Hot Toys Yondu Tease

[Hoody999]

Really looking forward to this. Only problem is if Star Lord Vol 2 is release Jan-March 2018. Yondu will probably be that sort of timing minimum......or ?

Is there an official announcement? Cause he could have just been sharing the image...

Don't think there was. Everyone just optimistically/delusionally speculating.

JC actually shared an image on Facebook with the caption "i want it *smile emoji*". Being the Production Director at Hot Toys he can literally make it happen.

Of course this is all speculation but I don't see why not since Yondu was a big part emotionally for the film

Hardly call that an "official announcement".

Usually an official announcement is actually showing off the Hot Toys product advert.

Good attempt but sorry, try again.

Of course they'll do Yondu. There is a 3rd movie coming and Yondu was arguably the best performance and

in this movie.

They've done the main characters, so why would they not do him ? It makes perfect sense matched with this "tease" by JC.

They teased Logan too .. *crickets*

It's not an official announcement from Hawt Toyz, but he's their production director and a painter , so I'd assume he'd be "in-the-know".

It would be cheap for him to post an awkward shot of Yondu's head with a filter (like the one he used for his recent Wonder Woman tease) if it didn't mean squat.

He was also the one who posted this:



So honestly, I'll be surprised if this doesn't happen. It's a Marvel property too, which means he has a better chance. I need a HT Yondu.

Trust me. I want one too but it's not official. I wouldn't expect anything until I hear more information.

I think I'm good off expecting then getting disappointed later (Yellowjacket, Crossbones)

Yeah, fair enough. I'm just really anxious about this since Rooker is my favorite character.

I haven't seen the movie but I heard he was a badass. Need to watch once I get back to solidify my wanting to purchase this figure lol.

Most people watch the movie first. Connect with the movie/character then get the figure.

You're method is very unorthodox.......

You must be new to this.

 

[Moonloop]

This is and has been one of my most wanted figures since Vol. 1, hoping this actually gets made.

 

[DioramaMaker]

I could see this being a summer convention exclusive.

 

[Edub]

If it does end up being an exclusive, its going to be crazy

 

[Hoody999]

Exclusives are rarely exclusive these days. At least for Star Wars figures the "exclusives" were still for normal sale long after the Con or whatever they were released at were over. And I mean almost a year later. I'm talking Space Stormtrooper and Gold Stormtrooper for example.

Let's see what gets shown at SDCC. That's HT's main Con outside of Asia. Looking forward to it !! Personally I think we'll get Yondu this year and Mantis too or at some point later.

I wonder how they'll do Mantis' antennae ?? I guess plug in is the only way. Maybe they'll have different antennae versions instead of hand versions for her

They're all I need for now too. Except for a new Drax with a Ver 2 body. (maybe Vol 3, maybe just maybe...)

Needs to have an interchangeable magnetic head fin.

Needs to have an interchangeable magnetic head fin.

Yeah I agree. That should be pretty easy for them to do. Would be a nice addition.
