Hot Toys - MMS466 - The Matrix - Neo Collectible Figure

[TonTon]

Hey! don't pick on Roger, he is a awesome guy. Always gives me great deals on tires and made a fantastic suit for my John Wick figure.

This forum wouldn’t be what it is without Rog (we’re on a nickname basis). I believe Howard Chan has so much respect for him that he has a red phone to dial him up anytime he has question on making a prototype more accurate.

I got an official response from the costume designer, Kym Barret, regarding the color of Smith's suit in the first film.

There you have it, it's not black or grey, it was a dark green, so HT better do their research. It didn't take me long to contact the designer herself, and I'm a nobody.

I knew it! GOOD JOB!

Hot toys used to respond to emails and suggestions, now they blow it off big time

Iminime's Smith suit is green and it looks fantastic.

\.

Looks grey to me.

Hot Toys on the other hand is doing what they think will work best only in the sense that they're doing the bare minimum required to sell units to indifferent fans

Of course they are, they're producing a lot more of these figures than Iminime were. That is a factor too.

To be fair, they prob have better things to do than write to fans complaining all day which I'm sure they get at a high volume since fans are so picky.

Looks grey to me.

However it might look to you doesn't change the fact that it's green.

Well is it though? it doesn't look green at all?................is there anyone here that has the figure? because in pictures, its grey?

This is listed as the Imini version in google images, either this isn't actually the right figure and some other company made this or one of us is about to find out they're color blind because this to me looks straight up grey.....

I'll try take a pic tomorrow when I get to work.

Hot Toys will still release this figure in black suit. For those concerned with screen accuracy, to get that green filter look on your brand new Hot Toys Neo figure, simply put a green transparent plastic filter on your detolf's lights, that should work.

Right now I'm more concerned whether to PO this or Emperor Palpatine -- I like both but can afford the required 25% down payment on only one figure this month.

 

[EVILFACE]

I would get Neo.

Star Wars stuff will prolly be discounted later like the rest.

Awesome!
At least now we know.

I love how people think they need to email Hot Toys about how to design an outfit
its not like they’re a multi million dollar company that has been doing this for years

Multi million dollar companies don't give a **** about what they produce as long as it sells. Thanks to people like you who'd buy anything that kinda resembles the picture of the on-screen thing, HT or SSC or whoever will be producing whatever they want.

they prob have better things to do than write to fans complaining all day which I'm sure they get at a high volume since fans are so picky.

Are you working for them or gettin' free figures for "reviews"?

 

[Garo Predator]

Hmmm, I wonder if this third party matrix reloaded costume will fit Neo. If I can figure that out, Neo is a buy for me...Meh who am I kidding I am gonna order it anyway probably.

Hot Toys are more than capable of not doing due research to produce screen accurate outfits, accessories, likenesses etc. Years worth of complaints and photographic evidence of deterioration on the old ED-209 didn't dissuade them from using rubber on their most recent ED-209 because Hot Toys knows best right? And guess what, the new one deteriorates just like the old one.

Smith sellout is a no brainer IF they get that suit color correct. Good work Tony!

I would actually get Palps Deluxe over Neo, this Matrix line is just getting started.

 

[Ropen]

Neo was selling out preorders, smith might do worse, barely no one’s snatching up palpatine, ill just wait, i already got darth/tarkin, neo but neo is far out

I never said i was buying Smith so no idea where you pulled that out of.

At this rate beggars can’t be choosers, for all we know the only hot toys matrix figure ever released would have been the sentinel which im sure will sky rocket now:

Is that sentinel's color accurate?

You said it. Before this announcement I was starting to give up hope on officially licensed 1/6 Matrix figures.

And I think a black suit Smith would be better, if only for display purposes.

HT should include both a black and green suit and the appropriate sunglasses to go along with the suits. Is that too much? Also, his gun and tracker bug....maybe Mr. Anderson's files too.
