Hot Toys Announce "The Expendables 2" License!

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I wouldn't say it bombed. It was number #1 on opening day doing over 11 million. Not far off of the first movies earnings.

29 million this weekend ain't bad for this kinda movie imo. Outperformed ParaNorman and knocked Bourne off.

Does a film need to make a Billion to be worthy of figures these days

 

[Platty]

Just saw it, awesome!

I don't have high hopes for more figures though. I'm gonna turn my transporter into a Lee Christmas.

For hot toys to make the whole team I would say yes. A Billion and better.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

So much for the whole "striking while the iron is hot" bollocks

With the price of the latest Wolverine figure I'm afraid this figure will be around the same if not higher.

Would have picked it up for under $200 but sadly this won't be the case I'm sure.

 

[quiggle]

does Hot Toys even recoup the costs of the license by just selling a Barney figure?

I'm only going to buy this figure if a set of hands has brass knuckles.

I loved the film but i thought Gunner ( Dolph ) was by far the best character they gave him some great comedic moments.They should at least make Gunner and Christmas.

 

[banthafett]

^Agree. Besides a Statham, Dolph would be awesome. I dont think people in the US realise how popular Dolph really is. Dolph and Statham would be huge sellers. They would sell more than this boring release of Sly.

Nice to see a fan of David Lynch here,i am a huge fan myself

We will only get Sly from this license,don't expect anything else.I always wanted a Dolph and Randy Couture but we know HT got the rights for Statham and Jet Li so those would happen first.

I was right the last time when i said HT won't bother if they put the license on hold after Barney.

 

[HTfreak2012]

I loved the movie, all the one liners brought back memories. I really hope HT makes the team, I would love to have them all to display.

 

[quiggle]

if they made the others and they look like the new Wolverine figure then maybe we are better off not having them made.

 

[banthafett]

^Great point quiggle, but it's alot more than just Wolverine, the last handfull have been underwhelming.

 

[irok84]

Is there a release date coming soon?? I want a Stallone figure. Seeing that I highly doubt they will remake any Rocky ones. My name is Rocky and I've always wanted a kick a$$ ROCKY figure.

 

[Johnny Utah]

DX figures of both Rocky and Rambo were confirmed by Howard a few months ago. When they see release is anyone's guess.

 

[irok84]

Thanks for the Info JohnnyUtah.

I am missing all these announcements. Someone posted Howard confirmed The Wolverine and IM3 license now a Dx Rocky and Rambo. I need to come out from under the rock

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

^ mentioned them saying they'll be exploited is all, no official announcements, I.E picture with MMS logos saying "coming soon"

 

[the whale]

I'm hoping the delay is because Hot Toys doesnt have the rights to everyone yet....hopefully soon

More like the delay is because they are too busy milking the Iron Man and Avengers licenses to give a **** about anything else.

You forgot about Batman.
