Hot Toys Batman V. Superman Dawn of Justice Speculation Thread

[ksteezy]

Those bases are too dope.

 

[Chuck72586]

So what's the point of the logo popping off the base? Any guesses?

 

[snoop101]

To look bad ass of course!

For Superman it is Cleary to hide the peg for the flying arm.

 

[GasparZizou]

To me it looks like all of them detach.

Maybe you can put all bases like the Superman one.

Because the pegs for the arms are all in the same spot in all 3.

I remember hearing he personally edited this one:

 

[GasparZizou]

No, this is the one Snyder directed IIRC.

 

[Medusoid]

So we're getting three Batman figures, but none of Wonder Woman?

This is ********.

 

[GasparZizou]

Of course we're getting WW too.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

We'll likely never see a Lady Sif fig but we will see a WW.

Prime 1 statue 1/4 scale.

I think this is actually 1/2 scale...

My sentiments also.

There's five bases in that picture. Three for Batman and one for Superman. I'd be inclined to say the fifth would be for WW before it would be for Lex, for instance.

I hope these aren't oversized like the last HT Man of Steel figure. Cavill is 5'11 and his fig was bigger than 6'3" Christopher Reeve.

 

[GasparZizou]

Cavill is 5'11, but Superman, the guy he's portraying, isn't.

Because actor height is meaningless. It's the character height. Reeve superman is the same height as Cain and cavill. Superman is superman, as it where. Doesn't matter how tall the actors are. It's like saying frodo should be the same height as the actor...not the character.

Hey look someone else understands it!! Nice post bud

 

[SilverStar17]

They don't make the figures based on the height of the actors, I don't believe. It's based on the height of the character portrayed. Also, I don't think that they make a line for a particular film exactly in scale with the line from another film. For instance, I don't think they use the height of say a predator figure to base how tall Superman should be in comparison to the height of a predator. But then again, if they're all truly 1/6 scale, they theoretically should be.

Also to add, the Reeve figure was an earlier figure than MoS Supes. It seems like recently, HT has been making most of their figures on the larger side. AoU Cap and Thor for instance are slightly taller than any of their previous versions.

I'm not sure what the train of thought is behind the decision making process of the height of the figures. I just enjoy them.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Cavill is actually listed at 6-1. I can accept that (Supes is listed at 6-3 on the DC wikia), but I can't accept a CK/Supes who's nearing 6-6.

Doesn't change the fact that the MOS Superman figure was bigger than the Reeve Superman figure. There's still an inconsistency even if we accept this line of thinking that the character height is what's important. People simply would like consistency. Hot Toys needs to make up its mind what 1:6 scale is and stick to it.
