Hot Toys - MMS - X-MEN First Class - Professor X (Charles Xavier)

I forgot all about this, but then it was already confirmed as cancelled till dofp anyway so I guess that explains it

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Nothing was officially confirmed.

Man I cant believe they are still gonna trudge ahead with Prometheus!

That's what I was thinking. How does this take priority over anything X-Men related?

The quotes you posted was confirmation










Oh you thought he meant the Wolverine film didn't you

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

well that is the next X-Men movie

 

[Biojex]

I'd put money on the fact that X:FC was cancelled and they'll ramp up for DotFP.

That's my guess as well.

Especially when in all likelihood they're gonna cancel the line after just one figure.

i hope its not cancelled (XMFC Xavier).....I was looking forward to this figure.

Don't worry, they'd only cancel this figure if nobody liked the movie and the figure of young Charles Xavier resonated with no one...

Personally, I think that unless Howard and Hot Toys only makes what they like, they're not making X-Men figures because of profitability. They're a business. If they thought they could make anywhere near as much per X-Men figure as Batman or Iron Man, we'd have a dozen or two on our shelves. Between the 5 X-Men movies, there are at least 20 great looking characters they could have make figures of.

Whether their research told them they won't sell, or the gauge was the sale of Wolverine origins and later X3 Wolverine, they must not see the money there.

My only other theory, is that it has something to do with the studio. Maybe Sony is not as cooperative as Marvel Studios? Sony does hold the Spiderman and X license??????

Its sucks they don't make more from those 2 licenses. But the reality is, HT equals Batman, Iron Man and Predator ( sorry if I'm missing any others ). And they occassionaly sprinkle in all the other stuff. I doubt that will ever change.

Unfortunately your spot on Mike, they shoudn't announce them and tease them if they aren't going to make them.
It raises false expectations, if they didn't say they were doing them we woudn't expect the to o them and be waiting.

I completely agree. But you know we all torture ourselves too. They're not loosing any sleep over anything not being made. We can't contol anything they do. Only how we approach and handle it.

For example, a Zod teaser is shown at SDCC. SECONDS later, we get NOW WHERE'S FAORA??? That is just mental masterbation! Then when Faora gets announced, it'll be NOW WHERE'S ARMORED JOR-EL.

With some, HT will never be spoken of highly. However, those same fans are still buying the product.

There doesn't seem much appreciation or basking in what just been revealed before its about the next one.

Even Yesterday after the 6 or do Iron Man there were posts saying "WHERES SHOTGUN??"

could somebody just ask the people at the side show booth were is the dam figure and at this point we really need Eric because having only Eric feels like half a figure.

And seeing the preview pics of Xmen days of the future past I don't think they would make and of the first class people considering they are on 70's gear the older crew are the ones with the costumes

Haha dude, the fandom for First Class Charles and Erik is almost as big as the Loki fandom.

That's how i feel about Jake Sully and no Neytiri...

Its a vicious cycle - no one buys these figures because they think HT won't complete the line and whats the point only have Barnes and Taylor without Elias/Jake Sully without Neytiri. HT doesn't complete the line because not enough people buy their 'test' figures.

Yeah. It's a pity of course, but it's only business.
I'd have bought Prof X. But it will likely never happen now. Such a pity.
