I'm a 26 year old male, and I grabbed the rooted Ron. I gotta be honest, this Ron has me more hyped than any of the Star Wars stuff that has been put up for PO. I feel Harry's numbers were low because INART weren't clear that they'd do Ron and Hermione. The amount of ISO posts for Harry I think prove that.
Yeah, I'm planning on getting this version of the trio because they're most iconic versions that most people will think of when they think "Harry Potter", the robes, scarf, Sorting Hat, etc. Rather than the "hoodie and khakis" plain clothes they had by the time DH rolls around. But I would totally get those versions too, and GoF or OotP, especially if it meant we get Luna, too.
Any chance Keco can record you seeing his collection the next time you visit him? Your fans would love to see you both in the same room talking about his collection and/or 1/6 collecting in general
Man this has got to be some of the funniest 1/6 conversations I've ever heard. You guys should try to get Natalie as a permenat addition to the panel. The chemistry you 3 have is great
The InArt Ron Weasley looks amazing! Fact is, i have never watched Harry Potter. Not a figure for my collection. Right now it must feel amazing to be a Harry Potter fan who collects 1/6 figure and has deep pockets ;D
I’ve just come back from Universal Studios and it was the busiest place in the park. Plus, they’re building another HP area at Universal Epic… so the money is there. Then there’s the fact that Inart’s HP has sold out everywhere. If they make Hagred then watch these prices go off the charts!
Harry Potter is massive in the UK, I am not a fan, but it will sell! A lot of women love it! I had an ex girlfriend years ago, who qued for hours to get the books first!
When it comes to bad releases of Hot Toys, maybe we really should be voting with our wallets. But I'm guilty of getting bad figures cause I want a representation in my collection as well. Both Keco and Natalie are 100% right when it comes to Harry Potter. I just can't see myself getting them no matter how incredible they look. Maybe if I supplemented the collection with the collectible wands that would look cool but definitely can't do just the 3 figures.
Within the first 9 minutes of this show, viewers can learn about chest hair, blonding techniques, Honduran rabbits, and seasonal climates of the US. Great content
The headsculpt on the Winter Soldier Nick Fury hot toys figure is better in my opinion than the Mace Windu, but still a cool figure looks badass with the clone wars Obi and Anakin.
55:46 Keco nailed it right here and I was one of those people who got this for my wife. I like Harry Potter myself but he’s right, I’m not going to buy a high end collectible figure of these characters and put it on my display because it’s not targeted towards me, it’s targeted towards the female crowd.
@@WillFoxification That is true, it’s going into my display but not displayed with my Marvel or Star Wars figures, it’s going to have its own space for the piece.
27:59 Will you and Keco need to do a convention together asap. Would love to see a video on that. New York Comic Con or the San Diego one comes to mind.
Haaa "420p"! Maybe when thinking of 480p standard definition (which sorry mate you're wrong about with the prequels being vanguards of DH filmmaking and Lucas dragging filmmaking into the 21st century kicking and screaming) Natalie was feeling the 4-20 need to smoke one up?! Hell TPM 3 3/4 inch figs were the first to cyberscan actors (along with WWF) back in the day! To be fair, oldschool 35mm film was higher def than that so perspective I guess. And maybe a bit of The Devil's Lettuce...
@@DarthMalaks_Missing_Lower_Jaw I wouldn’t buy Chani if I had Paul . Honestly the only other characters I’d consider would be adult Letho II and Ghanima , if the trilogy ever goes as far to cover “ The Children of Dune “.
@@WillFoxification I suspect Ron won’t sell well at all ,and they probably will drop HP entirely . I could be wrong ,but I don’t think HP fans are collectors . Or ,maybe they’ll start making fake exclusives like Hot Toys ,and people will start buying HP figures out of fomo 😅.
