I mean, it's amazing HT thought they could get away with charging $250 for what looks like an oversized Marvel Legends figure.

If HT want to continue releasing Iron Man figures, I'd ask they at least start making comic book suits. Continuing to re-release MCU suits (2.0s, recolors, special editions, etc...) is boring and lazy at this point. Surely they already got a nice ROI on making the molds at this point. Do...

Glad I didn't pickup the reissue earlier this year like I intended. Moves like this just reinforces my decision to move away from 1/6 Iron Man Hot Toys and transition to ThreeZero's DLX Infinity Saga line. Similar quality at a smaller size at 1/3rd the price. I'll pay attention to Hot Toys again...

I'd wish HT would ease it with the MCU suits and dive deeper into the comics' suits if they are gonna continue making Iron Man suits. I'd love to see how HT would do the Extremis or Bleeding Edge armors. To be fair, they have dipped their toes into this, but those figures have that nasty clear...

They are slightly under 7 inches.

Recently been getting into this line, and I gotta say it shocked me in a good way. At $99 for each figure (so far), the value for the money is nuts. I know it's cliche to say "mini Hot Toys," but I don't know how else to describe this Infinity Saga DLX line. I hope ThreeZero do the entire Iron...

Look at it this way: Hot Toys is doing a great job saving us money.

Yeah. It's weird. A brand new diecast Iron Man release in a brand new mold and...crickets everywhere?

I sort of understand what they were going for with the clear plastic, but I still disagree. Unless the light hit it at an ideal angle to emulate that classic comic book art, the plastic is more distracting than anything. And as said before, there's serious concern the clear plastic discoloring...

Remember, $335 is just the base price. Factoring in tax and shipping, and you're pretty close to $400. That's current day diecast Iron Man figure pricing. At the rate we're going, >$350 will be the new standard for non-diecast figures by 2024 or 2025.

It's not worth it to pre-order HT figures nowadays. Like you said, they take way too long to come out, and when they do, they almost never sell out quickly anyway. You have months, maybe even years, to decide whether to pick up a figure before it sells out once it's available for general...

>$100 for shipping is insanity if it is not something like next-day air shipping.

Is anyone else's Iron Patriot still on "Preparing To Ship" status from Sideshow? Mine's been like that since Tuesday morning.

Got a shipping notice, too, for this guy. What surprised me was how low the shipping cost was. $18.65 to ship to me via UPS Ground to Chicago. I was thinking more like ~$25 given the size and weight of the figure.

Yeah, if you think these prices are going down when the shipping situation is resolved, you are sorely mistaken. The cost is almost always passed on to the consumer, and even if the situation that caused those price hikes settle down, that new price point remains. Why wouldn't it? It is extra...

Recently got EG Cap, and EG IP is paid off already on SS. The next figure I'm picking up is the MM Spider-Man 2020 Suit figure. After that, I think I will cool off on collecting HT figures. The prices are just getting too much for what I'm getting out of this hobby. If I pick up something else...

I think once you are forced to pare back that "completionist urge," you find that you aren't missing much and skipping a product isn't the end of the world. I went through that myself. A few years ago I was really into another product line of figures and bought everything that came out due to...

Nearly $500. More expensive than even the EG Iron Patriot. A few things that could account for the higher price tag: -more elaborate engineering given this is a figure that also articulates -a lot of seemingly bright, USB powered leds littered throughout the suit

I wish HT would start diving into comic book suits, like the Extremis armor or the Bleeding Edge armor. But that would require entirely new molds and engineering work, which costs time and money. It's much cheaper to just reuse existing molds and repurpose them, like these "Suit Up" line of...

Man, If I didn't have rewards points I needed spend before they expired, I would have waited and got this guy from BBTS instead of Sideshow.
