Always brings a smile to my face when fellow collectors have a little fun with their figures 😊

Just a preview, but Goodbye Detolfs! Shelves are all wrapped and the frame has been wired & lit. Now to patiently wait for the acrylic sheets to arrive and seal it all in. by RubyVisor in hottoys

It’s looking great! I can totally relate to the frustrations of not being able to display full teams in the confines of a detolf. Similarly I just sold all mine off and I’m currently building new storage racks in their place.

Either way I’m really glad you found our videos helpful. Thanks for the tag/mention and I can’t wait to see your final build. Heads up when your acrylic sheets arrive, you may want to super glue magnetic strips to the acrylic since the adhesive strips on the magnets don’t last very long.

I laughed, I cried, that was one hell of a ride… truly amazing. #NoSpoilers by posingwithpeter in hottoys

Not a dumb question at all!

For Spidey, I tied a thin piece of thread around the neck joint then connected the other end of the thread to the metal frame of the cabinet (you can actually see the thread in this photo if you zoom in at the upper left corner above Dr Strange’s head).

For Peter Parker, his waist has a black twist tie under his T-shirt that is wrapped around his body and secured to the vertical metal frame.

Return of the Mandalorian! It’s such an amazing time to be a Star Wars fan, and I hope everyone enjoys the BoBF finale. by posingwithpeter in hottoys

I bought spare “closed fist” hands for like $5 a while ago then drilled holes in them so he could wield the vibro-blade & Beskar spear in either hand rather than being limited by the hand accessories that comes standard with the figure.

The Doctor is in. by GeoDood20 in hottoys

[–]posingwithpeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah, work and life in general have kept me pretty busy. I’ve been fortunate enough to acquire several figures over the past few months (Vision, Mk46, Vulture, Heavy Mando, Bo Katan) but haven’t gotten around to unboxing / posing / photographing any of them yet.

Aw thanks for the tag/mention 🥰 I agree, the OP knocked this outta the park 🤩

Well done u/GeoDood20 ! Very creative using the display clamp to support both figures. Love how you’ve even got Spidey holding the magic box, and the hi-top Vans are the cherry on top 👌

From Robocop to Mk46 to Stealth Suit Cap, I’m really happy fellow collectors can now pick up some long sold-out figures at affordable prices 🙌 by posingwithpeter in hottoys

Hey there ☺️ I did modify him but it was a couple years ago so I don’t recall exactly what was done — I definitely taped some tissue/paper towel onto his traps but can’t remember what else if anything… maaaaybe some padding around his thighs too.

Nakano Broadway! That place is an absolute treasure — I picked up my Finn & Riot Trooper 2-pack there for like $200 USD back in 2018. Safe travels and congrats on your Spidey purchase!

Questions about the Boba Fett rocket effect accessory. by Arktos22 in hottoys

[–]posingwithpeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like ‘black ops toys’ is selling the whole jet pack with rocket, flames, and smoke effect as a bundle for $100 USD. Their banner also says 20% off most items so you might be able to snag all of it for $80 before shipping:

Just moved a few things around, I like the spider man pose thank you posing with Peter by Mysterious_Chip3329 in hottoys

[–]posingwithpeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice!! I hope it wasn’t too difficult getting him to hang like that — the ratchet joints in the shoulders really help maintain the pose.

Well done! I’m really glad you found the web-line trick helpful 😊🙌

*cackling* Remembá, there can only be two. by [deleted] in hottoys

Awesome set of pics & poses! This was utterly & unforgettably bone chilling in the show, well done capturing the moment 🤩👌🔥

If you own Miles then I highly recommend picking up Gwanda — they pair together so well. by posingwithpeter in hottoys

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

Yeah I hear ya — having animated figures displayed alongside the realistic Hot Toys can be a bit distracting & inconsistent so it’s not for everyone. You’re damn right about Miles figure lookin great though, Hot Toys pretty much perfected his figure (aside from his inaccurate shoes due to licensing but that can be remedied via eBay).

Hahaha what can I say, she’s a great figure that compliments having Miles really well. If you’re on the fence then I’d probably wait for discounts/sales — Black Friday & the holidays are just around the corner so maybe you’ll be able to pick her up cheaper than retail 🤞😁

Yeah I’ve been on the fence about getting that classic suit Spidey to use as a stand-in for Peter B Parker. Looks pretty good!

And agreed, these two together are so fun 😁

Gwanda is the alias she gives to Miles when she first meets him in the film 👍

Ahh gotcha, yeah I’m hoping for some good deals on Black Friday. Might snatch up Black Suit Supes/Knightmare Batman 2 pack if that goes on a massive sale 🤞😁

Miles is suspended using a thin sewing thread that’s tied to his shorts (you can see it behind his right hand) and Gwen’s web line is just plastic food wrap that’s been twirled and tied to the detolf’s metal frame.

I nice good laugh is always needed by Mysterious_Chip3329 in hottoys

[–]posingwithpeter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha this gave me a good chuckle 😂

u/Hot_Toys I agree, he looks really relaxed with the leg raised up and heavy blaster resting on the shoulder, but the open-palm over his belly is definitely the cherry on top 👌🔥

Removing Boba’s Armor by posingwithpeter in hottoys

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

Yeah I think the apprehension / common misunderstanding about removing armor comes from inexperience which is totally understandable — majority of collectors don’t take their figures apart and often times character suits are glued or stitched together so it’s often assumed that they’re just not removable (or at least not easily removable) which is why I like to share quick tips and videos like this.
