New design means new merchandise to sell for every company.
Yeah, the Iron Patriot is Rhodey's armor in the movie so it technically is War Machine, it just
never actually appears in the traditional War Machine colors in the movie so this really is a case of Hot Toys and every other company milking a recolor. This version of the suit has only appeared in the Iron Man 3 Prelude comic so far.
Is that Cammy you got, the same as the one below?...
I dont collect or really own any figurine thingys, but I always REALLY wanted this Cammy model. It looks so good. What did you pay for it, in USD?
There's one available at Jungle for 10,500 yen [sealed]:

Finally broke down and bought Buddy. Got her for $64.70 shipped from ebay, and I kind of regret it. While it's not a bad price, i've seen it from JP sites for almost the same price for opened/ B/B condition. No idea what shape this is in. At least there's no reports of it being bootlegged.

Also considering the Big Chap from Medicom, best looking version imo.
Fucking awesome.
I have the Revoltech Xenomorph, and I thought that was untouchable, but this is on a whole 'nother level (an much bigger too!)

Suit 1 and 2 differences

I much prefer the original War Machine colors on Suit 2 rather than the Iron Patriot color scheme.
Any reason why the gun turret behind his shoulder is swapped? On the Iron Patriot it's on the right shoulder. Or is it removable?

I believe the turret is articulated.

Suit 1 looks soo much better to me, love that bulkiness

Agreed. The Iron Man armor is the one that's usually got a more streamlined look.

UGH. Original suit is amazing by comparison. I'll have to track it down.
I sort of tune them out most of the time. As mentioned, Hot Toys gets to screwing that horse a little too often for my tastes. I'd wish they would focus on some of their other licenses but Iron Man sells for them so it's hard to blame them.

I need moar Predaor! and some new Alien shit would be nice as well
I got a question.
It's not actually figure related, but it's of a similar variety. How quick is EMS compared to SAL? I've never had a problem with SAL. It's usually 2 weeks tops, but I was planning on getting the new Kamen Rider PS3 title and I was thinking about splurging a little extra to get it sooner. I just wanted to know if it would be worth it.

EMS shipments can reach me as fast as 3-4 days from Japan --> Canada. It usually breezes through customs too, where my Registered SAL shipments can sit for days.
It does have a higher tendency to be taxed, though, but thankfully it doesn't happen too often here in Canada [usually on the larger shipments, but not often on the smaller ones].
I use EMS since I combine my orders from AmiAmi into single shipments and the choice between SAL Parcel and EMS is easy to make [SAL Parcel is slow, expensive, has no tracking, and isn't insured]. Even without that, I tend to use EMS as my delivery of choice, since I hate waiting. Yes, I am impatient!
Either way, it's between EMS or Registered SAL. I absolutely need tracking/insurance of any sort, so I never go with basic SAL.
EMS is 2-3 days max for me.

Does anyone know a store which still allows to pre-order Hot Toys The Avengers Iron Man Mark VII 1/6th scale? It was still available at Sideshow Collection till yesterday, but not anymore. (I had to wait for my payment. Sigh) Or how high are the chances to get it via the wait list?
I should have decided earlier to get it. Regret it now.

just get on the Waitlist ASAP so you'll have a better chance. Hard to say if you'll get it.

I need Hawkeye. Shouldn't have skipped him initially. The only other figure I want out of the Avengers set.You might be able to still order it from BBTS I think no?
edit: Sold out at BBTS, keep checking though once the Avengers HT releases they usually stay in stock for a while.
In any case, AVENGERS PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED!
Maybe I was unlucky and got the second shipment.

I found it on eBay for US$105.
One of my favorites.

You think Hot Toy prices are insane, have you seen the enterbay ones?
What's insane is once your okay with Hot Toy prices, you then convince yourself enterbay prices aren't so bad either, then you buy one.
I just got my second one today. The battle damaged T-800, £350, coupled with my Joker this is my $1000 shelf. Sorry for the crappy pics.

