You guys are right that those are “limited exclusives” and only the US numbers, but we know the Hong Kong numbers too (I believe they’re roughly the same). I used those as examples since it’s all we have numbers for. But if they only think they can sell 4,000 (let’s call it 8,000 with Hong Kong)...

Thanks for the recap. I still insist Joost has bad information on Hot Toys production numbers. They just sold a black/gold Iron Man repaint limited to 2,500 units, an Obi-Wan limited to 2,000, and an all-new Imperial Commando limited to 2,500. Artisan Joker was limited to 4,000. They’re not...

Looks incredible already. But the eyes change expression in the video, while there’s only mention of the mouthplates being swappable. How’s that supposed to work?

They did this with the just-released Love and Thunder Thor as well. A deluxe was offered with sleeved arms and swap-out armor.

The only good reason I can think to go seamless under the suit is that on tight outfits, the knees and elbows of non-seamless bodies can be pretty ghastly and apparent right through the clothing when the limbs are bent. I just got Hot Toys Multiverse of Madness Scarlet Witch last week, and the...

I don’t want to receive that waitlist conversion email until we’ve had a chance to see the final product!

Right. But don’t forget - we see him in the bacta tank and suiting up earlier in the series too. Dude is pale as hell. Figure looks right to me 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thank you! Here's another batch. This is one of those figures I think looks so good it makes all of the other figures on your shelf look worse :ROFLMAO:

Agreed, we need an ultimate Black Widow with movable eyes, new sculpt and artisan hair.

That was the before times. They’ve cut way back on production quantities and they’re more or less just made to order now. These days figures rarely even show up in stock, let alone at discount.

Mine actually arrived a day earlier than promised but it was pretty late so I didn't get a whole lot of time with her the first night. She's beautiful! Love the assortment of hands. Almost immediately broke a wrist peg because it's so difficult to see which direction they're oriented :ROFLMAO...

Yeah - could be the factories he’s talking to over-selling their capabilities or something got lost in translation. But my first assumption was he was getting his numbers from a source at DC, who might have the quantities sold on file so that they can accurately collect their licensing fees...

You heard him correctly (I heard it too), but he must be mistaken. Even 6,000 seems unlikely for a reissue. I believe he also mentioned Hot Toys made 40,000 ‘89 Batmobiles, which also just cannot be true. I think whatever his source for Hot Toys production numbers must have accidentally added...

Use Sideshow's retail locator to see if there's a comic shop near you that stocks Hot Toys, then give them a call. Mine had one weeks ago. https://www.sideshow.com/store-locator

The way the sleeves can be fitted over the wrist pegs so that they don't expose the arm when bent is a really nice touch - I think Terry missed that in the Sideshow first look video. Weird that Justin never even touched on the seamless fabric on the back of the head - that's kind of a big...
