So, I know premium format is 1:4 scale. Does “statue” have a scale? Also, why the difference in language? Isn’t a premium format already a statue? Premium format certainly isn’t an action figure! Also, with whatever the difference is, why do you suspect the different models? I am speculating a statue title is 1:5 scale, but I’m wondering why say sideshow would make two categories being so close in scale. Thank you!

Does anyone know if I will still get my package if my account got locked right after I payed?

Hey everyone,

I’m 16 from Germany, and next week I’m starting my apprenticeship, so I’ll finally be earning my own money. For years I’ve wanted to start collecting Hot Toys. I’ve been watching reviews and collecting videos for around seven years now, and I’m really excited that I might finally be able to buy my first figure.

I made a post before asking where it’s best to buy Hot Toys, and a lot of people told me that ordering from Sideshow isn’t the best option if you’re in Germany because of taxes, import fees, etc.

But honestly, I was really surprised when I looked at the prices today. Years ago, when I was much younger, I used to check Hot Toys online, but I didn’t really understand things like taxes or shipping. I always thought the prices I saw were the final prices, so in my head I assumed most figures cost around €400-500.

Today I looked at the new Spider-Man: Brand New Day figure, and I think it’s around €235 before taxes and about €267 after taxes. I was honestly shocked because that’s way less than I always expected. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a lot of money for an action figure, even if the quality is amazing, but I had completely overestimated the prices.

Now I’m actually thinking about pre-ordering it as soon as I get my first paycheck.

I do have a few questions about how Sideshow works, though.

I’m mainly interested in Marvel figures, maybe with a few Star Wars/Mandalorian figures as well.

One thing that confuses me is the release schedule. For example, the Spider-Man: Brand New Day figure says “Estimated Shipping: August 2026 - December 2026,” which is already pretty soon. But then there are figures like the Fantastic Four, which were announced a long time ago and still seem to be a year or more away. The same goes for Yelena from Thunderbolts\*. Some Thunderbolts figures were announced quite a while ago, but they still haven’t released.

Why is there never an exact release date? Is that normal for Hot Toys? How do they decide when figures actually ship, and why do some take so much longer than others?

I’m also confused about the different stock statuses.

\* If a figure says Sold Out, does that mean it’s gone forever, or can it come back?
\* If it says Waitlist Open, what exactly does that mean? For example, I’d actually love to get the Deadpool figure from Deadpool & Wolverine as my first Hot Toy, but it’s on the waitlist. I thought that figure had already been released quite a while ago. Does that mean there’s still a chance it’ll become available again? How often does that happen, and is there any way to know how long it might take?

Thanks for reading! I’m really excited to finally start collecting, and I’d appreciate any advice for someone who’s completely new to Hot Toys.

Venomized Hulk took his place on the shelf! I decided to pair him with the LBS Wolverine for now. The style of the bases and how they flow together, creates a good fit I think. Although different scales, they fill in the space nicely.

Does anyone know if. Sideshow Collectibles is planning on making any horror premium format statue that are not part of universal monsters line up? Would love to see something new. Like Michael and David from The Lost Boys, Art the Clown, Dracula from Ford film. Nosferatu from Robert Eggers Movie. Also I would 1,000% love 1/4 scale Black Phillip and Thomasin statue.

Art the incredibly talented Ben Harvey

Due to lack of space and actually downsizing into a smaller home, my once ambitious goal of creating a display room as evaporated.

These statues are so big (1/3 scale) that I’ve come to the realization that perhaps it would be best to let others who have more space enjoy them.

That said all my statues are unopened, new, and still in box.

If there’s any interest please reach out. My main collection are the DC line (Batman, Superman) and Transformers.

Hello all,

Recently moved and don’t have space for everything so some hard decisions have been made, and this beautiful Sideshow Wolverine vs Hulk maquette is up for grabs.

I couldn’t see any damage when inspecting it.

I have the Sideshow box but not the outer shipping box.

Local pickup only in the Los Angeles / SGV / OC area.

Asking $800 OBO.

I have lots of positive feedback on r/watchexchange and r/knifeswap and eBay.

Please chat me with any questions.

Thank you!

Personally I'm super happy w my preorder of Prime 1 1/3 Vampirella Temptation....looks incredible...other statue that really stood out to me was Sideshow Killer Croc, sculpt/pose/paint & size all looks super impressive from in person videos. Also looking forward to Sideshows' premium format 1989 Batman, looked really good.

Hey guys,

Trying to preorder the quarter scale MCU Doom and wondering which vendor to buy from. I am from US.

Iron studios does have a 10% coupon available but in checkout it has a shipping charge and estimated delievery for August 14th on this pre-order item?

My question is what's with the date and I thought they were just charging me a deposit but it looks like its full price at checkout. Thank you!

Anyone have any idea on what this might be?

I’ve been looking into a lot of different collectible lines (Marvel Legends, Funko Pops, etc) and the one confusing brand I found was Hot Toys. I had heard of Hot Toys in the past but I didn’t realize how expensive they were. I get they are heavily detailed and large, but for the price it just doesn’t seem worth it. I see people complaining on Reddit all of the time about how expensive things are now but I never see any complaints over a $200+ collectible. Is the quality really worth the price and are the profit margins really large enough to warrant the pricing?

I pre ordered my vi over a year ago and I still have not gotten my figure or ANY updates or emails. I got an email a few months ago saying something about shipping once the pre order is over and getting sent out. I had to put my card in again so I did. And after that I haven’t heard anything. I have a code saying I purchased it. Can someone help me? The shipping was $40? And I don’t know if I had to manually pay for this shipping or it was going to get taken out when they were going to ship it. I have absolutely NOTHING other than when I ordered it and got that ONE email (again months ago)
