Watchmen. They killed Watchmen in favour for Spirit.

Tron Legacy has been DOA for awhile now, the Lightcycle might rejuvinate it but i'm not hopeful

Smooth Criminal Michael Jackson has been expected by fans for too long.

Elias from Platoon was announced and forgotten

I'm pretty sure they're just biding their time. No big rush. No games out to capitalize on or anything anyhow.

At least we've seen the Tron Proto, and it should come out in the next month or two hopefully...
But Smooth Criminal... well... it's a crime not to show us progress on this line!

But the costume designs were awesome, so that would make for some pretty cool figures.

Don't forget about Rambo. He won the poll.

Re: Lost Hot Toys Licenses

I think HT also announced Ada Wong from the Resident Evil series, but no word about it since. And that was supposedly for an 15th(?) anniversary for the series.

Oh and also the seamless body Bruce Lee.

I think with HT its really hard to say, "If we don't see x item by x date, It's not happening."
There are some things that they take their sweet time to do. One of the only licenses I'd say is dead with any certainty is Watchmen. Sucker Punch was a critical and financial disaster and they still released a couple of characters so I don't think we can rule out Green Lantern. As far as Tron goes, I have a feeling they didn't know exactly how to light the light cycle when the showed the prototype. Part of why we haven't seen more from Tron is it is likely really difficult to produce.

Sucker Punch won.

Matrix. Alls we got was a Sentinel.
I'm still holding out for lobby Neo and Nero suit Neo plus Trinity, Morpheus, the Twins ... Come on Hot Toys

If we're talking about wish lists and I know we're not, let's have Ghostbusters, Blade Runner, Dune, Star Trek II, Commando, Creeper from Jeepers Creepers, the Fellowship - completed and done to HT standards ... The list could go on

Selfish much? You may not want it but others do... Don't Like It Don't buy it

The movie means nothing, look how many ordered the Skaar PF without even knowing who the hell it was.

Re: Lost Hot Toys Licenses

I don't think HT has ever acquired a license and then not put out a single product, have they?
