[The Iron Koob]

where is that from?

Toy Sapien store.

that's an old pic

 

[dw316]

Yeah, it's back from May.

Bit the bullet and started my own Ranger...

 

[Prime Clone]

Nice! Yeah, I'll probably do likewise. At least his "genericness" makes him easy to recreate.

I really wish this was happening still....is it officially scrapped?

Have Hot Toys ever officially scraped anything?
Generally Howard will do an interview two+ years later and when someone asks, we get an answer like, "oh that, well we no longer have the license"

 

[Prime Clone]

Yeah that's what's likely to happen here - unless Tonto sales were strong enough for them to reconsider.

Well if I win the lotto I'll buy every Tonto I can find if that's what it takes

Won't help. Jack Sparrow DX sold more figures than any Hot Toys figure to date and we haven't seen JACK ***** from that license except a god awful Angjelica. Puke.

They are using the gun twirling hands for Alex Murphy The final insult

 

[Prime Clone]

"Gentlemen, we can rebuild him" piece by piece. Pick up the hands and Tonto's gun on the secondary market. Then wait for someone to do an Armie head ...

Okay, this has prompted me to set up a Facebook page to petition HT for the Ranger. Please like here: [url]https://www.facebook.com/HotToysLoneRanger[/URL].

Will post a link once the e-petition is live.

Lookin' sweeeeet! What were your ingredients?

 

[bidufarewell]

Tried stick to Hot Toys where possible just for the quality and cut:
TTM19 Body and head (extended the legs)
Tony Stark Cowboy hat (needs to be lightened)
Wolverine Coat
Joker waistcoat
Wolverine Trousers (Dark brown)
Dam Toys Boots
Searched long and hard for a white shirt with buttons to scale (could be DiD)
I have a Western rig from Stevostoys
The rig in photo, scarf, mask and badge are all from the Disney 12" figure.

 

[Prime Clone]

Thanks for that. Yeah, my plan was to stick to HT too. Was looking at Banner's pants but Wolvie's might be better.

You could also add Tonto's gun and Alex Murphy's pistol-twirling hands (when available) to the mix!

Out of curiosity where are you getting those numbers? Hot toys does not release how many they produce nor sell publicly.

And though I like the figure, I do not think it would even be top ten in sales. This is a business guys. If it really out sold iron man and marvel and everything else they would milk it. Given the number of movies, characters in each movie, and rumored upcoming sequels if it was a big seller they would not stop making it till it no longer made money.

Now that Ichabod Crane has come out of nowhere, do we dare get our hopes up for the Ranger?

FWIW despite being a "flop" The Lone Ranger made $50 million more at the worldwide box office than Sleepy Holllow. So by that logic they should give him to us.

But again, it's probably just the Depp factor ...
