1/4 Scale Action Figures

Anyone here interested in these things? Enterbay and Hot Toys seem to think that they will be the next big thing. And they are big. Enterbay's Rambo 3 went up for pre-order today. Previously, they released a Terminator 2 T-800, and have Robocop, Rocky, and Batman Begins/Dark Knight figures in the pipeline. Hot Toys is doing the Avengers, Dark Knight Rises, Predator, and Terminator 1 (including Endoskeleton) figures in this scale, at least. Some I will surely be tempted by. In fact, I'm pretty tempted by this, even though I think it is the worst Rambo movie:

Yeah, other than the occasional statue, I don't buy much over 1/6 scale, so these new series are going to be a pass for me. I think ultimately 1/4 figures, even though they look nice, will end up being a fad. These companies are making these because they can, but is there really a huge demand for them?

I feel similarly in some ways, but there is no denying the presence that a 1/4 scale piece can give to your collection. I'm thinking that I will pick some up, but only the most extremely iconic characters, or my favorites. Batman Begins, Predator, T1 T-800, maybe Joker. Marty McFly would be nice :D

Also, if there's a Giant Man in Avengers 2, then a 1/4 scale version of him when he's, uh, regular human height would be a must buy for display next to my other 1/6 scale Avengers.

Wouldn't a 1/4 scale McFly already be 1/6 scale??? :P

Yeah, if it were a character like Giant Man, then it would be a definite buy from me. Thanks for asterisking my original comment for me. :thumbsup:

The craftsmanship on that is amazing! But i'll never buy one.

my gf begrudgingly drew the line at 1:6 hot toys. if i roll in with one of these she will make fun of me. hard. i'm talking making fun of me to my face AND online bullying via facebook & instagram photos, complete with comments of people joining in and supporting her views.

There is no "it Gets Better" video for toy collecting...

I just can't get into this scale. The Enterbay stuff looks great, but still doesn't make me want to buy them. The choice of characters has a little to do with this. There is no way I could have a quarter scale Sly Stallone staring at me every day.

Too much money.

At $400 (and pretty much guaranteed only to get more expensive from here), they definitely aren't cheap. But considering that high end 1/6th scale figures cost half that on average, I think the price so far is fair for these.

Yeah, it looks great, but I'm reserving 1/4 scale for characters I truly care about. Uncle Bob ain't one of them, great though the movie is and fantastic though the figure looks! Now the real Terminator from T1. . .
