They are catching up to demand but in the wrong way. Their brilliant idea is ship more cases. Well guess what, there's only one of those per pack so now we are flooded with figures everyone has and the 3000 IM's at Wal-Mart's are going to show Hasbro the figures failed. They need to ship more balanced cases and cut back on the double cap's and IM's. The WM by my house seems to have gotten 3 more cases (mind you I bought the entire first case before it hit the floor) and the only figures missing are Hulk and Hawkeye

That's true. The case breakdown isn't helping, but these sure aren't piling up by me. A couple WM's by me have been getting two cases a week, and believe it or not, someone is buying those IM's up here.

I don't know about the IM, since it is an old figure, but what I don't understand is why when decisions were made about this, was it decided to make double as many Cap figures as The Hulk... unless there will be another wave where they can slip the single packed figs from wave one in and they've been making as many Hulks, as Caps, but I doubt that's the case.

Cap and IM were probably easier to produce.

managed to be one of the 3000 people worldwide that picked up the hot toys avengers edition mark VI from sideshow. loving the new paint deco they did on him, i always found the IM 2 version to be too dark due to the battle damaged parts having to match the rest of the body.

also managed to find a few deals around and picked up various other things as pictured.
on a side note: if anyone has a loose or carded ultimate ironman from the IM 2 3.75 line thats willing to trade for a carded concept hammer drone pm me.

Also, I had to pass on the avengers six inchers. they had all but hawkeye and hulk, which i missed out by probably a few hours.

same here this week!

That IronMan figure is sick! I want him but hard to justify the pricetag.

zeldaman33 · 06-21-2012, 01:45 PM

I don't know where to ask this, but was there a hot toys hulk ever released?

yeah the aftermarket in practiular is insane on hot toys stuff, generally it doubles the price tag. i already had the first release of the VI armor but when i seen the avengers version go up on sideshow for $180 that price was just too good to let him go. esscially seeing how its a limted release, the price is already insane on the aftermarket for it. its nearly triple what it sells for...yikes!

not yet, the first will be the avengers version which wont be out until sometime next year. he is also in scale with the 12" so he is huge...which means the price will aslo likely be huge as well =/

there is backstage at hot toys pics of the wip on him if you search

What this guy said and by pricey he means, Ironman is 12'' and $2-300 depending on the figure. Hulk will be probably 17-20'' tall range and will be heavy, larger box, higher shipping. I could see hulk being shipped for High $300-500 range.

Hulk97 · 06-21-2012, 02:04 PM

I'm getting all the Hot Toys Avengers

Hulk is around 16-18" tall going off the teaser pic and price will be as said around $350-450 imo. He's gonna be a BEAST and his HS is around the size of the palm of your hand. Can't wait to have them all assembled in a custom display case with Loki up in a corner looking down on them

That will be an ENORMOUS display case, lol. Can't wait to see them all together, hopefully they'll have a teaser at SDCC.

megajonzero · 06-21-2012, 03:32 PM

Has anybody bought the new Mezco Earthworm Jim figure? I got confirmation mine was shipped out but I still have yet to see anybody mention anything about it. Does no one care about poor old Jim!?

It's the neca T2. I didn't know there were two, there's battledamaged and regular. I thought I bought the regular. he comes with that rifle and with my other one he'd have two like in the movie. But oh well
