Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

I'd love HT to skip her and get to the next Pirate offering immediately. I hated Cruz's character in the film.

Blackbeard, Barbossa and Jack's dad please. The pirate trifecta!

Sadly, other than Jack Sparrows, there may be no other Pirates offerings besides her.

I'm all for more Jack.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

It'll probably be Sunday night/Monday morning, Hot Toys usually announces releases then

I just want her released to get her out of the way so we can make room for Cannibal Jack and whomever else (Black Beard) might happen. Though like others, I highly doubt there will be any other characters offered without another flick coming out.

Disney's really pushing to make something out of the Angelica character -- clearly this release was a requirement of the license. Disney really wants her character to work, a "Jack for females". I like Penenlope and all, but she's just not feisty or eccentric enough. I would like to see her recast for the next two films. Her character needs to be wild, fiery, seductive and dangerous.

Fine be me as long as I get a sensational Cannibal Jack DX.

I doubt the Cannibal will be DX.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

I don't see Cannibal Jack being DX unless they come up with a flipping eye sysem instead of PERS where you can make him eyes closde with the cannibal painted eyes, or eyes open with his real eyes.

I just hope the throne is sold separate from the figure like the Iron Man gantry, I really just want the throne.

Penelope can do fiesty, seductive and wild perfectly. The character wasn't written well, that's not her fault. I think she did the best with what they gave her. From the end of this film it looks like her character will have a lot more fun in the next.

Me too, the original Cannibal Jack is just fine for me.

I pray HTs releases Barbossa, or BBeard

But they had moments in the script (and movie) where she could have been much more feisty, seductive and wild... and she just seemed bland. And don't get me wrong -- I like Penelope. Perhaps it was the pregnancy, perhaps it was the director's choices, I don't know. All I know is that she didn't really make that character her own. She didn't pop off the screen like her outfit did.

Angelica as a concept is fine. Could work. But it needs a really good performance to make it work against Depp. And it wasn't there IMO. Keira had a lot more charisma.

Cannibal Jack on a Throne & Barbossa w/ 2 outfits and I'm done w/ this POTC: OST line.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

I just can't stop picking up the Jack DX, posing it, futzing it, examining it under a magnifying glass. I never like to describe anything as 'best figure ever' but it is SENSATIONAL. If other owners of this figure are feeling like me then Hot Toys ought to announce Cannibal Jack DX now because I would order it in a heartbeat just to know I'm going to repeat my enjoyment of this figure; and then redo Davy Jones so he's got someone to face off against.

Make no mistake, redoing Cannibal King Jack would be worthwhile; I used to own it and I still think it's a great figure but just now I was checking out some old pics and everything about it is inferior to the work HT are doing now except for the headdress and the main sculpt - these are still good but could now be much, much better.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

So HT are actually doing another cannibal Jack?

Hope they do another COTBP ver.

 

[MaulFan]

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

They are doing another Cannibal King Jack and throne, whether the throne will be sold separate like the Iron Man gantry remains a mystery, and whether HT ever gets it out is also a mystery, they seem to be too quick to hint at things to come and very slow to come through on them lately.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

Indeed they do!

I saw the throne already thanks, but had not heard they were doing the figure again also.

 

[MaulFan]

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

Well one would think they would do a few Jack's, he seems like easy money, but then again, there are other figures that seem like easy money in their lines that HT hasn't done while over-milking ones you'd think folks would be tired of, so you never know.

I'm hoping for a separate throne as I'm quite happy with the previous cannibal Jack and would likely only want costume upgrades from a new one, the expression on the first is so unique and cool I can't imagine another one they might do that would be as interesting, at least that would suit the scene, there are plenty of expressions to do with Jack.

New avvy cause I'm super stoked about Angelica. C'mon Hot Toys!

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

I cancelled Superman for DX Jack. Don't regret a thing. Fromthe millions of pics of Supes I feel like I had him already. Bring on the next Jack and Depp figures.

Of the two, Sparrow certainly has more display options with his costume and 2 faces. Supes is pretty straight forward so I feel that figure has more to do with pure fandom and love of that portrayal where Sparrow is more of a toy to play with and have fun.
