Bought quite a bit off Facebook and there’s one seller I’d always go back to as he provides photos and video of the figure, and even how it’s getting packaged up and then photos of it labelled up ready to ship. So you literally know exactly what’s going to arrive at your door. Also great point about buying new figures that are unopened! Something that never occurred to me was, a completely unopened figure can still have issues if it’s an older figure. It’s common sense but something easy to forget when you see “BNIB” - it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s in mint condition! Excellent and informative video mate 👌🏻👊🏻

Personally whenever I buy a second hand figure I tend to buy from either reputable people from private sixth scale groups or Facebook marketplace, but in either instance, and I cannot stress this enough I always ALWAYS ask for a live video call whereby I can see the item in question in the hands of the seller and I can see everything I'm concerned about in full working good condition. In my humble opinion it is the only clear way of not getting scammed in as at least you know that the item is real and as described 👍 good luck and all the very best wishes ❤️

I've only bought 2 Hot Toy figures so far, both brand new from Sideshow Collectibles and both had major issues right out of the box and had to be sent back for replacements. The Thor Infinity War figure had a leg that was snapped off at the knee and was just dangling inside the paint leg loose. I also bought the Life Size Venom bust from Sideshow Collectibles and it had major paint issues and had to be sent back too. Definitely makes me not even want to consider buying something 2nd hand from a re-seller on ebay or another site.

Fun fact: whenever used hot toys are cheaper they’re either dud releases or the company is about to release a new more superior version of the character for a similar price the seller is asking lol. You’re welcome

Depends how good of a deal it is and what the condition is. Make sure the seller is reputable and communicate well and you’ll be good. I bought Drax, Yondu, Daredevil, etc. for lowered prices and they are all fine.

Another great video with lots of really good insights. I've had good experiences on facebook bst sites and ebay. The only thing i realized too late, be mindful of where the figure is coming from. I got a damtoys mint in box figure from singapore. Got it in hand and it was sealed and perfect, but the pleather jacket just crumbled a part after 20 minutes. So be mindful of that with older releases.

😳 I’m sorry to hear that! That’s why for me I made a sure to emphasize that even buying older figures brand new sealed they’re still always the chance of there being issues with them. I just recently bought the DX06 Jack sparrow from Jeremy Casa brand new sealed and he was able to open it up and inspect it for me with photos and it’s thankfully in mint condition.

"Saving money", but paying more than retail, but just not spending what the highest price sold. Makes zero sense. Hot Toys collectors have a twisted thought process. It's a high risk you'll end up with a piece that has already started deteriorating, or will as soon as you touch it. I would NEVER buy a used HT. I don't care how bad I want it. I'll take my chances with a reissue or buy 3rd party.

I bought 90% of my Hot Toys figures used and never had a bad experience. I mean they are collectibles so the consumers who buy them treat them as such and then sell them to a new collector.

If you plan on getting into buying new or used Hot Toys keep this in mind..... Plan to make sure you have enough space. Not for the dolls, but you need to have lots of space for the BOXES. BOXES TAKE UP LOTS OF SPACE IN YOUR HOME OR APARTMENT. LOL... You will see. Lol.
