Perfect timing for this figure would be june to go along Superman Anthology on Blu-Ray being released.

Probably............ hope so........

i'm so amazed how this thread goes for 200 plus pages and until now there's no proto pics... and to think that they are announcing more figs to come... i hope hot toys will show the pics and this thread will be crazy!

Whats odd to me is not so much that nothing has been shown, but that no comment has been made by HT regarding it. I mean, they must know so many people are waiting - why not make a statement, ANY statement about where they stand on this?

Do we have any reason to think a sculpt of this even exists yet? (sorry I just follow this off and on)

Yes. Arnie Kim continued sculpt is finished and with HT. But that was months ago.

The lack of any pics or info at all since the intial announcement makes me think there may be some behind the scenes license approval issues going on. You don't just go silent running on a project this big for this long without there being a monkey in the wrench.

2761 posts without any specs or pics. Is this a record?

This is such an easy buy

I think the reason, or one of the main reasons this is taking so long is that HT is making a specially designed body. Taller, more CR evocative and that takes time to get right and mass produce.

As some may recall, HT designed a special body for the Routh figure too, but again, this would be taller, maybe 12.5 inches as Chris was 6' 4 at least.

hope thats the case, but at the same time making him so exclusive probably will elevate the costs right? i wouldn't mind paying an extra 50.00 for this figure........ this is a most have!

 

[dns600]

Probably............ hope so........

yeah! really hope so too but I think it's unlikely coz' of the lack of news. maybe end of the year

[JRL]

But i have to admit this looks very real! hope Arnie Kim can reach this quality..................... or not

I'm not that much of a "Pirates" fan but that would look really cool on a shelf.

I'm going from memory but didn't this used to be a Superman thread? Perhaps I'm loosing my memory. They say it's the first thing to go.

No. Sadly it's a hissy fit thread.

 

[Kamandi]

No. Sadly it's a hissy fit thread.

Ohhhh.... I'll speak to the nurse about my meds.

Off to play shuffleboard.

 

[vodoun]

Don't be selfish. Pass them out! I want what these guys are taking.
