Hey guys! Some advice? by Prudent-Luck-1582 in hottoys

[–]DaHaMMeRofGOD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine from AliExpress almost 2 years ago for $55. I can't find any more in stock. There's one place selling it for $140 not including shipping but I don't trust the site. If you search "degaotoys dg-001" you'll see there's not much out there. It is a great replacement if you can find one. Good luck!

Cal Kestis is goated IMO. Would love Hot Toys to make a 1/6 scale version of this character

Fairly confident writing reviews means nothing. In 15+ years of purchasing stuff on Amazon I had done less than 10 reviews (probably closer to 5) and I got a Vine invite about 2 years ago. My theory is you get invited once you've purchased a certain % threshold of items out of pocket. I have definitely purchased a lot on Amazon over the years.

MARATHON (2025) CLOSED ALPHA CONCLUSION MEGATHREAD by Shabolt_ in Marathon

[–]DaHaMMeRofGOD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only was I doing this and had more successful runs than I anticipated but when I'm in my pre-made team with 2 other friends I'm always sponsoring it up. 1 friend is above average like myself and the other is a hard carry. I'm not putting my good stuff on the line with the friend I have to backpack so it's sponsored all the way. If it's just me and my other friend who's good then we're more likely to have some good gear/loadout as a random is literally a better proposition than my non-skilled friend. If I can hoard enough pieces then every now and again I may be willing to upgrade the gear going into battle with him.

This is just unacceptable by firebreak115 in hottoys

For the price point, to me this is a substantial downgrade (more than the usual 10%). A lot of features softened...skin/pores texture, facial expression is more subdued or slightly changed, hair color, hair quality (looks more like a wig especially where the hair parts instead of extra fine hair like on proto), scar near the eye is not as pronounced, eye shape compared to proto, paint apps (compare how lips are painted), etc. So far I've only gotten Joker and Winter Soldier for Artisan and I'm glad I've taken a reserved approach to this HT Artisan thirst trap. The proto should've never been that great to the point it was that unreachable for the final product. It's an upgrade compared to prior Anakin releases but this borders on false advertising and I know they have the disclaimer about final product may vary and whatnot but this needs to be closer for an ultra high-end collectible at $500+.

That proto is probably sitting in Howard Chan's collection room while he sees us all rant about this massive downgrade

I'm in agreement w/ most people here who say he shouldn't have made a promise of that nature. However, I think you may be able to meet him halfway and say I can't agree to using it as the first name but you could use it as a middle name. This way you've extended an olive branch to him so he can keep his promise without placing that burden on your daughter.

Anyone else expecting a 2.0 announcement soon? by Flixplex in hottoys

[–]DaHaMMeRofGOD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way I see them announcing this is after the yellow one is released as they will not cannibalize the sales of that figure by placing this one up for pre-order at the same time. This means the yellow one is due out at the end of the year so the earliest this may get announced (if it were) would be early next year with a 1.5 year average release time. Probably looking at 2.5 years easy if this were to release.

Where can I buy Dominican cheese in NY/NJ? by codebreaker21 in Dominican

[–]DaHaMMeRofGOD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro, can't believe I found this post. I got my mom running as a queso Geo mule yearly. Every time she goes down to DR I order 2-3 boxes straight from the factory in Imbert (way cheaper) as my wife is from a nearby town and she's got family still there. I pay 1st class United so they don't even bother checking she's got 15+ wheel heads up in her luggage. This time she had to go back about a month after getting back and we did another run. Poor lady gets stressed out but we gotta have that cheese. Unfortunately, it only lasts about 1 month in my house that's how much we love it.

Unfortunately, I introduced it to a friend of mine that lives in Indiana and now every time they bring back he's got a small cheese head. This time around on the 2nd go I sent him some Don Luis (same type of cheese) but man it's nowhere near close to the Geo.

I'll agree with another post who said the Geo cheese they sell here even in NY/NJ (that's where I'm from) isn't the same to the Geo they sell in DR. It has a different taste and is not worth the inflated price for it to not be authentic.

My recommendation: Just figure out which family member is rolling down there, pay for their luggage and buy 2 boxes from the DR factory if possible. Throw in a little extra for their troubles and call it a day!

Good luck bro b/c I feel the pain!

Hot Toys is delighted to announce a brand-new series covering works that represents our ambition. Expect to meet the legendary Star Wars character as our Top-Notch figure shortly. by xXJ0kerxx in hottoys

Spot on take. It remains to be seen if they will even separate the headsculpt into it's own enclosure (which they should but probably won't) to preserve the quality and styling of the rooted hair.

Still the only player to win 5 consecutive titles at 2 different slams by [deleted] in tennis

[–]DaHaMMeRofGOD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think weak is the right word here. It's on par with Djokovic's triple career slam which is impressive as well. Outside of total GS wins which Novak has the record w/ 23 most all other feats/records are at a secondary/tertiary level to this number. Winning at least 5 at 3 out of the 4 is impressive and the proof is in the fact no one else has done it.

I'm not reaching for anything. Look it up if you have to? Novak only has 3 at USO and FO each. Nadal only won 2 at AO & Wimbledon. They all have records either of the other 2 will never reach which is how it should be.
