Time to go all-in with Hono Studios Marvel Comics line?

- Hono Studios has been impressive with its early slate of 12" Marvel Comics figures. I'm debating whether it's time to get into the line while it's still relatively unexpensive.
You can pre-order the upcoming figures from my affiliate Sideshow Collectibles:

Iron Man: shrsl.com/4pcj9
Magneto: shrsl.com/4pcj7

I got the brown suit wolverine.. one of the most amazing 1/6 figures I’ve ever held
It really looks good. Glad to hear it didn't disappoint!
@@LylesFigureFiles About an hour ago they announced another wolverine... SAME tiger stripe but as an "unmasked head version" .. IMMEDIATELY made me reconsider this line of figures if they do this. Get ready for unmasked Iron Man UGH, way to burn a line to death before it even really starts.
I wanted the Brown suit, couldn’t get it before it sold out
Have literally been going over this dilemma today. They look so good and they’re just in the range where I could be like ‘oh maybe one.’ And we all know where that goes
All the way over the ledge. It's such a massive rabbit hole LOL
And another great review. You know you’re old when some teens come up to you to tell you, “I love Bicardi too!” As they walk away you realize you’re wearing a thunder cats, symbol only shirt.
LOL oh yeah. Or when kids younger than you were when the movie came out are rocking a Poetic Justice T-shirt.
That hono iron Man is pure badass. I don't do 1/6 . But if I did, definitely would be good 😂❤
It does look amazing, doesn't it?
@@LylesFigureFiles for artists to prevail and execute the exact look of the character this good is groundbreaking! It spells that it will change the esthetic way the industry will approach the look, engineering and materials! Is a 1/12 version around the corner?!!!?💯❤️
Hono dropping the unmasked tiger stripe version before I've even received my masked version is diabolical af. 🤣
Where'd you order your masked version from?
@@LylesFigureFiles Pretty sure it was Sideshow.
That magneto and dr doom look AMAZING
They REALLY do!
I have both Wolverines so far and the other figures on preorder. Hono is put out by Hot Toys. I’m really liking this line so far. Thor was shown at a recent convention and looks fantastic.
When the Hono Studios Comic Iron Man was initially solicited, I immediately locked in for it. The Brown Suit Wolverine looks amazing too, but I can't do it now. Then Hot Toys drops a classic Doctor Doom. Definitely getting him.
Never been into 1/6 at all but in the space of week I’ve discovered the Iron man Hono and seen the Dr Doom and all of a sudden I’m like oh!
Right. That Doom looks incredible!
Thanks for your efforts on this one Jeffrey. These Hono Toys are something. 12 inch figures are something many manufacturers avoid, however these guys have put together an incredible product. Their prices are very attractive. I hope they maintain that price range. An Hono Hulk might be interesting.
I'd love to see how they'd tackle Hulk.
TIGER PAWS, Road Pig, Raptor on SALE at Target 🎯 AND shipping RN!!!
Sold a bunch of my marvel universe 1/18 figs, props to you for keeping them. Still have some of my icons 1/6 scale though.
It's neck and neck with my WWE collection for largest. I still enjoy collecting them.
It just struck after all these years! Victor is a knight in armour. The tunic, the cowl and Cape of a King. He's not wearing an estucean or standard on a traditional surcoat with a bucket helmet, but the look is there.
"Sir Doom"🤔 no wonder I've always liked him! LoL😉.. No! I rebuke this rabbit hole devil, in the name of all that is Holy! Peace!
The new Mondo TASM line looks legit 👌 🎉
I like the mondo Cyclops variant,but mondo wants waaaay too much.These Hono are cheaper and waaaay better
Whoa! Nice figures! 2 MCU figures I'm dying to get are Thor with his Helmet (seen for about 30 seconds in the first Thor) and Captain America's first uniform from Captain America First Avenger-I think they did a 5 inch figure when that movie came out? Both done by Marvel Legends please! I think they should have rubberized the Black suit Spiderman. It looks like the Symbiote version since he's shooting from the tops of his hands. and the rubber body would have been closer to the symbiotic goo, not the fabric version he made later.
