1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Rhino Collectible Figure (First Glimpse)

[Savage]

Im not sure whats realistic about a giant mechanical rhino with guns on it. That ultimate rhino design would have worked much better or at least something in that vein.

This Mech-Bot-Rhino design gave me a Christopher Nolan realistic feeling to it. I know it is not possible to build one, that can run and jump like the movie does. Like the Batman trilogy it is a different kind of interpretation. I would have no problem with an ultimate version, but I was referier to an original 710 lbs heavy Human beeing in a jumpsuit. As much as I was dissapointed from the movie itself, as much I want this monster.

The only figures they have actually shown (photographed/displayed) and then canceled are Loki from Thor 1 and The Lone Ranger ...I forget which movie he's from. I also want to say Prometheus, probably.

Theres also examples of them starting projects that never got off the ground like, that 1/4 Terminator and 1/4 Predator which just evaporated, the Bruce Lee figure they were gonna do but then they lost the license, The Green Lantern when the movie bombed they just made up some lame excuse about lights being too complicated The Watchmen which they had a complete Rorschach proto but never announced it. And Cannibal Jack from Pirates, they started making a chair and then I guess they got distracted by a ball of yarn or something.

So, a few actually. Damn, so I guess this is dead. Have they said, officially, that Lone Ranger is dead?

 

[holtrax]

With hulkbuster coming down the line honestly who needs this ?

 

[jespernicolaj]

I do. I have no love for Hulkbuster, but Rhino...

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Which gets released first? This? The Bat? Or the '66 Batmobile?

 

[ksteezy]

My bet is this isn't dropping, not with all the higher priced figures due to drop as well....

 

[MyenShi]

Which gets released first? This? The Bat? Or the '66 Batmobile?

The Bat, at least in 1/12 scale... since that's actually in production and all. I don't know what happened to the '66, but there's a chance that'll happen. The West Batman seems to have sold well. Now, this, the Rhino? A not terribly popular character from a series that may get the axe soon (Garfield fired, rights returned to Marvel... we can only hope). Yeah, destined to purgatory alongside Green Lantern and the rest of the Sucker Punch and Watchmen lines.

I do. I have no love for Hulkbuster, but Rhino...

I was going to say something snarky but... eh.

 

[holtrax]

the helmet on this thing looks a little too close to this

 

[Rorywan]

This isn't going to be released. Especially with all the current media negativity aimed at this reboot franchise.

Really can't see it happening. It's Watchmaniteis syndrome.

I have lost hope for this one. It's too bad since Spidey is my favorite Marvel character. Would love to build up a nice rogue display. The only one i have now is the Sandman display. Wasn't a fan of the new Green Goblin, hate how different Electro looks from the classic version, and Rhino I would have bought but not probably never released.

 

[WalkingDeadZombies]

I just seen the video and I must say holy smoke I need this thing. I'm assuming it will never see the light of day unfortunately

I'm pretty sure anyone who was working on Rhino has since been reassigned to Hulkbuster.

 

[toycrypt]

I love the Rhino but have zero interest in this version.

 

[dms54nyc]

Im amazed that electros still coming out. Hes gona be double reward discounted to the max lol no pun intended

 

[evenflow]

As much as i would love this, accepted that it is probably never coming out. Needs to get added to the youtube video of announced figures never released. Just hope Drax doesn't fall victim to the same fate.

 

[Ironlegion]

I heard this will still come out.. eventually like it happened with the bat.
There's a rumor going around about drax and likeness rights issues. In the end, I think both figures will get released. Drax with a less likeness and this rhino.

 

[evenflow]

Seems unlikely with Spidey now part of the MCU. I would assume HT will just wait to see what villains and designs are included in the new movie and let this one pass.

 

[megawarrior]

I completely forgot about this! What the hell!?

 

[PopCultKid]

Dead and buried.

Dare I say thank God

 

[ksteezy]

Yeah this is in the can, no way HT gonna take a risk on a figure that will probably cost as much to sell and make as HB that will sit in their warehouse FOR SURE due to the new fate of the franchise....I might get Electro only to keep Spidey company, since at the moment he looks very much out of place in my collection...lol
