All the pictures we've seen have been hard plastic boots. Is it really likely that that will change?
If it does I'd be thrilled, and would most likely buy. But it seems unlikely to me.
Someone please tell me why I'm wrong.
I'd say that the chances it will change are at least 80%
Hot Toys always tweaks stuff so it's most likely they will tweak the boots. It's not that hard to do and they have about 3-4 months so they'll do it.