Waaay back in the day Hot Toys did release that helmet Thor: www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_061711a.htm
That makes sense about the symbiote version. I wonder how that would have impacted his articulation, but it certainly would have looked sleek.
Thanks, Jeff.
I’m in on this line, already have Comic Spidey, Classic Iron Man, and Wolvie.
My man. So what's the verdict?
29:13 Hey Jeff, I actually had the Wolverine figure pre-ordered when it first went up some months back. I usually use my PayPal debit card for preorders that are a ways out. That way I get a notification saying I need to update my payment method as I really don't leave money in the PayPal account. I do it that way so I am not surprised by a charge for a figure I forgot was pre-ordered. Long story short, I somehow missed that notification and my order was cancelled. I wouldn't have even known it was released if I didn't start seeing reviews. By that time it was too late. He was sold out. I did jump on the wait-list. So, fingers crossed. 🤞
Aww man that's no good. I'm doing the wait-list deal for Wolverine too. Maybe we'll get lucky?
@@LylesFigureFiles Good luck my man!
I keep looking at these too. Not sure what I am going to do. I have quite a few Sideshow/hottoys figs but Comic accurate renditions would be much better than MCU versions is my thinking. they showed the Thor at toyfare earier this year. I did pre-order the spidey and got on the wait list for brown Wolverine. On the fence for Ironman.
I pre-ordered the Doom too.
I decided to go on the waitlist for the Wolverines too. Figured it's worth a shot.
For a supposedly collector introduction line, they jumped their price from 165 to 215 in less than a year; in a span of 4 announced figures and 1 released figure. I suspected that this was a "hook" but I thought it would take time and be more of a gradual price increase. I got the yellow wolverine and have magneto on PO but at this point, I'm just hoping the price will still be "affordable" until I finish the core Avengers line but once I get my Ironman; I just might abandon the line.
Magneto is sticking in that affordable range and I get why Iron Man would be more expensive. I'm curious what Thor will be priced at.
@@LylesFigureFiles I got wolverine and PO'ed Magneto to support the effort but what I really wanted is to get the core avengers team (Cap, Thor, Ironman and Hulk). If you do decide, i think you need to set your collecting boundaries otherwise it won't be something you will enjoy. BTW, they just dropped a re-release of wolverine with a logan head.
Did you see they only recently announced an unmasked tiger stripe Wolverine too? Still watching the video but I didn't hear it come up when you mentioned the 6 announced figures. How do we feel about them locking an alternate unmasked head behind a third hono studios Wolverine?
I saw that they day after I recorded ;-)
I think it's an easy way to get it for more folks who missed out on the sold out version.
I got the tiger strip wolverine and absolutely love it .But as soon as i tried to put the clawed hands on all the claws fell right out ,had to to glue them all.They also seem very brittle so im worried about it falling and breaking because the stand sucks
Thanks for that feedback. How stable are they in terms of standing on their own?
@@LylesFigureFiles Mostly well balanced in good poses ,still im afraid,but i dont like or trust the stand. He wants to to roll forward on the crotch stand.Ill be getting a new one.Other than that ,I absolutely love it
Picked up the Wolverine, trying to resist buying others 🙏🏾
LOL. How do you like Wolverine?
Damn that IronMan looks 🔥 and I'm not even a big IM fan
It really looks great!
I'm going to avoid all 12 inch figure collections. There are too many rabbit holes. Also, I'm in the End Game for Marvel collecting as a whole. I went all in on Marvel 6 inch figure for the last 25 years. Time to close that chapter. I do however have a Hot Toys Ant-man in my 6 inch MCU collection.
What line are you going to get/get into more with the Marvel figures purchases getting phased out?
@LylesFigureFiles I'm looking to reduce and phase out 75% overall collecting since space is very limited. I'm looking to complete most of the G.I. Joe Classified characters from the 80s mainline single release between now and end of 2025. About 25 to go for that. Other than that, I only want to collect a limited one off of certain Mezco and Mafex figures as well as 3rd party like Ramen.
