The Hottoycast: The new High-End Collectable Podcast

[Eamon]

New episode up now gentlemen!!

Thanks for the high praise gogul1!
What helped me get stared on the "Hot Toys ladder" was selling off older collections of other "lesser" figures. I had a lot of Batman figures for instance I sold mine to get Hot Toys Batman.

Hey Eamon, I just had to say great job on this last podcast! You guys all sounded great—very relaxed and engaged. It almost sounded like you were all in the same room, the way you all responded to each other. It really sounded like you guys all got together for drinks and just started shooting the breeze about your figures. I guess it shows how well your friendship has grown between all of you because you all sound very comfortable with each other and it makes for a great listen.

Looking forward to the next one!

 

[Eamon]

Oh thanks man! Glad you like it. We like to think we make a classy podcast for classy folks.

 

[Eamon]

New and rather overdue episode now uploaded chaps! It's a little longer than usual too.

 

[gogul1]

Ahhh sooooo good. Listening now, I love this podcast. It reflects my sentiments exactly. If you have problems displaying your hot toys eamon then I have cabinets they can go in ;o)
Thanks again for the great show guys. Really enjoyable.
Maybe to bulk up the volume of podcasts you can do a few with private collectors. Third party headsculpts etc are also another great way of getting 1/6 figures. Heres some pictures of some of my custom made ones some headsculpts really are great.

Hey gogul1 - nice figures and suggestions! It's not really the lack of figures that causes the podcasts to be fewer in number, as God knows, the amount shipping these days is insane. Rather, it's time, because getting the three of us all available at the same time for a couple hours, what with family and work, can be tricky. We'll see what we can do to get them going on a more regular basis though, and thanks so much for the kind words!

Good the hear Michael, I really enjoy the show.

Very happy to announce more special guests for The HottoyCast. We have StarAce Toys coming on our next episode. If you have any questions about Harry Potter, 300 or anything else in the 1:6 high-end industry, please post them here.

Is there a way to listen to the podcast other than ITunes? I've always wanted to hear the show.

If you don't mind, I am going to put this over in the Star Ace Harry Potter thread. I'm sure there will be lots of questions.

 

[WWEJedi]

My questions.

When can we expect to see versions of Deathly Hallow Harry, Ron, and Hermione?

Will we be getting any more villains like Bellatrix, generic Death Eaters or Dementors?

Is Dobby, Crookshanks or Nagini planned?

Are any 1/6th environments or sets planned such as Harry's trolley cart used in platform 9 and 3/4, the grand staircase or great hall dinner tables?

It's available on most Podcasting platforms like Stitcher, Podcasts, feed://www.eamonart.com/PODCASTS/podcast.xml

That's fine but folks must post their questions here and not on individual figure threads. That way we can just look to hear for the questions.

These are all brilliant questions and I second them!

 

[Underworld54]

Can you ask them about Selene? How is she progressing? were they able to recreate her latex catsuit in 1/6 scale? Will we be getting a vamp head with blue eyes? When can we expect to see prototype of Viktor?

Thank you!

My questions for Star Ace:

1) What is the likelihood of seeing some of the other main character children in the Harry Potter world--specifically Neville, Luna, Ginny, Fred & George--anytime soon?

2) With Year 4 Harry already released and Year 4 Hermione being shown at conventions, is a Year 4 Ron planned to complete the trio? If so, what outfit is most likely?

3) What are the chances of getting unique-sculpted creatures in the line such as Dobby, Kreacher, Buckbeak and so forth in any form?

 

[BetterThanKenobi83]

Questions for Star Ace if possible to be asked -

1. Will we see the rest of the Weasley kids or their parents ? Need that Prefect Percy Weasley.

2. Any chance of an Oliver Wood figure with the flight stand or with the Quidditch Keeper Hoop ?

3. Any chance of a clothing pack to be released ? So instead of releasing a whole figure to get a certain look or movie look out you just put out the clothes and necessary accessories.

 

[sherbert_lemon]

My questions for Star Ace

Can we expect to see some minor adult characters like Umbridge, Slughorn and maybe Rita Skeeter (her costumes are amazing)

When can we expect to see Minerva McGonagall?

Any chance of seeing some muggles - Aunt Pertunia and Uncle Vernon?

 

[HAL9000.]

Will they be doing any more classic figures?

If so, can they share any that may be coming up?

 

[WWEJedi]

Loving these questions. Looking forward to the podcast!

My question to Star Ace:

There were teasers for the QUEEN license; when will Freddie M be released and will there be other music ICONS like David Bowie in the works for the future?
