I've got 4 Hot Toys on order now: The Chris Reeves Superman, Michael Keaton's Batman, The Batman Begins/Bruce Wayne Toyfair Exclusive, and the Classic Predator from "Predators". These will be the very first Hot Toys figures I've ever owned, but the detail these figures have are worth every penny, IMO.

I haven't ordered the Nicholson Joker (yet), because I have too much on order already, but every time I look at that photo gallery, I get that itchy "trigger" finger! I may have to cancel some stuff to make room for the things I REALLY want to add to my collection...
You need the Terminator 1 Arnold...amazing likeness.

Blade is also really good but hard to find now.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I've been collecting Hot Toys for years now and have close to 100 of them. They've always been really good but I get to see the progress they've made over the last few years when I compare the older ones to the newer ones. It's just amazing what they've done in the last year.

You are so right, sister! The more recent HT figures are pretty much on par and sometimes even surpass even the best of statues produced.

Definitely.. and that is what impresses me.. the way they strive for perfection and just keep improving with each release..

Even with rereleases, I honestly don't think they're out just to milk money, I think they have the need to master their engineering even further and be the best.. and compete (with.. themselves )
Sure it is annoying, but at the same time I think it's awesome that they take an already amazing sculpt to an even further element of realism/craftsmanship

Impressive collection btw
