The SM3 Medicom figures didn't fail to sell because of the license. They failed to sell because they are Medicom figures. I actually like them for what they are, but now that we are all spoiled with Hot Toys, it is hard to accept Medi RAH toys.
Even though the movie was the worst of the 3, the Spidey is gonna look pretty much the same from any movie (I know there are slight differences), and with SM 3, you get Symbiote Spidey as well as at least 2 desirable baddies instead of just 1 (I'm sure they will release Goblin and Doc Ock later on). Seems to be the best film to start with, IMO.
Of course, we all have our pet licenses we would prefer to whatever HT gives us, but I'm looking forward to what they do with these lines. The Tron figures should be awesome, irrespective of the film (they will look similar enough to the original to be iconic even if the new movie fails). And I don't care for Avatar, but I suspect that line will be a massive success.

Oh I am terribly sorry, sir. A videogame-derived 'FILM' figure instead of a straight-from-videogame figure. That changes every thing.
Again, I just remember the person in my face about how Prince of Persia was going to be the 'best videogame movie ever'.
Focus on the "could". Hot Toys has such a great track record following through on licences, right?
And I'm still holding my breath for a Night Owl II figure.
But I do have to agree, Resident Evil Afterlife is going to blow
Other Resident Evil GAME figures would have been most welcome though.

I have to admit, the only thing on this list that interests me is THE EXPENDABLES.
SPIDER-MAN 3 was a monumental crapfest... but I'd probably get a well-done red & blue Spidey figure. I sold my Medicom ones a while back just for that reason.
The others? Meh.

Dan Paine from The Expendables cuz Stone Cold said so......oh and my last name.
Spiderman is the only franchise of interest in the new licenses besides "perhaps" Avatar (thank goodness). Perhaps 2011 won't be as expensive as 2010 for toys

I think mr. Buzz Killington above is badly mistaken if he thinks Tron Legacy will fail.
I think Expendables will do pretty well also.

The Terminator 2 T-1000, Assassin's Creed II Ezio, Dark Knight Batman DX02 and now EXPENDABLES figures are all on their way to me this year to add to the T-800 and Batman Begins Bats.
I love you Hot Toys!!!

If we get an awesome Spidey of of that line; many will be happy.
Oh - is HT making a new Edward Scissorhands?

Insufferable S.O.B.
Doesn't matter the quality of Spiderman 1, 2 or 3 films, we are getting a movie Spiderman figure.
The Expendables has several big action stars in it, who wouldn't want figures of them??
Tron in 1/6 will be interesting to see how they are pulled off.
Avatar? Meh interest, but I'm sure they will look good.
Michael Jackson eh. . . ..

Statham and Stallone are pretty much the guaranteed figures from the Expendables line i'd say. My collection will definitely be featuring those 2 sometime soon! 
I'd actually hope to see the whole team and a few baddies but realistically i'm not getting my hopes up. If we got Stallone, Statham, Jet li and Dolph Lundgren that would be ace. Any more would be a bonus. I'm not getting my hopes up for Arnie and Bruce willis either.

From the newly announced licenses, Tron: Legacy is the one that interests me most. Especially the possibility of figures with light-up bodysuits and a lightcycle! 
The Expendables sounds like a fun license, and depending on the film I might have to consider it, but right now it won't be a buy for me.
Maybe I'll get a Spider-Man, but that depends on how the figure will look.
And of course I'm still interested in Avatar!

None of the licences annouced really interest me. With the exception of Col. Hans Landa, the only figures I saw that really interest my are ones I allready knew about.
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
I'm very curious as well. I would love for it to be the Stealth Armor which I think is very likely and the Iron Patriot would be great (love the invincible Iron Man series).
