Hot Toys Missing Characters from Current Lines

[Kibishii]

I don't think this is a repeat thread, but I was at Disney yesterday and got to thinking about all of the missing characters from CURRENT Hot Toys lines. This is NOT a new line or random character wishlist. This is a list of important characters from current Hot Toys lines that are missing. Here is my list:

1. Captain Barbossa (PotC)- seriously? Barbossa is the 2nd most important character next to Jack. Considering the other characters made, no Barbossa is a shame and a serious screw up on HT part. Jack w/out Barbossa is like Batman w/out Joker or Dutch w/out Predator.
2. Ra's al Ghul (Batman Begins)- This is currently my #1 want and I can't figure out why Hot Toys hasn't made him considering that Liam usually isn't greedy with his likeness.
3. Sabretooth (Wolverine Origins)- another mind boggler considering the popularity of the Wolverine figure.
4. Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Venom, and Sandman (Spiderman movies)- Lame New Goblin, but none of the villains people care about?
5. Dillon, Blaine, Hawkins, Mac, Poncho (Predator 1)- Hot Toys cash cow left incomplete...
6. Jill Valentine STARS (Resident Evil)- I think this is every RE fans number #1 want.
7. John Connor (Terminator 2)- 'Present' version, not the future
8. Kyle Reese (Terminator 1)- We get a cheesy future version but not the character from the movie?
9. Michael Corleone (Godfather)-considering he was the main character for 1/2 the movies, I am surprised HT didn't capitalize on cultural popularity.
10. Watchmen missing characters- Personally, I don't care about the line and I didn't like the movie. But HT never making Rorschach seems like a financial blunder.

Re: Hot Toys Missing Characters

Good list. I'll only speak about the ones that I'm interested in.

Ra's Al Ghul definitely, conspicious by his absence in the Batman line. However I'm sure he'll happen and probably good that its taken this long so as the figure will turn out better (in theory).

The other P1 soldiers - They would have been definite buys but now I don't think they'll happen at all. Thats why I'm selling Billy and only keeping Dutch in my collection. I personally see no point in having just one of the non-Arnie team members if I can't have the rest of them. Too much trouble to customise so I never went there.

Terminator - well theres a few. Most obviously the BD versions of the T-800 from each film however apparently Stanlore has seen prototype pics of the head from a future Terminator 2 BD T-800. Theres also Kyle Reese who would seem a great candidate to make. And NECA are doing it so I don't see why HT can't. Less likely but much wanted by the hardcore fans are John Connor and T1 Sarah.

Hot Toys is also missing Jason Statham / Lee Christmas of The Expendables (2008) movie! He was every bit instrumental to the ticket sales as Stallone, and they were partners in the movie. Why make only Sly?

Iron Man, mark 8, 9, 10 11, 12, nth.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

1. Tron Legacy - Clu, Quorra
2. Watchmen - all remaining
3. Sucker Punch - 3 remaining team members
4. Green Lantern - Hal Jordan, Sinestro
5. Expendables - Gunner Jensen
6. POTC - Barbossa, Blackbeard
7. Spider-Man - Doc Ock
8. Blade 2 - Nomak
9. Avater - Neytiri, Quaritch

Really hope we don't have to ad XMFC Magneto to those in this thread.

 

[Buttmunch]

Michael Corlenoe hasn't happened and won't ever happen because Al Pacino signed his likeness rights exclusively to Scarface. So any Al Pacino figures made will all be Scarface.

I do think Sabertooth and Rorschach were serious WTFs though. Watchman should have STARTED with Ror and Sabertooth was the logical second figure in the Wolverine line

And considering Barbossa is one of the few PotC characters in every film, he should have been done too, but no we get Angelica instead :

Not a Platoon fan, but Elias is a gaping hole in that 2-man line-up.

Not a Suckerpunch fan either, but Babydoll and Amber and safe to say that's the end of that line.

Wow, great bit of information that I had no clue about.

Iron Man, mark 8, 9, 10 11, 12, nth.

funny considering that these (even though they don't exist) probably have a better chance of being made...

1. Tron Legacy - Clu, Quorra
3. Sucker Punch - 3 remaining team members
4. Green Lantern - Hal Jordan, Sinestro
5. Expendables - Gunner Jensen
6. POTC - Barbossa, Blackbeard
7. Spider-Man - Doc Ock
8. Blade 2 - Nomak
9. Avater - Neytiri, Quaritch

1. Tron Legacy- Do you think these characters would sell? I don't even know who they are.
3. Sucker Punch- Will have to watch the sales of Amber
4. Green Lantern- Not a current license... flat-lined before it got off the ground.
5. Expendables- I think there were alot of missing characters from the film, not sure what HT was thinking on this one either.
7. Spider-Man 2- I don't think HT has this license, do they? I thought they only had SM3.
9. Avatar- Neytiri definitely, but HT took so damn long making the initial character...

 

[Buttmunch]

HT has an ALL MARVEL FILMS license, no matter what studio owns them. That is why X3 Wolverine came out of the blue. They already had the license via their master license. So we could get Daredevil or Doc Ock at any time if they so choose. Avengers and X-men 1st class announcements were just formalities really. Anything with Marvel attached to it is fair game.

1. To TRON fans, certainly

3. Shouldn't be so considering how they aren't waiting to see how well the Tumbler sells before announcing all the subsequent vehicles. I & others are waiting on Amber until we know if there'll be more or not

4. Which makes it the license with the most missing characters, not even one figure

 

[batfan08]

Ra's Al Ghul and Clark Kent.

Wookster or whatever his name is I think said in the Blitzway Scarface thread that Blitzway's next figure, which he'd seen, was Pacino but wasn't Scarface. I could be misremembering though, might even have been a dream I had...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Anyone to go with Superman.

Anyone to go with Indiana Jones.

Anyone to go with new Spiderman (not that I care)

Anyone to go with Jake Sulley (not that I care)

Anyone to go with T1 T-800.

Pretty sure what Wookster said was "Al Pacino fans will be happy". Meaning that instead of actually making Al Pacino as Big Boy Caprice, they've decided not to:

The fact that HT announced Elias & then didn't bother making him was an even bigger kick the teeth
