May I ask if you purchase figures only based on the preorders or do you plan to stock some items...?

Items will overtime come into stock (there are select items in stock now for example) but we do not carry lots and lots of excess inventory - order numbers are very much based on pre-orders collected with a few additional, if any, in some cases.
We highly recommend placing a Pre-Order for an item you are interested in to guarantee supply or after the release of an item the price could increase to reflect a change in market price(s) if applicable.

Have a great upcoming weekend!

Thank you very much @GubernatorFan - we definitely have been making an effort to populate our blog with articles that collectors find informative and insightful.
If you ever have any topic ideas do not hesitate to reach out to us.. our writers are always looking to write about something that their audience of collectors are interested in and captivated by so that feedback is paramount.

The weekend is almost upon us: have an excellent day!

I’ve read several of them as well. A couple of the latest I found interesting were the “Hot Toys Figures We Need to See Made” and “Sixth Scale Figures Upgrades...”

I rarely upgrade my figures, but I have bought new iterations of characters I’ve liked (but that doesn’t mean I get rid of the original one). The number of times I read posts by collectors who buy every new iteration and sell the earlier is alarming to me, and seems like someone with either a compulsion or just another bandwagon jumper.

I agree on many of the figures that need to get made, like Lando, Indy (done right for a change), Returns Catwoman and Mantis. Flash from the TV show — no thanks.

I agree, although the "Hot Toys Figures We Need to See Made" article glosses over some very good quality third-party products -- Flash from the TV show being a case in point. And Michelle Pfeiffer as cat woman, I suppose. Apart from some Stormtroopers and the like, the only new iteration of a character made by HT that I have allowed myself to purchase is the second Star-Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy. That said, I have "reconstituted" some new iterations -- for example some of the later Thors or Lukes -- picking up the most relevant pieces and bashing them into what the character is supposed to look like. But collecting every single new iteration as a complete set seems an excessive expense to me, even if they were lines I were interested in. Of course that is not what HT or a reseller wants to hear... Smile

I agree about third party figures, as well. The Cable/Brolin figure that came out recently looks fantastic (as good as anything HT can do), so I see no need to see something like that done for an extra $100-150 when I already have him. And, yeah, TV Flash has already been done fairly decently. I've seen some of the bootleg Catwoman figures, and they aren't bad. I think if anything, they need a better female body to make them look more like Pfeiffer (sure she was skinny, but the overall effect of some of the bootlegs is she looks like a stick figure -- that might be due to the material used for the outfit, or it could be a combination -- but either way, not even reasonable hips).

Buying extra parts for figures is something I can get behind, as well. I bought Sideshow's Maul figure as an example, but it didn't come with a robe (so I got one loose on the Bay), and it definitely adds to the character (especially being able to have the hood over his head for that mysterious look). But I don't normally see any point in getting an entirely new figure just because it comes with an extra bauble or two. I've never been a completist in the regard of buying an entire line. I couldn't even imagine trying to get every single new figure from an Marvel movie -- that just seems insane to me (like buying every single IM armour -- one is sufficient).
