What Figure(s) would you like to see revisited by Hot Toys?

[Sidewinder]

T1 Kyle Reese
T2 Sarah Connor with a better headsculpt.
T-1000 just because I missed out and it's too expensive now. Plus extra parts are hard to come by to make an extra figure.
Godfather - too expensive on secondary market.

 

[pturtle]

First Class Professor X for sure.

 

[BatBrain]

BR Penguin and Catwoman
Colonial marines 2.0

Would still like a Ra's Al Ghul.

 

[lordregnis]

id like to see some new pirates of the caribbean figures

 

[P.]

Star Wars and Iron Man. too long already without a revisit.

 

[dominishin]

give us freakin' dutch 2.0

 

[a-dev]

Aliens Corporal Hicks - to me he's a no-brainer. One of Hot Toys earliest figures which used to (perhaps still does) go for huge money on the aftermarket. And there's huge scope for improvement over the original figure in giving it an actual Michael Biehn likeness, a modern slim muscle body, modern tailored clothes, a working shoulder lamp etc. An armoured soldier with cool guns and the Aliens name, I don't see how that doesn't sell at least as well as the Alien itself....unless even the Alien bombs in which case Hot Toys might aswell throw out all licenses other than Star Wars and MCU.

give us freakin' dutch 2.0

after MMS238, Commando and Gynysys TLJ headsculpt nightmares HT should never try to make anything Schwarzenegger-related.
because the fourth time will unleash hell on earth.

 

[darthkush]

All the Rocky characters because they're expensive and not that great looking to be honest.

I'm not a fan of reissues of recent figures from 3-4 years only because many of those figures had large runs to begin with, it's kind of a slap in the face and takes the air out of collecting, and it seems to be selective based on what's selling for the highest prices in the secondary, not to mention it's mostly Marvel and DC based. However I do think reissuing figures made 5+ years ago is not a bad idea because most of those figures had comparatively low runs and the 1:6 hobby has grown significantly, so I think it will bring in more collectors and improve values in the long run. Also sculpting and production quality has improved quite a bit. I also don't like straight reissues, but improved new versions and line expansions.

My top reissues/expansions would be:

• ROCKY-- I bought these on the secondary for just south of $300+/ea but sold the Ivan Drago due to the ridiculous size and poor sculpt. Rocky (I, II, III, Street clothes, Creed), Apollo (I, III), Clubber Lang (III), Drago (IV), Adonis (Creed) -- regular and fight damaged portraits with better likenesses (although Clubber is quite good), improved bodies at correct size (Apollo/Clubber were good, but Rocky was wrong height and build, Drago was 7' tall scale when character was supposed to be 6'5"). There have been rumors of Blitzway and Storm Toys possibly having this license. It would be great to see these from either company, although would prefer Blitzway if they were to do the full lineup, but the company doesn't have a track record of producing multiple figures in a year.
• TERMINATOR -- chrome diecast T-800 with light-up eyes. T-1000. Expand line with Sara Connor with real hair and Kyle Reece from T1, light-up chrome diecast TX endo from T3, and Cameron with real hair and alt damaged portrait and upper torso from TV series.
• HELLBOY -- with improved body and outfit materials (I never bought this in the secondary because of stories of breakage and flaking pants and wetsuit). Abe Sapien (original head sculpt was too big and body seemed too thick, or maybe Hellboy was too small and thin in upper body). While the characters are about right height wise, I'd prefer Hellboy to be a little taller. Would also like to see Liz, Kroenen, Krauss, Nuadu and Nuala figures.
• EDWARD SCISSORHANDS -- improved likeness, paint and real hair.
• MAN OF STEEL -- not 5+ years old but release was off IMO. Reissue on standard Hot Toys superhero scale (i.e. Reeve Superman and Captain America size). DX version with improved head sculpt, alt portrait with light up heat vision eyes, corrected neckline and cape, and 2nd body with black suit.
• SUPERMAN 1978 -- Brando Jor-El (especially if HT ever decided to do Zod and Ursa, otherwise give up the license)
• POTC -- Davy Jones since the run was pretty small and there's is no way I'd pay $800-$1K. I'd also like to see Barbossa, Will Turner (improved sculpt, rooted hair, correct body type and metal swords--had it sold it), Elizabeth Swann (improved likeness, rooted hair and CotBP Victorian gown--considered the AWE version but sculpt and hair were not great)
• ALIEN/ALIENS-- From Aliens: Dallas and Kane with both space suits and station outfits, + Parker with severed Ash head, Big Chap. From Aliens: New and improved Ripley with real hair separate or with Power Loader; Hicks, Apone, Hudson, Vasquez, Drake + Bishop, Frost and Newt. Improved head sculpts, paint jobs and bodies. Bishop should come with dissected alien an alien in clear jar and extra half body. And of course the long hoped for Alien Queen w/eggs ($750-$800 range max). Would also be cool to see HT do an Alien King concept piece.
• PREDATOR/PREDATORS-- Dutch with improved and correctly sized head sculpt and paint (I have the original but sold the pinhead and had another repainted. Should come with extra gear and weapons to justify re-release. Expand to include Dillon, Blain, Mac and mud-covered Dutch from P1, Harrigan from P2, Isabelle from Predators and a concept She-Predator. Also, I think the sizing might be slightly off for either the Predator or Super Predators (possibly both).
• THE MATRIX -- Yes HT has/had the license. Imagine what they could do now. Expand the line with Neo (I, II), Morpheus (II), Trinity (I, II), Smith, Ghost Twins, Niobe, Persephone, Merovingian). I know those last three are pushing it.
• IRON MAN -- As if there aren't enough. MK-I diecast, MK-V diecast, Hulkbuster diecast (I know it's not released yet, but if they are going to do one I'd like to know before dropping $900 on a regular. I'd rather spend the extra $300-$400 and get the upgrade).

I doubt HT would reissue figures and expand the lines licenses like Matrix, Hellboy, and possibly Alien/s. In which case it would be great if they either let someone else take a crack, opened another division for their b-string licenses, or shared the license with a smaller company and took a cut.

Blade. This was gone before I bought my first 1:6 figure and I think it looks pretty good.
Main reason for wanting it out again is personal. Haha!!

A mate was in HK recently and came across it. Reasonable price too. So he gets two of them. So far so good.
Anyway, instead of bringing it into me, he tells me he's going to flip it on eBay !!! Shock!!!

 

[magmax]

Ironman all of them. We haven't had enough of them yet!!

Seriously we need a new Dutch and hot toys don't just repainted the John matrix head sculpt because that just doesn't work I've tried it and it still looks nothing like him!
As already said Rambo, rocky and Neo oh and a new clean t800 which looks like him with the glasses on and off!
And an obi one that looks like Alec Guinness in Star Wars ( amazing head sculpt but not of Alec)
Billy from predator would be good as well

 

[EVILFACE]

Iron Man Mark VI

 

[griff]

I'd like to see another Brando Jor-El figure but with the black outfit.

Yes, I would love a new Jor-El and also an updated Brandon Routh superman.

 

[RIDDICK]

Rambo "First Blood"
Reeve Superman
ALIENS - Drake
Watchmen - The Comedian

 

[Johnny Utah]

HT posted there'll be more SW from them soon. Must be trying to gather hype for SDCC. A great showing for them SW wise to me would be a Bespin lineup of Han, Leia, Luke, Lando and Vader, with ROTJ Luke and Emperor thown in for good measure.

Nlow that they've nailed old Harrison's likeness, I hope they do right by 1980 Harrison.

 

[bunnyfreakz]

Davy Jones

Rocky Balboa, Ivan Drago & Clubber Lang

Bruce Lee Enter The Dragon

 

[Johnny Utah]

I see a lot of requests for Stallone. At this point, I think it's a matter of when, not if.

 

[EVILFACE]

Rambo 4 was a nobrainer. I'm sure everyone would take Rambo over 2 Barnies.