No money left, sir.
Do it Jeffery!!!! lol 🤣. I got the 2 Comic Wolverines Tiger stripe and brown suit and they are amazing for the price. I am picking and choosing but I do have Hano Magneto and Ironman on pre order.
Thanks! I'm thinking of taking that plunge!
@@LylesFigureFiles Dude!!!! Yesterday they announced the unmasked comic version ooh man
@@bigrib7294 I just posted that pre-order link!
You are absolutely killing me Jeff! Here I am trying to be a "responsible" collector and limiting my purchases and then you go and show me these, smh. (😉)
Seriously though, these looks great! I'm getting excited for the possibilities here. Give me a classic Ant-Man and Wasp, Vision and Ultron and wow, I will be a happy (and broke) man child.
Man, I had to have some company in my big dilemma LOL
I won't need a wholesale Marvel Comics setup, but high-end versions of the main heroes and villains? That could be fun.
Only if they give me Figures of Characters I don't have. Because with 3 different Marvel 'Earth's', 616, 777, and Futuristic 818, I don't need a lot of Figures. I'm at only about 12 'Holy Grails' before I can say I have a Complete Collection. Now, there are more I would buy. But I average about 2 Figures a Wave.
Makes sense!
@LylesFigureFiles Yeah, 30 years and 6 months Collector, I don't need a lot of Duplicates except Army Builders. Which is a whole other topic. Star Wars Black, Warhammer, and MOTU Animal Men have solved some of my problems.
I prefer this Iron Man over the yellow and red Iron Man Hot Toys had. It looked like it was in a plastic shell.
Ordered the Iron Man and the Magneto.
Also if they make a purple comic Hawkeye with the pointed mask, I would order it now.
Yeah, it's a very clean look for him. And Magneto looks great too.
@@LylesFigureFiles I find my 12" figures are lacking villains so this should help.
Oh man. I don't want to get into this line because my wallet won't love me any more. I know part of me will say just 1, but then I'll follow the rabbit like Neo. So if you were to get one. Which one would you get Jeff
Iron Man definitely caught my eye. I joined the waitlist for the Wolverine figures so we'll see. I definitely hope they get to Black Panther too.
@@LylesFigureFiles black panther would be nice.
Yes
I think I'm gonna have to real soon!
Hell nawl, they look amazing, but 1/6 scale is nasty asf 😂
LOL. Guess that's not your scale.
Except for the Iron Man all of the other figures have some really goofy-ass proportions. Magnetos head to chest ratio is weird, Spider-Mans head is too round. Wolverine and his spread eagle claws and his mask isn't shaped right.
Do you collect any other 12" lines?
I wish they'd re-release Wolverine.
Did you see this unmasked Wolverine they just debuted today? shrsl.com/4pekz
Sir jazzy Jeff, no. No, thank you. Love the silicone figures. I have several silicone ladies (silicone parts are made for toys "), however, they are all 6,7,9 inch scale. I got a pre-order for one at 12" and that's only because it's Chun Li in her track suit. Luke Skywalker and Grogu from Hot Toys as well as classic Iron Man. This started with icons series. Avengers only; Hulk, Thor,(I lost Odinson and son of coul in a move) That THOR looks like a good replacement)Cap, Legends Ant-Man, Wasp ftw. Comic style only and only these core members. No more, no less.
How are the silicone parts holding up for your figures?
@@LylesFigureFilesI have no issues. I did research. You only need to keep the figure away from extreme temperatures and limit the amount of time the figure is kept in a stretched pose. eg; high kicks or "T" poses. This may affect getting the figure back into a vanilla pose after stretching the skin for prolonged periods. Honestly, I have more issues with upkeep of synthetic/real hair on these dolls more than anything else. That won't be an issue for these MARVEL figures.
I have both Wolverines so far and the other figures on preorder. Hono is put out by Hot Toys. I’m really liking this line so far. Thor was shown at a recent convention and looks fantastic.
Nice! Glad to hear you like them. I think this will be a hard line for me to ignore at this point.
