Avengers: Endgame - 1/6th scale Captain Marvel Collectible Figure

[gmoney5000]

Now we have to hope that it translates well to the production version. Remember the Boseman production sculpt?

HA! Do i remember...? Half this board is tired of hearing me harp about Boseman-gate!!!

Really? As I recall you were quite ambivalent about it...

I think I've discovered the most disgusting price for this yet in the UK..

339 GBP at Zavvi.

Yeaaaah, no thanks. Seems the common price is 270GBP ish with only one retailer going below 240.

I really want this but am totally stuck between waiting or pre-ordering now since the UK retailers tend to miraculously run out of stock way in advance of release. Would get it from Toys Wonderland (as said earlier) but paying up front (or in 6 months) when it's Hot Toys we're talking about (who rarely stick to any release window). Yeahh.

What are you guys doing? pre-ordering or waiting?

Yeah the UK prices are crazy on most Hot Toys atm, one of the reasons I'm scaling back on them. Admittedly as good as it looks I'm not getting this figure, but the cheapest I've seen it was for 229 pounds at The Good, The Bad & The Robots - but there is a delivery charge so you'd be adding another 12GBP on top of that.

Toys Buying Agent has it for 20% down, so you don't have to pay all up front.

Yep, we're in the same boat it seems, you and I! The ultimate collector's dilemma!

Meh character (ex: Shuri), amazing likeness = must buy.
Awesome character (ex: IW Cap), meh likeness = sad pass (but money saved!)

Two great examples lol. I hope we don't actually have to wait over a year to see how this turns out.

Ha...do you really wanna get me started? I will break out the charts, polling, and 20 page thesis on how the Chadwick sculpt was the biggest bait and switch scam of HT history!!!

I still regret not picking up Yondu...what a magnificent sculpt and overall figure!!! But my rule at the time was he's not even an A-tier character, so I'd be splurging on something non-essential...ever since that debacle I have said I must buy as long as the portrait is DOPE!!!

For anyone still on the fence on this one, I see Timcent (Toys Buying Agent - new website) has a great price on this figure.

$227 shipped.

I love the fact that now HK sellers prices are so affordable.

Anybody know how much later that later batch is exactly compared to Sideshow getting theirs in hand. If there’s even a known answer to that.

I believe it means it will be closer to sideshow instead of the HK first releases.

Later Batch means main production batch. So the same time as Sideshow. Sometimes even a bit earlier when SS doesn't kick up a stink

 

[Jaycepticon]

Thanks, guys. That definitely seems the way to go although a first batch isn't as bad as I thought it'd be.

Time is money, after all.

Im thinking of transitioning from Sideshow to HK sellers since I save some money and tax...

I'm tempted to switch going forward but would likely not have the discipline not to choose that "first batch" option which would negate all of my tax savings. Most of my Sideshow preorders were placed in 2019 so tax won't be applicable on those. Wish I wouldn't have waited so long to PO the Hulkbuster

Frankly the wait on the Hot Toys figure of her from Captain Marvel is killing me crummy that ebay charges sales tax for a transaction from a seller outside the US...Call me crazy am I the only who also wants a figure of her as Vers?

Well I did see this earlier today on Sideshow, not sure when it will come up for pre order (it could be a long time) ...

You're not alone, I would definitely want the Vers Starforce suit!!!!!!

I'm speculating it's not up for pre-order due to licensing issues; as I do not see as much Starforce CM merchandise compared to the regular CM stuff (again I'm just speculating). I would have thought it'd been put up for a regular PO, but alas. Perchance they'll release it as a toy fair exclusive later on.

Really ??? That surprises me

That was shown at last years SDCC (along with Yon-Rogg) & I'm still not convinced it will ever see the light of day.
These take years from being teased at SDCC to make it to product
Take the Arkham Knight Batgorl figure for Example...first teased at SDCC in 2018, only just gone up for Pre-order & not due until Q2 2021!!

Take this with a massive pinch of salt & prepare to be let down
