No idea why I still have it (the limited naute of it got to me), kinda sticks out amongst the others but I really dislike going through the selling process

I also have that Secret Project version and I am sometimes tempted to sell it.

I can't imagine that selling out any time soon honestly, the initial reaction to the price being more than HT Star Wars figures really irked a lot of people, considering SS is a US company so the extra import costs shouldn't be there like it is with HT. The price has to be SS just taking advantage of Star Wars fans, considering almost nothing comes with him. Nothing else makes sense really.

I can only do 1/6th Scale exclusively. The other options are all just too big. 1/6th Scale is just big enough to be noticeable on display without being excessively on display. Also, I love the ability to pose them! Let's you change up your display evry once in a while.

Hopefully, it doesn't sell out. I have been waiting for Darth Maul for a while. But I am sure there will be another version that will come out eventually.

Yeah, that is the idea for the action figure which is to customize their poses. Unfortunately, I fail at these things...lol

Disney's licensing fee is likely pretty extreme right now on anything Star Wars. I can imagine that alone being at least 30% of the price.

Bruisermoore · 11-03-2015, 04:25 PM

The biggest issue will be what it looks like in hand. SS tends to make their prototypes looks really good and then drop the ball on the production pieces. Just look at the in hand pics of the X-Wing Luke compared to the prototype, it's night and day and a lot of people cancelled. Maybe the price of Maul is more expensive because they outsourced the headsculpt and the painting of it? I think Deadpool will sell out any day now honestly, the exclusive did a while ago, and now that people are receiving it and giving it glowing reviews, all those on the fence will be buying now.

You should be a salesman...

I am sold on Deadpool. Besides I am a fan anything Marvel or DC or Star Wars...

Haha, yeah.

I think it's the right choice, I really do think Maul will be around for a while and he isn't coming out for a year from now iirc. You can have Deadpool in your hands next week.

Anyone thinking about getting Obi Wan.....do it......you won't regret it, received mine yesterday and he's awesome.

Ordered.

terp_fan99 · 11-06-2015, 08:43 PM

So many Star Wars figures. No way I can keep up. I haven't ordered a single figure from the new movie yet. I'm going to wait until I see it then decide.

This is my first one from TFA, but I plan on getting at least 1 First Order Stormtrooper and TIE Pilot. Not sure about any characters.

stvn1974 · 11-06-2015, 11:03 PM

Ordered the Captain Phasma to go with my Kylo Ren. This film better not suck.

Jutty · 11-06-2015, 11:25 PM

Personally,im trying to stay away from the new film figs,, there's more than enough coming from the OT to keep me busy.

I'm doing the same, the OT figures are enough as it is. I have Obi Wan and the Stormtrooper set, Han & Chewie should be here Thursday, and Luke, Leia, and Vader are ordered and paid for, just waiting for them to be released.

I'm debating whether or not to pick up R2 from SS, but I'm sure I will once they release 3PO.

With all of that said, it's going to be really hard to resist Kylo, Finn, Rey, First Order Troopers and others if the film is as amazing as I think it will be.

Ordered General Zod to complete my Man of Steel HT collection, should be getting him this week.

Bruisermoore · 11-09-2015, 07:12 PM

Bought my first Detolf yesterday, as it's the best option for the limited space I have to work with right now. I ordered some weatherstripping from Amazon to use as a dust proofer and some black con-tact paper that I'm thinking about sticking to the underside of the glass shelves. I don't like seeing the back sides of the led light strips through the shelves. I'll just have to do it and see how it looks.

I'll update with pics in a couple of days once that stuff arrives.

Got my Detolf about 2 weeks ago, the HTs (and other figurines I have) look really good in it, well worth it.

The First Order troopers legs look kind of fat to me...

I like the look of the Kylo Ren figure, but for now I can't order any of these, they all have release dates that are too close together for me to afford!

What's a Detolf?
