Howard Chan Interview Session - Toy People - trans. by Charles Lim (UPDATED Oct 3)

[VintijDroidGutzz]

While I agree with you guys that Trek deserves some high end love - & who better to do it than HT, they do have a choice about what they want to invest their focus on as well.

Ehh..

I can see why that part of the interview wasn't posted before.



Let me guess... that's a custom figure that costs double a Hot Toys figure.

More like 1.5x; which isn't too bad, if you want it badly enough.

Spock was right, " The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."

Sadly Howard must have only saw this:

All this Star Trek talk has actually put me right back in a Star Trek mood. Time to get the soundtracks playing and gather together the DVD collection.

I think he's just excited that Howard said they're making Raiden.

So basically the only x men figure they care about is Wolverine since everyone else is considered a supporting character

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

The Parts about this that i find funny is "there are not much characters to explore"

Since they don't explore much characters on licenses anyway, that's a non-issue.

"Clothing are quite similiar"

O Rly? Can't have that now can you

So basically the only x men figure they care about is Wolverine since everyone else is considered a supporting character

Referring only to Cap 2, Thor 2 and Avengers 2 as all of Marvel as well as the rest of the interview, it's pretty clear they are in Disneys pocket and aren't allowed to truly develop those outside of Disneys total control.

Disney controls the merchandising of X-Men & Spider-Man, but until they monopolise 100% of the movies, i doubt we'll get any X-Men figures other than Wolverine or future Spider-Man figures other than Spidey.

Updated first post with MORE questions

He talks as if they were the first to ever make merchandise of the character, and as if making money from a popular franchise is a practice they created.

And Apparently Dragon and PI overcharge for collectibles. Pot, kettle, black

So these guys but no Star Trek. Mmkay.

Seriously what a visually uninteresting, generic noughties TV cast - and at this time completely unproven. But because its set in a comic book world that has Iron Man in it it gets consideration over the entire 40+ years Star Trek franchise.

agreed.

Excellent custom.

RAIDEN OMG!

No new die-cast in the near future.

raiden

Definite buy... If they make him.

Since they could've gone for the more recent Rising version it sounds like there'll be atleast one other MGS4 figure.

Has he ever done the classic Kirk and Spock? Movie versions preferably.

I tried to tell Denny the classic characters were the ones to make figures of but he went reboot because he probably thinks it's what will sell the best since it's "hot" right now.
