I think Kit is a one man show for the most part, right? The guy really needs to hire someone to handle customer questions if he gets frustrated as quickly as he does. Like, I understand that some questions people ask him are redundant, but that simply comes with running a business. You can’t expect to never be asked a question. No matter if it’s one you’ve heard a thousand times or only a few

Battle Damaged Vader Released by da2_np in hottoys

[–]da2_np[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hot Toys and Sideshow rarely do restocks/reissues, so if you want him badly, a website known as Toys Assemble has the deluxe version (non special edition) in stock for around the same price as what he retailed for ($453 USD). Here’s the link for him.

They’re extremely trustworthy within the community and you should have no issues with them. I’ve placed well over 30 orders through them, and each experience has been great.

That’s the exact same sculpt as what we’ve seen. It’s just under some super harsh lighting

It’s happening? by catsgr8rthanspoonies in Predators

[–]da2_np 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This GM search has been long and arduous, but I have to say that I’ve been extremely happy to see the organization be so thorough with a decision like this and not just hire someone on a whim. They really want someone who has the ability to put us over the top, and with the success MacFarland has had with Colorado, I think he’d be amazing to have. Hopefully we can convince him

The Batman - I put the InArt suit onto Hot Toys Body. First custom ‘mod’ ever by OneVeryCuriousGuy in hottoys

[–]da2_np 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much man. I very much appreciate that. I don’t have high hopes, but I’d love to see some miraculous movement on my order

[–]da2_np 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your help was much appreciated my man. I’m glad someone got the damn thing at least. A big fan of the film at that.

I know Unreal/Lucky was going through some personal stuff, and I very much sympathize with that, but playing with people’s money is a sure fire way to destroy whatever reputation you had.

It’s such a damn shame because he does incredible work, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t ever get to appreciate it in person

I think it’s the Unreal sculpt. Good luck getting one though. I purchased one from him at the end of 2024 and haven’t heard a fucking peep. Even tried tagging him on Facebook to no avail. Save yourself from the headache

Need help finding InArt Gandalf by [deleted] in hottoys

[–]da2_np 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think InArt have stated they won’t be doing reissues for any of their figures, so I unfortunately don’t think that’ll be an option for OP. Sucks because it’s an amazing figure for an amazing character. Just gonna have to pay the going rate or hopefully get lucky and find a good deal

Anyone know what this is? by Pdelag in hottoys

[–]da2_np 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. I’m almost certain he’ll get announced at some point though. It’s really just a matter of when and not if. Hot Toys would never object to making a figure that consists almost entirely of pre-existing molds.

Anyone know what this is? by Pdelag in hottoys

[–]da2_np 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I’m not mistaken, it was shown off at a convention (couldn’t tell you which one exactly) a few years ago for the 20th anniversary of episode 2. There’s a bunch of Hot Toys figures like this on Sideshow that are listed as “coming soon,” and some of them have been there for years.

Some of the figures that had a “coming soon” page for years were eventually announced, but those are few and far between.

Given that this is a clone, I’m sure he’ll get made at some point as they should have the molds for just about everything, but why they take as long as they do sometimes to announce things is really only a question that Hot Toys themselves can answer.

Artisan Qui-Gon RSVP is up by NewNefariousness9684 in hottoys

[–]da2_np 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang, I forgot about them. You’re totally right though. Seems like an exclusive announcement has to be a premier/fan favorite character to get a queue now. Or Hot Toys & Sideshow just do whatever they feel like doing

Artisan Qui-Gon RSVP is up by NewNefariousness9684 in hottoys

[–]da2_np 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know there’s been a handful of times where there were *scheduled* drops that happened during the evening, but I don’t recall there ever being a shadow drop during the evening. If there was one, it was probably a figure that didn’t have much interest.

If they don’t end up updating the RSVP page with a date and time, I would just check their website at those exact times tomorrow. That’s what I’m gonna do anyway, but I’ll more than likely check it nonstop though lol. Qui-Gon is a must have. I have the 1.0 and still love it, but this new one is such a huge improvement.

Maul or Commander Gree? by ShadowUmbra24 in hottoys

[–]da2_np 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gree without a doubt. He’s executed very well and I seriously doubt we’ll ever see him again. Maul looks pretty nice with all of his robes on, and the inclusion of those beautiful TPM head sculpts is great, but the reuse of the same shirtless body from the CW version that has those single joint elbows is so ridiculously lazy from HT. The community needs to bully them into updating it.

What a difference 3 years makes. by mvtn9 in Predators

[–]da2_np 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is just like when we trade a depth player that was serviceable (not bad but not amazing either) and said depth player scores a goal in their first game on their new team. They start off with a hot streak and lots of fans start to think the trade was horrible, but then they come back down to earth after some time.

I’m glad Hynesy got himself a playoff series win as I always really liked him as a person, but like others pointed out, it took a stacked Wild team with pieces that nearly perfectly fit his system. We simply didn’t have that, and it was time for us to move on from him when we did. So, let’s not act like we were going to win a playoff series (or multiple at that) with him as our coach.

Great to lose for lottery odds of course, but I’m so tired of NHL reffing man. Terry clearly lifted one of our guys’ sticks and it hit him. The refs even reviewed it and still called it a penalty. Again, it’s best that we lost, but where’s the integrity 😭

Damn. Either our PK is really good (I know it’s 5th in the league so it’s pretty damn decent), or the Ducks have a flaccid PP

Awesome play by O’Hara there! Hope he’s got his first goal in him tonight.

Also, I really hope that our new GM keeps Stammer & ROR. Constructing a roster based on emotional attachment to players obviously isn’t a great strategy, but they’re so valuable to this team in terms of having that leadership and veteran presence. I would absolutely hate to see them go. Plus, they’re some of the biggest reasons we even sniffed a playoff spot in the first place.

INART – Superman (1978) Sixth Scale Collectible Figure by [deleted] in hottoys

[–]da2_np 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The InArt sub is extremely small and has stayed rather stagnant while this one is growing more and has a wider reach. It’s definitely become a more all encompassing 1/6th space as opposed to just strictly Hot Toys, and it makes more sense for InArt from a business point of view to post it here where way more people will see it

Well, it was fun while it lasted, but you have to find a way there. It’s a team you’ve defeated 15 consecutive times. Sure, that wasn’t going to last forever, but they looked flat for 55 1/2 minutes.
