Kostisfire Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 OT: Is anyone planning on Pre-Ordering the 7b 11th Doc tomorrow? I'm kinda on the fence about it since he costs nearly as much as Han and Chewie, but I prefer this version to the first fig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm not thrilled with the face on the Winter Soldier Black Widow. Something looks...severely off. Manish. Glad I kept my Avengers one. Forgot all about the 7B Doctor. Don't event want him for Matt, i want the free Peter head. At this point i've liked his "The Caretaker" and "Robots of Sherwood" costumes the best so they shouldn't be too hard to customize a decent 12th.

luke314pi Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I am passing on him - I like the sculpt better on the original 11th Doctor figure. I also passed on the grinning 4th Doctor head. It just seemed off to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Unofficial Judge Dredd figure has been released. I'm pretty excited about it. https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/1959758_572496139542751_7637786476014656971_n.jpg?oh=1c66215560a8d8a5fd5eb94e9fe87d60&oe=54B02210&__gda__=1422299019_5e71dbd4d38b90c5b1ea4a44c1f64686 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Did you get it K80? Mine is supposed to be in my hands next week. I am really impressed with pics so far and a little surprised that it actually happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Yeah, I pre-ordered it. These bootleg figures have a tendency to get made despite what licensors try to do to stop them. One funny example was the bootleg Metal Gear figure from a couple years back. The company was targeted by Hot Toys, and released a letter apologizing and saying they weren't going to release it. Then, they just released it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Did SSF completely outlaw any discussion of this figure? I don't see anything about it anymore, at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 There is some in the thread devoted to the movie. I believe the license holders threatened Darklord Dave somehow. That's usually when he'll totally censor something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I just won a Sideshow 1/6 Batman from one of their Twitter contests. I've been considering getting one for a while now but just haven't pulled the trigger. Now I don't have to because I got one free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Congrats! I would definitely take one of those for free, but can't justify the $200 price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) I think they are Han and Luke, but they haven't revealed that yet. Just a hunch...Khev was speculating that these might be released separately, and as a two pack with Exclusive Han and Luke heads. That idea makes a lot of sense to me.

Mysterious Stranger Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Looks like Hot Toys is coming out with a battle damaged Robocop and Officer Murphy set. If I was a bigger Robocop fan I'd have to get a Murphy but I'm just not that into the films. Still cool that they're bringing him to market though. Never would have thought to make a Murphy figure. Now if he comes with swappable shotgun blasted hand and battle damaged gear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Those actually went up for pre-order today. A very impressive set. I enjoy Robocop, but not enough to get these figures (fortunately for my checking account). http://www.sideshowtoy.com/collectibles/robocop-robocop-battle-damaged-version-alex-murphy-hot-toys-902285/ Edited October 11, 2014 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I'm tempted but really only for Murphy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glantern Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 That's a great looking figure. I don't think I'll be getting one, but I would be unable to pass up a Fassbender Magneto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Up for pre-order now. $250! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokash Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Why is this so expensive? What happened to the good ol days of a " human" figure ( widow, Thor, hawkeye) being $189 - $210? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Name brand recognition, I assume. A figure that costs 180, which comes with like 7 or 8 accessories and maybe even 2 looks are done, where as a figure that 250 and only comes with an accessory or 2 (if you get the exclusive edition) has made a lot of Hot Toys an easy skip for me.Whats funny though, is that Wolverine got shown off and put up for pre-order within like a day... Ripley, on the other hand, has been months and still no preorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Received my SSC Batman today. Can't wait to get home and play with him. Looks really cool in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 I got the new Terminator last night. It didn't blow me away initially, but with some modding of the neck and futzing I've turned this and my old bash into two pretty sweet figures that I'm happy with.

Mysterious Stranger Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Opened up my SSC Batman over the weekend. I like him a lot. I went with the short-eared cowl and a simple standing, batarang ready pose. I do wish he came with an unmasked head with folded back cloth cowl for those "working in the Cave" moments. And I really miss the cape having a wire around the edges for posing. But seeing as I got this one for free I won't criticize too harshly. I might go ahead and add a wire to the sides of the cape as the sewn edges are already there. Overall I really like this guy a lot. Can't wait to see how my fave Green Lantern turns out. I'll definitely be shelling out for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
