  1. My first Sideshow piece and im blown away with this thig. Need to mess with the cape some more but here he is. He isnt leaning, just took pic at a weird angle
  2. The above is a bad picture, but even the best photos I've seen of pieces I have from people with professional level cameras and picture-taking ability don't capture what I see in front of me. You'll hear "this looks way better in person" over and over, but it's absolutely true. I've been buying statues since around 2002, and had tons of 1/6 scale, and I would recommend 1/4 without question. Less is more with these things. As far as there being fewer offerings, this is changing. 1/4 is basically an industry standard at this point, and more are always coming. That's part of the fun of the hobby for me; anticipating what's next, especially this time of year, since SDCC always brings with it new reveals. Thanks for the info and the pics. I'm super excited to dive in, and am looking forward to reveals at SDCC. I'm currently debating the Hot Toys Fett vs. the Premium Format Fett. Both look great. I like the idea of being able to post the HT version, but I'm worried that A) I won't be able to get it just right or B) it'll look like a toy with articulation points. Regardless, I'm sure I'll have my first by Christmas. or just get both and display them side by side. Hot Toys make the most amazing figures. I've never thought any of mine have looked like toys, the detail is insane
  3. I started collecting about 2 months ago and have 13 Hot Toys now. Still waiting for my 1st sideshow pice to come in, DR Doom I started right around when you did, after I saw the AV2 Cap they are releasing...they one got me hooked. I've got nine Hot Toys now and with the release of the exclusive "Tank" armor, I might make it ten. I really want to pick up the Mark 5 "suitcase" armor but I'm afraid they might do a diecast version and I'd much prefer that. I don't know what to do. Its addictive. I was set on getting Tank then realized I have Heartbreaker and 5 other Iron Man armors so I think im going to pass. I also hate the 2 mini Iron Man figures that come with it, looks cool in pictures but im not so sure it would look great in your cabinet.
  4. Aren't they the ones selling hot toys groot and hulk knock offs?
  5. I own some of the Kotobukiya Marvels and for the price they look great, especially the hulk
  6. Unfortunately my camera phone isn't the best. They are such amazing figures though
  7. Just got these in today, very impressive in hand. Didnt think I would like this set more then the AOU Captain America but wow this set is just so amazing
  8. I like the head sculpt in and of itself, but judging by the pics SST put up, it doesn't really seem to fit the body. Not sure what is off about it. Too big? Something, I dunno. But it's weird. Still, altogether it looks like a really nice piece. I will probably hold off on ordering because I don't care about the exclusive, and with it being a character like Wolvie, the edition size will probably be through the roof. I like it, and will probably order it, but not until after SDCC where we'll get a better look at it, not to mention, at whatever else SS has in store for next year. I tend to halt all pre-ordering/buying until SDCC is finished. love it, ordered it

  10. Here is my small corner of the room I get next to the cat bed in our apt. I also get a small closet for all my comics but it's nothing fancy to look at
  11. Yea I was really looking forward too get this statue in this month
  12. looks like a loaf of bread to me as well. I think it looks great still, hoping they make the orange a bit brighter though in the release
  13. Yup. Also looking forward to the variant reveal. Yea, hoping its not just a repaint
  14. Now just gotta wait a year to get this in
  15. How and where can you order XM statues?
  16. Yea, I'm not sold. I can't place what it is, but something's not right. his face needs a lot of reworking. Has earmuffs on now and the lines in his face arent right, it is just a prototype though so im sure itll get re-done
  17. in case anyone is interested hot toys vision
  18. Red Son Superman up for pre-order now
  19. didn't realize the pic came out like that. Yea it's starlord
  20. They have to finish producing the fifty different versions of Ironman first. Why are there so many ironman versions? because people like me buy them
  21. A few more Iron man figures to add Also just bought one of these off Ebay Also went ahead and pre-ordered the die cast Mark 3, hopefully my last Iron Man figure
  22. Just got the Mark 42 in and should be getting Heartbreaker and Tony the mechanic tomorrow
