What should be the next Hot Toys DX figure?

[Rock83]

Two full figures would do it, Rocky 1 and Rocky 6, Rocky 1 with street clothes, training clothes and fight clothes would be pretty in depth, Rocky and Mickey 2 pack.

Mick won`t happen,but i would for sure love it.

Rocky Post fight,Training and Street Wear
Rocky 2 Pre-Fight with an extra Battle Damaged Head with Belt
Rocky 4 Outdoor Training with Beard
Rocky 6
Apollo Creed 1 or 2

I need these to ever be a 100% happy with my Rocky HT Collection,after all...we have only gotten 2 Rocky`s so far

Corporal Dwayne Hicks.

If a human character from the Alien series were going to get the DX treatment, I would assume it would be Ripley. Hicks was a side character in one of four movies ... not sure he'd as be high on the list as Ripley (the main character in all four).

[TCM Hitchhiker]

Planet of the Apes, Cornelius.

 

[MaulFan]

Doubt any Aliens or Predator humans other than Dutch would ever see DX treatment, Arnold's the only likeness rights they ever got and no one is paying DX prices for a figure without likeness rights.

I'm not sure the human characters from those movies would be popular enough to justify the price and production costs anyway. It'd be a little like making a DX Alan Grant instead of a Velociraptor -- why bother?

Planet of the Apes, Cornelius.

That would be amazing!!!

But would it have to be sculpted hair to get to the PERS device more readily?

 

[cerealkeller]

The Terminator T-800 from either Terminator or T2 would be my vote. I'm partial to T1 but they would probably do T2. Either way, Arnold Terminator DX would rock my world.

Hicks is very popular and many missed out on him the first go around, I think anyone wanting to see him is so they can get one period and not the upgrades, but I'm not sure how many would get him unless the head was pretty close to Biehn's likeness like the old head was, and even then I don't know, people seem to be more and more scrutinizing of likenesses these days.

First they'd need likeness rights, and that seems to be a problem with her.

HT is doing Terminator soon, so there won't be any DX version until they offer their regulars first and see how those sell.

But a DX T-800 PERS with one normal eye one red light-up eye would be pretty cool.

to everything said.

The Endo eyes are fixed though right, so the human eye moves the Endo stays still, that could be cool, but I'd rather the Endo eye light up and there's not enough room for PERS and lights in one head.

I also think we might see DX figures in future Terminator lines off the bat rather than down the line, they can't keep redoing figures as DX after first releases, it will eventually piss everyone off, and The Terminator and Terminator 2 are franchises where the reference has been around for years, it's not like TDK or even Iron Man where Hot Toys' haste in getting figures out results in not knowing all the details, the details have been there to be known for over 20 years, people will not accept shortcomings and upgrades on figures from these movies.

 

[Wor-Gar]

No, they move, remember T1 with that red eye always searching and focusing in.

Not sure they could do it, but a BD sculpt with normal + light-up eyes that are moveable would be pretty awesome.

 

[MaulFan]

Would be awesome, but also likely a $250 figure

 

[Wor-Gar]

Would be awesome, but also likely a $250 figure

HT is headed that way anyway.

A normal/BD combo with multiple sculpts and swappable distressed clothing plus all the battle gear he ever touched would give HT a fair excuse to raise prices again. Maybe even a two-figure set like DX Joker ultimately became.

At :20 and again at 2:30 the Endo's eyes do in fact move. Would it make a big difference to the look using PERS? No I don't think so but it would be a cool effect.

 

[MaulFan]

I couldn't remember, I remember the opening and closing of the red parts but I didn't remember if it ever moved or not, I think I remember more when it's Arnold and it never moved as a prosthetic on him.

To be honest its a subtle detail that only a few Terminator nerds can pick up

 

[MaulFan]

For some reason, I just couldn't remember it, I notice it in the movie because it's cool cinematography to zoom in on the eyes like they do, but I just couldn't remember it off the top of my head, goofy I know.

 

[holtrax]

simple arnie with all the gear included in the police station scene and replaceable endo head and body parts option



and bar this guy a John McClane figure from die hard 1.
