Is Hot Toys going to release a new run of Truetypes?

[JustinLuck]

It's getting quite frustrating scouring ebay to simply find a True type body with pegs. The price gouging is getting absurd. Is Hot Toys going to release more of these guys? On a related note, check out this guy's pictures showing the range of articulation of the True types. It also shows how well they can hold stances without falling over.

I love the Truetype and with a bit a sanding on the overly wide shoulders they're aces. What's the going rate on these now? I picked up mine when they came out for $25.

Last time I checked, Vikings Playground had 'em.If he's out of stock, he'll probably get more(Alexi's good about that)...PS

Ok, i've got a new favorite website now. He's currently out, but LOOK AT ALL THOSE ACCESSORIES!!!

great body. Luckily, I purchased a few to tide me over when they were available.

Now, as far as your link...those pics always make me laugh. I know they are supposedly wrestling, but some of those look so wrong.
It must be my homophobia before anyone gets bent out of shape it's a joke.

hot toys IS about to release a new Caucasian body, as well as a the new female truetype shortly. the new white guy has a tom cruise head. I've got no idea on the female body.

tom cruise???

 

[lerath666]

yup, that's the one.

 

[lerath666]

and just becuase.

not sure if that's the head we will get or not however.

tom cruise? looks more like my neighbor and no tom cruise isn't my neighbor.

 

[Buttmunch]

Not sure I really see Cruise in there. Maybe if he had an eye patch on?

I believe it's a re-use of one of the old celebrity look alike heads from their military figures line. Personally, I don't see much of Cruise in there either, but that's who it was meant to resemble.

When I made my Nurse Joker I was looking for truetypes and the only ones I could find were running about $60. I didn't need the headsculpt, hands, or feet so I ended up buying a body and then wrist, ankle, and a neck pegs. All around it cost me about $35 to get one that way.

 

[lerath666]

that seems often to be the way to go. however, If you know where to look, you can often get them for about that price with a head as well.

I hope the new female body gets released soon. I've have some customs I've been working on and it would be perfect for them. Also, they've got the rooted hair down perfectly (where did Sideshow go wrong with it).

I'm not going to pay more than $30 for a headless, footless, handless True Type. But I have been outbid every time so far. I guess people are desperate enough. Any word when the Tom Cruise version will be released?
