Hot Toys - X-Men Days of Future Past?

[melkorjunior]

That DoFP Xavier looked so good I'd be tempted to get it even though I have no real interest in the character. Oh, if only they could give us a Mystique to go with him. I'd also take a Fassbender Magneto.

Here's a question: does Hot Toys ever take customizers into account when picking characters to produce? Because an unhelmeted Fassbender Magneto sculpt only needs blonde hair to become David from Prometheus, and maybe that would generate more interest?

As for Wolverine, I've been tired of him for literally decades. Jackman does a great job with him but I just can't stand the character. He's the Fonzie of the X-Men.

I doubt that very seriously in the way you are suggesting. They do seem to pay attention to custom artists, though, as their involvement with Kato and hiring of former custom sculptors demonstrates.

So how many Wolverines is this? 4? Origins, X3, The Wolverine and now DoFP? So yeah...I have no hopes of another figure coming. I wouldn't be shocked if we got FC Wolverine with exclusive Bar Stool before getting another character from this line.

I totally expected to get that First Class Wolverine as a figure

I know it's hard to tell from the screen shot, but the face sculpt looks like same one that was used for "The Wolverine" Wolverine. The only differences I can tell (again looking at a microscopic photo of a photo) is that the hair might be different and not as much facial hair.

Man, I only bought the last Wolverine figure because I thought they wasn't making this one.

I need 70s Logan.

Same here. I was holding out for a 70's Wolverine but since it seemed like it wasn't gonna happen I bought The Wolverine last week on sale.

 

[gokey24]

Yep, mixed feelings now. I only like having one of each character, and I'd hate to sell my old one.

I'm hoping it's just a place holder, the last Wolverine figure looked nothing like Jackman.

What a surprise! Shocking tease! Finally!

Pretty much, it doens't look very spectacular and easy to make by HT standards. But I have 4 Wolverines already, so why not another?

I was expecting a Fassbender Magneto

 

[Johnny Utah]

Fassbender's Magneto demands a figure.

Honestly, I don't believe it... Why would HT go through the trouble to design an entirely new outfit (and possibly new head) only make 5 just to give them away? That doesn't seem like something HT would do unless Marvel paid them a **** ton of money to do so, which would also be incredibly pointless... It's probably just an early release drawing.

That does seem hard to believe. But if true

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, that sounds like BS. Unless he has a special base or something to distinguish him. Or unless Riddick is right, and it's a total parts reuse (I doubt it seriously).
