karamazov80 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 This comes right on the heels of Enterbay releasing a 1/4 scale, articulated T2 Terminator figure and showing a teaser for a 1/4 scale Batman Begins figure. Feels like HT just won't let up from grinding Enterbay to pieces. They previously did this by employing the movable eyes for the DX figures and taking away Enterbay's primary Bruce Lee sculptor--Arnie Kim--and starting to produce Bruce Lee figures; then, Enterbay combined with Medicom of all companies to produce Star Wars figures that look like Medicom but. . .with nicer paint jobs, and HT followed up by teaming with Sideshow for the Star Wars license. Anyway, not sure what this means for either of those companies, or for my collecting habits. But it worries me a bit that I will have to actually *gulp* make hard choices on what not to buy in the future Damn 1/4 scale statues are already taking up too much room in my house. I'm not sure what I would do with 1/4 scale figures, but. . .Batman, Cap, Iron Man, and Terminator are gonna be hard to pass up, for sure. Quote
luke314pi Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I am trying to tell myself that I wouldn't buy any 1/4 scale stuff, as I already can barely find room for the 1/6 scale stuff. But then I think about a 1/4 scale Iron Man from the Avengers trailer... Quote
karamazov80 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 I had pretty much committed myself to buying that 1/4 scale T2 Terminator, but now that I realize how expansive this might be (in terms of 1/4 scale figures in general) I wonder if I should hold off. I know how much space the damn 1/4 scalers take up. Quote

karamazov80 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 If I don't buy them food, and can then use them for food, then I kill two birds with one stone. Hmm. . . Quote
buttheadsmate Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 You'll miss 'em for a while but think of the extra space Quote
Shanester Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I have thus far avoided 1/4 scale stuff except a couple of Hulk pieces. I nearly bit way back when the Star Trek pieces were done. A 1/4 Spock seemed logical... Price and space limitations will keep me from pulling the trigger on 1/4 scale 99% of the time. 1% reserved for more 1/4 Hulk stuff or 1/4 scale Bumblebee Barn playset.

karamazov80 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 Enterbay has already released its Terminator, and it looks very, very nice. I can only assume that HT is gonna rival that with their releases, as they've only released solid figures with solid paint apps for the last few years (with an odd "miss" in sculpt or rubber suit QC problem here or there).

youbastards Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Yeah, I can honestly say that 1/4 action figures just hold no interest for me. 1/6 is as tall as I will go, aside from the occasional statue, but I rarely buy those anymore due to the cost of the current 1/6 figures. Quote
dj87 Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I'd love to see a 1/4 scale Hulk figure in real life. I want one. Quote
karamazov80 Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 I'd love to see a 1/4 scale Hulk figure in real life. I want one. I've got a 1/4 scale Hulk statue, and it's IMPRESSIVE. Quote
Shanester Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I'd love to see a 1/4 scale Hulk figure in real life. I want one. I have two of them and they are both taller than my 3 month old son. Massive is a good descriptor. Quote
