The Hot Toys and other 1/6 figures thread (sideshow, dragon, etc...)

[edstuff]

I just realized we don't have a thread for these sooooo I'm starting one.
I only collect predators but figure I'd post my pics.


I have a few of the older ones but haven't got them set up atm

[chase1319]

Holy shit!!! my son loves predator and we were looking at those for his birthday and they are sweet!!! With that said your collection is sick!!!!

[edstuff]

Thanks man. I used to keep them locked up in their boxes but after the flood ruined the tracker's packaging I figured hey I bought them to enjoy. So I opened them up like a kid at Christmas and put them on display.

[ilovefreestufftoo]

Oh no I'm staying the fuck out of this thread. I will not let myself get sucked back into this. Bad enough I pre-ordered some die cast iron man figures already.

Edit:

Okay, I'm in...

Bad things happen for good reasons. I bet opening all those up brought joy to you. It damn sure would for me!!!!

Lol. I could only imagine the smell... The smell of new toys is something made of heaven!!!

Did you guys ever collect the Alien(s) stuff?

They were awesome at first, but after time, the rubber skin and joints started to crack. I couldn't handle it anymore, so I sold them off.

[mechanizer]

Very nice collection of predators ed.

Thanks man. I actually have wolf predator and chopper too but need to assemble them.

Ilovefreestuff yes I know. Hot toys old rubber was pretty crappy. I'd love some updated aliens figures. I want them to remake the marines from part 2 as well.

Anybody pick up the Iron Man Midas figure this week? 

I cracked and decided to get it since I missed out on the Mark VII

[edstuff]

I was never a huge fan of the iron man line only because it seemed a new figure came out every month but this one is interesting.
I'm waiting for them to release the Arkham Batman that was shown like 2 years ago!

I'm also debating a Scar Predator.

[edstuff]

so bought So bought SO BOUGHT!!!
already pre-ordered actually

[Crow]

Amazing, dude. I have the Falconer, which was my fave of the Predators series.

Great choice bro.
I got it too and it's my fav mark right now, looks so great   

[CankleBreaker]

Anyone got any hook ups/connects or coupons, etc for Hot Toys? I'm very interested in the ED-209 figure! Haaalp! 

EDIT: got it for a steal during a sale! woop woop!

[CankleBreaker]

So if some of you guys are aware of Hot Toys ED-209 first release, it had the issue of dome rot, apparently its happening again! WTF.

Dome rot  

Please explain...I have mr ED-209 as well

EDIT: eek, just looked this up...gonna have to check mine out. Wow, the angry faced is warranted, big time. That's bullshit that this was an issue with the first release and did nothing about it.

[CankleBreaker]

It was a widespread issue w/ the first release years ago and ironically Hot Toys decides to do the exact same thing after ignoring everyone's plea to fix it... such BS. I'm glad I was able to get mine at a decent price and if when mine starts to crack/rot I'll get a replacement one from a forum member when they get around to making one.

[edstuff]

I remember a guy named ashkanls made a pretty sweet replacement.
Soooo happy I decided to not buy this guy.
My original ed was perfect however.

[CankleBreaker]

You lucked out Ed. I jus noticed the rubber joint connectors on mine are starting to deteriorate but the dome is OK...for now.

[edstuff]

That's crazy. Hot Toys had a chance to make this guy right and fucked it up. And fucked over their customers in the process. I'm hoping they make things right by you guys.

[CankleBreaker]

You and I both brotha, along w/ everyone else who dropped $400+ on this "high end" collectible. Luckily, I got mine on sale so it makes it less painful.

[edstuff]

I sold my old ed for 450 bout 2 years ago. Now I'm thinking that was a great price since I never displayed him or put him together and his dome was 100% perfect since he never was around air or sunlight.

[CankleBreaker]

Thats a great price, I some what regret my purchase now but this updated version is so awesome that I couldn't resist. Hopefully something can be done about this or I can get some replacement parts from boardies on the SS forums.
