I have been lurking for a while, and finally signed in. I have been collecting Hot Toys figures for something like 3 or 4 years, and am starting to wonder where to place all the new ones I have preordered... Hot Toys is not my only hobby that needs some space, I am also a wargames with an...
For me it is actually cheaper to buy from German sellers. Take the Anankin + STAP: if bought from Sideshow I would have to pay 340€ plus postage. I do not know what postage to Germany would be, but taxes and customs would amount to about 72€ (if declared as a „toy“), from my regular German...

That is a very good point indeed. I do love the Mandalorians, although I might not get every single one, but this one is special due to his size and weapons. Seems like I have to biy him after all. At least you have provided me with a good excuse of spending the money on him :hi5:
My resolve not to get this figure is growing slimmer.... My main problem is, I am running out of display space fast. And there are so many great figures I want....
I really like the sculpt, a must have for me. I can understand that some people do not accept the „realistic“ look, it is not the Ahsoka we are used to From the animated show. For me, it is perfect. I would not want a cartoon character next to the realistic Hot Toys figures on my shelf.
