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

[Motuxmen]

It’s a custom made case. There’s a few places that make them but you should look close to your area because shipping is insane.

Aren't these pictures confirming Dr. Strange, Black Panther, etc?

I am surprised nobody comments on these.

Yeah, as was mentioned I doubt that means anything. Loki and Black Panther especially aren’t going to be released for Infinity War, if only because their figures aren’t even out yet. I know they said if they’re similar costumes they might not get a new figure, but Doctor Strange is still iffy.

Spoiler

He’s a pretty important part of the movie, and they can add some accessories like the red energy whips or whatever, maybe cardboard arms to replicate the Hindu god look, and a Titan background.

I would really like to see HT tackle a Battle Damaged mark 50 with a half helmeted face and Tonys clothes showing through the other damaged parts of the nano armor. Would be an impressive piece if they went the distance with it... I don't see it happening though.

I'm also hoping Hot Toys makes another Doctor Strange, not just because I missed out on him originally, but also as a big middle finger to all the scalpers who are trying to get $700 and up for it now. I'd rather go without the figure forever than pay a scalper for one.

I believe in free markets and in the case of Dr. Strange, I expect prices to go down if the market does not think that the figure is worth at least $700. That being said, it is such a nice figure that is definitely worth more than retail in my opinion. Disclaimer: I may be biased since I own this figure but I really like it and do not plan to sell mine.

Howard Chan stated in a ToysTV interview that characters with figures already made with similar or identical costumes in IW are not likely to get re-released.

We can infer that this line will not get IW specific versions of characters who have not changed or changed significantly in appearance: Loki (Ragnarok), Black Panther (BP), Scarlet Witch (CW), Vision (AoU), Falcon (CW), and Doctor Strange (DS).

I have a feeling they’re basically at their limit in terms of current production capacity. And they’ve become more risk averse after TFA and perhaps AoU figures hanging around retail for a while.

I think that it does not make good business sense for Hot Toys to re-release figures that have identical or similar costumes so I doubt that they will do it. For example, if Dr. Strange is "re-released" but looks very similar to the original release, the market for the v2.0 will be a lot smaller unless there is a significant improvement in quality (which I doubt). I agree that Hot Toys is probably struggling with their production capacity at this point. Thus, I think that they will prefer to produce "newer" figures that more people are likely to buy.

Isn't it funny how we used to talk about how Marvel Studios used to make minor changes to costumes between movies and give us multiple Iron Man, and how in part it probably was to sell new toys (or in our case Hot Toys), and here we are with this movie and the changes with many characters are either so minor or non-existent we probably won't get new figures..

To be fair when the changes are major for some characters it turns people off too. There's a bunch of people that didn't want cap because he lacks the shield or widow because of the blonde hair

Seriously hope Hot Toys makes the Red Skull, that scene was amazing.

Interesting how many people have said here over the last 10 pages or so they would buy a Dr Strange. I put myself on that list as well. I think a lot of people missed the first one, as he was a bit of an unknown character.

Have Marvel actually said anywhere that there will be a Doctor Strange 2 ? I heard he was one of Kevin Feige's favourite characters, so there's a good chance he'll get a Dr Strange 2 at some point done the road.

I just saw the movie tonight and to be honest;

Spoiler

I think he will be in Avengers 4. He was the only one to know all the potential outcomes. He also commented clearly that his job is to protect the time stone. So his decision to simply hand it over was certainly with knowledge of the outcome. That's why I think he'll be in the next film....

So whichever way you look at it I think we will get another chance at Dr Strange if they don't release one for this movie specifically.

yeah Scott Derrickson has said that Nightmare is gonna be the baddie for the sequel and possibly have more of a horror vibe to it.

Both Dr Strange and Scarlet Witch were pretty kick ***, arguably more so than in past movies... I keep hoping we'll see them really unleashed, as in a universe where none of these characters is Thanos' physical equal (not even Thor or Hulk) we need big hitters.

The disappointment to me has been

Spoiler

Vision. His only purpose since Age of Ultron has been to give them another weapon in the fight against Ultron, play a puppy to Wanda, be non existant in the Civil War battle because he is OP, and get nerfed by a magical weapon in Infinity.. Vision and Wanda struggle against the Black Order, only to be saved by Cap, Black Widow and Falcon... It should have been the other way around, lol... But MS seem to love Cap and Widow

 

[ArtDamage]

The difference is I think many people have said they would buy a Dr.Strange, but how many said they would buy another Dr.Strange.

For me he'd have to either be in the Ragnarok costume (unlikely) or come with one hell of a batch of accessories. The one they released is pretty much a perfect figure.

could not agree more

Thought this was a cool photo.

I'd def want a Dr. Strange. I'm also on the newer to collecting and still have yet to start my MCU collection, so I didn't buy the first one since I wasn't into things yet. But if a new one, even a very similar one, went up for preorder, I'd buy. They could give a beaten headsculpt, some more spell effects, or the crazy multi-arm pose somehow would be incredible.

 

[Dankir]

I want them all, I will get them all.

Howard Chan puts on his completed Infinity Gauntlet and snaps his fingers, then half of the wealth of all 1/6 collectors vaporized...

Yep, that is very cool !!

this movie made me love the GotG characters so much more. The interaction with the Avengers/Stark was so good. And the introduction scene with Thor. That must have been hilarious on set.

I just hope so much they improve Drax for GotG 3 or in a second wave of IW characters.

So many great one liners from Drax and Starlord.

"He's a Space pirate"
"Die magic blanket !" when Drax fights against Dr Strange's cape

Need to watch it again !

yeah I’ve thought of this too... we’ve only ever seen Vision really let loose in AOU. I justify him not being able to put up more of a fight in this movie because of the strategic sneak attack by Corvus Glaive ... his weapon injured Vision severely while talking away his ability to phase and I’m assuming change his density in general.

Still, would’ve liked to see how a fully powered Vision would fare.
