    For me, the Hot Toys figures are basically posable statues. Like a statue, they aren't meant to be played with, but, unlike a statue, they aren't frozen in one position. I have a few, mostly just my favorite characters, and that's it.

    I really genuinely appreciate this review Nate, because after getting my Hot Toys Revan in on Monday, my thoughts were pretty much exactly the same as yours. I just felt whelmed. It’s great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not some life changing end all, be all, sell your entire collection type figure. I just couldn’t help but feel that it wasn’t worth the very expensive price that it cost. At the end of the day, it’s just a big action figure that because of soft goods clothing, feels like a doll, and I was clearly expecting it to be a more high end collectible, like a statue. Some of this is likely because of unreasonably high expectations, but like you said, the very first thing I noticed was how lightweight it felt in my hand. I was expecting something heavier and more premium feeling. And the hood has the same exact issues that Black Series hoods have, so that was a disappointment too.
    It sounds like I dislike it more than I actually do, as I still really do like it, but I have more critiques than I thought I would. I’m just glad that someone else feels the same way about their first Hot Toys, because after discussing it on MNF, I felt like I was taking crazy pills since no one felt like I did. So thanks for that brother!
    And Justin, I heard that! But yeah honestly with me already not caring as much about articulation as sculpt, I don’t see myself moving this big doll around much lol.
    I also agree with the whole “just wait and see, you’ll become a Hot Toys collector soon enough” thing. I don’t see that happening to me. I have my Revan, probably will pick up a new ESB Vader if they make one, and that’ll be that. I could see my mind being changed if they released an EU Thrawn, Kanan Jarrus, or more KOTOR characters, but that’s really all that could possibly sway me. Otherwise, I’m good with just Revan for the foreseeable future.

    I bought 2 Hot Toys, Mando Boba and CW R2-D2 thinking this after I got them but for me the shine wore off quickly. They are AWESOME make no exceptions here but definitely not as fun as smaller figures IMO. My desktop continually rotates TBS but I am still trying to figure out where to put these 2 huge figures that don't match anything else. Worth it if you have the space to display and actually pose. In the end I feel like they are just really really expensive dolls.

    • @Darth_Bennett
      @Darth_Bennett 5 дней назад

      Do you mean shine as in the figures or as a figure of speech. Like literally the colour went dull on the figure you must keep them contained and dust / smoke free really and not touch them without clean or gloved hands. I do the same with my Black Series I always dust them and I can't have them in my bedroom because I smoke so I keep them in the kitchen. I notice if I clean them it's bad also. Just gentle swap with water.

    • @Darth_Bennett
      @Darth_Bennett 5 дней назад +1

      Ye they are dolls but I'd say Funko are dolls and bobble heads at least they are highly hyper realistic in quality and I think the collections I see with 200 hot toys all in lighted cabinets just lifeless rows of sticks thousands of pounds worth just to stand straight in rows is to much and it's more museum then passion .

  • @MonarchLMC

    The USB feature for the lights are way better than batteries because they can damage the figure from the constant battery swapping,especially if the lithium acid leaks into the figure. It's strange at first, but you'll get used to it. Great review guys, this was a nice rare change up 👍

    Happy for you, brother! Darth Revan is a great one and done option. I have mine in a pretty sick pose and love looking at him everytime i go into the Fig room.
    The hood can be cumbersome for sure. Wish they did that a lil better, but it still can look amazing.
    If you want an idea to use the usb light up feature without having to plug them into an outlet, then i recommend using a power block charger that is wireless. You can get them kind of cheap, and they have a blethera of uses. Its portable and not a big space eater as well. If you want more details, just hit me up.
    Its a double-edged sword with HT and i feel you said what alot of us think. It has the potential to pose and have fun with, but it also makes you not want to go too hard with them given price and delicacy of the figure. Why I only change poses on mine every frw months if that.

    The thing that keeps me from getting into Hot Toys is deciding which one! Seems like I need to see reviews and maintenance advice half the time, and with the cost, I want a perfect centrepiece. And that's what I'd use them as -- centrepieces. It's the same way I'd treat Perfect Grade gunpla. They're too big and expensive, and the character selection too limited, to be my *main* line.

    Plus 44 Marvel Legends. I just wanted a Spider-Man.

I bring this up only to let people know that you can probably save some money in the second hand market on certain ones. Pretty sure I saw Ahsoka for 30% off on Sideshow's own site not too long ago.

I clearly jump shit and clearly up to 30 figures. My end game was a journey due to space, but have no regrets. I still have my bs in boxes, never been out. Im kind of sad to see my money go to the 6inch figures and not into them. After seeing the details on a hot toy, I cant go back to black series line.

