1/6 Hot Toys - TMS 008 - The Mandalorian: Bounty Hunter Droid IG-11 Collectible Figure

Any place to order this besides Sideshow?

Was gonna say Popcultcha who's been a go-to for me in the past, but u can't even add him to a cart. And holy cr*# what is up with Popcultcha's prices?



Is/was this real? - and this is USD. I ended up paying max retail for a CW Scarlet Witch from Popcultcha way back, after waiting too long they were the only ones that had her. But it was nothing like this!

Their prices fluctuate heavily based on the AUD/USD at the time of solicitation. Then there's the issue with their taxes, which typically get removed at the end when they see you're shipping to the US (I think that's still the case anyhow). But either way, that still seems a bit high.

From Sideshow it would probably be about $290 for me after tax and shipping. Missed the boat on Timewalker and Alter Ego to get for cheaper it seems.

Thanx, forgot about the changing rates. Tho it's in line at the moment with 'bay markups.

Hadn't looked at my IG order which was - wow, April last year initially. Threw some points in to get the cost down. If he's as good as the Ultron Mark 1 - the only robot I have - I'd say he's worth the cost.

But these rising prices - not blaming HT or anyone - really has me ratcheting back to only favorite characters for the most part, and hoping for decent coupons.

Yeah, I wasn't sure how deep I wanted to go with the line, but after seeing Season 2 I think I'd be happy with Mando, Grogu, IG-11, and Gideon. Really not too excessive. Then of course, I've also ordered a couple of the Rogue One/OT crossover figures like the Death Trooper, Shore Trooper, Scout, and Tusken Raider, but those will probably go with those displays.

I don't know of any other places. I broke down and used points to bring him down to about $200 shipped there last month.

Seriously can?t wait for IG-11. I used $95 in rewards points on him so I got a good deal. I imagine he?ll be ready after their New Year break

Perfection in that setup requires Kuiil. I want that pint sized ugnaught

Ah... Good point. I would LOVE a Kuiil. I'm actually working on a 3D printed blurrg, so Kuiil would be perfect. But I also want a Cara D. as well...

Hoping this is the next release.

We really need to remind Hot Toys of Kuiil on FB with the release of IG-11 to show the love.

Actually, does Sideshow have an SW license? I really like the Sideshow Mythos Obi-Wan. Sideshow could do Kuiil with a static display blurrg.

Finally ordered this from Midtown Comics since most of my usual retailers were sold out. If I'm being honest, the show went downhill for me slightly in season 2 so I think I'll try my best to just stick with season 1 figures as best I can outside of some of the figures that overlap with the OT/Rogue One.

Sacrilege!!!

Just kidding. I enjoy the show, but I do think some of the praise on here is a bit overblown. And I actually find myself more interested in some of the spinoffs right now.

Think he'll make my 3 Mando shelf (since no Kuiil, no Cara).

Well, I'm thinkin' I'll stick with Season 1 and part of Season 2, maybe, but tho a lot of the world doesn't agree with me, seemed like the show shifted from its (supposed) original vision of new characters etc. - which isn't what I wanted - or some sort of integration that leads to the ST.

Gonna take a wait and see approach.

Releasing in HK soon apparently.

Yeah I saw someone say on FB, this and a Spider-Man (1/4 scale or FFH 1/6) are releasing and both Bo Katan and Fett will be fully revealed.

Fantastic news. I can't wait to display IG-11 alongside the Orig Mando.

(still waiting for Baskar Mando, though... )

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]
