Hot Toys Announce Batman Returns License

[HeubertMichael]

Not sure what it is about SMG but as other celebrity crushes have come and gone for me over the years she's always remained. She's 37 and I still think she's quite the adorable hottie.

And it really, really pains me that we've never gotten a truly good 1/6 version of her. The best likeness ever done was the Sideshow PF (which I have) but none of the 1/6 stuff is any good at all. I keep hoping Trevor Grove will unveil an SMG custom someday along the lines of the excellent Bryan Cranston headsculpt he produced, or maybe some other very talented sculptor on this board will take a crack at her. Or Hot Toys could always pick up the Buffy license...though the impression I've always gotten is that Buffy never really caught on in Asia.

I think the problem was SMG herself wanted an idealized version of herself. I'm sure I read that somewhere. SMG seems to feel insecure about her nose in particular, that she wanted the sculptors not to copy it accurately for the figures and statues that came out. I believe she's not the only celebrity with this kind of issue.

I always loved her nose. It was maybe slightly unusual but not in a bad way.

 

[melkorjunior]

I love her nose too. It makes SMG who she is. And at least I have the Sideshow PF--it's a very nice likeness, though the paintjob is rather basic.

The lack of good SMG 1/6 figures is part of the reason why Selina Kyle is now the Slayer on my monster shelf.

 

[HeubertMichael]

Yeah, I had a big crush on SMG in the late 90's, and her nose was part of what made her beauty outstanding to me. But hey, some people just don't realize how beautiful they really are, "imperfections" and all.

Kid batfan was also crushin' on Buffy back in the day. Better question would be: who wasn't?

 

[Johnny Utah]

She was THE girl to crush on during Buffy seasons 2 and 3.

 

[a-dev]

What the heck, not like there's anything Batman Returns-related to talk about, lets carry this on.

Yeah I fancied her most in season 2, I liked her hair that year. Same with Jennifer Aniston in Friends for that matter. After that they both started going completely straight with their hair which I wasn't such a fan of.

Charisma Carpenter was also quite hot and was still the last time I saw her in something.

I never really thought there was anything wrong with her nose. I still think she's attractive too.

But, SMG < Jennifer Love Hewitt

 

[Lakhota]

I worked with SMG, she spent most of her time in her trailer . She is nice looking in person and charming she wanted to quit the show to pursue her movie career, which screwed most of us out of jobs. I was one of the Stunt Bringers for the last season

1000% in agreement with you there. I also preferred Willow to Buffy as well, though.

Why do people have to abbreviate everything? Typing someones name take such amount of effort nowadays?

 

[DiFabio]

Because, Sub-Machine Gun is too long. It's better to condense it to SMG.

 

[vodoun]

People are stuck in the mindset of 140 characters?

What are trying to get at, vd?

 

[Wor-Gar]

It's better to condense it to SMG.

Why are you talking about Sarah Michelle Gellar?

 

[DiFabio]

Hey, don't look at me.

 

[vodoun]

I thought we were talking about Sub-Machine Gun's! Hence he loved the shape of the nose.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Aren't some people terribly allergic to SMG in Chinese food?

 

[melkorjunior]

Lakhota, my jealousy that you got to actually work with Sarah Michelle Gellar every day is hotter than a thousand suns. A teaspoon of my jealousy would be so heavy that it would fall all the way through the planet and out the other side.

I'm glad to hear you found her charming--there have been occasional stories that she could be rude to people. (Sorry you lost a job, too.)
