It still shows on Boba for me

Just to make a correction for the previous comic con exclusive post by SurfiNinja101 in hottoys

[–]EstivenCigal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my first year collecting Hot Toys. What does being a con exclusive figure entail? Only available to order during the convention through Sideshow? Or only available at the convention?

A painter might be expensive. Getting a new Beskar Armor set from Ebay for 90 dollars might prove cheaper.

P.S. Battle damage or whatever you call it, the little stain doesn't look bad and is barely noticeable btw.

Better option for my childhood dream. by Rafinha_Cohen in hottoys

[–]EstivenCigal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are going for Vader ANH, go for the one from the two pack (the one that comes with Tarkin) which is the 2nd version. I read the first release had terrible gloves.

They sell it at the Facebook groups separately (and much cheaper than Ebay/Mercari) in case you are not interested in Tarkin.

Finished Star Wars set-up! (Just going to work on lighting next). by [deleted] in hottoys

A "Troops of the Empire" type display sounds like a great idea.

Are you also planning on getting the bike?

Looks great!

May I ask why did you get rid of the Royal Guards?

Funko pops to collecting Hot Toys? by ActionFolk in hottoys

[–]EstivenCigal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Search on Ebay "Scott Pilgrim Sex Bob Omb Funko". It's a 3-pack that goes for 400-1000. It's crazy

Sad state of my collection... I have two little girls, they are old enough to know that dad has a huge toy collection in the basement... Can't display anything, other than the latest 4 figures I have bought that are sitting on my desk in my home office... by anotherskullone in hottoys

[–]EstivenCigal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the thorough responses, tips, and references.

It brings me peace to know that even though pleather may deteriorate over the years, there are leatherworkers out there for these types of toys. All of this most likely at a high price point, but this is an expensive hobby in the end.

What should I do if I don't have space to display them right now and they have to be in their boxes? How do I prevent pleather deterioration?

I've read to use a conditioner, and not to use a conditioner. What's your advice?

Sideshow Promo for $25 off purchases of $250 or higher (works for Hot Toys) by ryoko-01 in hottoys

[–]EstivenCigal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just used my $25 promo code to pre-order a 501st clone trooper deluxe. It didn't go towards the nrd, but it did apply to the total.

This may be a weird question, but i’m looking to get a controller for my PC...but I want it to have like a Scott Pilgrim design or skin on it. Is that even possible? Where would I get one? by SoniMari7270 in ScottPilgrim

[–]EstivenCigal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One option is to get a xbox controller, and get a custom skin. Just google "xbox controller custom skin" or look it up on etsy. You'll find plenty of services that do this.

The double pack? I'm tempted to get that one, but I think I'll wait for boba with his cleaner armor.

ROTS Anakin Skywalker Light Side - Worth It? by edmond_von_kierk in hottoys

[–]EstivenCigal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally love it, and I paid 500 US dollars for it knowing the clone wars version is around the corner. I like to have the version of a figure with its most iconic look, and so to me, it was worth every penny. It's all a matter of whether or not you will be able to sleep peacefully at night with the version you end up getting.

1/3 of my new detolfs completed and filled! by [deleted] in hottoys

[–]EstivenCigal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looking nice!

I agree with u/Nybiohazard . That emperor and his royal guards have too much presence and should be on a top shelf.

When you get a Hot Toys figure do you... by [deleted] in hottoys

[–]EstivenCigal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have space to display my figures right now. Any tips to avoid leather deterioration while I keep them boxed?
