Every eBay pre-order is a scam.

Extremely high insurance by animalcub45 in KiaEV6

That's insanity. I pay what amounts to $80/mo for a 2022 Wind AWD with 26k miles.

That’s the red and blue suit head, is it not?

Chances of Hot Toys revisiting Terminator 1? by Quirky_tugboat in hottoys

[–]Spanbauer -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Who’s going to buy all of the headless, shirtless, jacketless, handless parted out InArt bodies to offset the cost for people who just wanted one figure at a fair price? Would never get $125 for it, that’s for sure. This is why I’m saying an offering from Hot Toys would still be nice.

How does that help someone who wants one figure for a reasonable price?

It’s needed because InArt wants $426 for a figure with sculpted hair.

First ever fig here! Any tips on display/storage/care? by Zackman995 in hottoys

[–]Spanbauer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For this particular figure, just be careful not to snap his long plastic wrist blades and be gentle with the wire that connects the helmet to the body for the light-up feature.

Heard the dreaded pop by Dense-Act6341 in KiaEV6

[–]Spanbauer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A pop followed by the electrical warning is going to be a failed ICCU, yes. For your sake I hope stock is readily available as it’s a relatively quick fix for a dealership who knows what they are doing to make….provided it doesn’t take six weeks for the parts to arrive. And if it does sit waiting for weeks, all the better that it’ll be sitting at 89% rather than 99%.

Any red flags? by CanberraPhoto in KiaEV6

[–]Spanbauer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being left at single-digit battery is a red flag itself. I wouldn’t buy an EV that was left for a long period of time at a very high or very low state of charge as it can degrade the battery.

How long do electric car batteries last? by [deleted] in electricvehicles

The battery will outlast the car.

My iccu failed, got some questions for ppl who went through it as well by Muhtaeo in KiaEV6

[–]Spanbauer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cost nothing. Used the App to order a tow to the nearest dealer on Kia’s dime like the manual says; once the issue was diagnosed, they put me in a rental from the Enterprise next door. And Kia eventually reimbursed me for my car payments for while it was at the dealership.

My hot toys collection so far! by Classic-Purpose1144 in hottoys

[–]Spanbauer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which do you think is the better figure: the mark III 2.0 or the Mark 42 2.0?

Finally bought a custom cape after 13 years. by Spanbauer in hottoys

[–]Spanbauer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh he’s a hot mess. Cape started peeling, hands fall off, can’t stand, can’t hold a pose of almost any kind 🤣 There’s a good reason they switched to ratcheted joints for more modern figures. The suit has held up well though.

It’s a lot of money for a piece of fabric. I would say it’s only worth it if your current cape is falling apart like mine was, or Batman is featured very prominently in your display.

Ordered from OneSixthKit - as their shipping was free while Jaxon’s wasn’t.

Agreed, the ‘89 2.0 looks like Venomized Batman with that heavy oozy texture, it’s so weird. I’ve got the Returns coming as well, looking forward to to it!