The conversation when it comes to 6 scale teenagers is always kind of split because you have 1/2 who wouldn't mind collecting certain characters that are children because it's some of their favorite characters that they like to see and then you have the other side that feels a little bit uncomfortable because if someone wants to have a large collection of children they will find them to be perverted and they have some weird collectors that you don't know what type of Hose is they would actually do with those figures and I feel that that's probably some of the reason why some figures that are teenagers They hold back or they don't do it at all for an example Cassie From Ant-Man Perfect girl was teased and yet it's not There for production We still don't have a Miss Marvel I think the reason we were fortunate to get that Padawan Ahsoka is because she's an alien in the show it's unfortunate but I I understand the fallback because they are just some collectors for a little bit on the creepy side
1:02:56 Will you had 808 views on that preview video on the InArt Ron Weasley figure, it’s almost at 1K views so I wouldn’t say that people aren’t watching it, the niche audience is paying attention for sure.
@@WillFoxification Again you’re appealing to the niche audience. But don’t sweat it bro, I watch most of your videos and I like every one of them 👊🏻🔥🔥 keep it up bro!!
48:38 Will I know you said there wasn’t much engagement when Ron from the Harry Potter movie went up for PO but I gotta tell ya, I watched that video and preordered the figure right afterwards so to me the engagement is there but it’s a more targeted engagement if you know what I mean. But yeah man I’m happy about this announcement from InArt on Ron Weasley from Harry Potter but I’m not completing the line since it’s just one character my wife likes I think it’s unique enough that it’ll stand out in my display for sure.
1:18:11 Natalie G nailed it on this topic and she’s right about the InArt thing though, I still remember unboxing my InArt Joker for the first time and I was blown away by the head sculpt when I first saw it.. and I only PO the standard version, it’s my favourite unboxing of a figure to date and I’ve been collecting Hot Toys for over 6 years now. And now we have Hot Toys who’s the best in the business of 1/6th for all these years and they’re literally giving us (mid head sculpts and kit bashing their own figures and then calling it an exclusive to sell it at a higher premium price point) which to me is kind of a sus move on Hot Toys part when InArt is giving us that extra 5% better overall when the final product is released.
@@WillFoxification Heath Ledger is my favourite Joker of all time so I knew I had to get the InArt version to be displayed next to my DX19 Batman from the Dark Knight trilogy 🔥🔥
Interesting topic on “ should we accept subpar likeness in headsculpts by HT” but why isn’t bringing anyone the topic of “ should accept the huge QC issues of InArt figures “? Like the posts pile up , mainly in Kit’s group , because InArt don’t permit those in their actual group . But for the price point , for the delays and slow batches , it seems they have serious QC issues on their last batch of Gandalf which was the biggest batch . And accessories missing or being wrong galore , but I see videos of reverse polarity magnets so the head bring ejected from the neck . And nobody talking about this ? Is InArt truly as premium as they pose to be when they have QC issues I’ve not yet seen in third party even ?
Hmm interesting! I'm pretty active in those groups and I haven't seen those types of posts ultra frequent. I see one or two every so often, but I guess my experience has been different. Keco hasn't seen a lot either, but maybe it's just us. Otherwise, we'd def discuss it
@@WillFoxification but you are getting early batches ? The most complaints started with the final batch ,with Gandalf . And while the posts themselves might be few ,if you read the comments to those posts ,more and more people pile up with their issues ,from those they deem “ small” , such as bad magnets in the base or missing accessories,not great rooting , to those that make it impossible to put the head on due to reversed polarity magnets . I think being in the last batch only makes it worse ,because not only did those people pay same as those who get the influencers batches , had to wait for more than 8 months to get them , and then they are inferior as a product .
The only thing “ exclusivity “ especially on artisan does is feed the scalpers and make a few bois feel “ special “. It’s too bad things like time period PO don’t exist to have the estimate what would sell .., oh wait .
The other thing with Harry Potter as an IP is that so many people hate JK Rowling now after all her transphobic shenanigans. A bunch of friends said they would have picked this up but don't want any HP representation in their displays anymore.
