Re: Your very first HT

My very first Hot Toys figure was the original Bank Robber Joker from The Dark Knight.

It's funny looking back at it now, because I can see all the flaws and the things that could have been improved upon, but at the time all I couldn't even believe it. I had never seen a figure of that quality. It was a christmas gift- all I told my family I wanted that year (because I knew it was pricey).

It didn't disappoint me and started a very expensive obsession.

My first Hot Toys figure was the DX03 Michael Jackson "BAD" version.
 
Re: Your very first HT

I've only started collecting recently. The first one I purchased was the IM mk 43. I bought it after hearing of the July revisions to the Hulkbuster (which I pre-ordered). The first one that I pre-ordered was Deadpool (still waiting for it to arrive).

Hot Toys Amazing Spider-Man. It got **** on a lot over on these boards, but it really is a great figure, although, I must admit, not enough articulation in the neck while wearing the mask.
 
Re: Your very first HT

This was mine and still in my possession. Ordered back before the head was revised. Wish they would've kept the original sculpt

Rocky balboa. Glad I started collecting when I did.
 
Re: Your very first HT

I think I ordered Ripley first, but that put RoboCop on my radar, which I actually received in-hand first.

I still have her, albeit with a custom head.
 
Re: Your very first HT

My first was the Tom Cruise look-a-like F-14 pilot around the year 2000:

Re: Your very first HT

I can't remember for sure, but I think it was either Bespin Luke or Christopher Reeve Superman, whichever was released first.

Also, early Hot Toys for me was the first Keaton Batman and red and blue Spider-Man from Spider-Man 3.
 
Re: Your very first HT

Anyone remember this..my first HT been collecting these far too long

 
Re: Your very first HT

My first was the original Joker from the Dark Knight which went for a whopping $113. 8 years later and figures seem to average nearly $100 more although there have been vast improvements.
 
Re: Your very first HT

OG Joker from The Dark Knight. Yes the one with the horrible sculpt. That and the first original Batman from The Dark Knight.
