     The one thing that worries me about that T-800 is the battery that’s in its head to make the eye glow.

    Not sure I know of the problem for the LED eye.  They have a bunch of figures with this 'accessory'. I imagine it should be a relatively easy fix if the battery were to ever die.

    Oh man, if the prices go up anymore, I'm out. I remember when HT's were $80, and that seemed like highway robbery at the time. Now they can't seem to release a figure for less than $250.

    That $80 price point must have been when the company 1st launched.  I got into the HT game about 2-3 years ago so I only know of the high prices.  I certainly wish these figures were cheaper in general.  But they have me hooked so I'm doomed.

    I only own three unfortunately.  I would like to get the battle damaged T-800 next.

    I still have to open my punisher from DD, yours looks great!  And the BD T-800 would make a great addition to any collection.  

     

    And roger that Exit!  Think this is a great toy company with a ton of high quality action figures.

    Do you or anyone else think that the recent trade war between the U.S and China will affect the prices on these figures? Personally I think it will as the import duties will be tougher. 

    I honestly haven't thought much about the tariffs and stuff with Hot Toys.  HT headquarters are in Hong Kong, so not sure if that will make a difference or not.  I know kitchen appliances will feel a hit, like refrigerators and ovens, microwaves, ect.  But never thought about it with Hot Toys

    I've owned a ton of Hot Toys, going back to their original Aliens Colonial Marines line. My problem is that once they go OOP and prices start rising, I have a difficult time not selling them. Just can't resist the $$$. So as of now, I only have a few that I'd consider permanent, including the 1989 Keaton Batman, Adam West Batman.

    The only ones I REALLY regret selling are my Joker DX-11,and my Alien Kane and Dallas. Should have held onto those, prices be damned. Oh well.

    I have a few. I think there are some posts about them in the Statue Collections topic. From what I've seen here I thought this was more vintage and some modern smaller figures.

    Glad to see other Hot Toy collectors on here!  I have 4 preorders, and the prices sure add up fast!

    The Hot Toys & Sideshow Premium Action Figure Thread

    I think it is about time we have an Action Figure thread. I know there has to be some collectors out there. Anyone else collect Hot Toys besides me? :headbang:

     

    I personally just got my first Hot Toy in. DX14 Jack Nicholson Joker Mime version. Safe to say I am hooked now!

     

    Lets talk some Hot Toys and please feel free to post pictures of your collection :popcorn:

     

    We do actually... but feel free to post another one. I do not mean that sarcastically. The comics we read gain a lot of traction through product support. There should be more threads devoted to them. You could make this focus in on sideshow and hot toys and other premium figure items. There is quite a large collector base for that on here.

     

    This was the one that I started but seems to be mostly geared toward action figures.

    There is also some dweeb around here that started a Lego thread.

    The Lego Thread - Yes, Comics Related

     

     

     

    Never saw your thread until now, love it! :golfclap:

     

    And a great idea on making this more of a premium figure thread. This will be dedicated to companies such as Hot Toys, Sideshow, Blitzway, and others

    Where Does Your Stuff go When You Pass? Apparently Straight to eBay.

    My wife is very familiar with values of my books.I have a living trust that explains in detail what to do and who to sell to.I have some board members here in my trust for my wife to contact. (thumbs u

     

    That's actually a great idea. I don't have any children, and I don't have any friends who collect. I'd hate the idea of my cherished treasures being tossed up unceremoniously on Ebay. At least that's one way to pass them on.

     

    Now, I just need some friends. Haha.

     

    My name is Hal, I'd love to be your pal :banana:
