Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

barbossa looks like a grandpa. that's the reason ht is hesitant. a fig of an old dude, no matter how cool the character is, is risky.

i mean, has ht ever made a fig of an old dude?

- supes' dad
- don vito
- kevin flynn
- odin

they all look like school kids compared to barbossa. maybe barbossa should dye his hair white in the next film, then ht will make the fig for sure.

Barbossa would be a far more interesting looking figure than all of those with the exception of Odin and even more interesting than most of the Pirates figures except Jack and Davy.
 
Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

i was being sarcastic in the last post. the only reason i could think of for the barbossa not being made is that he looks like a boring old dude, visually.

but those other figs i mentioned above look just as dull, if not more. they even have white hair. that's how much of an old gramp each of those figs are. barbossa at least has a peacock for a hat.

Yea, Barbossa is the one I'm waiting for. Love Jack too, but Barbossa is the only HT figure I need from Pirates. If we do get Barbossa I'd consider some others, but until then....
 
Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

maybe Maulfan can update the first post......I'd like to see the entire lineup so far.
 
Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

If you mean post the HT official shots, I could do that, if you mean another group shot, I can't, as I never had a Sao Feng and I've sold off my Elizabeth and Will Turner.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

Barbossa would require the detail of the century with his pot marked face and straggly hair and beard. If HT pulled it off -it would be a must buy. Not only because of the incredible detail, but because it's Geoffrey Rush.
 
Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

anyone thinking/hoping we'll see a new POITC charcter revealed this week with the movie being released on home video?
 
Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

I'm always hoping to finally get Barbossa, but I don't expect much.

We'll probably see Angelica now close to home video release, or close to Jack's release, she'll need hype to sell well.

Ya, a part of me thinks that's the reason they won't. They realize it'd be incredibly difficult to replicate his features to Hot Toys standards... and mass produce them.
 
Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

I've never seen HT coincide a figure with a DVD release here. And I hoped for it many times.

never say never though. they basically said on their FB page that Cap is being released this week to coincide with the home video release next week.

Oh, well there ya go. 'Bout time they pay attention to that stuff. Marketing hype 101.

So let's see Angelica already.
