Hot Toys Dilemma

Morning all,

Have a bit of a puzzler & was wondering if you could give me some advice...

My Nan recently passed away & has left me a couple of hundred pounds which I'm using to buy collectables so that I always have something nearby & on display to remind me of her when I look at them.
So far I've already added Tranfsormers Masterpiece Grimlock & Thundercracker to my TF collection from the money but would also like to add a Hot Toys figure to the collections however I'm torn between 3 at the mo...

Battle Damaged Iron Man
Batman DX
Joker DX

So I'm just wondering if anyone has them yet which would they recommend or should I just do a luck dip from a hat to decide?? lol
I love both films & all the cahracters so I'm really finding it difficult to decide as the HT figures are soooo bloody good I cant even decide if one looks better than the rest

Also is One Sixth Bruce the best stockist or is buying difect from a Hong Kong dealer a good idea??

Thanks in advance guys

Neil

Re: Hot Toys Dilemma

Joker is the only one that is out so you dont have much choice at the minute if you're only interested in the 3 you mention. Iron Man and Batman wont be out till next year sometime.
I buy from overseas via ebay, up to you where you buy from.

Re: Hot Toys Dilemma

Thanks for that KJ.

I may go with Joker now & add Batman or Ironman on the One Sixth Bruce Layaway scheme & save for the balance I'd need over the next few months.

Do you have a preffered Ebay seller you buy from that you dont mind sharing?

Thanks again

Neil

Re: Hot Toys Dilemma

i use a few sellers, as long as they look legit and have decent feedback. abc express, goubei, nakata. i've maybe spelt those wrong but i cant remember exactly off the top of my head. the joker isn't the cheapest at the moment or the easiest to get. it'll come down in price i think when more come in stock.

Dont worry about me man I'm fine it was a few weeks back now & was to be expected so she's much much better where she is.
We buried her last Monday the 19th.

I'm really sorry to hear about your loss...hope your ok & the rest of family Nitram are bearing up ok.
