Hot Toys DX Indiana Jones announced + Star Wars teaser

[karamazov80]

Oh yeah. Not finishing a line is good business? that's just dumb.

Yeah, it would have made lots of sense to throw more money down the toilet creating and producing Watchmen, Planet of the Apes, Mars Attacks, and Spirit. How about more Predator or Alien guys that go on clearance because they have to disguise likenesses?

Which lines should Hot Toys have continued pursuing but failed to, exactly? People have tried to turn Hot Toys into a caricature, and I'm not entirely sure why. Terminator, Iron Man, Resident Evil, Rambo, Dark Knight, and Aliens all got a fair number of releases, and show what happens when you have a successful line that actually sells. They don't try to scrape the bottom of the barrel with lesser characters it isn't worth their while to produce or obtain likenesses for, but are you gonna criticize them for that?

--edit: And clones don't count, btw. Pumping out 50 repaints in a year ain't a noteworthy accomplishment, IMO.--

Because Sideshow can only half ass it before they quit and hand over all of their licenses to Hot Toys.

You must be happy to finally have something to say again.

I almost bought a Royce body last night, AND two Indys from eBay! Bullet dodged. This is big, Toy Anxiety is going to order a ____ ton.

I actually bought a Royce body yesterday for a TOD custom, using the Arnie Kim head.
I feel I may be selling quite a lot of items soon....

Again, anybody remotely familiar with HT would recognize that this is a DX announcement, NOT an MMS.

It appears to be both an MMS AND a DX!

Excitement leads to exhaustion.... exhaustion leads to boredom... boredom leads to bad habits....

Boo.

I was about to do the same thing...with a Trevor Grove head. I had been mulling over this for months.

That's because I stopped collecting all of the s***** Sideshow figures.

I wouldn't sell that body just yet, it might come in handy. This Indy may only come on a truetype.

Holy crap!

I'm perfectly happy with my Sideshow Raiders Indy, but I know I'll cave and get this too.

Yeah, I don't plan on getting rid of my SS Indy. But will definitely pick up the Hot Toy one.

Then why are you trolling a Sideshow fan site?

THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH Hot Toys!!! DAMN RIGHT IT IS...

 

[toylion]

Arnie Kim made an Indy where his hair was matted down and the hat was removable. They may go this route but i hope they give him pers eyes and just have the sculpt similar to Sideshows. It wouldn't suprise me either if they call on Trev to knock out a Indy sculpt and then tweek it a bit.

Enterbay's Kato came with two hair styles to be able to wear the hat. Maybe Hot Toys will do something like that.

Hot Toys hardly ever finish a line either

 

[rebelpig]

Anyway I've made my mind up, FENG should do this sculpt, or hopefully has done. I've loved his work on Ford likenesses for years now.

 

[kl241]

Hot Toys hardly ever finish a line either

I'd rather have 1 Hot Toys DX Indy than 8 half-assed quality Sideshow ones.

 

[Darkseed]

Why all the HT vs SS? SS and HT can co-exist for all types of collector's. Enjoy what ya like and move on...

 

[karamazov80]

Worst part about it is how it damaged their business beyond repair. How dumb are they not to finish every line they start?

 

[Platty]

Hot Toys are unstoppable I think we're just going to see more and more unexpected licences from them, even if other companies already have it. They get stronger and stronger as the years go by.

If they are doing Star wars, let's hope they do from the first film to the last, it means I can get a grail figure in Episode 1 Obi
