Is it just me that find Hot Toys to be very addicting?

[JohnnyT]

I am using my 100th post to tell the world, "My name is John, and yes, I too am an addict. I have over 30 Hot Toys! I lie to myself and say that people must have more. There must be people that have 50, 80, or even more than 100. Those people are addicted, not me. They are sick. I am a casual collector, just passing the time with a hobby. I don't need any of the Hot Toys. Well, maybe just a Robocop, but then I will stop. I can stop whenever I want. I don't have to collect. I just don't want to stop. I can stop right now. See, I stopped, to type this. This whole time I am typing I am not buying or selling, or gawking at any figures. See how easy it is! I am glad I am not addicted. Probably just after they make Iron Monger, then I will stop. Yeah, that sounds good. I am off now. I am giving blood today for cash, then going to my fourth job, need the money you know. Not for toys, no, not me. No, I like to work for my figures. Remember, I can stop anytime. I am not addicted like you. Not me! Never! I need more! Somebody help me! For God sakes, help me!!!!!

P.S. Can't wait for my Bruce Lee to arrive!

I was definitely addicted to hot toys, but I've sold most of hot toys figures and I'm down to 3 (I didn't really have many). I'm more of a customs addict now, that's a worse addiction (and more time consuming) imo. Though I have spiderman, jack sparrow on preorder and plan to get superman and keaton bats when they come out (i guess they sucked me back in!)

What were you guys collecting before you got addicted to hot toys (or were you collecting at all)? I'm particularly curious about those who've racked up 50+ figures in just the last few months.

Don't understand doll collectors. The little clothes thing and playing dress up is pretty creepy.

Very simple to explain. If you like premium format statue, Hot Toys is the same. Only smaller, more detail, cheaper but has more value. Have u ever hold a HT in your hands? If not, U R MISSING OUT.

I think Bodie prefers a sausage in his palm.
I've held a HT before...thought it was going to fall apart. I don't think these expensive toys will stand the test of time.

I think Bodie prefers to pee on cheerios. I suppose its too plain for him?


Maybe I'll buy a HT one day.

Depends on how long that timeline is DD - I am confident that these figures will last at least until my time on this earth has expired

My first two hot toys were without fabric, so it felt like i could justify to people better at it being an action figure, bit now people just say dolls, and i dont care cos they are awesome.

i have to agree with you, but i'm moving more to statue. but i'm still collecting ht. only limiting it

 

[ToastedFred]

I for one do find Hot Toys quite addictive. I used to only purchase Medicom Riders, and then I saved up and got my first Hot Toy, Ezio. Since then, I've bought 3 more and the list of wants is just increasing.

I took my sony 50" off the wall to add more detolfs for my Hot Toys but im not addicted. Somebody help me

Now that's hardcore. I'll trade u my 24" for your 50"? U'll get lots of space from me!

 

[AARON691983]

Or I can sell it and get more hot toys

 

[Judgepup]

What started as a grail hunt for the HT Terminator endo has blossomed(mutated?) into a Terminator T-800, T2 T-800, 2 T-600s (standard and skin), the T-700 Dio, John Connor (for kitbashing) Iron Man Mk III and Mk VI (Mk V on order). And that's only the ones I absolutely couldn't resist. And I must say, these pieces are among the finest, most detailed figures in existence. Looking forward to more from the Terminator line - specifically BD versions of both T-800s, the MGS and Suckerpunch lines.

Don't worry I can help you! Feel free to ship me the 50" and you'll have even more space for 1/6 figures!

I have just entered into the realm of Hot Toys... I just purchased a Mark III Iron Man for 1$174.99... did I pay too much?

I think that's a good price having seen them for $200+ on Ebay auctions recently. Welcome to the crack er... Freak house btw

 

[spindrift]

Must stay away from Freaks and the marketplace in particular- IT makes you a true addicted Freak so to speak....

I also bash and pretty much only use HT parts and TT and muscle bodies, which I have about 30 of. I'm kind of bummed because I only got into collecting HT in late 2009 so I missed out some of their earlier pieces.
