I think limited edition is so that people don't wait for prices to go down on ebay...
Kaido, you're in Canada right? Where'd you order yours from?

Johnny Haggis, I ordered from eBay, from ABCExpress. $139.99 shipped dude!
You can get the figures way cheaper preordering from HK sellers, I find. If the figures already out and demand is too high, then I go with Toys2 usually. They are the Canadian Hot Toys distributor, but charge GST.

Re: Hot Toys - MMS113 - Blade II - 1/6th scale BLADE Ltd Ed spec + pics
Holy crap, that's unusually cheap for a hot toys shipped from HK! Shipping is usually $40 for regular airmail! I usually avoid buying from HK just because the shipping is so high that it ends up cheaper from toys2, but this is exceptional.
Why do you think it's so (relatively) low?
Thanks so much for that tip by the way!
Did they do that with wolverine too? Can't find one at a good price.

- Unusually cheap yes, that's why I had to jump on the deal right away! Hope HT doesn't make any major changes to head sculpt in the meantime if it isn't for the better, lolz.
- I think a lot of HK sellers jack up shipping prices for the international buyers. This particular seller seems to charge $20 shipping for the standard Hot Toys box and also offers combined shipping.
- I believe it's at such a low price because it's a very early preorder.
- As for Logan, don't know if they did it, but they prolly did!
So the most important question is, Johnnyhaggis, did you order a Blade for yourself?? With the money you're saving with Blade, get yourself a Wolverine too and combine shipping bro!

I think you're a secret rep for abc! I did get the blade, but I'll have to hold off on wolverine.
I think HK sellers charge so much for shipping to recoup the bloody ebay and paypal fees. You lose 20% of your total in fees nowadays. That's why I don't sell on ebay when I can avoid it.

Re: Hot Toys - MMS113 - Blade II - 1/6th scale BLADE Ltd Ed spec + pics
Touch wood! I hear you Eighth, but I hope you're wrong of course. 
Btw, I can't imagine how they can improve on this Blade release since they are including both outfits and all the main weapons from the film with this first release.
For that matter, I don't know how they will release a DX Logan either... I think they might make a Sabertooth and include a snarling Logan head with it, but as for an entirely new figure, I don't know how they can make it special enough that people will buy it.
But leave it to Hot Toys to find a way! Maybe!

Re: Hot Toys - MMS113 - Blade II - 1/6th scale BLADE Ltd Ed spec + pics
honestly i think the likeness of blade is way closer to snipes as opposed to the likeness of ht's wolvie to that of hugh jackman.
though i honestly do hope that they don't put up a dx blade. but this fig really does look good and has all we need for a blade. NOW HAND US HANNIBAL KING!!!
on another note. anyone seen the body used for this figure? is it going to be muscular? would be good for putting blade without the undershirt but with the kevlar vest for the final fight scene..
