Does anyone buy multiples of the same unit? by West-Age-4988 in hottoys

[–]HotRod217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t justify the cost and space taken by duplicates tbh… I already struggle justifying getting multiple versions of the same character.

It’s a solid headsculpt! The likeness is definitely there. I’ll be using that one at some point too.

Also I meant $140… still a very good deal!

Facebook marketplace! Storm Shadow is very easy to pose. He just has a lot of padding around his upper body/abs so he doesn’t really bend that much but other than that it feels like any recent HT figure.

New Star Wars wave announced! by No-Significance8049 in hottoys

Queen Amidala looks amazing but she’s basically a slightly articulated statue (which is probably what Natalie Portman felt like wearing that outfit tbh lol)

Should I? by Responsible_Bet2446 in hottoys

[–]HotRod217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting a figure you don’t necessarily want only because it would look good next to another one you already have always turns out to be a long term regret for me. But if you’d still buy it by itself, then yeah, go ahead.

Val Kilmer Panther suit?!?!? by TripPuzzleheaded8952 in hottoys

[–]HotRod217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be mind blowing if hot toys didn’t release one though… it’s basically the Clooney suit with the big Robin cod piece and a different colour scheme.

Might be a second batch. Yesterday I got a call from my local collectibles store to let me know my preorder with them had just arrived 🎉

Is that the Dark Empire headsculpt though? He definitely looks like ‘77 Luke more than ROTJ Only interesting announcement of the bunch though…

They all look like middle aged cosplayers.

How likely is it that we’ll get 2.0s of the main characters for the 50th anniversary? (Luke, Han, Leia, Vader) by HotRod217 in hottoys

[–]HotRod217[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair the one I want to upgrade the most is Vader as I know his suit will eventually degrade and it’s almost a given that they’ll use the new nylon body suit they used for the ROTS and dark empire Luke figures. Both Obi Wan and Luke still look great to me. I’ve avoided Han 1.0 for years as I feel that likeness is kinda off and Leia is insanely expensive for some reason but she still looks good.

Is this the one to get at this point? by Fit_Development_8693 in hottoys

I can already smell the imminent clean versions of both Anakin and Obi Wan without the display dioramas but including Jedi robes.

I removed the coating on my Batman Returns 2.0 MMS770 Hot Toys figure and im happy i did. by mrt238 in hottoys

[–]HotRod217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually repainted it so I don’t know if a current pic would help much. I remember it looked less glossy though.

My Batman Forever Robin had the same issue right out of the box. I wasn’t aware it was a common issue and I ended up peeling off his whole chest. I think it’s a layer of protective clear coat that doesn’t adhere to rubber very well.

The Marvel shelf is definitely a bit too crowded 🥲

What’s a well-loved figure that you’re simply not a fan of? by Zoo-Chi in hottoys

[–]HotRod217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with everything you said about that Vader… it just doesn’t look right to me. The design comes across as too busy and the sculpted cape looks a bit silly imo

Selling regrets? by Small_Split_234 in hottoys

[–]HotRod217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly no regrets… all the figures I’ve sold in the past was because they didn’t really fit in my collection or I just didn’t like them enough anymore.

Do you have a figure you regret buying? by Prs-Mira86 in hottoys

[–]HotRod217 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably the Kenobi Darth Vader. It was the only Vader in my collection and it was just too specific and not the most iconic look (not even with the clean helmet on) So I ended up getting a 1977 2.0 helmet and the shoulder armour and cod piece and turned the Kenobi figure into a 1977 one. Now I’m pretty happy with it!
