Lot of hate, actual venomous hatred for HT lately. And deservedly so. So far this year, Enterbay have my interest piqued.

Re: OFFICIAL Hot Toys Metal Gear Solid thread

We have to start considering that most of us - MGS fans - *will* wait for a high-quality HT 12" figure while, as has been pointed out, most "flash in the pan" Avengers fans probably wouldn't still be interested in a Hawkeye 12" figure a year after the movie is released...

I'm a HUGE proponent of what HT has done for the hobby of 1/6th collecting, though - that said - the things they are now doing now is irritating fans because, like any popular company who can't grow as fast as their fan/customer base, they have the habit of making an announcement in order to hook fans...and then....fans wait...and wait...and wait...for the figures...which were announced...a long...long...long...time ago...

Examples - besides MGS - include Avatar, Captain Harlock, and Sucker Punch. Thankfully, Sucker Punch and Avatar will at least see release soon, though there's obviously no real rush on HT's part to even show Harlock or MGS prototypes.

Again, the "die-hard" fandom of these properties is no doubt a part of the reason HT is not in any real rush, though one would think the time between the announcement and the actual look at a prototype would be less than...what's it been now? Almost 15 months?

Again, I can only hope and pray the 12" MGS HT figures are worth the wait as, if there are even a bit disappointing, people will jump all over HT for it!

And obviously InFlames is getting in on the action while the interest is there and releasing the MetalBoss figures - sadly, Hot Toys' inaction has no doubt in part caused InFlames' growth in popularity and, if anything, increased the desire for these "bootleg" MGS figures.

Funny thing IMHO is HT was quick to anger about the whole MetalBoss thing, but HT originally made a number of figures which were considered "questionable" in terms of licensing, including unauthorized figures of George Lucas (director), Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, MI:2), and Neo (Keanu Reeves, Matrix) - considering HT's own beginning and InFlames start now, one has to wonder where InFlames could be 5 years from now, especially considering how many fans are impressed with the Metalboss figures -- just imagine what InFlames could have done with the official license!!

Wished ThreeA had the license instead of HT. I feel that they'll do a better job.

Re: OFFICIAL Hot Toys Metal Gear Solid thread

It pisses me off to no end that bootlegs are making more money and more figures even though they are bootleg, it just shows how inactive and behind that HT are

ThreeA figures would be great, they'd be kindof artsy, but i'd still want realistic looking figures too

Christ!!!! Avengers gets a new teaser the same day a new figure goes up for order, what a load of bull____

It's not just MGS, there is a whole list of licenses announced and ditched to cash-in on fanboy fools with more money than sense, half of them have admitted to not liking Hawkeye that much but ordering it anyway so they can say they have a full team.

Hot Toys.

Re: OFFICIAL Hot Toys Metal Gear Solid thread

You know what's going to suck more than not getting a MGS figure? Hot Toys will probably just give us one Solid Snake or Big Boss figure and then the line will be over.

At this point, I'm not expecting much from Hot toys. One or two figures is probably the most that they'd ever plan on doing.

But, imagine if they just release one Raiden figure from "Revengeance" and leave it at that .
