The Hottoycast: The new High-End Collectable Podcast

[Josette]

I’d like to have an update on Sam and Castiel from Supernatural.

 

[greatlakes6]

Some information on why the change from the great Sulu sculpt to the new, much less impressive, weird smile, puffy lips look.

 

[Eamon]

Cool guys, keep em coming.

1. What is the likelihood that there will be any new Star Trek lines outside of TOS and TNG?
2. Can QMX weigh in on the rumors of a potential re-release of the Kirk and Spock 1/6 scale figures?
3. I do not expect an answer to this but just to throw it out there the groundbreaking series Farscape turned 20 this year and was just added to the Amazon Prime streaming line up which will introduce it to new fans...with Star Trek and Firefly already under their belts...Farscape and QMX seem like a great match. Any chance of this happening?

 

[Drake]

Has the collar staining issue that so badly affected the Picard release been conclusively solved so that it won't be a recurring issue with future TNG and similarly uniformed Star Trek figures going forward?

Does the QMX Star Trek license cover the upcoming Picard tv show as well?

Cheers.

1. Can you please make the trio from Jaws? I know you tried before. Next year is the 45th anniversary.
2. Any interest in Tombstone with Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday?

 

[Eamon]

These are great chaps. I will be putting together all the questions later on monday maybe tuesday so you have until then to ask your questions.

 

[Brett Banner]

Love the podcast, Eamon. My questions:

- What’s the status of the other Firefly figures?
- Also there was a rumor floating around a while back of them tackling figures for the 2003 Battlestar Galactica series, is that something that could ever see the light of day?

Would also be interesting to hear about how their approach/plans have changed since they jumped into making 1/6 figures and what they’ve learned about the process. For example, seemed like they had lots of Firefly and Trek figures planned but actual production has been super slow.

Just glad you guys are back. Binge listened to most of your episodes over the last few months but was getting worried at the long break between episodes!

 

[Eamon]

Thanks lads. Those questions have been sent in now to QMX so hopefully they will come on to answer those. We also have Big Chief coming on so by all means please post your questions here.

As for why there's been such a delay...well if anyone hear follows me on social media, they will know that I have been doing a lot of action figure designing lately. This increased work load along Mike and Jeff with their families can make things difficult. I also wanted to get multiple guests on this next one (50th one) so it's just been a bit slow.

I have toyed with the idea of doing a 'mini cast' inbetween episodes of the main podcast and it focus around regular action figures. With all the work I do and all the wonderful new industry folks I have met and become friends with it could be a cool 30min thing. Again it's just finding the time to edit it. I like to add pictures to the podcast and this adds even more time. I'm also trying to get a movie made so yeah...time is in short supply.

Thrilled to hear the guys from Big Chief are coming on. A few questions from me:

1. Does your license for Gerry Anderson figures cover just Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet? What are our chances of seeing anyone from any of his other shows?

2. Three launches in - What have been the lessons learned along the way with the new LaunchPad model?

3. Is Captain Jack Harkness still in the pipeline for Doctor Who? It’s been a while since we last saw him on display.

4. With the success of Parker, is Lady Penelope still planned to hit Launch Pad later this year? If yes, will there be any changes to the prototype?

5. Any teasers for we have next in the pipeline for Doctor Who or the Gerry Anderson shows?

Great questions, thanks. All added to the list.

We got Chronicle Collectibles coming on for a extensive chat. If you guys have any questions, please post them below.

 

[Rotfish]

Just two questions: will there be both standard and war paint versions of 1/6 Conan? Will we get a figure of Thulsa Doom as well?

 

[levitation]

Since Chronicle is bringing back the 1/6 figures they showed a few years ago, can we expect the return of the 1/6 Owen Grady and Ragnar Lodbrok previously displayed at SDCC?

 

[Eamon]

Good questions lads. Keep em coming.

 

[TheRiddler32?]

Is the Grant and Raptor as deep into that fandom that you’ll be going or can we hope for an Ellie, Ian, Dilophosaurus?

 

[John Atreides]

Since Chronicle has a relationship with Universal, can they please produce JAWS 1/6 figures since Chronicle just announced Jurassic 1/6? Shark City Ozark is set to release up to 300 53" Bruce sharks....they need some eats!

Same question.

Not saying CC needs to dig deep with figures for the blood sucking lawyer or clever girl, but hope they at least produce the main cast (Ellie, Ian, Hammond, etc). Mosquito in amber cane accessory!

Assuming Newman, Sam Jackson, 2-pack for the Hammond grandkids or anything massive (like the Veggiesaurus or Jeep) are not part of their plans due to sheer size and price.

When?s the podcast scheduled to release?
