"2001: A Space Odyssey"... How about it, HT?

[FlyAndFight]

After obtaining the 2 amazing astronaut figures, Dallas and Kane from "Alien", I only wish that Hot Toys would pick up the license for "2001: A Space Odyssey" and release at least the 3 different colored space suits:

Red: Commander David Bowman
Yellow: Dr. Frank Poole
Silver: Dr. Heywood Floyd

HT can even use the SS Hobbit figure to do a "Moon Watcher" apeman,

Finally, they can release the following large items:

-Pod (with lighted interior, of course.)

-Monolith (not much to this one...)

I'd definitely be in for all of the above.

Any other 2001 fans?

IN!

Especially after not being able to get the TwinchSquad figures. Glad I didn't though, after that fiasco. And I came 'this close' to dropping nearly $600 in the year 2001 for the 3 suits (yellow, red, silver).

Funny thing is, now that the 1/6 game has changed, these suits look a bit 'Hasbro-ish' to me now. But back in the day, they were AMAZING! They're still pretty kickass (at least the backpacks and helmets)...but I'd rather have HT 1/6 and SS PF!

I'd buy a bowman..

I was fortunate enough not to have been caught in the Twinch Squad fiasco as well.

I just posted on the Hot Toys forum's "Wish List" section so I'm hoping that they listen...

Anyone that can get the merchandising license to any Kubrick film would be a god.

 

[abake]

I'm in!
2001 is awesome and the design of the suits is brilliant.
And Bowman should come with an extra green helmet.

And if someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!

I'd be all over any figures from 2001--from apes to monolith and everything in between.

 

[Reinhardt]

would be totally in for those. and while they are at it, do more of Kubrick.

I want an Alex and Jack Torrance!

What he said.

 

[The Chaver]

Why is it so hard to get the 2001 license?? I once read somewhere why,but forgot?

 

[Odowankenobi]

2001 is one of those films, while a good film, is really not one I feel the need to have action figures from. Now, if there were perhaps a 1:1 HAL to hang on my wall to freak people out, I may be for it.

CaptCardboard has mentioned that some company claims to have rights
and even plans to produce figures. That was what maybe a year ago now...

 

[The Drizzle]

I was burned for $300- a red and a yellow suit. I would love for a reputable company to do it, even if in some ways it would remind me of that bad memory.

 

[sladesuperagent]

The Kubrick Estate does not give up the rights to Stanley's work all that easy, so figures have always been out of the question.

I read that as well. I have a curious suspicion (and hope) that perhaps Hot Toys is somehow involved...

I mentioned this in a thread in the customs section, that I know a sculptor who has been commisioned to do licensed portraits of Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood. All that they would tell me is that all will be revealed at NYCC. This sculpting studio works for several different companies so I'm not sure who it might be, although it may be safe to rule out Tonner.

This is freakin' FANTASTIC news!!!

When is the NYCC taking place?

From what I hear......no

 

[galactiboy]

Well if I hope whoever gets it (if it ever happens) does the figures justice. But man-oh-man, would I be thrilled with a line of figures from Kubrick films

And I'm not into statues, but I'd buy one of this:
