WHAT AM I MISSING? Why doesn't Hot Toys have the Pulp Fiction License?

[facemaker]

Why are the cool ideas fading by the wayside? Sure Robocop is coming next year, but thats a re-release anyway and not really a new idea.

Where's Pulp Fiction???
Who wouldnt want a Jules 1/6 figure? That would sell out easily.


I dont want to hear about Iron Man and thats all they care about right now because profit. There is a 100% chance of success and a full sell out with a Jules figure and if business is about profit, then delaying or sitting on a fail proof idea merits no logic.

Hopefully somebody realizes the niche within this market again and produces something that feels cool again.

Accessories to include:
Briefcase
.45 pistol
Switch out angry sculpt
Bad mofo wallet
Gold chain
cash

She's OK I guess, but I don't know whether I'd want a figure of her.

 

[ProgMatinee]

What you're missing is that its 2013 not 2003.

Seriously what gives? I want my Jewel figure but not as much as my Paula Cole figure

 

[EVILFACE]

Jewel?????

 

[New_Kryptonian]

There was no "Jewels" that I remember... but Samuel L. Jackson played a character named "Jules".

Dont know either but 5 ft chics is where its at.

 

[lerath666]

same reason no inception figures.

" a series of normal guys in suits is boring"

 

[siquisiri]

Theyre too busy making iron man, avengers, and batman figs. Get used to it, lol

 

[NASEDO]

Its the same reason why Django Unchained Figures will not get made. The movie uses the N-Word.

 

[darth]

They don't want to make them.

 

[siquisiri]

look at the customs section. Raiman made these. Too expensive?, by the sculpts and bash the body and suits.

I'd pay a couple hundred bucks for a PF set from HT. All well and good to go the custom route, but it's obviously an expensive way to go, even as a bash. You can spend a couple hundred bucks only to have a sculpt, body and poor quality suit in your hands.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Anyone think Beatrix Kiddo would've sold better than Lone Ranget Tonto and Crow.

It's gotta be bigger in Japan than both of those.

same reason no inception figures.

I'm still trying to figure out why people always want high end figures of things that don't need them. Static characters, celebrities, politicians, etc... What will you do with $200 Pulp Fiction figures? It's two guys in suits with funny looking hair. You'll have them do the famous gun pose and then that's it. These kinds of things don't need figures or at the least they should be at the bottom of the tiers. This is what overpriced circlejerking customs are for, like the Rainman stuff. Some licenses should just be enjoyed as the license. Watch Pulp Fiction and have a poster in your room.

There's a reason Hot Toys hates doing guys in suits and would rather do action movie blockbusters. It's because not only do those sell, but they actually lend themselves to poseable figures. I could see Pulp Fiction as a dio statue made by Sideshow that's mixed media and has them in the iconic pose, but nothing more.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

They're iconic.

Besides they will be doing Banner which is almost the same as a guy in a suit

And the answer is to have some prickly goofy colorful looking thing from 2 second screen time from a crappy movie like Iron Man 3? Just because it can look as stupid "posed" in 29 different positions?

Your argument is totally biased, unfounded and defies the very principal of collecting at it's core.
