Hey guys,great video,nice points that you both touch on about collecting,so far i have about 18 Hot toys (surprisingly to me also!) 😳 haven't at present got them on display,what are your thoughts on rubber arms?,until Shuri recently i kept away from them,still prefer jointed arms for longevity!

[@thejediknightswatch]

Hey thanks for watching! I haven’t had a ton of experience with rubber arms but have heard of you keep them in strenuous poses for long periods of time the rubber can tear. So I wouldn’t say stay away from them just maybe keep them in more of a museum pose.

@@thejediknightswatch Oh most definitely! 😁 it started with Mezco for me (& a fairly large collection!) 🙄 I vowed to never collect Hot toys because of the prices!,just over a couple of years ago i paid £200 for Mezco Punisher!,& thought for a little more i could buy a Hot toy!,& that's my story for why i am now SCREWED!!,i also subbed 👍

[@thejediknightswatch]

That story sounds familiar haha. Thanks for subbing!

ive been looking at hot toys the past few weeks thinking about buying my first one. and the one they have in stock right now is the one I want the most. Empire Strikes Back Boba Fett. so that is probably gonna be my first figure!! what do u guys think?

[@thejediknightswatch]

That’s a great choice! I have that figure as well and like it a lot. I would say, for your first figure get a character that means a lot to you. If that’s boba fett, do it!! Haha

[@dean4125]

@@thejediknightswatch thanks I wish the figures werent so expensive lol. I have a ton of Vintage Collection figures and the one I like the most is the new Return of the Jedi Boba Fett so it only makes sense to get a Boba Fett for my first Hot Toys figure

[@thejediknightswatch]

I agree. They can be very expensive, but once you get it in hand you’ll be blown away!

[@dean4125]

@@thejediknightswatch well I finally got a hot toys Stormtrooper on ebay 😀. So excited to get one. Mms514. It was $318 shipped 😆

[@thejediknightswatch]

Most European countries have retailers who distribute from sideshow, but I don’t know if any in particular unfortunately. Hope this link helps!
