Re: Hot Toys-MMS: X-Men 1st Class

13 ain't happening You'd be lucky to see more than 2 figures from this line. The Dark Knight has probably been their most 'complete' line to date. HT NEVER finished a line. Nevah!

Come on guys 2 figures that is not even good business. The can easily stretch the yellow suits with new head sculpts to fit the the 6 X men, albeit Beast and Mystic will need the most work. The Hell fire club will be easier dudes in suits except for Emma, who could end up like the black widow but in white. That leaves Azazel put him in a suit and paint him red and slap a tail on him how did the do it for Hell boy.

But you are right the such when to comes to completing a line unless the can flex what the already have i.e. Iron Man. What is that Iron man 5 armors and one villain one chick 7 figures in total. Well its all subject to what makes good business.

Just saw this tonight with the lady and we both loved it. I am definitely interested in a Fassbender Magneto and a McAvoy Prof. Charles X! Excellent movie, its nice to see that this series cannot get boring.

BTW Kevin Bacon was awesome haha

Great movie.... A 1:1 replica helmet and 1:6 Magneto would do it for me.....

No doubt. Imagine this highly unlikely scenario…

KING OF THE WORLD
So, last weekend I built this groovy new 6-D outer-space camera in my underwater garage. I want Matthew Vaughn to use it for T3 with Eddie Furlong and a CGI mo-cap Arnold.

HOLLYWOOD EXECUTIVE
But Jimmy, we already made Terminator 3. And 4! Huge hits, Baby! Boffo!

KING OF THE WORLD
*stares back blankly*

HOLLYWOOD EXECUTIVE
Arnold was in the 3rd one! We even put Batman and your buddy Jake Avatar in the 4th! Everyone loves Batman, right?

KING OF THE WORLD
...So I just built this new 6-D outer-space camera in my underwater garage. I wanna use it to make T3 with Eddie Furlong and a CGI mo-cap Arnold.

HOLLYWOOD EXECUTIVE
Here's a check 300 million. Call us when you're done.

…Would any of us begrudge Mr. Executive? Not for one second (and that's coming from someone who kinda liked T3). I just hope everyone can take a breath, relax, and move happily on in the reclaimed X-Universe.

Bring on that flight suit Magneto, HT!

Only 300 Million? "King of the World" will probably be the first guy to direct a billion dollar budgeted movie. He was the first one over 100 million and Avatar was almost half a billion by some reports. We would all see that though!



I really think Charles and Magneto will be the two figures we see. Shaw if they make a third. Those three were the film. You could cut out most of everyone else and at the bare minimum you would still need those three for the film to work.

Ideally, HT would include two outfits with these figures. Their yellow flight suits and their end costumes. The rest would just be to casual and not memorable like those other two would be.

Well, we're all critics here, but HT has professionals making these decisions and their business seems to be doing quite well on the whole. So, I figure they'll survive with whatever it is they decide to do.

Maybe you could say that if the have a hard time stretching the yellow suit across all the X men,which I think is easy provided they come up with a good head sculpt, but also the fact that the X men are a team not individuals so people would look to collect them as such not to mention the success of the movie determines a great deal. 2 figures I don't think so given their strategy of stretching things 6 yellow and blue suits and not to mention you need a villain.

Re: Hot Toys-MMS: X-Men 1st Class

The Watchmen was more or less a team and we got 2. Two characters that never really went together either. Just because there is a team doesn't mean it will get completed. The only thing HT is committed to completing right now is Iron Man's armors. Other than that, you can't count on anything from them anymore. I'd be surprised if we got more than two figures. And know them it would be Charles and Darwin

Give me Magneto with 2 outfits and I'll be happy.

Re: Hot Toys-MMS: X-Men 1st Class

Did IQ's DROP sharply while I was away? In this announcement HT says "What’s more, the collectible of this movie will be coming too!"

COLLECTIBLE.

Not COLLECTIBLES. COLLECTIBLE. ONE. UNO.

We will get Magneto and thatll be it. At least, for now.

HT:
We are pleased to announce the license of the upcoming superhero blockbuster X-Men: First Class!

Unveiling the beginning of the X-Men saga, revealing the secret history of famous global events, it focuses on the relationship between Professor X and Magneto and the origin of their groups, the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants. This epic, action and character-driven movie shall be a must-watch this summer! What’s more, the collectible of this movie will be coming too! Witness the moment that will change our world. Stay tuned!



The movie will be launched this week! To watch the trailer and know more about the movie, please visit

Re: Hot Toys-MMS: X-Men 1st Class

Well, that's an interesting interpretation, but most folks at HT aren't native English speakers and that translation clearly seems to reflect that. "The collectible of this movie will be coming"? Technically, it seems to be saying that the movie itself is a collectible that will be coming soon.

I guess if you're taking everything they say literally at face value, though, we should be a bit more concerned about this "moment that will change our world" business. Sounds rather ominous to me.

 

[Buttmunch]

Re: Hot Toys-MMS: X-Men 1st Class

Yeah, unless HT's English has jumped up as much as our IQ's have dropped, it doesn't mean a thing. I get a good kick out of reading most of HT's writing in Engrish.

Even then, Magneto isn't the obvious choice for them. They never make the obvious choice. Hello, Silk Spectere anyone? Where the ____ is Rorschach?!?!

 

[DarthTrafford]

Re: Hot Toys-MMS: X-Men 1st Class

Well if they make Magneto then HT can make his character from Inglourious Basterds.

I would think HT would know the difference between single and plural at least when it comes to translation....

I really dont see anyone else being made but Magneto right now. If there were to be more they would have said "collectibles". As for obvious choices, I think theyve learned from their Watchmen debacle. Aside from Silk Spectre, who else was not an obvious choice?

EDIT: Add on top of that the entire announcement had no other "Engrish" mis-translations. So why would only ONE word be mistranslated. I think youre just too hopeful

Re: Hot Toys-MMS: X-Men 1st Class

Watchmen was a lead balloon in Hong Kong, the question is how well is X-Men doing over there

Re: Hot Toys-MMS: X-Men 1st Class

I'd be perfectly fine with just Magneto.

Maybe but that was a few years ago not to mention the fact that they would have to create brand new figures for all the watchmen, here the can stretch the blue and yellow suits. X men by far are more popular then Watchmen.I personally am new to 1/6 collecting and I only started to get in to because of the Iron figures they produced how popular and appealing the movie is to the main stream determines a lot.This movie just beat out Thor's opening week.

Nice call all I know is the key figure I want is Magneto with his costume. If he is in the yellow that's cool but I want the helmet and suit from his last scene. Soooooooo awesome!
