Hot Toys Announce "The Expendables 2" License!

[quiggle]

i still think in the end the reason why the line was probably shelved is because the majority of collectors frowned upon buying Barney 2. because if they release all of them for two then they will have to recycle the line again for three and no one will buy anything for three based on some of the collectors fascist attitudes about Barney 2. so some of you should stop blaming hot toys and look in the mirror instead.

The E2 Barney hasn't even been officially announced yet.

Semantics.

Saying "i'm gonna give you this", is the exact same as "i promise i'm going to give you this"

The word is just an unspoken prefix that doesn't need to be said as it's fully implied

Don't waste your breath trying to reason with that guy. He just trolls for arguments.

vs. your trolling out of idiocy? There's not a single thing I've stated that isn't true.

I could care less who is correct. I read these treads for updates and useful information and grow tired of seeing you take a giant poop on every thread you enter. You are a virus and infect everything you interact with.
That is all.

Yet you're in here defending the slow kids and huffing it like a junky. A poop-huffing junky. Think about that.

Good grief. Speculation about speculation, all wrapped in a guess. There's no reason to think the line has been "shelved" -- much less reason to guess why it would be shelved if it were ... which, so far, it isn't.

Also -- what wild-ass definition are you using for the word 'fascist'? I can't even think of a "fascist attitude" that could be had about a toy.

Never has so much been said by so many with so little to say.

As I'd said earlier, HT is smart to capitalize off of the ADD collectors who'll be picking up the Avengers and Batman pieces while the getting is good. Fans of this movie are mostly so for nostalgia's sake and won't be going anywhere. Someone who'd buy a Stallone, Norris, Van Damme or Schwarzenegger figure now, will still be willing to purchase one in a year as has been proven time and again with these types of releases. Therefore it's smart of HT to utilize the hype and sell the ADD collectors their superheroes and give us our childhood heroes once the comic book movie momentum dies down. We won't be going anywhere.

No reason to assume the line has been shelved when there was figure shown two months ago. It's the line beyond that one figure which is in question considering the amount for EXP1.

Finally got a chance to see the movie yesterday and I gotta say while I enjoyed the first, I loved the second.

I'll get Barney for sure now as I cancelled the first due to other priorities at the time.
It would be a shame to not at least get the core team.

Kitbashed Expendables in the meantime.
Since Stallone was done already for Expendables, can people list licensed or other heads available for the main characters, and if there are a few different sculpts which one you think is best?
I'll give a few examples. Most are sculpts when the actors were much younger though.
There is the Triad Jet Li.
Several Sideshow/Hot Toys Arnolds
GI Joe Street Fighter Van Damme
Soldier Story Steve Austin
Headplay Dolph
Numerous Jason Statham TTL version for example
Randy Couture wrestling head that is 1/6 w neck issues
Hot Toys Whiplash Mickey Rourke
I have several Bruce Willis, none that good.
No Chuck Norris?
Have there been any Hale Caesar Terry Crews sculpts in 1/6?
Can you post a screen shot from Expendables 1 or 2, or your customs, thoughts, feedback as far as outfit, signature weapons, accessories.

 

[actiontrooper]

Has anyone seen this sculpt painted?
I don't see the resemblance to Terry Crews in the unpainted sculpt, especially the mouth area.

I figured this or Xavier would've been up this or last week, they're the only remaining fully developed ones that debuted at Ani-Com yet to pre-order.

Perhaps they are sculpting a new head due to the reception of reusing the EXP1 head

That just looks like a recast of the current Kaustic Plastik sculpt

What BM said. Just a recast. And for a measly $30 more than what that's priced at, you can have it already painted as well as get a fantastic 1/6 Muscle body to go with it.

The smaller Barney looks like a new sculpt.

I don't have a Stallone figure in my collection so I'm in for this one ...And hopefully the rest will follow
