Loved the movie, need the figure.
This suit is begging for a deluxe version with a Stark Drone.
Yeah, but the footage was all grainy and stuff...not high-def enough for a photo-realistic projection!
Really enjoyed the flick and will be all in on a Mysterio figure, if Hot Toys go down that route. Also,Oh and loved the epic mid-credit scene...wasn't at all sold on the last one.with the Homemade suit featuring in the movie (albeit in illusion form), what chance of a re-issue?
In regards to...
the homemade suit...how the heck would Mysterio know about that???
I love the design because it's relatively comic accurate, but...
complaints levied against the Mandarin figure could also be applied here really. He only appeared in the suit as a hologram, are in a facsimile of it just for public relations purposes. He's never actually a villain in the suit fighting Spidey or anything else. Although, that could be justified in the sense that Mysterio's whole thing is the fact that he creates illusions whereas the Mandarin was just a facade and wasn't even a real character.

After watching Homecoming, I was SUPER amped to buy a Vulture Hot Toys figure... After watching FFH today, I know better than to let myself hope for Mysterio... :'(
Well you gotta keep in mind that part of the reason why Vulture was never made was that his sheer size (and therefore price) would have made it unattainable for a good chunk of collectors. Since Mysterio is a normal-sized figure I'd say the chances of him being made are much higher.

They'll risk size and price for heroes like Falcon and Diecast Iron Man, but not on villains. Although I do think Vulture's wingspan was greater than Falcon's by a fair bit.
While I agree with you with respect to the size of Vulture's wings, I don't see how that would have priced him out the reach of many collectors. The fan motors & center section make his wings a bit more complex than Falcon's, but even a $100-$125 price increase would still have kept it at or below $400. I think plenty of people would have ponied up for it at that price - just look at how many of us pulled the trigger on the DC version of the Mk VII, the Mark L, the Mark LXXXV and Armored Thanos. We b*tched about the cost, but we still ordered most (if not all) of them.
Right...well I feel like Iron Man is the rare exception where we collectors would pony up the outrageous cost and justify it based on the luxurious diecast.
Also for the record I did not order the Mark L...but it wasn't due to the price...it was due to the overall rushed design of the suit (which I have been very vocal on already...so no need to repeat!).
I do have 85 on pre-order though!
But anyways, getting back on point...with respect to Vulture, I can see collectors being turned off by its massive size of the wings and the price. While the Vulture was cool, he is by no means as iconic as Thanos was that people would feel justified in paying close to $400 for it.
I'm wondering how they'll deal with his animated helmet, though? The smoke-like look within it, you know? Will it just be painted on? Or be some type of light-up feature that makes it look cool? Not sure how they'll pull that part off.
