Avengers - The Infinity War a.k.a The Hot Toys Reckoning

[RIDDICK]

^ I completely agree.
And even tho I'd be ok with gettin' a HT doll of him, they're just stupidly overpriced.
No way he worth more than $80, especially with just one head.

What are the odds of them making a IW hulkbuster?

You'd figure with all the time spent on getting the HB right, that they would gladly take up the challenge on this one. Would probably be a faster timetable with all they have learned. I do think there would be a solid market for it since HB is sold out.

I think the first HB proved that they can do it, point made, and they won't waste the time/resources on making another. I'd be surprised if they turned much a profit on the first one considering the redesign. Just a gut feeling the HB tied everything up to where they were running so long on release schedules. Now that it's done, we've been getting early releases on several figures.

Riddick I thought you hated the newer Captain America outfits, specifically the Infinity War one? [emoji38]

There where early releases last year and the year before as well. And half the delays where not actual delayed figures from hot toys, which is what a production hold up would be, but delays in Sideshow getting them out at the dates they quoted which where often the same dates hot toys had said. If hot toys say 1st qrt and Sideshow tells people December to February then that’s not a production delay if it comes out in March in Hong Kong. A few passed the hot toys deadlines but most did not, and only where delayed according the Sideshow anticipated shipping.

Also, after spending all the time and money to create the first figure it would be much easier and quicker the second time, even with outer design changes, to make the second figure and would significantly increase profit margins. Make more business sense to make one if they can.

I didn't buy any of those figures because of the outfit but if I really like IF and/or Rogers in it I'll give this one a pass for the sake of havin' something to close the line on my shelf.

I think it's very probable that they do make a IW HB. But of course you have to assume now that it will cost over a thousand at this point.

Rumor from today...

Spoiler

Iron man has the soul stone.

 

[guy66657]

That's actually been a rumor on reddit for a few weeks now. XD

I’d heard that but there’s a bit more evidence now

Iron Man and soul stone.

Whats the justification for it?

I don't see how HT skips the Hulkbuster 2.0. They've already done the R&D, and fully understand the resources needed to take on such a project.

Def Pick Up:

Everyone (except one/look below)

Maybe:

Hulkbuster 2.0 (if it's even made)

Pass:

None

This might be the last full line I collect. I did the same for Civil War. Nice to see the evolution of the characters on my shelves. I am going to be selective with my purchases going forward. Running out of room.

While still cryptic, if you're going to latch onto something mentioned under spoiler tags, it would be awesome if you maintained those tags, Mr. Lee/Feige/Downey Jr. Thanks!

Rumor from today about who or what has the soul stone...

Spoiler

Iron man has the soul stone.

Spoiler

This is the theory that I would agree with that makes a ton of sense.

Heimdall has it.

Since the first Thor, he has been able to identify people or souls from a great distance.

He has yellow eyes.

There is the T.H.A.N.O.S. theory, that covers what the stone identifies with. Tesseract, Heimdall, Aether, Necklace, Orb, Scepter.

I did not think of this til now, but since Hulk is on the ship with Heimdall, he could bring it to Earth and give it to Stark.

I’m not sure if Heimdel has the soul stone. It’s possible, and made sense for awhile, and still could. But he is way under powered if he has it. Hela or hulk would make more sense if it’s an H name. Hela since she brought the dead back, and hulk due to the power. Maybe gamma radiation came from the soul stone. Or H for Howard stark. I just am not sure it’s a name of a person in that theory given everything else is not. Seems odd. And I’d seen the Thanos thing done a few other ways.

I thought they were introducing the Soul Stone with Adam Warlock coming into A4?

Don’t think that makes a ton of sense. And any rumors about a4 are suspect given we have not had the previous film yet
