Great perspective video. I started buying Hot Toys a lot because of a personal catastrophic event and was hit hard by another one. I ended up diving into the hobby and buying all I could as a form of escapism. Now I’m realizing I bought too much and am switching to a tier system and reevaluating my future orders and what I need so I don’t run out of space.

For what it’s worth, my input: to my, themes constrain what I buy. That’s good, because without that, I’d probably buy everything. I like Star Wars-specifically Mandalorians-and Daredevil, so I try hard to limit myself to characters that revolve around those tent poles.

nice thoughts !! the other issue is many 3rd party stuff (soosoo, premium toys, etc) announce great stuff and they release on the same year too!! if just hot toys, easier to do budgetting. Those 3rd party announcing things now and can release like q3 or q4. This messes up the budgeting really. And also sometimes the opportunity of sale from BST for figures we have been chasing up causing a stir too. This has been my problem this year.

Yeah, it really can. Everyone is vying for your dollar and the anomalies can shake up your budget. This is why I like to leave room for unexpected figures. If I don't, it usually ends up hurting me latter. Worst case, I saved some funds.

Awesome vid! I bought way, way too many HT's last year + WW2 1/6, some 3rd party, and EXO-6 Star Trek 😭😭 I will definitely be cutting back this year. If I miss out on something? Oh well.

For me the poll was very tough, because so far I have 1 hot toys on order this year. Where as I bought around 10 third party figures so far this year. So if we only count hot toys then basically nothing. But other brands it would be 10-20 figures a year.

1/6th is not all about Hot Toys.. Yesterday i put a deposit down on the 1/6th scale Blitzway Kurt Cobain Two days before yesterday i picked up an un_official figure of Jessica Jones (from Defenders) Three days ago i placed an order for the Sly Stallone Shop - Cobra figure (before it sells out) Last week i ordered the Mars Toys - Prank Villian I have about 6 Hot Toys figures on pre_order Finally my Batch 3 Hot Toys - Cable (from DP3) arrived from Toys Wonderland ^_^ The 1/6th figure game is difficult to keep under control.

Dude, nice choice! I would say if you have a case/area for each universe/theme, you can build your tiers around that. For marvel you have your tier 1, 2, etc. Same goes for non-SW or marvel, or one-offs.

I might just might only once a yr...but honestly I don't think I've bought any hottoys because I usually buy hottoys parts...body 1st then the head or vice versa ...it usually cheaper instead shelling out 4 to 900 hundred a figure. Its just too dam much. I rather buy piece by piece or third party because no figure should be 5 or 900 dollars. Third party is what hottoys prices were back in the day.

The Hot Toys stats don't surprise me, most collectors are now looking for headsculpts that don't really look anything like the characters, with Hot Toys only about 25% of their sculpts don't look like the characters which is why most of have been turning to Star Ace. I think about 99% of us buy 15+ Star Ace figures per year, even if they don't announce or release that many we just buy multiples of the same figure. Great analysis in any case even if you missed the absolute most important point that's okay.

Yeah, I've purchased 5 HT this year. I honestly don't think I'll have anything coming in for the next few months, HT wise. So by the end of the year, maybe I'll be at like 7-9 tops. EDIT: Oh, and I should have noted this. 1 of those HT (chrome Mando deluxe) was paid for entirely with rewards points and gift cards. So, I've really purchased 4 this year that actually impacted my budget. I've also sold $2300 worth of collectibles, so the 5 HT really starts to feel slim in it's impact on my budget with all that considered.

1-7 Hot Toys a year? That's not a collector, that's an amateur. 🤣 Interesting that you mention only Hot Toys, since there are other sixth scale manufacturers.
@WillFoxification

Interesting. I don't agree at all. I don't think the legitimacy of a collector is determined by the volume of figures they buy. We all have our own budgets, interests, space, and other relevant factors that influence our collecting habits. There are absolutely other strong 1/6 manufacturers out there, but Hot Toys is at the center of every 1/6 channel's focus because they are the king and have set the standard to which everyone else in the industry operates around. It's just a fact of life that MOST collectors buy mostly HT if they're dedicating their focus to 1/6 scale.

@@WillFoxification I was being facetious, hence the emoji. I would agree that HT is king when it comes to POP collectors. But I wouldn't say they set the standard. In fact, I would say they cut corners. DAM Toys, Soldier Story, 3R, and even DiD (and I wouldn't consider the later top tier) all make better figures than Hot Toys.
