Hot Toys DX Indiana Jones announced + Star Wars teaser

[Mr.E]

Oh boy, this is something to look forward to.

If they ever take on a line that should be in-depth and they don't that's dumb.

OK. But that's different from saying that I am dumb to suggest that Hot Toys made decisions not to finish lines in the past due to business considerations. Of course it would make sense to mine the Star Wars franchise for all it's worth. That is a cash cow.

We would all like more Watchmen, but they didn't do more because they weren't getting enough business with Spectre and Comedian. I would love more Predator, as well, but not if they aren't going to get the likenesses (which apparently, they were unwilling to shell out the money for; and maybe Billy's sales contributed to their unwillingness to expand that line, too). But that doesn't mean that they should have finished those lines to appease me.

I'm not saying Hot Toys has made the best decisions in terms of licenses or in terms of the order of releases (Rorschach should have been first). But you don't keep betting on a losing hand.

 

[SilentSurfer]

.......

Ah, yes, thank you.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I wonder if we'll actually get a tease pic of the figure on the 24th or just the official announcement of the license?

 

[MarfMaster]

I just hope the belts and holsters suck

They might not suck as bad as Sideshow's, but I doubt they'll top your quality and accuracy

The announcement was this morning ( I think). I am hoping for the specs

 

[Wor-Gar]

What if its just this with moveable eyes....

 

[Indiana Fett]

He will be on display at the show I'd wager.

It says unveiled so I would say that the prototype is ready for us to see.

 

[Darth Madden]

I hope it doesn't come out until I have a job so I can get one and not have to pay $250 on ebay for it since it seems like a LOT of people want this.

Ah the fine print. Good catch......

I think $250.00 is about what we're going to be paying period, never mind ebay.

 

[Wanderer]

I'm pretty sure this could be a similar feeling to getting anally violated...Hot Toys has conquered this Market hands down now.
One version of Indy and one of Darth Vader, maybe Boba Fett and that's me happy

That's what I've been saying since last night. Normal DXs run just sub $200. Add in LFL and SSC licensing and you're easily looking at $250.

UGH... that could hurt.

 

[Customikey]

Go ahead HT. Announce a full line of figures from Tim Burton's Batman movies. I can take it.

 

[Something Sexy]

What is Batman?

 

[Customikey]

What is Batman?

Ha.

I'm just gonna order through Sideshow and Flexpay it if I can.

I meant it's dumb to say quitting a line was a good thing. Not that you are. My bad. If the lines not selling I agree it makes sense but hard to gauge after just a few figures.

That being said I don't think this is anything more than a couple figures here and there that SS wants HT to handle. People are going WAY overboard.
