Fett, SS Darth Malgus PF and the SS Darth Vader PF).
I'm very happy with all of them but i know that HT has a higher quality.

For 1/6 figures, SS quality just doesn't come close to HT. I sold all my SS 1/6 Star Wars figures. Their proportions and sculpts are just bad. I recommend waiting for HT to release more baddies.

I was actually waiting for the 1/4 scale Stormtrooper and Vader from HT.
But from what i've heard they may never get released.
And because of this thread i'm getting out of control and i'm looking into a nice 1/6 scale.
Damn all of you!!!

Haloid1177 said:
Oh you have 1/4 Boba? Never mind. Maybe grab a Snowtrooper then?

Yes. What an awesome figure.
Snowtrooper you say......

HT Palpatine and ROTJ Vader should be coming soon with ROTJ Luke being posted for preorder. Also Episode VIII baddies if you're interested in the newer movies. I wonder if we'll finally get Kylo sans helmet.

We will. I imagine the promo figure for TLJ is gonna be TFA Kylo with a clean head sculpt that gets reused with the scar to be included in the TLJ version.

I told my wife. Told her I have 13 months to scrape $200 together. She was cool, she then asked if she could order some makeup and I of course said yes.

I am trying so hard to not buy panther knowing one is coming with a T'challa head.

Yeah but the Civil War suit is way better than the new suit. So you should buy both. Buy an actual decent character for once in your life Messi.

They also have Kylo Ren for $135, Boba Fett for $141 and $156, Ultron Prime for $225, and Thanos for like $260. I got the only Wolverine apparently.

Ugh, nice discount for Thanos but I can't splurge on him atm. I'll wait for the one with the Infinity Gauntlet instead.

hlj went up for 30 sec this afternoon i heard from another user but was gone in 30 secs. i have one at amiami and one from hlj,

the JYP import stores will ship soon (this weekend or next). US will prob get it a month later.

i may have a 3rd that's about 205 shipped, if it's legit (have enough stock) , i'll pass it on to you.

Has anyone heard anything about the Guyver 3 pre-orders? Was talking about it with a friend earler and found it strange Ami-ami haven't at least been in touch about shipping details by now? It's out this month and we're half way through already.

HT Kylo Ren or SS Darth Maul?!
Or maybe a nice Trooper?!

Any recommandations?
Click to expand...

I would recommend Kylo - he's a really fun posable figure with nothing that will degrade (IE rubber limbs or thin clothing). Also you can get him for pretty cheap, like 170 shipped. Sideshow makes some great figures but compared to HT even now the quality always feels a bit off.

I really hate Batfleck but that battle damaged one looks pretty stellar, I may have to get him . . . but then I'll need a Supes too. Anyone picking up Ghost Rider? He looks like he has high play / display value.

Also while figuring out poses last night I decided to go with this for my MK46.

Marvel Legends Gamora arrived today and it's absolutely crazy how good this looks. I think this is the best looking Marvel Legends I've ever seen, the likeness of Zoe Saldana is like 90% accurate and all the paint is flawlessly applied. There's nothing out of place or chipped or warped. Was there sorcery involved in the making of this figure?

Apologies for the crappy phone pic. Don't have my camera with me right now.

I think I need Nebula now.

Got me a Hot Toys Toy Fair Ghost Rider figure!
Click to expand...
Thanks for the heads up that the Toy Fair figures are pre-orderable now. Just pre-ordered the battle damaged Armored Batman myself. It looks like a definite upgrade compared to the vanilla Armored Batman and he can actually crouch now (which was a large reason why I didn't buy the vanilla version).

All I need now from BvS is a Lex Luthor/Doomsday double pack from Hot Toys.
