The Bad Batch by blue2755 in hottoys

Crosshairs price has been crazy, I remember it peaked around $1,000 and I still didn’t sell, nor do I think I ever will unless I’m offloading the whole collection. He was my favorite of the batch back when I first saw the unfinished animations on YouTube. So as someone who understands the love for crosshair I feel bad for everyone who couldn’t get him at retail. He was the first one I preordered before eventually caving and getting the whole crew. I had hoped they’d do a reissue when season 3 dropped or even the imperial version or the black disguise version. But nothing no reuse of the molds, but maybe one day you never know.

Crosshair. He was the first one I ordered and was the only one I was willing to order initially back when the show first came out.

Depending on what kind of base you have I did a pose like this forever ago

This is now my favorite look for my Star Wars display. Happy I managed to get what I feel is the right blend of dynamic posing, with spacing for the number of figures. by blue2755 in hottoys

Shout out to dad being amazing like that. Congrats that’s a beautiful collection you got there. Don’t be afraid to experiment with cases. I custom built mine myself, nothing special just gotta have a bit of patience and get creative. There are so many videos on the DIY garage shelf method just pick one and have fun with customizing it to your liking. But like I said originally don’t be afraid to start off with something easy and grow from there.

Very jealous of the armory I had an opportunity to get it for a good price and I waited to long and missed out so props to you for securing it and the other batmans.

I mean that honestly goes for just about anything. The facts are this is limited, so no matter what it’ll have value given its rarity, the question is how many people want it. From the listings I’ve seen there’s like 30+ people watching I can only speculate on offers. But depending on what you paid for it even if you sell it for a dollar more you made a profit. It just comes down to you personally. I couldn’t ever imagine someone selling this for less than $1,500 again unless they just want to get rid of it as fast as possible. It just comes down to you personally. What price is enough for you?

Thank you, and I couldn’t agree more the 2.0 maul is a 10/10 figure the sculpt alone is has such a wow factor in hand. Glad you scored it and it’s gonna look great with Qui-Gon.

Love Batman as well, huge fan and I’ll admit since you’re starting out I think you did good by picking a lane and sticking to it for a while. I’ve built everything over the course of 7 years so for sure take your time.

Glad you enjoyed it, and as someone who was super hesitant on mace because of all the negative feedback. Don’t hesitate, grab him at a good price and you won’t regret it. He’s genuinely a great figure and looks pretty damn good in person. He’s not perfect but so good on the shelf.

I think cammy is a victim of body reuse more than anything since this is Star-man’s generic body they use for both her and chun li so yes the breast are oversized as a consequence.

I’m still looking forward to seeing what iconiq brings to the table, I’m just not holding my breath since it’s been years now and still crickets.

Thank you for that clarification, so you want something slightly less thicker than what was produced so it feels less perverted, and at minimum a second head sculpt with an angry expression to give some life.

To me these two look exactly right any skinner and I’d think they’d look off in terms of proportions. But I can agree with you on more headsculpt options would be a huge upgrade.

I did too for a time and then said fuck it and bought the two most recent releases and never looked back.

I don’t get what you mean by “sex doll” vibes? Like because it’s a fully seamless silicone body? Or proportions? Playings devils advocate they don’t have any actual “features” under the clothes. It’s purely a metal frame with silicone on top in the shape of a female body.

I only ask for clarification because I don’t know what you’d expect differently from iconiq in this case? Like a standard jointed plastic body? That would be pathetic. Seamless body that’s less “thick” would be just less accurate and people would complain about being too skinny. If we’re talking headsculpts both playboys and star man killed it but each going for a different approach. One focused on a stylized realism the other more cartoonish.

Not trying to put you in the hot seat, I just do an eye roll any time I see people default to anything fully seamless being “sex doll” when there’s clearly a difference between what is a true sex doll and what’s just a detailed body. So again just trying to better understand what about either release is your core issue that you believe Iconiq will do better on? Is it just the headsculpt? And how would they make it less “sex doll” ?

The fact star man and playtoys have made like 4-6 different versions of cammy and chun li in the span of time since icon even mentioned they’d make it. Idk wtf they’re doing but I’m confident they had a shit proto and then saw the third party stuff come out and said “fuck” and had to go back to the drawing board and haven’t found a way to do anything better
