Hot Toys Announce "The Expendables 2" License!

[a-dev]

Wolverine got a new head
Predator 2 got a new head
T800 got a new head

Many are regretting the above though, saying that the old ones were better. I don't disagree based on what we've seen so far.

Ain't that the truth.

It's pretty damn ridiculous. I think we all assumed the head at ani-com was a placeholder, and now these pics pretty much confirmed the death if this line, if they won't even bother to do a new head for Barney then it'sp retty much 100% there'll be no more figures

Thor got a new head
Cap got a two new heads
Black widow got a new head
Iron man got a new head
Batman got a new head
Joker got two new heads
Wolverine got a new head
Predator 2 got a new head
T800 got a new head

Exp fans got shafted

Hell even that stupid Chitauri thing gets TWO heads

It's too early to start running for the hills on the supposed "unchanged" sculpt.
Since this is some sort of early ad from a magazine or something. It's easy to assume it's not final

I'll offer up an example. Back when the Resident Evil 5 figures were coming out, a feature showing pictures of Chris and Sheva popped up in a magazine. Chris was shown on the original small muscle body. Everyone freaked "oh! the body is too small! this line will suck!" yadda yadda, but when the official specs and pics came out, Chris was on the Dutch/Arnold body. Everyone calmed down...and all was well. (well except the anti-rubber body people )

So I say, relax.

You do realize, HT is well known for last minute tweaks, right? This is up to and including the window between preorder and release. Aside from that, your tittybaby rant about this being the end of the line is ridiculous. Maybe for the ADD ********* collectors whose interests and fanaticism change with the frequency of a baby's poopy diapers, but for the majority, any and every character in this film is legendary in their own right, and the nostalgic collectors who the films and everything to do with them are aimed at, won't be going anywhere.

This too.

Not that I think the initial sculpts are unimproveable. I just don't think they succeeded in doing so unfortunately.

 

[thenammagazine]

Just cut to the chase

Yes, like you, he's full of ****.

Agreed. About 80% of any figure can always be improved so most the time i'm all for it. They really seem to be shooting themselves in the foot though. Wasting energy on re-releases and tying up potential new licenses is one thing but delivering an inferior product is lame.

Since this is some sort of early ad from a magazine or something. It's easy to assume it's not final .

The reason i find it likely this is sculpt is because those magazine pics look like the official product pics HT will be using, hence no new sculpt unless there's a disclaimer saying they're in the process of sculpting one.

And from experience, if they aren't compelled to make a new head the chances of other characters went from 50% to 10%

Things change. Alice is a perfect example. So is Superman.

Well they always have a disclaimer on their pics informing us that it's a prototype and may not be final.

Whatever happens i imagine it'll be soon now

maybe Hot Toys desserted the line to punish some of you for jumping ship giving business to Enterbay with Rambo III?

Lionsgate Home Entertainment has just announced the Blu-ray release of The Expendables 2, which comes with possibly the world's first 11.1-channel DTS Neo:X soundtrack. The Blu-ray Disc is also bundled with DVD and digital copies of the movie, starring Sylvester Stallone and other famous action stars.

DTS Neo:X is supposed to deliver a more immersive movie-viewing experience using extra front-height and "wide" speakers. The height speakers are designed to add a vertical dimension to the overall sound field, while their wide counterparts further expand the soundstage according to DTS. DTS Neo:X is compatible with existing 5.1- and 7.1-channel sound formats, which are then upconverted to 11.1 channels.

 

[thenammagazine]

WTF does that have to do with HT's figures, dingus?

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Damn, thought there was news

Damn, thought there was news

No that would be the Art Figures Soldier of Fortune thread. They are picking up the ball Hot Toys obviously dropped.
