Wooksters diary 17/11/09

Only been in HK a few hours, the rain is relentless today, waiting for the mist to lift in Kowloon harbour, took the ferry into the city.

No one seems to have any answers for me (must investigate learning Chinese). Got a message from a red headed kid (unusual in China), scrawled on a piece of paper- 'Club Obi Wan'.
Gospel was already there, waiting in a dimly lit booth; I sat in the next booth along. He/she was using a voice changer again, but told me I was barking in the wrong continent. It seems Mr Warner is till back home, and he's pulling the strings. When I looked round he/she was gone but had left a Smiley badge on the table, I put it on, Blake would have been proud.
Out on the street I saw a the red headed kid wearing Chuck T's with a Smiley on the side, seemed like too much of a coincidence so I followed, lead me to an internet cafe, he logged in, then I was distracted by a guy slurping noodles... remembered I hadn't eaten for 48 hours, no local currency though. I looked back to the kid but he was gone. Hurried over and sat in his seat, his last page visited was still open...Facebook, on the Smiley page... that’s when it all went dark...


Stay tuned!

so are u actually in hong kong right now? cool! if so, i'm sure you're gonna check out the mongkok district, where toy hunters and lotsa other collectibles stores are located. wanchai too.

The funny thing is if Hot Toys didn't put him on a rubber muscle body, he would be less film accurate!

Yeah, that's basically what I was sayin'. People were fussing about it being on a rubber body suit, and the irony is that he was in the film itself.

Bring it on, Hot Toys.

Well, how much of Dean's body did the rubber prosthetic cover? It's not a single one-piece suit is it? I bet it didn't cover the elbows.

Chest, Back, Arms. Basically the whole torso (aside from head and hands, obviously).

I wish... no I was merrily leading you up the garden path, metaphorically speaking. Sadly this was all written sitting at work... but rest assured I'm working on the Smiley case!

 

[Centrocal]

Still, we gotta get someone out there to print up some stickers. I like the idea of clear plastic with just the happy face , no circle, we could stick over the yellow button. I would pay for it I dont care

book = over-rated.
film = under-rated.

NEVER!

oh, ok.

hey while you're out doing your detective work, couldja try n find out if there are any plans to make a doc manhattan?

just from an engineering point of view, i'd like to see ht tackle it. well, not manhattan's "tackle" per se, but a blue, translucent muscle body that has a light-up feature from inside to give him that eerie glow. now that would be awesome...

I'm sure a decal will make its way out there if Hot Toys doesn't do it themselves. Don't forget a clear decal with two dots and a third crescent isn't a copyright... just when it is on a yellow circle.

Who let this clown in here?

I'm sure it will be stunning. Sadly, the frank and beans will be at Warner Bros. discretion...

Sneaky. I like that idea. Put me down for one if this happens. Maybe Evilface (ironic since smiley face is the problem) can hook us up with decals? Or maybe even Monkey Depot? They did the Storm Shadow tattoo decals.

If we aren't getting a smiley face, I doubt we'll see the Doc's crown jewels either. Frankly I wouldn't display him in the buff ever so it wouldn't bother me if he was just in his undies.

I want Dr. Manhattan to be flapping in the wind. Warner owns is wiener, so I think there is a chance we'll at least see a nekkid version in Hong Kong.

yo' mama, fool.

 

[Centrocal]

Dr. Manhattan's wiener is very stubborn, it doesn't give out its likeness rights for any of the merchandise ..............It has a very over inflated ego.......Never signs any autographs....

 

[robbiethepainter]

the happy face decal is really easy. They sell water slide decal sheet that you can run through your printer. Simple print to scale and add. If it ends up not coming with the faces, I will take it upon my self to make them and give them to anyone that wants one. I bet I could make enough out of a single pack for everyone that buys this figure on this board. Those happy faces are pretty small. I would do that because I care.

[galactiboy]

Have to agree... Dr Manhattan needs to come with a blue dong; just isn't the same w/o the mini-doc

And for the more prudish customers you could include his flying V undies; win-win-wiener

As for the Comedian, the more I see the figure the more I know I'm gonna have to buy him. HT really seems to have gotten him right. And if the missing smileys are the worst part of the production figure I'm confident I can work around that.

 

[karamazov80]

I can't believe anyone would want to pose a Doc Manhattan with dong hanging in their collection.




Seriously?
