Where is Kipp? Someone make sure he's okay.
Maybe the don't want to produce the arm for Rey. I don't own such a Hot Toys figure but Finn and Kylo seem to have Arms with batteries and a switch, so shey would need to make this for Rey too. I can't imagine that being very difficult but it would cost time and money. I wouldn't mind a later release and 10 bucks more and I am pretty sure most people think so too but it seems Hot Toys thinks different.
I'm gonna wait and see when SS updates for this.
Got my Monsterarts Spitfire 2014 Goji in today and he's marvelous. Absolutely love the translucent dorsal plates, and the flame effect part is easily the best beam attack part Tamashii has ever done. The burnt out MUTO head is also really cool, but I forgot to take a picture of it. Looking forward to preordering GMK Goji next week.

Anyone have the Hot Toys Stealth Mark III diecast Iron Man? Is it worth getting? Haven't seen it in person and sometimes the pics and reviews make it look great but then some others make it look like a bit of a weak contribution to the Iron Man line of Hot Toys. I passed on the Mark III diecast first time around so don't feel I would be double dipping with this, but I am a little reluctant to buy it immediately for some reason.
If it has the articulation problems the first Diecast Mark 3 had I would pass. I didn't get either but if you like the color scheme then go for it.

Those pics always get photoshopped fro promo purposes. The text says:
Ah. Thanks for the insight. I've never bought a Hot Toys figure before, let alone with a light up accessory so I had no idea how they work. I was wondering about that since the lightsaber looked so small but I didn't see any contacts on the hilt. Rey is likely to be my first one.
guess they'll save the light up function for a new version and the one with her alt outfit then. i really want that to display her against Kylo.
time to FlexPay

That's a damn good point, I hadn't considered that properly. Do you or anyone else have experience of the Whiplash Mark II Diecast? I know there isn't much metal in it but it does look damn good and it might be an alternative purchase to the Stealth Mark III.

It's a fucking fantastic figure of one of the worst villains in the MCU.
The Mark III Diecast is probably one of the most underwhelming Iron Man figures that Hot Toys has released in a long time. I mean, it looks great, easily outclasses their older Mark III figures, but compared to the usual output from Hot Toys Iron Man figures, it just falls short.
yup

Yes. You decide at checkout how many payments you want to make (1-8 if release is far enough out, otherwise the options decrease in accordance with how many months are left before the product comes out) and then they start charging you X-number of months out from release so that your final payment coincides with the release of the product. So you're all paid up by the time it actually comes out and it isn't left sitting in a warehouse while you're still paying for it.
Ahh that makes is much more clear. Definitely looking into this.
They look great, and quite a lot cheaper than the Hulkbuster set. I might bite.

They don't look bad, but I generally find 1/10 scale kind of insulting.

I ordered Cap. It only boils down to $55/month on Flex Pay.
About to preorder Rey and Finn outright. I did exactly what you did and yes the price is daunting but I should have the funds by the time all of this releases. Outside of bills I don't really need to spend my money on things and I'm only buying a few games this year day 1.

Yep, the final scenes of the movie she is wearing a new outfit.

But that wouldn't make sense if you want a lit lightsaber to fight Kylo Ren =) She'd have to be in the outfit of the existing figure.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
YES YES YES.
So excited.
Lawd, I almost did it again. Not giving me shipping cost without putting in payment information ain't cool with me though. It's probably for the best.
He's fucking glorious
Only thing is this is whips barely light up because the LEDs are pretty weak in them, but other than that the figure is amazing.
What state are you in, I will check for you.
The great state of Canada.
Odd, it won't give me a price either.
The main page for the figure says there are shipping restrictions. I don't know if thsy means they're anti-Canuck. Maybe they just want to save us Canadians from our horrible exchange rate.

They're waiting to see how low the Canadian dollar will go before she gets released.
We have those?

Honestly, don't expect it. I don't see how batteries are going to fit in a female arm.
Can't wait until you get it and see all your pictures of it.
Yup. Even though they tell you they need to change those pictures
Then they shouldn't be photoshopping the lightsaber to look like it is lit up.

I buy off Starbase Collectibles they get their stuff from Sideshow.
And there's Toys Square
You're still paying in USD, but I checked and its the cheapest overall with the state of the dollar and exchange rate.
