Are Hot Toys a Good Investment in 2021?

Hot Toys are some of the creators of the most collectible six scale figures in the world, with most of the popular movies, series, cartoons, comics, and even anime having figures made by the company. Many people have taken note of these figures and wonder if collecting them would be worth it, sometimes getting confused by the multiple layers of figures they find once they start digging.

Hot Toys are still a good investment as, as each year passes, each toy becomes rarer in its own right. As they are made to a very high standard and too many collectors, they are thought of as artworks in their own right. If you collect a few rare figures and store them away properly, they may become extremely rare in 10 years or more, which is where the investments come to fruition.

You may wonder how collectors or even you will determine which toys will be collectible, where to store them, and what is okay to do with them while displaying them. Many first-time buyers are confused about how these toys ever become worth more, while others are constantly looking to find ways to show off their collections in ever magnificent ways.

How do they Increase in Value?

Figurines like all collectibles increase in value through two ways, age, and rarity. This is because most figures will have limited runs. Hot Toys will only create a set amount of each type, limiting how many there are on the market. Sometimes the value of the figure can increase as there are fewer available on the current markets.

When figurines have aged significantly, and you can no longer simply find them on store shelves, collectors will start looking for the toys. However, it can take a while for this to happen, as many of the figurines may appear in bargain shops or on eBay long before they have become collectible. This results in even the rarest of hot toy figures only becoming truly collectible and increasing in value around 10 years or more after they have been released.

Some of the rarest toys in the world were created in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, many times hundreds, sometimes thousands, of these were created. However, as time went by the number of available figurines that were still in almost perfect condition decreased and collectors started paying a premium to find them.

Here’s Man of Hot Collectables TOP 10 Hot Toys Figures of 2020

Sometimes it can be hard to choose which figurines would be the most collectible, other times it can be a challenge just finding the ones you are looking for. These are the figurines that were released near 2020, or simply the ones that are still one sale despite 2020. Not all of these were first released in the year, but even now in 2021, you can find a few of them online.

• Golden Armor Wonder Woman: When it comes to figurines that look amazing, few can match the Golden Armor Wonder Woman modeled after the WW84 movie. It is one of the most extravagant figures currently on the market and will become one of the most collectible ones shortly.
• Iron Man Mark LXXXV (Battle Damage): The latest phase of the marvel universe ended what feels like yesterday, but the world of figures is still ongoing. The movie brought many uniquely designed models into the world. However, if you want to start your collection now, it would be best to start with the most iconic one out there. Iron Man battles scarred, with the infinity stones on his right hand, a moment that will be remembered in cinematic history.
• The Child Mandalorian: The Mandalorian took the world by storm when released in early 2020, and nothing was as iconic as the Child. Hot Toys has a 1/4 scale of The Child that has recently regained some popularity as the show’s second season has been released. If you can grab one, it is set to be an amazing addition to your collection.
• Gellert Grindelwald: A different kind of collectible figure, the Gellert Grindelwald Special Edition for the Crimes of Grindelwald movie has been on the market for a while. It is one of the figures that will be iconic as Johnny Depp no longer plays the character. In years to come, it may become extremely rare because few other people take the chance to collect it now.

Conclusion

Collecting Hot Toys figures is a sure way to make your man or lady cave look awesome or simply to spark a good conversation in your living room. Collectibles rarely depreciate in value and if you care for them and wait long enough they can become solid investments. Many collectors around the world simply started collecting what they loved, then moved on to collect more rare pieces.

Just be sure you aren’t putting your collections in the open, you never know when an errant wind can make a domino effect that damages everything!
