I'm a big fan of the John Wick franchise. I missed out on the Wick 2 figure (which John Wick 2 is my favourite film). So, I definitely ain't missing out this time. I pre-ordered John Wick for the special assault weapon on Sideshow and Caine from my local distributor. Also, the reason why the John Wick 2 figure came with so many accessories is became that's how it was in the film compared to the 4th installment.
That AR is a Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight. It is a custom gun. TTI also makes the custom pistol that is in these toy sets. It is the one with the gold on the ejection port. It is a custom Glock 34 9mm. You can probably see the TTI logo on the toy. Taran is a world champion marksmen. He trains Reeves and obviously makes custom guns. The other handgun in tbe toy set is a Glock 26. I think it goes without saying that the dueling pistol is not a Glock.
I'm definitely picking up John Wick. It will be my first Wick figure. I wasn't collecting Hot Toys when the second version was released. I would really like a Winston and/or Bowery King, too. But I'm excited to at least get John Wick.
Not one I'll be picking up tbh (need to stay in my Star Wars lane 😅) but wow the sculpts look really solid on both chapter 2 and chapter 4 versions. Can see why collectors would keep both tbh. I always think it's a good idea to keep the original version of a figure too if you can. Great video, cheers Ryan!
I believe that rifle that you are calling an AR-15 is actually the Taran Tactical Innovations Dracarys Gen-12 shotgun made by Genesis Arms. It shoots the Dragons Breath shotgun rounds in the movie
I keep hearing that we are in a recession, that the economy is hurting etc….thhhheennn companies like this want to release a figure for a cool $270 before taxes and shipping 😅
Good tip on buying local to save as much as possible. What are your thoughts on buying the exclusive on SS to resell the extra accessory (the rifle in this case)? Some collectors pay upward to $50-100 for certain exclusives. Couple that with SS's reward system, and a cashback site (sometimes up to 8-10%) and you can come away with some significant savings. But I do think it's important to support your local shops.
I understand where you’re coming from regarding selling the exclusive accessories. The issue I see with that is more often than non-more people are going to do it not like you’re the only one going to sell those accessories off. And for me it’s just not worth the hassle.
Another great video! I already ordered both versions. I do regret having missed out on that John Wick 2 version and he's still on the pricier side. I think while this one has the better sculpt that first one just has all those great accessories!!
