I'd much rather have a Kurt Russell Snake than the Crow. I didn't even know there was a fan base for the Crow.

Wot...

Well to be fair, I had no idea who Plissken was other than a reference in MGS.

Anyways, I think it's pretty douchey (and quite immature) to say pointless stuff like "this is crap, what a waste"... HT tries to do some other licenses and people get mad?

Oh, where's *insert HT ALREADY ANNOUNCED LICENSE here*?? **** you HT! Stop wasting time. Seriously?... Is this how we're going to act?
 
I never saw the Escape From LA/NY movies, but I know who Snake is from people talking about it. If this was a Snake figure, I wouldn't be hating it, I just wouldn't buy it and move on. But then you got the ones that find out this is a crow figure and hate it and then rant on but not leaving the thread...just saying.
 
It's the Crow, surely.
Well.. how can we argue with that great assessment! :duff

I looked at the pic & thought (how the **** is that the CROW?).. :lol

I'm happy to be proven wrong though.. it's been too long. :)

Legendary film.

Legendary actor (in his own right).

More than worthy of a HT figure.

There's much love for his dad, & I'm sure HT has been waiting for the right time to give the son his debut.. we'll see huh. :cool:
 
Snake Plissken's well-known but not to the extent of The Crow. This isn't based on character merits either, look at what karamazov80 said a few pages back, Brandon Lee's performance hit at just the right time in history and, as a result, been cemented in pop culture. Snake has a spot as well, but without the advantage of timing (and I hate to say it, but also the mystery surrounding the lead actor's death).

Bottom line: if HT finally made this figure after years of fans pleading, I have no doubt the same will happen for Snake. But getting into a ____measuring contest over popularity? Really? Just because it's not what you hoped for given a teaser that clearly shows black hair and white make-up, you're going to argue that no one cares about the character? There are at least three wish list threads on here spanning several years, each with dozens of posts.

:exactly:

That said - EFNY is a pretty well known film, & Kurt carved his niche with that character.

I still think he'd have made a KILLER Wolverine back then. :rock

You just contradicted yourself. And how would you know?

I agree to an extent but to be fair it's HT's own fault for over-promising figures and leaving people desapointed

if HT hadn't said "we're making these figure for you" then people wouldn't be anticipating and expecting them to actually make them.

It's great that they didn't announce the Crow 2 years ago as people would've been anticipating it and getting pissed at the long waiting time.

The basic principle behind "where's [INSERT FIGURE]?" is that it's like a queue system with others constantly just appearing and jumping ahead of the queue.

I'm aware of that, just pointing out why HT saw fit to make this and not Plissken first. Using popularity as an argument simply because you're butt-upset doesn't make sense here. Not saying Snake doesn't have fans or doesn't deserve a figure, I enjoyed EFNY very much. There's just more of a reason to expect a Crow given those circumstances and the teaser. You guys got your hopes up, that's that.

...how many times do you intend to contradict your popularity theory but saying how much more the Crow is popular?

I never was on this Snake bandwagon, I want a Crow figure. You're the one on the peener measuring contest with everyone else.
 
Yeah it's a newer movie and more people know about it (well, I didn't).

I'm not saying one is better than the other here...

Lets go by ratings.

The Taking with 6.4

Escape from New York with 7.2

The Crow with 7.6
 
i Recently watched the Crow actually. In my opinion, its a classic, it has a great style and good characters you can invest it, Angers me that they made horrendous sequels trying to rehash the same ideas. Its a shame what happen to Brandon also, i bet he would of been a big star, I hope Hot Toys does a crow figure, its a bad@$$ character that deserves a cool figure!!!
