Hahah, Muggs are Toys R Us exclusive now. gently caress 'em, Hasbro deserves to fail with stunts like that.

By the by, in the last thread I pasted a fwoosh link that said muggs were going bye bye. This move seems to indicate some truth to that:

quote:

When questioned about the move, Hasbro said they wanted to continue the line but did not have any room for them, which is when TRU swept in and picked them up for release.

He's heeeeere! Awesome figure. Paint job is excellent, head sculpt looks absolutely nuts, and the axe head is real metal. loving aces. My pics are poo poo, but you get the idea.

I might try to part out an outfit from the police Joker, since I've got both of the other Hot Toys Jokers. I want Gordon or Scarecrow much more.

Thats a load of poo poo, really. Is this normal Hot Toys practice? Why can't they just sell these upgraded pieces on the side? I really don't want policeman version and while no one is forcing me to buy it, a new updated head AND brand new suit is a spit in the face.

And yeah, im fine with v1.0 and robber. This is just gouging though. Jumping on the popularity of the character.

I could not resist preordering this even though I have v1 and v2. $150 is too good of a price to pass on, unfortunately. AFAIK Hot Toys hasn't ever done character packs or supplemental pieces. The closest thing was a weapons pack that was like a hundred bucks a few months back. The little things are the cost prohibitive factors with these products, I think; tailoring all the small clothes and the paint apps seem labor intensive. The bodies probably don't cost much at all, since those can be churned out by a factory. Why not charge people another $150 for the whole kit and kaboodle rather than dealing with selling individual parts?

They admitted v1 had problems in their newsletters before BR Joker came out. And yeah, nobody's making you buy this; just because I jumped and you jumped on the first two doesn't mean we NEED this one.

(I need this one).

Wow, that looks incredible. I was thinking of getting the Bank Robber version, but now I'll definitely wait for this new one.

Definitely do not feel bad about getting the BR version; it's just a shame that the first one had such a mediocre headsculpt. BR Joker is incredible.

I bought both previous versions and didn't feel bad about preordering this third, especially since it's cheaper than either of the first two.

I caved and bought one of the 6" Dr. Manhattan toys. It's the first small toy I've bought in some time ... pretty drat cool, I must admit. $17 is highway robbery for this loving thing, though.

I just cancelled my Dutch. The in-hand pics just aren't as impressive as the Predator. I'm bummed about it, but figured that if I was debating it, I don't need to spend the money. MK 2 just got billed, and I'm about to hit send on $230 or so for Golgo so that's another factor ...

I got two Two-Faces sent to me on accident, so I took the pic while I had the extra; only opening one obviously. Vito's one of the most incredible toys I own and I can't imagine how Enterbay could really improve on it. The packaging is pretty sick as well; it's huge - about twice the height of a normal Hot Toys box. Very slick.

I ordered from Sideshow for the bonus mask. If there's a toy that's not limited or exclusive though, I usually go through Alter Ego, Viking Playground, BBTS or Toys2.net personally. Alter Ego has pretty good prices typically.

It's fake; look at the legal. It's from the Golgo toy. It's not unheard of that a toy company would license out their licenses (i.e. Sideshow making GI Joe toys), but that's definitely fake.

I'm kind of burned out on the hobby - all I look at / purchase these days are Ashley Wood and Hot Toys stuff, with the occasional Sideshow statue. I never really thought it would get to this point, having collected toys for so long, but it's probably for the best.

Not particularly. The story's fine, but I'm in it for Ash Wood's art more than the story. They come with a decent amount of stuff, and two figures for 250 is a steal, given what I've been paying lately for toys.

The headsculpt is amazing, and I'm sure the whole thing is top notch, but what a stupid figure. Robert Downey Jr. in a sweatshirt with robot legs. Totally worth $200.

The head is awesome though. If you have the first Iron Man figure, it'd be great to just buy the head separately on ebay to put on it.

Haha I have the first three Iron Men, with the Battle Damaged one on preorder and I still want it :(
