Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread
Sadly, I don't imagine they'll do anyone from the first 3 movies unless they're in the 4th, there's hope for Barbossa, but I don't think they'll go backwards, unless they handle the 4th film better than AWE with figure selections and the line does really well, if they make a load of cash off it, they might go backwards to keep making money, but they have to handle it right. Between the first Jack looking a bit like Andre the Giant on the old style TT body and having the wrong coat color, plus 2 Sao Feng's, that line was hurt as much as succeeded. Of the 7 POTC figures they released, 3 were really well done, Cannibal Jack, Will and Davy Jones, Elizabeth was ok, not everyone's top costume choice though, and her hair is a train wreck of a sculpt, Sao just wasn't overly popular outside of the foreign market, and the first Jack had a mixed reception because of things like the sculpt, coat color, some figures coming with too dark a skin tone. Of all the lines I've followed from HT, I'd say the POTC one was the most poorly handled. I'm glad we at least got Davy Jones though, I love that figure.
