A General Chat about Hot Toys

[Voorhees27]

Yeah, like bag of burning dog s__t!

Let's see:

Biohazard Afterlife: Video game figures. Well, they seem to sell well and they actually do more than one figure. So that is one reasonable licence out of six.

*The Expendables: will flop at the box office and get one figure, next year's Prince of Persia. Fail.

* Tron Legacy: another hyped remake of cult film that will fail, next year's Clash of the Titans. Fail.

* Avatar (Movie Masterpiece) - wasn't that your big announcement last year? Double fail.

* Spider-Man 3 - They choose the worst film of the main Marvel licences...the one where Medicom products have been lingering unsold from it for years due to fans abiding love. Keeps the Blade, Ghostrider, emo theme going though.

* Michael Jackson ver. Smooth Criminal - yields one figure, tops, of everybody's favouraite child-molesting wierdo. But he sells, so I have to give you that, two of six.

I am sorry you don't like their choices however, I enjoy Spiderman and Avatar announcements. IMO the other's are meh.

 

[Star Puffs]

Yeah I seem to recall people being in my face on the POTA thread about how Prince of Persia and Clash of the Titans were going to just rock and how awesome it would be to get figures from them. Well....

But hey if amazing, innovative figures like the POTA gorilla soldiers or Mars Attacks figures get outsold by fanboy crap like video game licences, then we get what we deserve.

To add insult to injury that weak Hans Landa head sculpt is probably the result of not getting the likeness rights and not a rushed prototype.

Anyone keeping up on Eddie Wong's blog:https://www.eddiewong.net/
He has place holder's for HT new licenses and special figs:

Ironman (Special figs)
Spiderman 3
The Expendables

The Iron Man special figures are gonna be the ones from that Toyko Show I bet. Things like that Stealth Iron Man

Spidey will be cool. Might be tempted to get that. I can't wait to see the Expendables movie. Gonna be awesome but won't get any of the figures.

The Expendables doesn't impress me much either but IM and Spidey will be nice even though I prefer figures from SM2. I am more curious about Avatar (scale) than I am necessarily purchasing but stranger things have happened.

I know the movie is gonna be a blast. I'm really really excited to see it. Gonna be a nice harken back to the 80's action flicks. I just want Spidey in his costume which I really love from the movies. So I would be happy with anything from the series. I do like the though of having his reg and black versions.

80's

Yup a red / blue & black Spidey is all I need. Anything else is icing on the cake.

I've been waiting many years for the perfect 1/6 Spiderman figures. I hope we get many.

80's indeed!

I agree with ya there. Give me those two and I'm good.

I hope red / blue is a 2 in 1 clean and bd. I love Spidey but don't want 6 of them like IM.

Eddie Wong's Blog is pending pictures of TWO Iron man Special Figures, oh man cant wait to find out what they are. My bet is that the stealth Iron man from the HK expo is going to be one of them. I like that it's an actual Iron Man suit from the comics and not a made up one like last year's Gun Metal variant. If the second special figure is a new Iron Patriot variant then my dream for a nice Hall of Armor collection would be complete

 

[LoneWolf]

I'm a Rambo fan, so having The Expendables license available for Hot Toys would mean a bearded HS of Stallone! plenty of kitbashing possibilities, along with a Jet Li HS & Statham HS.. Hope they also make Lundgren.

*The Expendables: will flop at the box office and get one figure, next year's Prince of Persia. Fail.

you fail

Its most likely the the figure with a custom sculpt of the host from the TV show which previews Hot Toys products

 

[Theokan]

Ya whether or not The Expendable movie flops or not is almost irrelevant. This license could means HT quality headsculpts of Jet Li, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, etc... That alone is pretty much a goldmine in the 1:6 custom world. You really can't compare that to Prince of Persia or Clash of Titans remake.

As for Spiderman 3, he looks exactly the same in all three movies. The only difference that's going to make is the little logo on the stand. Also if they are doing one character per each of the trilogy like where they are going with Blade so far, you want them to do Spidey from part 3 so it opens up the Doc Ock from part 2 and Green Goblin from part 1.

 

[Sachiel]

He's not exactly the same in all three movies.

 

[Centrocal]

I really hope they make 'New Goblin' from Spiderman 3, I liked his costume and all the gear he had, I always like any character that uses technology. He would make a cool figure, and they could give him a display for the hover board like Tony Stark.

You should at least know what you are talking about before you slam it. Resident Evil Afterlife is the upcoming FILM, not a videogame.
