Hot Toys Making The Matrix?

[DPrime]

Yeah, I'm starting to think this isn't happening, at least not in the immediate future. Too bad, but the fact that they're doing SOMETHING with the license gives me some hope it'll happen eventually, at least...

Im really worried they won't do any figures. Theres gotta be some kinda hold up, or something. I mean why would they show a Sentinel first? What kinda company gets The Matrix License and than makes a Sentinel FIRST?! If they had Neo they would've shown Neo. Thats the money maker. You don't introduce a new franchise with a nameless drone enemy.They didn't start the Wolverine line Sabertooth Something is gong on

maybe there saving the figures for the big show at SDCC

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I still think figures are coming.

 

[KBA]

I do too. You can see that Hot Toys would love to make figures from the Famous Type figure they did.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Exactly. It also makes little sense they would acquire the licence and not make MMS figures from it.

Licenses are typically very specific, and don't grant the licensee the freedom to make whatever it wishes. This could be the same limited license for HT to produce vehicles from the Japanese DVD set. Of course it would be fantastic if 1/6 figs are in the works.

I think he's around 10 years old... although I can't be 100% sure on that. I purchased him about 5 or 6 years ago and he'd already been out for awhile.

And a bit of a shameless plug, just listed him on eBay

Plug on, brother!

And thanks for the replugs

Oh yes, I understand that. Perhaps I could have worded it better. I mean I think it would be highly unlikely HT would pursue a licence that they can only produce vehicles from.

Imagine it would encompass figures.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, I wonder if they are holding back product for SDCC... or if this is it?

Kinda hoping they don't announce figures this week as it would kill my eBay listing

 

[J-Doll]

Galactiboy, do you have any pics of Neo without his shades? Does he look like Keanu? Just curious :^)

 

[galactiboy]

I don't have one handy... but I'll try to remember to take one.

Basically you know its Keanu in context, but if the head was just sitting there you might scratch your head a bit and guess him or David Schwimmer

holy shiznattt !!!!!!!!

 

[galactiboy]

Plug on, brother!

SHAMELESS PLUG

Remember... in your sadness over no new 1/6 Matrix figures from HT, you can still get the original Hot Toys Neo figure

I still can't believe that the Sentinel is only 1/16 scale... I'm sure it will look amazing though.

I want to see the figures man! My guess is that we'll see both Spiderman and Matrix figures soon at the con. I must have figures

That would be a dream.

I don't think so, if we were going to, it'd be at the Sideshow booth and Sideshow's got pretty much every product posted already, no Spidey and just the Sentinel for Matrix.

How do you know? Have you seen pics already? I assumed Hot Toys had their own booth.
