When a figure is announced it will be available to preorder usually within a day or two. It likely will take 1-2 years to be released and once it sells out of stores the only place to find it is the secondary market. RSVP is something you will need to do for limited run figures in order to have a chance to preorder. Waitlist figures on sideshow means they are sold out but you have a slim chance to get it if someone cancels if you sign up for waitlist.

@@thejediknightswatch Much appreciated bud. Have slowly come to learn about the ~ 12-24mo avg MFG lead time, which is wild to me- enthusiasts get jazzed considerably this month about a figure next Summer or Spring 2026! Thanks for the def. of "announcements"; didn't really know that. Though im tied into SS's site & media output options like texting & Twitter & KZbin (don't do FB or TicTok), you cats' YT efforts (which IS work I understand) is useful= how we've learned to date. Have quickly learned what's important to some collectors is ties to a series vs movies vs comics vs animation, etc. Anyway, keep up the quality stuff & entertaining vids bud. 💪 (Added) Am slowly/still learning the diffs. with YT hosted previews vs reviews vs early influencers openings along w/ ETAs diffs in China vs Europe, and us in the US, etc. Figures shipping TODAY to Joe Public may have been reviewed 3-12+ mos earlier on YT! Crazy stuff.

@@DanielHog13 the wait time is slow and painful. Not for the impatient lol

Agreed 💯

Thanks for watching Brad. I’m with you, need to see the pricing

It’s $336 HKD so should be $450-460

That would be interesting!

Haha love the cosplay analogy🤣

Yes this one was well deserved!

Lucky for me the luke doesn’t interest me. My wallet is safe lol

Lucky for me my wallet is marked safe from most of these but this maul is a must!

It’s been a good day for sure!

Oh yeah!!🤘🏻🐺

This!

I’ve been lucky to really only be interested in this Maul and maybe ROTJ trooper but damn, so good for Star Wars fans lately!

@@thejediknightswatch indeed!

I’m with you man! I feel like the old grumpy guy with all these reissues. This one though makes sense as that head sculpt was never great.

Remember it's not about you or I or anyone else. It's about making money, for filling contracts and keeping contracts. If you want future figures then the company has to keep going and the most important and popular characters will always get reissued always new ppl coming into the hobby HT doesn't care what figures are going on secondary market they want to have the sales themselves.

@@NinjaSquirrel30 yep I totally understand that. Still get salty though🤣

Should be on sideshow shortly for preorder. Underground figures and CollectorZown are other great options

I’m really impressed with the new sculpts but yeah the base was a major kick in the pants

Really just can’t make everyone happy 🤷

​@Gosling_dkc like my name implies, it hits everyone differently. I'd put this up there with the Catwoman 2.0. Some may claim it's a lazy release, others say it's a masterpiece

Thanks for watching and sharing. Way to be patient!

lol🤣

I'm with you on being underwhelmed as of late, but I do think this Maul is so awesome and very welcomed! But yeah OT and even prequels seems to be getting lost in the shuffle lately.

Thanks for watching! I'm not 100% sure, but it would make sense for hot toys to keep it the same. I would be shocked if they changed it.

Yes, its def a great day for Star Wars collectors! I'm not too bummed about my Maul cause I think I'll keep him and upgrade him through this new one.

Thats what I like to hear! lol

Its that good! Congrats!

You of all people have to be super pumped for this! Well worth taking the hit on the wallet lol

@@thejediknightswatch itll be my second preorder ever lol

Thanks for watching Patrick! I def can get behind a reissue/2.0 when the upgrades are as good as this one is!

And looks like the Maul 2.0 is happening! Along with Dark Empire Luke lol

@@jimcollector look at that! Ask and you shall receive lol

@@thejediknightswatch yep.. I totally manifested that. You can thank me later 😂😂

Thanks for watching and commenting my friend! Dope list and jar jar would be big for a lot of collectors! Honestly don’t know why they wouldn’t make him

Lint roller works best! Or soft vacuum attachment

Nice

Yep, there are 2 notches at the bottom to run cables.

Yes they are!

@@thejediknightswatch Wow! They look fantastic!

@@Elcaminotodeath thanks!

@@thejediknightswatch anytime Brotha

Thank you! 🤘🏻🐺

To each their own but I’ve owned both detolfs and the mono and I can say the mono is built 10x better. Detolfs were loved by collectors and now that they are discontinued I’m sure a large number of collectors would jump at this.

Thanks for watching sneaker🤘🏻🐺

Thanks for sharing! I’m very curious to see if we get a joker 2.0. Everything from 89 is being reissued but not sure if they still have Jack Nicholson license.

@@thejediknightswatch yeah me too, some people say is because he doesn't want to sell his license or something, also he never gives interviews, it's a shame because he is a legend and this Joker is iconic, Hot Toys would have announced with all the Batmobile and Batman if it wasn't a problem, let's hope, do you imagine an artisan '89 Joker?

@@hadrifter25 I’ve heard at his age he doesn’t care about that stuff anymore so yeah it could be difficult

Thanks for watching! It’s really hard to find Buffalo trace around here and if you can it’s usually expensive. Fun to search for it tho!

Thanks for watching Brick! I agree, I like seeing the personal side of people’s collecting😀

Haha my wallet is safe for the most part, thankfully 🤣

Can’t go wrong with T2 and 89! Thanks for always watching Wolfpack on replay. I really appreciate anyone who tunes in whenever they can🤘🏻🤘🏻🐺

That’s a great story man! Thanks for watching and sharing!

Thanks mark!

100% my friend! Good times

Spoken like a true gentlemen!

Thanks!

I hear ya! My dad was a huge influence on a lot of these things I love. I’m glad sideshow is making the Clint Eastwood figures as my dad loves him and I love a lot of his movies. Getting William Munny

Dude that’s awesome! I’m glad HT brought back your love of Star Wars! Keep on collecting my friend!

It’s really cool to be able to take a piece of your childhood memories and have it in your display to always hold onto

Haha🤣 you’d get charged if you didn’t rewind
