are they good?
are they even toys?
are they slop?
what's the general consensus of hot toys because every time i come across a hot toys collector, they just don't seem all that intelligent.

I own the iron man MK7 2.0 and a couple other figures and I have a preorder that's not releasing anytime soon. It was all a huge mistake and I'm retarded.

They’re good looking, lightly posable statues. It’s maybe worth it for a favorite character or two to put in a display in your living room, but that’s where I’d draw the line.

They are responsible for the greatest comic Iron man figure ever made so I'm at least grateful for that.

Armored characters are kinda cool I guess. Everything else looks like big creepy dolls. And the soft goods make them look fat. I think they are hyped just because people think expensive = good

Probably not going to see much love for them here since most of us are 1/12, 1/10, or 1/18 collectors. They used to be decent for the price if you were okay with more limited posing, but their prices have gone up a ton over the years to the point that they're averaging $300+ nowadays.

You're basically paying for a (usually) amazing headsculpt on a reused body with articulation-limiting clothes that will likely disintegrate after a while.

I got into them since 2020(star wars) and I'm starting to bow out.

They are good, yes.

They are not really toys, because of their scale they are just harder to handle, less pleasing to hold, they turn into pseudo-statues because quickly you learn to put it in a pose and leave it alone on the shelf.

Some are slop, yes. new media star wars, marvel. They look ugly when you have a horde of them on display, just are a mess of plastic and cloth.

At this stage, if you really want to dive in, I recommend only sticking to a few and buying your absolute favorite character(s). 1/12 has really caught up in quality and if there's a 1/12 offering that you really like, just buy that.

I've been collecting them for years but have had to downsize recently.
>are they good?
Very, but the new artesian line has issues with the realistic hair.
>are they even toys?
Kind of, a lot of the ones with full-body costumes have limited flexibility and are hard to pose and leaving them in a pose could stretch out the material used.
>are they slop?
They're the furthest away from slop in terms of quality but they're big name brands like Marvel so if that's slop then yes.
>what's the general consensus of hot toys because every time i come across a hot toys collector, they just don't seem all that intelligent
They cost hundreds of dollars so I doubt people who buy them in large quantities like myself are very smart. I've been cutting down as back then I was buying very impulsively and some things I really don't need a 1/6 scale figure of. The good thing is they retain their value and sell sometimes higher than what I paid for depending on the character.

I've always wondered who buys these multi thousand dollar statues of movie characters. Then I saw this and I think I know now.

I got into Hot Toys around 2015 or so when an anon here bought a HT Iron Man accidentally when he was getting his friend a gift and got into them for a bit. He helped disspell a lot of preconceived ideas about them like a lack of articulation, and while they aren't Revoltech level he was ale to show off Iron Man posing well. He was also finding some decent prices under $200 on some figures as well.
There was actually some great deals on Mandarake at the time and you could get a bunch of figures for $150 shipped. Like Silver Centurion Iron Man.
That said, both the price and the quality has increased to the point where it's frustrating and too expensive for me to be into them. There's also so many versions of characters you end up double dipping or constantly upgrading It just stopped being fun, and my OCD would flare up when an even more expensive company like InArt would offer a better, pricier version and then the cheaper, lesser version feels pointless. stylized toys will always have their own niche, but with a replica style toy the point will partly be the be the most realistic look. So anything that's not top of the line is at risk of dating quickly.
I do think the comic based figures they've been doing are cool, but also way too pricy for what I'd be willing to spend.

Yeah, they’re great for Iron Man and they’ve made some absolute beauties. I don’t really love anything else they’ve made that has excess soft goods, but they do good Iron Men.

Some of them are really fucking good but you should consider them as slightly poseable statues than anything. Also, at least for most of the Alien and Predator lines, they don't seem to appreciate in value much. They just kinda stay slightly below or slightly above of the original cost most of the time, not sure why.