Difference being scale. Easier to convince yourself of that extra $100 dollars for the Enterbay figure when you get that 1/4th scale piece as opposed to 1/6th scale.
I was lucky, I bought my Enterbay Joker on sale at a local comic book store. They had it up for $360 base price and the store was having a 20% off everything sale for the day. I ended up paying just below $300 for it. Had they had the Enterbay Batman figure I would have dropped $600 that day. lol.
That Terminator figure is gorgeous. I have the same battle damaged version coming from Hot Toys (I have the regular one from Hot Toys already).

It's funny, Hawkeye was the only figure I really wanted from the release. Then they announced the Avengers version of BW, so I bit. Thus, I have Strike Team Delta complete.
Preferred Mk. VII over Mk. VI so I preordered Mk. VII (waiting on him to ship) and then Coulson was kindly preordered by my LCS so I'll get him whenever he ships.
Not sure if I'll go back and get the others, such as Cap, Fury or Thor, but I may one of these days.
My Pit and Pittoo came in today!
Just finished putting them up.
I'm a little disappointed though.
These really are super small. I didn't realize it in the earlier pics, since I don't have those other Nintendo toys or anything, but now.
Pit's neck really sticks out for me.
It's probably cause of the brown hair (cause Pittoo looks fine), but it's just so long, and I can't get over it.
It's probably just me, but I can't get a proper angle for his left arm/hand plus arrow to line up with the Palutena Bow (I even used the longer extension, and it's still kinda awkward).
Pit's clothes get in the way of posing him properly (again, 1st Figma, so this might be a common thing), so that's annoying as well.
The Monoeye is ok, but it would've been nice to have a taller stand as well, so Pit can chase it down properly.
Pittoo fares better overall, I think.
His neck looks fine, and I guess cause I didn't go with the Silver Bow (stuck with his Dark Pit Staff), his pose isn't quite as awkward.
Though it is a shame that the Dark Pit Staff only works with a single left hand piece, so I can't really get him to pose properly in an attack stance (since I stuck with his close-mouthed face); just got him like doing a little chase or something like that.
The Dark Pit Staff is pretty pointy though, I dug in a little too deep and pricked my finger without realizing it.
Yeah, mainly disappointed with the size and Pit's neck.

I've just got a slight case of buyers remorse, same thing happened when I got my second Hot Toy figure last year. I'm trying to justify my purchase, or rather live with what I had to give up to get it, in this case the 1/4 Hot Toys Endo.
You also got a hell of a deal, base price for the Joker in the UK was £299, which is like $465, by the time I got him 5 weeks ago I had to pay £350, which is like $546. I'd have loved to have even paid $360 for him, but UK shipping and customs fee's mean that the local dealers all have to cover that and then make something out of it.
The 1/6 Terminator your getting looks just as awesome for different reasons, I gave up the extra versatility and tons of parts and articulation for the likeness and uber shelf presence the Enterbay's bring.
I think I'm gonna stick to 1/6 from now on though, it's not the price that's putting me off but lack of space. That and a 1 1/2 year old son that means everything has to be well out of reach, and I don't want these guys on top of a shelf so high I can't see them.

Suit 1 blows the second out of the water, War Machine is practically defined by his bulky and heavily armed suit.

Hmmmm I wonder if that collector likes Final Fantasy 7 the most in the series...
XD
Is it wrong that I kinda want this Batman cause he has a katana? Even though I haven't seen him using one that much..

Speaking of FF7, are these worth anything monetarily? I bought them impulsively a few years ago.
Sorry for the shitty pics.

Aaand delivered!
He is such a beaut. Totally worth the wait and money! Anyone who ordered this figure will not regret it, he is perfection.

^Now that is a great looking figure. I haven't the slightest idea who it is or what he's from, but that's not important.
I don't know what that first character is from, but I want it, and I don't even really collect figures.
I got mine too, put him together yesterday. I went back and forth so many times wondering if I should cancel him or not, because he's so expensive and I wanted my figure collecting to wane down a bit. He wasn't a character I was familiar with anyway. But now that I have him I'm really glad I didn't cancel; he's gorgeous.
You know, after having him preordered since the day he went up, looking at the official photos pretty frequently, I never knew he had long hair until I pulled him out of the box.
It's Drossel from Fireball. The Figma (the smaller one) is cheaper at 40-60 depending on what site you can find it at.
The bigger one, good luck. :lol
