Totally agree with you about the bad batch being future grails.I was on the fence about getting them,but have now bought Crosshair,Hunter and Echo and have Wrecker and Tech on order.
Favorite Figure of the Year is one that I don't think I'll ever have the opportunity to buy, since Hot Toys decided the main looks for one of the most hyped games of the year should be limited releases 🙄 Really hoping that we get a re-release of Advanced Suit 2.0 and Upgraded Suit 2.0
Imo, grails may not be a thing for every collector, especially with the cost of collecting 1/6 figures. Like the whole saying of one man's trash is another man's treasure, what one person considers a grail may not necessarily be a grail for the others. Like let's say Yondu, it looks great, but even as a Marvel collector, I don't really care for it. If you buy something because a number in the community agree that it is a grail, but you end up not liking it, then it's a waste of money. I'm a believer that you buy what you really want. No need to be pressured that you are missing out on a "grail".
I love Ahsoka, but it deserves to be in the Meh category based on the headsculpt alone. I love the outfit and the base etc but the sculpt just was not it for me. I look forward to the new one because the sculpt is sooo much better
I am getting a lot of Star Wars figures however I won't be getting the Bad Batch due to budget and space. I feel sad that they will be grails but won't have them but we can't have it all.
Pretty good and agreeable ranking overall. But, your bias for Star Wars and against Marvel was just a tad too prevalent. Some Star wars stuff should have been lower, some Marvel should have been higher. You're way off on Kate Bishop, should be higher. That stealth iron man and the comic origins are all sideshow tier. Koska Reeves is HOT! Other than those exceptions I was in 100% agreement.
Genuine question, not being a smart ass. Outside of limited pieces, you truly believe grails will be a thing? I am more pessimistic than you. PS carnage is top tier if you get him in hand. Top 5 release of 2023.
The thing with Future Grails is just about availability, that is heavy reliant not only in the demand of it, but also the offer. If you ask me, Sam Wilson is not something many people want because the show was not something big in terms of audience acceptance. We don't know the production batches tho. In my case, I've zero interest on him. Same for me with the bad batch figures or moonknight for example. Indeed in general the "tier list" is based on hype for the character. May be in the asian market the Shang Chi figures are Future Grails although I wouldn't pose them in my collection even for free, but I wouldn't pose Fennec Shand either. The 100WB Batman was just horrible ... that mix of blue on Bale's suit ... was just bad .. a total sideshow for me.
I found your reasoning for some of your rankings very inconsistent. Sometimes you'll rate a figure based on how good/bad the figure is, irrespective of the source material. Other times you rate the figure based soley on the source material. 2:21 "Wonder Woman 84. A would-buy. "Obviously the movie was terrible. The figure was pretty good," yet Thena was given a MEH rating based purely on the movie and not the figure Also I have to strongly disagree with Shang Chi and Wenwu. Shang Chi deserves to be at least in "Would Buy" category BTW. have Yelena and her sculpt is actually pretty accurate. More so than the Ahsoka figure is, of Rosario Dawson
Just rate the movies they come from...you literally vetoed good figures you said were good figures because you didn't like the movie or show they came from? Is this a figure ranking or a show/movie ranking? Hehe 😂
You should have made the ranking full screen, and have your face on a top corner, so much was cut off and it was hard to see. Loved the video tho.
Fair enough 😎
@@JedhaPatrol definitely wanna see you rank the announced figures, please do it!
Agreed
Yea I couldn’t see anything unfortunately
@@JedhaPatrolmaybe post the full pic on social somewhere and link here?
Great video! Amazing to visually see the amount of releases Hot Toys chucked at us last year!! 😮
Totally agree with you about the bad batch being future grails.I was on the fence about getting them,but have now bought Crosshair,Hunter and Echo and have Wrecker and Tech on order.
Advanced suit 2.0 is future grail 100% other than that great list
The only Hot Toys I purchased in 2023 was AOTC C-3P0. I am a mean, lean collector. The only HT's figure I have my eye on in 2024 is AOTC Anakin.
Would love a video on 2023 announcements!
Oh No! Doc in the Meh. I did say as I was watching your video if you put Sam Wilson Cap in the Grail I was grabbing this evening.
Good stuff let’s get another one like this soon
I actually disagreed with most of this list, but that’s a good thing. Love coming over here to see a different approach.
Interesting, have you made another list like this for figures from previous years?
P.S.: Happy New Year!
Interesting. Proves even collecting can be very subjective.
It’s the most subjective I’d say
What about the season 2 Mando? Or was that 2022

Agree with most. Robocop should have been at least in the 'Hot' category though. That thing was beautiful. A great update. Possibly future grail?
76 figures this year?! Holy smokes Batman! 😂
I always look forward to this video every year

oh do the announcement version
Ok I'm sure I'll disagree with a few here, whatever.
But the ranking system in the thumbnail is amazing lmao
Thank you for the fun.

We're putting Kate below Thena. That's just disrespectful.
🤣🤣 I really dislike that damn bandage they put on her face
@@JedhaPatrol ok that is fair. I will say though, I don't even notice it. And she poses SO WELL.
Hi Jedha you are so cool with hot toy but i need to tell you something i got scam by toy wonderland
Let’s see the announcement version.

You're way off on Kate Bishop, should be higher. That stealth iron man and the comic origins are all sideshow tier. Koska Reeves is HOT! Other than those exceptions I was in 100% agreement.
I need that Pattinson Batman.

1/4 Neon Tech Ironman?

Total disagree with Ock. When you put him on the shelf he pops. Sculpt be damned.
Happy New Year and keep doing what you doing!
Was Batman the 1/4 because the dx19 came out last year
Yeah I believe so
1/4 scale Fett definitely deserves to be higher - it’s an incredible figure with one of the best head sculpts.
Wow! Hot Toys is breaking my balls!

No images! Just blah blah blah 😒😭😂😛
Is Sideshow that bad?
Their 1/6 figures could use improvement
Hot toys 1/6 figures can also use improvements too and some big time
Just rate the movies they come from...you literally vetoed good figures you said were good figures because you didn't like the movie or show they came from? Is this a figure ranking or a show/movie ranking? Hehe 😂
They go hand and hand
@@JedhaPatrol fair enough 👌
The popularity of the show/movie will obviously affect the popularity of the figure.
