Shanester Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I jumped off the the HT bandwagon because of the rubber parts. I sold all my figures with rubber bodies and do not plan to get Avengers Hulk for the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 I'm pretty sure that Hulk is gonna use the PVC material used with their current gen muscle bodies Shane. . .just saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost confidence in an expensive brand and I am not going back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 So were all the Comedian figs messed up. I always kinda wanted to get one. I bid on ebay here and there but never a dedicated big time bid on them. Same with Hellboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Widow arrived today. Took a few shots. I really love how easy to pose this figure is. It's a nice contrast to the last few figures I've gotten.

Also, when dd Ten turn into me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bid on ebay here and there but never a dedicated big time bid on them. Same with Hellboy.Hellboy also has some QC problems. Mainly the knees which are brittle due to being cast in red plastic (red plastic is more brittle than other colors apparently), but the rubber also had some issues for some. I had him for awhile. Looks awesome, great little details, but no poseability. Might as well be a statue. Edited March 16, 2013 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glantern Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Just won a HT red/blue Spider-Man for 180 shipped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Nice deal. That's one figure that I was wrong about--I assumed it would be pretty popular and would increase in value significantly and quickly, but it's high end value seems around $200 right now. I don't attribute that to folks assuming another Spidey is coming. Must be people don't care that much for the figure, but it is a great one IMO.

Webhead Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I have both red and black and love them both. Great figures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I actually put some serious thought into getting a black Spidey, but I really only have the money and the space for one Spidey on the shelf right now, and I figured if I was only getting one, I should go for the original. I may still get one down the line though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Be SUPER CAREFUL with Spidey's wrist pegs, finding replacement red pegs is next to impossible right now. There should be more when Amazing Spiderman gets released in a few months, i plan on snagging a few extrs sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Thanks for the tip. I'll probably do the same as you. I've never broken a HT wrist peg, but I like having that extra safety net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 My ht spidey broke as soon as i took him out of the box.The ankle broke first and then followed his waist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) I've only broken a few HT pegs in my day, and one instance of this was Spidey. Not sure if we'll see many Amazing Spidey part outs for the same reason we haven't seen much from the original version. I don't think those pegs will be easy/cheap to come by.

Twisted Two-Face Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Black Widow is incredible. Maybe even better than Hawkeye; this is just an incredibly stunning figure. Looks even more like Scarlett in person too, thank God. Poseability is absolutely fantastic, not hindered at all (unlike Battlesuit Jill), and the hair, the biggest concern, is actually perfect. I have little fear of it ever being a problem, it came a little matted down from the plastic wrap but a few seconds of gently tapping at it here and there made it easily perfect. One of the best i've bought, absolutely. Can't recommend her enough, and can't wait to complete the SHIELD trio with Coulson. If HT could guarantee me a Maria Hill, i'd probably track down a Nick Fury too. But until then, just Coulson for me. Missed part of the Harvey conversation, but he was my first Hot Toys. Got him for $95 shipped i believe, and what a relief that is apparently. He's definitely aged badly; my biggest hopes for HT from the Bat spectrum are a Ra's and an updated Harvey (two suits?). The suit is baggy, the skin isn't anywhere as detailed as the new figures, and he breaks easily; mine did have the knee-breaking problem (just one half, so it still works with a little glue), and his waist loosened up a LOT over time. It's really hard to stand him straight. But it's still Harvey, just the small things that stand out.

Glantern Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Yeah, my Harvey has the waist issue too. To get him to stand straight, I have to get his center of gravity just right. The Dark Knight bodies in general seem to be lower quality than all the others I have. I ended up having to replace my V1 Joker's body entirely because both his knees broke into several pieces.

karamazov80 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Pretty sure I also had to switch out one of his knees. . .also happened with one of the early Jokers I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 YIKES. I got Abigail Whistler over the weekend. I was gonna share a pic of my two archers, but Photobucket's down right now. I'll do it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Whistler is a very cool and under-rated HT figure, the Biel likeness is spot-on. After playing through the new Tomb Raider, I would love a Hot Toys Lara based on the new design, with all her weapons and gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hot Toys, maybe. Sideshow is a pass for me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
