Re: Hot Toys Superman

Yeah, I don't think I could possibly look forward to a release any more than this to be honest. It's up there with Vader and Indy.

Re: Hot Toys Superman

the thing about the 10th was this.
That we would not see anything until AFTER the 10th, because the tenth is when The Mattel superman was released.

So as to not deter anyone from buying the mattel one by showing the superior hot toys one until after Mattel makes money, and by license money, DC comics made money from that one. A Owner of Intellectual property that has been licensed out, Like DC, can make Hot toys do that, if they want to.

Is it speculation? Yes. Can we ever prove it actually happened? No, but given that hot toys usually doesn't make us wait this long between product tease, and detail specs, I still think there is something to it.


also, it's no longer the 10th, Mattel changed the release date to the 15th.

I do agree with you Flos-man

But truth be told, I was just poking fun at the trolls and their artificial release dates and sweetners

Based on that, I really wouldn't be surprised if HT holds the reveal until next year at least. Be funny if they pull a Bruce Lee and release him 3 years after. I think some of these fruitcakes would suffer a brain aneurysm and spontaneously combust!

I was hoping that was the case. You can never tell when you just pop in... Honestly though, this is a grail and a half.

Re: Hot Toys Superman

I found out from my doctor that if it's not announced by 12/25 that I will literaly implode followed by a quick explode.

Nothing personal, but that would be pretty cool!!!

You need to have someone record that and put it on youtube

or

call Mythbusters and get then to tape it for an episode.
