  1. Oh wow, that's a big gun @Benoit46! That Batman is gorgeous! ? The price would have given me nightmares but who am I to talk ... I have 3 Iron Studios pieces and those aren't exactly cheap either. ^^ But yeah, amazing piece. :) How heavy is he? I myself decided to venture a bit from the MCU and got this guy here in yesterday. :) The sculpt is no Hot Toys quality but I doubt there's any other company with that kinda detail so I'm totally fine with how he looks. The clothing is really cool. I'd go as far and say it's better than Hot Toys coz the material Asmus used is thin, feels nice to the touch and is functional. It doesn't hinder articulation in any way and it doesn't feel like I have to be careful when posing him which is so good. :) With some HT figures it feels as though simply looking at them will make some seams rip or cause something to fall off. ? This guy here feels quite sturdy and the joints aren't too loose so he holds poses very well. :) Overall, I'm absolutely happy here and can't wait for Gimli! The dwarf is the reason for me caving in and ordering LOTR figures, btw. ^^ The prototype looked so good and I love Gimli, so I knew when I was gonna order him, Legolas had to be ordered too. So here I am. XD
  2. Thanks guys! Yeah, she's such a beauty. I can't really say which I prefer ... TWS or CW Nat ... ? They're both stunning so in the end I'm glad I got them both now. ?
  3. @Benoit46, @extantsrevenge and @DParadigm Thanks guys! I'm so happy they're all finally here. It's so hard to wait patiently when everyone online already has them for months but German shops get them so late. ? Just did a photo shoot with Rocket and he's so awesome. ? I love the Coon. Oh I also pulled the trigger on TWS Nat two weeks ago. Found her for 130€ so I really couldn't say no to that, now could I? Now I'm wondering what the hell was wrong with me not getting her immediately when I started collecting. It's my fave version of her character in the MCU ... fave storyline, fave representation .. fave hair style. I just always thought she had the 'empty dead eyes' look and that the CW version was so superior that I never really contemplated getting her. Man, how wrong I was. While I still think the CW version has the better expression and looks 'alive', I can see why a lot of people still say TWS Nat is their fave HT Widow. ?
  4. Got 3 new figures this week. I had them all on preorder but customs took ages to finally release them. Star-Lord ... ... man, what an awesome figure! Easy to pose, super versatile due to lots of accessories and display options and just super fun. Rocket ... ... who, against my initial plan, will not go with Star-Lord but with these gzys here coz ... they make a 'fun' group. Aaand of course ... the baby Groot. Who is currently staying at my desk.
  5. Although, to be honest, I probably won't get her unless she comes with a major upgrade. As much as I love Wanda. The amount of figures for IW will be insane and I really need to be picky. I got a wishlist of 6 or 7 characters and I'm trying to stick to those only and not stray from them. ?
  6. Congrats @Benoit46! I love the CW version! ? Will be interesting to see if she'll get a new figure for IW.
  7. Honestly, the only reason I didn't have to pay is coz I requested an investigation as to the location of my package as after 2 weeks it was still held by customs without any update. And seeing the value Loontentoys put on the package, it's not surprising. I mean, come on ... $0.05? That's ridiculous. Another friend got her package from him to but with her he put the full vslue and she had to pay custom fees.
  8. I also caved in and finally bought this guy here. I got a lot to re-glue but I got him for a great price so I'm not complaining.
  9. Seriously, this guy is amazing. ? Totally one of my fave HT right now.
  10. Finally received my Spidey from Loontentoys and luckily didn’t even have to pay custom fees. ? Which is a miracle as he put a value of 0.05 ... which is ridiculously low, no wonder customs didn’t wanna release him. Anyway, I'm really happy with the cutie and can't wait for the weekend so I can finally pose him and take loads of pics.
  11. It's not really about what they write on the package though. They can write $10, if custom offices suspect it's a lie coz come on, the package is big and weights about 2 kg, then they'll hold it and request an invoice. Seeing how long it's being held already, I'll have to pay. What I don't know is why it's taking so damn long ... hopefully they don't cut it open ... if they do and the HT box is damaged I'll request a full refund and buy it locally. ?
  12. My order from Loontentoys is taking about a month already ... over a week in customs now so yeah ... no luck for me with that seller and neither fir a friend in Austria. Shipping takes ages.
  13. @Sheikah As I said, it's magnetic so no tricks. I got metal beams on my balcony so he crawls those up like the pro that he is.
  14. Oh you've seen my IG? ? There are many different Groots too so it's hard to pick just one. ? I'm getting another Spidey coz these are just too adorable. I can't resist. I also have the Cosbaby Vulture on the way. ♥
  15. I absolutely will! In the meantime ... I added another Spidey to my collection and he's probably the cutest. I mean, even cuter than the Nendoroid. Check out the Hot Toys Cosbaby Spidey! ♥ He is magnetic and can crawl up anything that is made from metal. ? I also got a Baby Groot Cosbaby yesterday, here next to my Steve and Bucky.
  16. Sadly, it will take a few more days to find out. I kinda fear they will coz HT are quite heavy but part of me is still hopeful. ?
  17. @deeii Congrats on your purchase! ? I'm excited to see which HT you picked! My first packagefrom Loontentoys just arrived at my country's customs so let's see how that goes. ? Hopefully Spidey will be sneaky and avoid custom fees ...
  18. @extantsrevenge You should have seen my collection of anime figures about 2 years ago ... I had like 300 scales, it was crazy. Sold most of them to afford the Hot Toys though so now I only have about 40 or 50 left. ^^ I display most of them in the bedroom Detolfs. Regarding your Sakura, if it's your only anime figure, finding a place for her shouldn't be hard. I got my Spidey and Cap Nendoroids on my desk and I generally put them wherever I feel they look good. But I remember when I got my first 1/4 statue, I had no idea where to put that, so I feel ya. ? You'll find a place for her. Speaking of anime figures, it's been ages that I bought one coz I need my funds for HT (lol) but I got one today as well. Couldn't resist this special army color Luffy Scultures. ? I already have the regular edition and it's one of my fave figures so I had to get this as well. ? Old habits die hard.
  19. Yeah and the worst is that the led strips they replaced them with are only sold in a set of 3 ... but you need 4 for a Detolf. ?
  20. HT = Hot Toys, they're the action figures @Benoit46 and I have shared pics of here.
  21. Believe me, there are enough sources for figures out there, no group buy is needed. ? My local shop btw has a profit margin of about 5€ per HT figure. ?
  22. They sometimes have nice deals and you get points for each purchase so it's good of you to point them out. They're also a distributor for Iron Studios which is huge coz before they took them on, people only had the way of importing the statues from Brazil and that qas crazy expensive.
  23. Way too expensive for everyone in the EU coz it's a US based shop. And I guess everyone who collects statues and HT knows Sideshow, they're main distributor for many lines.
