HotToys Dutch & Billy ... WHEN ???

[Shai]

FIGURES FROM THE Predator 1 MOVIE WOULD probably BE one of the only 12'' line i'd like to collect(with gijoe) in this format.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Considering they can't get likeness rights, I'd imagine they won't solicit them until soon before they ship. Or they're still struggling to get the likeness rights.

 

[drunk_leprechaun]

They'll be out soon, but due to licensing issues with the actor's likenesses, Dutch will be asian with a beard and Billy will look vaguely like Elton John

that actually made me laugh

so its confirmed that they are having trouble getting likeness rights for the p1 team?

 

[nicky]

They'll probably ^^^^ them up anyway by having bodies made of ^^^^ty rubber .

 

[crazypredator2]

Dutch will probably be the only one i get, if they don't mess up his likeness.

If this is true, that might be a good thing--it would lead to better sculpts. I really think HT is just babying the line so it's near perfect when it drops.

 

[laudel7]

I really hope they are a good likeness. Would be a real let down if they wernt

 

[uscmhicks]

If there not custom sculpts will be made in no time anyway probably.

 

[nicky]

Lonnie and H2 Creative already have a Dutch head.. He's waiting on the HT line to appear before he finishes off the rest.

 

[Zoolander]

I hope we get a good Dutch and Billy sculpt atleast

 

[galactiboy]

Almost seems like it would be easier and cheaper to make your own at this point... but that base Arnold sculpt does look really nice. Too bad he'll now most likely come with a moustache

 

[crazypredator2]

if neca and sideshow can get likeness rights of arnold, what's hot toys excuse, they can't? doesn't make sense, if it's money, that's no excuse, they will easily make a killing off the figures.

 

[Zoolander]

you should not have to buy custom heads when you are already paying good money for a figure

yep, thats what im relying on. HT will go cheap ass on the head sculpts. very poor.

Sorry I'm not referring to what you wrote but the pic in your sig - are they seriously only on Street Fighter IV???? How long ago was Street fighter 2?? Surely they should be well past 4 by now!

nope. remember there was SF 2 turbo, SF alpha, alpha 3 and ex plus alpha the list goes on. 4 isnt even out yet very soon though

 

[a-dev]

I had street fighter 2 Turbo on the SNES/Famicon?? and then Street fighter alpha 2 on the PSone or just Playstation as it was known back in the day.

I can still hear the sound effects and voice recordings in my head. SstrEeeet fighta ALPHA......2!!! Ha-DOE-ken!! E-honda's "Ooh Oi" for his human projectile headbutt, Guile's sonic boom that sounded like he was saying Lennox SPOON!!!! The tripping someone up sound etc. Good times. But a long time ago which is why I would have thought IV would be 6 or 7 incarnations ago.
