I don't think this GR will sell out fast unless they made very miniscule quantities. I'll probably pick it up since I doubt we'll get the Johnny Blaze Rider. That's my fave version.

But I'm not 100% sure I want it.

I can still order SS Harley from BBTS. Even Wonder Woman's sold out over there.
Higher print run obviously.

I think i'm gonna purchase my first 1/6 scale figure.
HT Kylo Ren or SS Darth Maul?!
Or maybe a nice Trooper?!
Any recommandations?

Something that isn't a Sideshow figure. Are you dead set on Star Wars?

Yeah, only Star Wars and only baddies.
Hot Toys! SS quality is meh
Hey, give me a break. I don't have the spa (or money) to buy figures willy nilly. I'm not like you
I think it's better to wait for a HT Maul. SS supposedly aren't that good.

You got some slim pickings on that front. I'd wait on Kylo since a better version will probably go up for order on Force Friday and ship around the time the movie hits. So get their Boba Fett. Great figure.

For 1/6 figures, SS quality just doesn't come close to HT. I sold all my SS 1/6 Star Wars figures. Their proportions and sculpts are just bad. I recommend waiting for HT to release more baddies.

Oh you have 1/4 Boba? Never mind. Maybe grab a Snowtrooper then?

I was actually waiting for the 1/4 scale Stormtrooper and Vader from HT.
But from what i've heard they may never get released.
And because of this thread i'm getting out of control and i'm looking into a nice 1/6 scale.
Damn all of you!!!
Yes. What an awesome figure.
Snowtrooper you say......
HT Palpatine and ROTJ Vader should be coming soon with ROTJ Luke being posted for preorder. Also Episode VIII baddies if you're interested in the newer movies. I wonder if we'll finally get Kylo sans helmet.

That's pretty cool but I think I'll skip this one. I have the other two and the only reason I want this one is for the accessories. Maybe I can get them off ebay or something.

I told my wife. Told her I have 13 months to scrape $200 together. She was cool, she then asked if she could order some makeup and I of course said yes.

Yeah but the Civil War suit is way better than the new suit. So you should buy both. Buy an actual decent character for once in your life Messi.
They also have Kylo Ren for $135, Boba Fett for $141 and $156, Ultron Prime for $225, and Thanos for like $260. I got the only Wolverine apparently.
I'd buy Kylo and Thanos at that price

Well since you're outside the US I imagine shipping would be awful so just be jealous of the good deals we get instead. Seems more appropriate given our relationship anyway.
What if I told you I am on US soil m8.

Messi knowing that somewhere in the US you exist would put me on some Punisher like mission.

Has anyone heard anything about the Guyver 3 pre-orders? Was talking about it with a friend earler and found it strange Ami-ami haven't at least been in touch about shipping details by now? It's out this month and we're half way through already.
I would recommend Kylo - he's a really fun posable figure with nothing that will degrade (IE rubber limbs or thin clothing). Also you can get him for pretty cheap, like 170 shipped. Sideshow makes some great figures but compared to HT even now the quality always feels a bit off.
I really hate Batfleck but that battle damaged one looks pretty stellar, I may have to get him . . . but then I'll need a Supes too. Anyone picking up Ghost Rider? He looks like he has high play / display value.
Also while figuring out poses last night I decided to go with this for my MK46.

Marvel Legends Gamora arrived today and it's absolutely crazy how good this looks. I think this is the best looking Marvel Legends I've ever seen, the likeness of Zoe Saldana is like 90% accurate and all the paint is flawlessly applied. There's nothing out of place or chipped or warped. Was there sorcery involved in the making of this figure?
I think I need Nebula now.
Apologies for the crappy phone pic. Don't have my camera with me right now.

Thanks for the heads up that the Toy Fair figures are pre-orderable now. Just pre-ordered the battle damaged Armored Batman myself. It looks like a definite upgrade compared to the vanilla Armored Batman and he can actually crouch now (which was a large reason why I didn't buy the vanilla version).
All I need now from BvS is a Lex Luthor/Doomsday double pack from Hot Toys.
