1/6 Hot Toys - Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - Kang Collectible Figure

[Omega9300]

Found guilty. So much for that supposed video evidence proving his innocence What a bummer.

Well he was found guilty on a couple counts and not on a couple others as I read it.

Either way he needed to be found innocent on ALL charges for this to not be very ugly and not impact the public’s perception of him for a long time.

I think they will still make this figure bk as some have said before in other threads, all these Marvel and DC characters are bigger than any actor or actress that happens to be playing them at any given moment. That said, I am glad that I always display my figures with their masks/helmets on.

I have always seen this is a Kang figure, not a Jonathan Majors figure. However I would be lying if I didn’t say I was disappointed in Majors.

There's still a plethora of Ezra Miller, Amber Heard, Jeremy Renner etc toys and statues and more on the way. Has a Hot Toy ever been cancelled after POs solicited? Especially when its in theory 6 months or so from release. All the Quantumania stuff has been waitlisted for months

Being profitable always trumps being problematic.

They have not.

I also fail to see why they would cancel it when there are plenty of Marvel Legends, Funko Pops, etc., on-shelf already. Obviously they won't make more figures based on Majors' likeness, but it would have little benefit to cancel this one.

Still looking forward to the figure.

Wonder what happens with this figure now

It will sell better than it did before. More people will probably order now.

None of them are facing a possible year in prison.

He was running away from her like Forrest Gump on that CCTV footage, definitely not a clear "wifebeater" case.

Different scenarios too.
Amber Heard was never charged with anything, only sued. Due to her own ignorance and ego, outed herself as an abusive Karen in court.
Ezra Miller was protected by WBD CEO David Zaslav because he wanted the Flash to succeed. Since the film tanked, it's unclear if that protection will hold up.
Not sure on Jeremy Renner's case.

Renner's brush with death and physical recovery journey won him a lot of sympathy points.

At least Kang can just be re-cast and called a variant or whatever. Its not a big deal really. No problem with Majors but wasnt a huge fan anyway.

I don't think Renner actually has a case. I think there was accusations that wasn't substantiated in a child custody proceeding, and ultimately how much money Renner was going to have pay.

Guess they wanted to get this out before any recasting or plan shifting with Marvel happened around Kang.

Well, now they cancelled the Flash figure.
Dunno if the same will happen with Kang, though.

 

[rocbolt]

That was cancelled for lack of orders, there are still multiple other Ezra figures and statues on order. This Kang figure has been waitlisted for a year and is clearly in final production at this point

 

[Earth 616 Collector]

Literally on this page, just a few posts up is a picture from Hot Toys that shows 14 figures and 1 vehicle that says upcoming releases. One of those 14 figures is Kang, so I'm 100% sure he's not getting canceled.

I still very much want a Kang in my collection. Personally, I was enjoying the direction of the character and excited to see what it was building up to.

That Kang was just a p....p.....prototype

Are there any pics of the final yet? I hope he turned out ok. Despite all the drama, I like the character and wanted more.
