    who's copying who? Hot toys or Enterbay?

    I just started to look into enterbay and I see they have the T2 Arnold, the Jack Sparrow, the Bruce lee's?

    I love hot toys but I gotta admit Enterbay is just as good, I saw That Elvis in person and the Tony Montana's and they are perfect!

    I believe Enterbay went higher quality/higher price point first, but I don't think they have a north american distribution deal like Hot toys does with sideshow do they?

      I was dissapointed in the Stallone Rambo III enterbay.

      Looks poorly made!

        Yeah but the Hot toys Stallone's all suck as well except the Barney Ross

          I think they're mainly copying each other's prices.

          I like what Enterbay is doing, the properties they pick. Leon, for example, is fantastic, and I'm going to have to pick up a Bruce Lee somewhere along the line, probably in "parts". I collected my Leon in parts (head, weapons, etc) over the course of four months, and ended up paying about $100 total, not including a body, which I had already.

            I asked Enterbay if they were going to sell the Bruce Lee head separate, like they do the new body, and they said no.

            I picked up a Kato figure from them, and I love it!

            I also got a base body, and a separate head from evilbay about a year back.

              I get all my loose parts (head sculpts etc) from Ebay. I love the Chinese. With a little patience, you can assemble a figure and get it a lot cheaper than buying it complete.

                It's just the waiting time for it to arrive that kills you.

                    True, but if you're patient, there's always one that slips through the cracks, nobody's bidding, and I'm in.
                    My Leon cost me $100. Only thing missing is his winter coat, which I don't need because I want to see his weapons harness underneath.
                    It's a matter of taking your time, and not getting carried away saying "I need this piece now".
                    But maybe one day, I'll not succeed and have a great figure...with no head...

                              Tony Montana looks awesome. Will he come with a big bowl of cocaine?

                              Great face sculpt, and a well-tailored suit. Theyr'e finally making some realistic suits that don't look like dolls' outfits...
