luke314pi Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I wasn't planning on getting Hawkeye, since I am trying to cut down on my HT purchases, but damnit these in-hand photos look good.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Yeah, I've been sitting on the fence with Hawkeye for awhile now. Love the comic character, really pretty disappointed with how they treated him in the film. But. . .Hot Toys Hawkeye. I think I might sell my Ghost Rider and use the funds for Hawkeye.

Twisted Two-Face Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Looks like one of the best Hot Toys has produced, and it helps that he's my favorite Avenger. Hoping my wait list converts, waited too long getting funds together for him. In-hand pics look fantastic; love that pointing pose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zylek Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Looks awesome, I cannot wait to have him in my case to go with Fury. HT nailed this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 These are really pretty. I like how there's no joints. (And yes, before you ask, I thought Leonidas was 'pretty' too.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I'm not sure what's better, how impractical those swimsuits are or the fact they have wrist gauntlets for the beach. Very sharp, but the solid rubber is just waiting to be trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 $400 metal 1/6 Threepio! Very sharp, but the solid rubber is just waiting to be trouble. I'm sure it won't be a problem...for what Dino has in mind... (JK, Dino!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Is the Sideshow Freaks forum down, or did my company finally block the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 It's down. I canceled a few HT preorders. The prices are starting to hurt, and my collection is getting too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Thanks for confirming, Luke. What did you cancel? Have you seen the potential travesty that might be Hot Toys Luke Skywalker? I sent you an email btw, when you get a moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I cancelled all of the Batman stuff (just sticking with Marvel for now) and Avengers Thor and Hulk (I think better versions will be on the horizon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm going to stick it out with the Avengers releases, though. If Luke Skywalker and DKR Batman look nearly as bad as the initial crappy pictures have indicated, I may drop them too. PERS is really starting to become a nuisance and is ruining what could be great sculpts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Just got an e-mail from sideshow telling me that my Hawkeye is processing and should be here by the end of the month. Looking forward to him, but it's starting to set in just how long it's going to take to finish the Avengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 PERS is really starting to become a nuisance and is ruining what could be great sculpts. PERS has been an unnecessary detriment to figures more than it has been a benefit IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 You getting that Justin? I just ordered the VIP membership, and am now waiting to see how I can get my 10% discount. This is the one I've been waiting for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yeah, I'm definitely in! I'm probably going to cash in all 3 VIP painted heads on this release too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 That's right. Your daughter's name is Ripley, right? Hardcore to get all 3 heads of Ripley!! Do you have specific looks you are going to attempt to bash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Right! Not really planning on bashing any other figures at this time, but the headsculpt could pass for an ALIENS release (more than the HT figure) so I may use one for that until they decide to do an ALIENS release. I may hold onto the other heads to recoup some costs down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Your named your daughter Ripley? That is actually really very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thanks, we were trying to come up with a unique name, and I suggested it as a joke (along with Hermione, Leia, Buffy, etc) and my wife really liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) We've actually got a second on the way, and I suggested that as a girl's name after hearing about your situation Wife was pretty receptive of it, as well, but she doesn't want her/him to have too unusual of a name so we'll probably go with something a bit more boring. As for resale value, I'm probably gonna pick up one Iminime head with the explicit purpose of reselling to offset some of the VIP costs. Will wait and see what else they come up with for the rest of the year for that one, but right now it would probably be Neo.

karamazov80 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Thanks. Sometime in March. Not sure of gender yet, though! Edited October 12, 2012 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
