1/6 Hot Toys WandaVision Scarlet Witch

This turned out well, but it's been so long and already outdated that it's lost any type of relevance...sorry HT, you too slow!

Yeah I take back what I said. There are a couple of photos with angles that take away the likeness but yeah there are others where it is spot on.

The MoM sculpt is better. Probably the best female sculpt I've seen from HT.

Sold!

As a non Marvel collector - I just came here to say that this one really grabbed my attention and I think she turned out great.

So every time one of these releases I go and see Toywonderland has them for a ton less than Sideshow. 220 after shipping vs 320 after shipping on sideshow, does anyone go thru them mostly and stop using sideshow? I've noticed this has happened almost every release with the popular characters. Falcon(Cpt America), Bucky, Vision and now Wanda. It seems to always be 100 less than sideshow or more. Just makes me rethink even bothering to pre order from sideshow anymore. Is there a reason they are always cheaper on TW?

Tw buys direct from hong kong. Try to go thru checkout and you may stick with ssc after you see the shipping charges (if you are in the U.S.)

I tried to order the toys era juggernaut from tw for $270 and the shipping was going to be $340 alone. It may be different now but I kind of doubt it,

Toyswonderland is shady as hell. They’re showing you those crazy-low prices because it’s a pre-order they won’t deliver you for 6-8 months. Meanwhile, they’re taking your cash up front to stay afloat. One day they’ll be gone overnight and everyone’s pre-order money with them.

They have a history of unpaid bills with toymakers, shaking customers down for more money, and are just bad news.

For a legit overseas alternative, check out toysbuyingagent. Use the promo codes on the front page. He has Scarlet Witch now with free shipping, total cost delivered looks like $270, delivery in 2-3 weeks.

By comparison, the current ToysWonderland price for one of their actual in-stock Scarlet Witches after shipping comes to $354.

Not for me? I just went thru the entire checkout just before hitting pay and it shows me 220 dollars shipped to NYC for this Wanda.


In the past I did this exact thing with Bucky from the TV show, on sideshow they were going to charge me like 280 or 300, I forget exactly, and TW charged me 210 after shipping... So I cancelled my pre order and it arrived without issues after it released. I've yet to have a single problem from TW, so I can't speak to the whole behind the scenes. The benefits are just so obvious though, literally 100 dollars less on every single item that gets released. Some you do have to wait a little longer, I waited I think 2 months more on Bucky vs Sideshow.

Edit: Just noticed you meant the in stock one, I was talking about the pre order

Also, educate yourself on them before you purchase anything. You may not end up having any issues right away, but many have eventually. You also don't have the customer service if there are any quality issues. Shipping will be anywhere from 50-100 for normal Hot Toy, so in the end you will pay 270-320. You may end up saving some here and there, but at a risk or headache.

Very excited that it has finally been released, looks really good. some angles look a little weird with the placement of the tiara and the sculpted hair, but other than that I'm happy. This will be my last Wanda so it'll be nice to finish my little three figure collection with one that looks this good.

Man I seen collectors on boards and youtube not receiving preorders at all or 10 to 12 months after release with toyswonderland. Do you mainly shop with them? I only bought a couple figures in the past . I never had a problem with them on older figures.

My experience with TW was that I bought 4-5 figures with zero problems whatsoever, then the last figure took over 6 months for them to finally send—had to send numerous emails and finally resorted to spamming comments on their Instagram posts which magically got things resolved real fast. Oh and btw that last figure they refused to send me for 6 months? It had already been out in HK for months before that when I ordered. Was such a hassle and soured me so much that, even though I had previously gotten some really good deals, I unsubscribed from their emails and now refuse to make another purchase with them.

TL;DR Toys Wonderland seem great until suddenly they are the absolute worst. Every time I see people especially on FB vowing to never buy from them again their story is a variation of this exact same experience.

Hmm, yep to me it looks like it comes close(r) to the prototype, which is to say the figure is dashing!

Spanbauer said:

Wow only one year behind schedule. Figure looks really good I think. Seems they made the costume darker and more show-accurate compared to the prototype.

ONLY one year?! It felt as though it was longer

Spanbauer said:

One of the bloggers even had her in a cross-legged floating pose - I'd be curious how challenging that was to achieve.


The only real mark against it is those unsightly shoulder joints without the cape, and she was without the cape more often than not in the show. Really a shame they hadn't been taking this extra year delay to implement silicon shoulders like Ahsoka. It's not just the shoulders either, the far too skinny featureless barbie doll stick arms just aren't good enough for what these cost.

Good point, she was in that outfit without her cape than with it on. Of course everyone has their preferences as to how they want to approach the exposed areas, and for me I‘d almost always prefer jointed, but at the same time I wouldn’t oppose a seamless appearance. But I can see why folks would sway towards seamless (after all we do critique how these look ). Fair point about the “Barbie doll stick arms,” given how they’re hard plastic they definitely should be better sculpted and have more definition.

Spanbauer said:

Yup, they absolutely could have had both silicone shoulders and electronics in the forearms; the sleeves would hide the transition from silicone to plastic lower arm just like Ahsoka.

Only one year longer than initially promised I saw someone on reddit did the math and it was over 800 days from announcement to release.

WORTH IT

@Johnny Utah - That face sculpt can possibly change on the MoM Wanda before it officially gets released as that is an initial render.

@Draylo - I pre-ordered this version of Wanda via TW in full on the second/third day it was up and who knows if they send the second batch to Lotusland, B.C.

Had no issues with them as of now as they sent my two 1/6 figures, but it can change as of right now. If TW sends it to me and not **** around with anyone’s orders, then I’m good. If they don’t, then I will get it from someone else then. Not going to give them free loans on unexisiting pre-orders from them anymore. They can call the Canada Police on me and track me down for that matters.

This figure looks so good, the more pictures and videos I see make me increasingly happier I ordered it so many months ago (I ordered it the first week it was announced)! As someone already said, I think it has been worth the wait.

I really like this sculpt a lot, and I love that the colors on her outfit seem to be darker than I thought they would be initially.
