Which HT figure/line do you consider to be their crowning achievement?

[BrooklynWolf X]

I know it's extremely early to tell, considering how they're still growing as a company with many many more franchises to come. By TO DATE, what would you consider to be the companies crowning achievement? A figure/line you know would turn a bi-curious collector take notice and start their own HT collection. A figure/line you go to first when showing your friends/family how awesome this collection of yours is.

Quite possibly the Keaton Batman. Very iconic and very well executed.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Keaton. Hands down, the finest figure I have ever owned. Probably ever will own, unless they make McClane or Neo. Just from a sheer design standpoint and the fact that it's a Grail and a truly sentimental figure.

I would probably lean toward Jack Sparrow DX right now. I wasn't initially sold on the likeness there, but it has really grown on me in-hand. Knowing how hit-and-miss PERS likenesses are, that is no small feat. But the real draw of that figure is the detail and accessories. Tailoring is great, a fantastic overall package with the diorama and box, so many display options, a fantastic release overall. Not my favorite figure, but probably the most jaw-dropping HT figure.

 

[EVILFACE]

Agree with K80. The detail on Sparrow is amazing.

 

[Hellion]

As a line I'd say Predator. I know alot of people have thier issues with accuracy and all but the Preds made HT what they are.
Also even though only a few figures have been released so far The Avengers line looks like it has alot of potential, the sheer number of characters they have scheduled for release is amazing! If a person is collecting that line they are gonna wind up with quite a few shelves full of the characters.

HT's military line.

without that, i dont think the MMS line would be in fruition.lolz

Deluxe Jack Sparrow.

Having previously owned the Medicom version of the character as well as the first 2 Hot Toys attempts and been disappointed by the likenesses it was very satisfying to see HT nail Johnny Depp's likeness TWICE on their latest attempt.

For varying reasons I'd been out of HT collecting for a few years and the Deluxe version of Jack was the figure that really caught my attention again and aside from a partially damaged box I wasn't disappointed when it arrived as the overall package is incredible.

 

[Hydeous]

Iron man suits IMO, especially the mark I.

Although when my cousins came by last week, they were really in awe with the size and massiveness of the tumbler.

 

[spyder]

Probably the Predator line, with the Iron Man line in close second place.

 

[JefftheCollector]

I think their terminator lineup is pretty good.

 

[Rzeznikk]

I would say these deserve to be in the top 3:

DX Jack Sparrow
DX 1989 Batman
CR Superman

And an honorable mentions go out to DX Bruce Lee and DX Luke Skywalker

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Jack Sparrow DX or Jake Sully

 

[lerath666]

dx sparrow. while superman and keaton bats are equally amazing, Both superman and batman costumes are fairly simple, and easy to get right. sparrow, with his layers of clothing that manage not to look bulky, and complicated outfit is their best figure to date.

 

[karamazov80]

I would not say that Superman was easy to get right. He's been done a whole lot of wrong over the years, and I think HT really nailed it with Reeve, minus a few QC issues. But the simplicity of the costume is what holds it back from being a real "crowning achievement" to my eyes. Sparrow really shows off a number of HT's strengths.

 

[theWolvesBlood6]

I already have all the must haves... First Joker 2.0.
Then Hulk!!!

Not only that but Keaton doesn't even have a fully sculpted face, it's just his jaw and mouth. That can't be compared to a full head sculpt.

The trouble they've had getting Nolan's cowls right suggests otherwise

Jack sparrow gets my vote.

 

[shells075]

DX = Jack Sparrow
MMS = Blade

 

[SAB]

Jack Sparrow definitely.
