Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Avengers: AoU - Scarlet Witch Figure discussion

I think SW is going to be sick in the movie and personally would love a figure of her. That said, she doesn't look like anything special, hopefully one of the aftermarket companies will make a head and a clothing set or something sort of like that Ra's Al Ghul set that was very reasonably priced.

Yeah its an uninteresting costume but I'd still buy her....
but apparently she gets an avengers outfit too
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Avengers: AoU - Scarlet Witch Figure discussion

I remember reading in an interview that Olsen was happy about the costume they had planned for her, as it wasn't like the comics and worked well for the character for someone around today. I'll see if I can find the quote! (Don't ask why I didn't just look for the quote first and post it instead of all this. :lol)

“We’ve done some costume stuff, yeah! My favourite piece is my secrecy cloak that prevents anyone from seeing what I’m wearing. There’s a hood, and a robe – it protects the image!”

"I don’t think Joss ever would have hired me, honestly, if he wanted me to wear those outfits; I am not a professional athlete and nor am I a model. Wearing those costumes wouldn’t be fun for anyone who wasn’t those things. He already had a different idea. It respects and involves the comic-book character but it’s different, more rooted. It’s for someone today.” “Well, if someone walked around wearing what she wore in the comics, people would stop and say, ‘What the hell… she thinks she’s a superhero!’"

So it looks like even if she does get a costume change down the line, she'll probably never wear the exact same outfit that everyone who reads comics knows about. Personally, I think that's fine, and I'm a fan of the outfit she's wearing in AoU! I'm sure she'll get an outfit upgrade for future films, and MAYBE even this one (though I'd probably lean towards the former) but they'll probably always be more functional and worked around how Scarlet Witch's character is perceived in the MCU.
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Avengers: AoU - Scarlet Witch Figure discussion

I think she was talking about a robe/hood to hide her actual costume from photographers.
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Avengers: AoU - Scarlet Witch Figure discussion

Ah, good point! :lol That's probably the secrecy cloak she's referring too!

But the second part is in terms of the comic book image people have for Scarlet Witch, and it doesn't seem like that'll transfer over to the MCU. I'm sure we'll get some other rendition of an outfit for her, but I think it'll be a fresh take on the design...likely more modernized! I'm excited either way!

Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Avengers: AoU - Scarlet Witch Figure discussion

I just suddenly realized that I hope she comes with different headsculpt with different facial expressions as the Hot Toys Blank Stare - HTBS (TM) will not work with all her gesturing in the film...It would be really weird to have all the different gestures but with a blank stare...

Oh well, doesn't really matter to me as I have no budget for her anyway...

Besides...
She will get a uniform at the end and she will be in Civil War...
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS - Avengers: AoU - Scarlet Witch Figure discussion

I wonder which look HT will go with. :dunno

I am sure it will be the black dress outfit. Hopefully they make her new outfit for Captain America 3. I don't think they will reinvent her outfit for that film since she wore it only one scene in Age of Ultron.

That's what I was thinking. It's a little boring, but hey, it's an Elizabeth Olsen figure. :woo
