Hot Toys Rain Carradine

I purchased mine from Toys Buying Agent on May 6th and I received it today on the 12th.

Overall is a great figure and a must buy if you’re a fan of the movie.

I do have a few nitpicks, it’s a little hard for her left hand to grab the grip on the gun, the wire for the Facehugger is a little hard to bend, and I wished it came with her jacket and I think I prefer the prototype head sculpt slightly more, but it was still worth the purchase.

Here’s how she looks next to my Temu Ripley figure😞

Toysbuyingagent > Sideshow

I preordered the Jinx on Sideshow on February 5th and it was expected to ship around March, March goes by…nothing, April goes by…nothing.
And I was seeing people already receiving theirs while I was still waiting for mine, so I decided to cancel the preorder and instead buy it from Toys Buying Agent, which I ordered on May 1st and it arrived on the 8th, Vi is supposed to arrive on the 11th.

Yeah Toysbuyingagent is more expensive, but I’m willing to pay a little extra if it means I’ll get it sooner

At least for me, I haven’t really had a good experience with preordering from Sideshow, they take too damn long.

So many figures are available for preorder at Sideshow, while Toysbuyingagent already has them available to ship.

I ordered the Rain Carradine figure at Toysbuyingagent on May 6th and it shipped the same day, while Sideshow still has theirs expected to ship around May-June.

Toysbuyingagent is just so much more faster, has way more older figures available and is just an overall great website.

Toysbuyingagent even has the new Padawan Ashoka figure which is sold out on Sideshow.

I don’t think I’m ever gonna preorder Hot Toys figures from Sideshow again, they’re also annoying with that non refundable deposit.

I recently did a post questioning the legitimacy of Pop Collectibles and most people said that they’re scammers and someone commented that Toys Buying Agent was a good alternative.

They have several figures that are rare and out of print, like this Director Krennic figure that I ordered on April 16th and it arrived today on the 27th.

The figure was completely brand new, never opened and in perfect condition.

So far I’d say that this is a great website to get Hot Toys figures secondhand, I’m honestly considering canceling my preorders on several figures from Sideshow and instead buy them from here, even if I might pay a little extra, at least I’ll have it sooner.
