Hot Toys 2013 Teaser

[Buttmunch]

Robo was before my day and ED has always been way too much and defective so I'm excited for the new version and Arkham City for sure as it's w/o question the definitive Batman for me. I definately want a Mark Hammil Joker, and if they make her, a Catwoman.

HT has already said they hate Catwoman but are working on Harley (barely convinced themselves to make Cathaway apparently). It will probably just be Batman, Joker, and Harley in this line.

 

[Voorhees27]

When you can make profits with your bread and butter licenses you're going to run with that all day. Iron Man, Batman, etc.
It's not good business to go out and launch a bunch of new lines at once. That's why we only see a few new licenses. Sorry, but HT is a for profit business.

And there's nothing wrong with that. Just stop mentioning those new licenses and then walk away from them for what seems an eternity.

Eg. T1, BTTF, Rocky, Rambo, etc.

 

[karamazov80]

Well we're all clamoring for Prometheus figures of course. Good thing HT didn't cancel that one.

 

[Buttmunch]

So has anyone figured out what is between the ED and Iron Man armor? That's the one figure I haven't seen us ID definitively yet.

 

[Voorhees27]

Oh, yeah. . .if my one experience with EB wasn't such a let-down, I might be with you on that.

MIB? Yeah I hear ya.

 

[Ajkhunter]

Not sure if someone already mentioned it but If HT are going to stay with those big money licenses we better see a Batman Begins Ra's Al Ghul!

 

[Deckard]

HT has already said they hate Catwoman but are working on Harley (barely convinced themselves to make Cathaway apparently). It will probably just be Batman, Joker, and Harley in this line.

Yea I know, thats unfortunate because her AC design is brilliant and no ones got it quite right. The DC Direct figure is a complete piece of trash and the Kai Arts botched her face.

The new Kai Arts Harley Quinn looks pretty amazing though.

 

[DiFabio]

The only things that interest me and look cool are Bruce Banner, 1/6 Batsignal, a possible 1/6 endo improved and the ED-209.


Don't care about the rest. Would have rather seen Police Shootout Arnold from T1 (Kyle too if they plan on doing that), Robocop and some Batman Returns.

 

[Deckard]

MIB? Yeah I hear ya.

I didn't follow this, but the problem was the bodies yes? I'm planning on buying a Django but if I'll have to mod anything but the body I'm out.

Thats what I'm still wondering, perhaps a blue jacket with a fur collar.

Go say that on the HT Prometheus thread. Those guys will internet murder you.

Robo was before my day and ED has always been way too much and defective so I'm excited for the new version and Arkham City for sure as it's w/o question the definitive Batman for me. I definately want a Mark Hammil Joker, and if they make her, a Catwoman. Plus we're finally getting a new 1/6 endo so it's not all bad.

The Hamill Joker is a nice piece to get I agree.

My EB experience was with the 1/4 scale Batman, and it had multiple QC issues and just didn't feel like the high quality piece we paid for. Looks great though, after you've glued together the broken pieces, modified the ill-fitting belt, and manage to get the cape attached in a way that looks decent.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

wow....I completely had a nerdgasm from this teaser photo....I'm loving all of it....bring them on HT's....and I'll def get the Rock and SS

and don't forget that you can always just send them a bunch emails asking for a refund since it has so many issues only for them to completely ignore you and then you can open up a claim w/paypal and win your figure for free...

You'll be modding everything since their QC is crap.

 

[Buttmunch]

But what is up with releasing this today? Seems like New Years Day would have been the time to do this. Someone forget to look at the calendar?

 

[EXOTICLEX]

Anybody identify the mystery figure yet? One behind ED209? Snake Plissken?

 

[Buttmunch]

Its definitely not Snake

 

[Rotfish]

What about the Batman Returns figures? Where's Catwoman (I could give a flying ____ if they "hate" her, she needs to happen) and Penguin?
