Re: Hot Toys - MMS113 - Blade II - 1/6th scale BLADE Ltd Ed spec + pics
Free shipping is finished on Blade on ebay! Back to $140 + $40 shipping...
But about the limited edition - I'm really sure there won't be a Blade DX - I think the psychology behind limited editions is that if you produce an unlimited amount of figures, then people (like me!) will just wait a year until the prices have gone down to like $75 a figure (I just bought Harvey Dent/Two face for that much!). If it's limited, you might not find it if you wait, and even worse, the prices might go up versus down - like the HT Batman Begins from last year which is now selling for $300-400!
This pushes people who would normally wait, to buy right away. For me the free shipping on top of the limited edition status is what clinched the deal

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...

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..
A DX Blade might not be feasible if only for the fact that the DX line prides itself on its PERS function and Blade wears sunglasses more often than not. 
I think HT could totally come out with a DX Logan.  In a perfect world, it would be WWII Logan, helmet and all, with a second outfit and head sculpt for American Civil War (or was it the Revolutionary War?) Logan. Add into the mix his bone claws and period-specific guns, and you have a mind-blowing figure! 
HANNIBAL KING! HANNIBAL KING! HANNIBAL KING! 
Even before the announcement that HT acquired the Blade license, King was one of my top desired figures for HT to make. Ryan Reynolds with facial hair and a waxed haircut would make for such a bad-ass head sculpt! The figure would totally have to include his white undershirt...
...his black, long-sleeved shirt...
...his tactical vest (complete with name tag)...
...and his orange/light brown leather jacket.
Oh yeah; a pair of dark pants as well.
That may seem like a lot of clothing, but it's only one more article than the first Joker figure came with. Accessories would include his camera handguns and the shotgun he never got to use. But seriously: the shotgun. 
In terms of another Blade, HT could make a Trinity version that would include his red, long-sleeved shirt. They could also give him muscular arms with his signature tattoos, so that he can be displayed wearing only his vest on his upper body, like in the two earlier films.
There are plenty of things HT could do with this license, and I didn't even cover Abby Whistler!

Thanks, Kaido! I'll definitely be making the suggestion to HT in the near future. I've been working on a few proposals, but I just haven't had the time to finalize them. I do have some spare time tomorrow, so I'll wrap up my Tribal Sheva concept, but the next one will definitely be DX Logan.

I agree with Kaido Femtech, your DX Logan would be a huge seller. Great Idea as always. They need you in product development at one of these toy companies !!

Thanks, Hunter! It's moments like these that make me wish there was a blushing emoticon. I'll settle for this one:
I would love a job in figure development! Then I could help bring to life all the figures that everyone at Medi World really wants to see!
I'll see what kind of proposal I can whip up for DX Logan.
