If Sideshow ends the line, could Hot Toys pick it up?

Re: A SS/HT collaboration on Indy possible?

Fine. I guess wishing for something is a lost art around here.

Keep the hope alive for us, Johnny!

And if you end up being right, you have a license to gloat all you want!

The probably is it has been said so much around here that after a while it gets to be a little too much.

Re: A SS/HT collaboration on Indy possible?

I have a feeling that HT are gonna make a one-off figure of Indy this year, and Sideshow helped them to do it. Either them or thanks to the new Medicom/Enterbay partnership it is possible now. Hopefully in the next few weeks we might hear something. I'm gonna ask Greg at Sideshow's chat next Friday if it's possible. At least then we might know.

why do you say this? have you heard possible recent rumblings or is this just wishful thinking? it would be great but i cant really see it happening

A DX Indie with alternative cocktail suit and headsculpt anyone? Or maybe the suit he wears when they get to pancake palace... Oooh the possibilities
I think Something Sexy is right though...this is just beating a dead horse. Maybe, instead, we should have a wish list about what the next DX figure will be, or will Hot Toys make SW figures..

Re: A SS/HT collaboration on Indy possible?

I think Indy's the next LOTR 12" line where hopeless fans will keep asking and asking only to get

Which I think shows that there's still a market for those out there. It may not be a big market, but by not tapping into it Sideshow are loosing customers like me. I personally have no interest in their polystone stuff. I only have one PF (Hellboy II) and although it does look great, I never had as much enjoyment from owning it as I did with the flawed Raiders 1/6 Indy. If Sideshow says these lines are not profitable then fine, I guess they know better, but here's one potential customer whose money they're not going to get. With Indy it's also very frustrating because the line failed due to subpar quality of all figures prior to Henry Sr, not because there was no interest in them.

Hot Toys indiana Jones?

Even without the recent stall in the Sideshow Indiana Jones 1/6 line, the line was been somewhat lack luster. Prometheus body problems. Over-sized heads. Lack of detail in headsculpts and paint work... is there any chance Sideshow allows Hot Toys to do the liscense the 'right' way like they did with the Terminator liscense?

Indian Jones is a failed license on all fronts. The fan base isnt there, despite what Indy fanboys on this board will try and tell you.

Re: Hot Toys indiana Jones?

I can't imagine that the Terminator franchise has more potential for selling figures than a properly done Indiana Jones line...

I will say that hot toys quality figures sell... just look at Blade. THat's a terrible franchise with hundreds of millions less financial success than Indiana Jones... If hot toys makes a high quality Indiana Jones it will SELL OUT.

I have zero interest in any of the Indys I've seen to date (not counting some of the great customs I've seen). I'm definitely no Indy fanboy, and my pay packet isn't as fat as a lot of peoples - but I reckon I'd shell out some cash for a Hot Toys Indy, maybe even a Short Round too.

Re: Hot Toys indiana Jones?

Hot Toys is not the right company to do this. They have only showed the most half-hearted interest in lines outside Iron Man, Terminator and Predator, all in the robots and aliens category.

We need a Western-based company like Sideshow but one with a real passion for 1:6 like Hot Toys to deliver in-depth licences like LotR or Indy. Sideshow has failed because they have made bad design decisions, had poor quality control and suffer a polystone addiction.

Such a company exists only in fiction.
