I recognize this store, how much are they selling it for?

Definitely needs more accessories if they're charging 250 fricking USD. Beam affects or even some kind of translucent hand for his phasing ability...something!

I like this figure however this looks to be Ekuaz Studios' first 1/6 release, I feel like I should wait for reviews before preordering it.

Cool I'll double check, thanks.

I wonder what happens to those like me who aren't in the US but their retailer is supplied by Sideshow?

Huh? This is news to me, are you referring to the announcement Hot Toys made back in December or is this something new entirely?

Is there a high probability of Cody's right arm breaking if you're moving it up and down for aiming poses? I have the SS version but am on the fence if I should pick up the HT version.

Out of curiosity, has anyone in Canada who preordered their Cody from a Canadian retailer got theirs yet? I missed out on the preorder window and was hoping there would be stock for sale so I don't have to import one in.

With the recent substandard face sculpts of toothy Antman, RDJ Iron Man MK85 and Chadwick Boseman Black Panther from Hot Toys, this Gideon figure will definitely be a "wait and see" how it looks post production type of figure. With the spike in prices for this hobby it's not worth it for me to...

Sculpt looks too smooth and airbrushed, the eyes have no emotion.

When I saw it in person I was blown away by the paintjob that I almost considered buying it but I have other diecasts and at the time was trying to slow down my collecting so begrudgingly held off since I have the plastic version as well. I hope when I get the MK 85 in hand that I won't regret...

I passed over the Mk 7 diecast to save up money and preorder the Mk 85 because I found this armor more iconic but I think the Mk 7 looks like the better overall figure because of design, head sculpt and accessories......*sigh*

What's causing the right forearm to pop out? Does his forearm come off easily when bending to aim with a blaster rifle?

I hope these defects are only affecting a very small percentage because it is making me reconsider selling my Sideshow Phase II Cody.

I feel like I'm in the same boat as you, been collecting mostly Marvel and SW for 10 years now and have never sold my Hot Toys. Some of my stuff is kinda outdated and I'm contemplating on selling the older stuff to make extra shelf space and funds on buying the newer releases.
