Hot Toys Battle Angel Alita

Where can I see the daft toy announcement?

Now I'm going to need to get a third Alita figure lol.

I'll probably just try to pick up a parted-out head for this look, since everything else can be put on a generic female body. Seems like it would be a waste to buy an entire 3rd figure when you'll just be covering most of it up in the end.

It's on their Facebook page under Daftoys.

You'd need the boots too.

 

[davejames]

Well I would likely use the boots from the figure I'm displaying in the full berserker body. I probably would need to get another sword though.

 

[Underworld54]

Any ballpark guesses on how much this Daft Toys set will go for?

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

I'd guess at least $80-90. The recent TDK Joker set was $95.

That would be reasonable.

Woohoo, I finally received my first figure from Sideshow today, and it looks just as impressive in hand as I expected, and is clearly going to be a really fun figure to pose. Yeah the hair is distractingly flat on the sides, but it's something I can probably live with for the time being.

I do wish they had given us a metal sword though, as it has a very plastic look to it. So think my first mod may be applying some silver rub n buff to shine it up a bit more.

wow, i like the daft toys outfit! I was able to snag a parted out Alita head and was thinking to do a bash by myself with the boots and a set of hands, that otherwise would rest in the package. Thanks for the heads up! ^_^

Not sure why it took so long but I finally got my shipping notice!

The Jki customs hairpiece is going to be 315? lol...yeah, no thanks.

It looked decent, but like $115 decent.

It looks great but paying $150 more than the actual figure itself for a hairpiece is ludicrous. They are only doing a run of 15 lol.

Man i kinda want to get another Alita just for the daft toys look.
I posted this before, but if HT released another version just like that with the correct arms, i would buy it for sure. Keep the same original body and everything, new arms and new costume, maybe head with painted red under the eyes... instant buy

I've seen custom sculpts that were cheaper than that. Paying that much money for some teeny tiny wig is pure insanity.

And that's euros too...so about $400 U.S...insanity is right.

I just realized one issue with the Daftoys outfit is it's tailored for her taller berzerker body instead of the smaller doll body she actually had at the time, but I know they didn't have much choice on that. I'll have to see if I can find a body that has those smaller kind of proportions...

Got her in today! Gotta say she was well worth the wait! Not a perfect figure mind you, but a stunning and highly articulated on nonetheless! Would post pics but I can't ever figure out how to orient them properly on here.
