1/6 Hot Toys - MMS276 - Commando: John Matrix Collectible Figure

[YankeesFanboy]

O/T: Im sure most know this already...But after all the talk about Vernon Wells/Bennett character on here, how many remember him as the biker dude in the beginning of "Road Warrior"?...It's just weird to see him play a character that looks like that, and then as he looks as Bennett...

As for the Commando figure - Im speechless...I've been hoping for one of these since HT started doing Arnold as Terminator...And so totally out of left field as far as announcements go...I open my mailbox and bam!, there's the email from HT...I think the figure/accessories look great...As for the body, I agree could be bulkier, and I wouldn't even care if it was a body with visible joints...If it meant better size/proportions...

Ha ha, brilliant!

Never noticed that Bennett looks like Freddy Mercury. I would definitely like to see what Hot Toys could do with a Wez and a Max figure.

Nice, I've been wondering where you were with this figure, great choice, it will be a great addition to your Arnuuuld collection

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Is this the same prototype that is shown on all the pics or a new head painted by JC. Hong?

Same. HT spec photos never show sculpts at their full potential.

Why I am waiting for toy hunter display photos.

I have no interest in this figure due to the rubber arms that Will crack and tear over time (especially when putting him in poses)..So if you only want this thing
sitting on your shelf for a year or two before the rotting arms commence,have at it!

The only way I'll even look at this figure is if Hot Toys changes the arms to plastic (like it should of been to begin with) They did it with Avengers Hawkeye.

Can't even bother with their Conan and Rambo because those will probably be cracking rubber messes too

"that guy" is posting videos of IM mods instead sorry, he's salty that we are mad about every IM announcement.

Yet Dutch and the 300 figure show no signs of this cracking you speak of....... ED 209 on the other hand

until posed...basically they have to stay "stactioned" to survive

Don't know but had mine in extreme pose for a year and was fine, no cracks on the Dutch thread when I checked last week so I can't say for sure. You might be right about the Leonidis figure, they are usually posed museum style.

I'll own this after release and a deal is found. Will look great on my 80's shelf with Robo, Riggs and T1. All I need is John Rambo and McClane to round it out....

 

[YankeesFanboy]

We'd be all over HT's jock if Rambo and McClane showed up at SDCC 2015.

Yippee ki yay!

But then what figures would we have to look forward to? HT is busting their nut and running out of 80's gems soon.

That's fine. Better now than never before they change their mind and never make them.

Rambo, Mcclane and ghostbusters is what I want to see most from ht.

 

[Johnny Utah]

I want HT to keep going. With Dutch 2.0, and finally Conan. Ideally with this headsculpt:

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Maybe rooted hair will be both viable - and acceptable - by that time.

My wish list gets smaller and smaller, and yes they need to do Ghostbusters, the Ecto 1 would be as big as the 89 batmobile though.

 

[DEATHASYLUM]

Updated Rambo is a must
