Hot Toys Star Wars?

[DiFabio]

What'd really rock is Darth Maul with PERS, would have to be like Batman where you come up through the bottom of the head. I like the look of the Medicom eyes up in his head like that, but it doesn't suit every pose. If you could put him in saber poses with the option to do all sorts of positions with his eyes, that'd be so badass.

Thing I'd like a lot is the skin texture, while most figures don't need as much as what HT does, Ray's skin texture really pops in a lot of shots of Maul because of the face paint.

The real question would be how they do his tats on his face, there's much variation to that over the shots in TPM because of inconsistencies with makeup.

I personally like them this way.

I don't like the Prequels but I would buy a HT Darth Maul, especially if he was as you described.

This may sound absurd, but of the three prequels, I think I like TPM the best. I kind of nostalgia hard for it. It may be crap but I have special feelings towards the movie. The "Return to Star Wars", the lightsaber duel, the lightsaber duel, oh and the lightsaber duel. There's just something really great about the red, green and blue lightsabers and the two Jedi vs. Darth Maul.

So if Darth Maul was a reality I'd be game for Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon too.

That's it though. The rest would have to be OT.

yes please don't even put the notion out there that secondary characters are important to complete a line and have HT start doing it cause it's not like I am not nutts and broke enough

Am I really the only _______ who wants HT to give us a decent Han and Luke? (Bespin). And how about Hoth versions while we're at it?

 

[DiFabio]

No, I'd buy HT Han and Luke, both Bespin. In fact, I'd prefer them to their SW and ROTJ variations.

Top 5 remakes?

1. ANH Leia - SS's is all kinds of wrong to me. The sculpt is just ok but way too big.

2. Bespin Han - This would be awesome from HT. There is very little that I actually like about SS's.

3. Bespin Luke - Really needs a new sculpt and a muscle body to pull off the training scene with Yoda.

4. Maul - I agree with everything MaulFan said. Plus I'd like a more aggressive sculpt along with a neutral one.

5. Jedi Luke - Loved it when it came out. It blew away everything that was 1:6 SW at the time but now he really needs updating. A better, more well proportioned sculpt and a different expression plus a TT body would do wonders for this figure.

No?

Dude as if your shelves weren't testimony enough.......you're the man.

Plus you're in OK, which is close enough to Texas to be cool.

I hate all this sniping that Hot Toys can't finish lines..

Well, a lot of the aggrivation with HT is often, it's only one more figure from being complete...While some may feel that "complete" extends to even certain secondary characters, I think most people would agree that a license has certain, really key characters in it and that at minimum a line should represent all of those characters.

They have a serious aversion to taking risks. Or maybe they just don't like certain characters and see our business as a way for them to make the figures they want to make. So either it's commercial cowardice, or it's artistic arrogance. Either way, handing them the keys to the kingdom would likely see a kingdom with radically fewer toys than what Sideshow is capable of (presumably on account of their near reckless willingness to take risks, and their appreciation for te desires of their fan/customer base).

Guys! I heard Indy and ROTJ Darth Vader will be the last two figures Hot Toys ever makes. Chinese regulation of Hong Kong has forced their hand. The company is breaking up and its artists will be fnding work elsewhere, at Sideshow in particular. But there will be no more official Hot Toys releases.

Hmmm.. you'd think such big news would include a link to the news source, guess there isn't one.

You 3 really hate Hot Toys that much? Luckily we all aren't that gullible.

 

[devilof76]

Link? It was a credible rumor.

LOL, guess I better take down the tree, my daughter is gonna be so disappointed.

Jesus called off Christmas years ago. Clement Clarke Moore went rogue and started it up again. I'd post a link, but I'm not here to do other people's legwork for them.