    Hot Toys are so vastly different from what TBS and even imports are that I don’t think they’re really comparable. Hot Toys are highly detailed adult collector’s pieces that aren’t really meant to be played with. TBS figures are kids toys that adults might enjoy as well. There is a case for owning both. I’ll never be able to 3D print a diorama for my Hot Toys collection. But Hasbro will never make a figure as good as my Hot Toys Stormtrooper. -Wilbon

    I want Hasbro to take a page out of this and give us light up saber options. The electronics in the bicep or torso or something. I got four Hot Toys and it definitely doesn’t feel like I’m aloud to play with them because it’s like a work of art. Wish Hasbro would up-scale some of their heavy hitters from the black series 6” so there’s something cheaper than Hot Toys that you can bonk around and play with.

    Interesting to see your overall reaction to this and I've just read a comment here from someone who has just bought 2 Hot Toys for the first time, and effectively labels them large, expensive dolls... Even with money no object, and a load of space, I'm not entirely convinced. There's no doubt they are beautiful things, but there really are limits to what you can do with them. I've just put a 6-inch scale Echo Base Hanger Door diorama together for an 8ft square+ base Hoth scene, which has 3 Tauntauns, 2 Wampas, 2 Turrets, Radar Canons and 50 Hoth Rebel figures on it...

    I own three Hot Toys figures (Paz Viszla, the Rogue One Assault Tank Driver, and the Biker Scout) but I keep them in the box because I live in a desert environment that is NOT friendly to displaying expensive items outside of airtight acrylic cases. I also own a couple of Sideshow 1/6 figures (the TIE Fighter Pilot and AT-AT Driver); but I also keep them in their boxes for the exact same reason (needless to say, I share Anakin Skywalker's hatred of sand).
    So, with as costly as each figure is and being afraid to display them, I realized that it doesn't really make much sense to buy too many more. I guess it depends on which characters Hot Toys or Sideshow decide to make next. I would actually like for Hot Toys to make their own versions of the TIE Pilot and AT-AT Driver. The Sideshow version are fine if you are happy with 85%-90% screen accuracy; but Hot Toys versions would be able to deliver 99%-100% screen accuracy.

I surely do think they are epic detailed pieces, but just not something that makes financial sense with collecting, as it's just one big pricey action figure at the end of the day.

    I bought my first Hot Toy about seven years ago. I had it for a year and then sold it. The damn thing made me nervous. I was always afraid that I would break it. In the end, I figured they just were not for me. I like to handle stuff. You can't play with a Hot Toy.

    Great choice nate i wonder which one justin will choose *cough max reebo 😂 id say . I think presence is key and Vadar Maul Grevious Chewbacca but the droids are lovely R2 and C3P0 would look nice . I think for the price of one Hottoys you can get 18+ new black series figures or many SH / Mafexs. Or even a Ps5 lol. But for me the good investments are the characters like Revan and the legends versions that are not mass produced / re released in time the scarcity will be appreciated

    I cannot understand the hype with Hot Toys. When people say it is a premium product, it is alright to me but it is still far away from being worth the price tag by far. Not even for 150$ I would get a Hot Toy figure. The only Figures I would like to have are Baby Groot and Grogu, because they are pretty much rela life size which is fun to me.
    I also don't like the scale, it is just weird to me. I mean I just think about how many Black Series or Four Horsemen figures I can buy for +300€ and imo the value doesn't fit the price at all.
    Anyways I hope you enjoy your Hot Toys Darth Revan!!! Don't wanna rain on your parade!😅

  • @katlinfergusson8169

    Hot Toys is the company that makes the figures and Sideshow is the distributor. Two different companies. Just got Revan in myself and the only thing that needs work on the figure is the hood. Fabric is way too thick. As a person that has a couple hundred Hot Toys, they are amazing. A few misses here and there like the Black Series, but more hits than misses.

    • @OutOfTheBasement
      @OutOfTheBasement  4 дня назад

      Thank you, I agree the hood continues to be my only real issue with this figure. It’s not major but still. Maybe if they do more KOTOR stuff in the future, I’ll get them but Revan is keeping me satisfied for now. -Nate

    Welcome to the dark side, young Padawan! I too have been doubting some of my Black Series choices after being seduced by other scales. I've been buying 1/9 Batman figures by Fondjoy and 1/10 Marvel from ZD Toys. They cost about the same as BS, but, you get alternate hands and heads and display bases, plus they're bigger. That said, Hasbro have tempted me back with the Marvel Legends Deadpool and Wolverine. The latter comes with a dead on Hugh Jackman head, so, if they can do that for Marvel, why can't they do a good Mark Hamill or Harrison Ford for Star Wars!?

    I just have one as well, I got the battle damage Vader from the obi wan show. I m scared to even take it out of the box TBH. That's where things like black series prevail to me anyway. Plus they are super expensive and it seems like they are getting cheaper and cheaper, quality wise as the price just goes up. I like them but unless it's a character that I really enjoy, like Vader, I don't buy it them
