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

[the whale]

For me it's a toss up between Dx sparrow and 89 Bats

DX Sparrow and Bespin Luke for me! Two of the best figures I own!

 

[cplhicks]

Old Jackie boy wins for over all tailoring, sculpt, dio and accessories.

Savvy?

 

[BrooklynWolf X]

Lots of great answers here fellas.

It's hard for me to pick to be honest, despite the fact that I started this thread. But if I really had to pick, it'd have to be jack sparrow as well. While complexity shouldn't determine whether a figure is the best, it's complexity DOES push it to the top for me. Although the dx12 is my personal fav, the dx06 pushes the medium to a whole other level. Sculpting, pers, accessories, overall design.

I'm still amazed that with so many layers, he doesn't look bulky.

Noland....

Godfather, the HS and paint aps still stand to this day. They even painted the fingernails. The MMS 90-100 range has some of their best work in my opinion.

I just amended my post three times before submitting it.

Too many amazing figures to really narrow it down, but I think the classic licenses are really the pinnacle.

DX06 Sparrow
Iron Monger
DX12 Batman (with Wayne sculpt)

The detail in all of these figs catch any casual observers.

 

[The Entity]

Captain Jack Sparrow DX.
Hands down the most realistic and detailed figure in my collection!

 

[Raymond F.]

A figure/line you know would turn a bi-curious collector take notice and start their own HT collection.

I dunno maybe the Octopus from the Spirit? He looks like he swings both ways?

If you want amazing detail and engineering, you'd also have to consider the t-800 endoskeleton. Movable pistons in the shoulders, neck, legs, arms, waist, etc...-Even the fingers and toes move! Probably the most detailed and articulated robotic figure ever made.

 

[CHUYHA85]

For me its the DC line with Supes Reeve and Batman 89 long wanted licenses since a long time.

 

[Kiva]

Jack sparrow is the best (but it DOES have some flaws!)

As a line in general, any line that has Predators in it. Well, it used to be. These days its Marvel and DC. But i realllllly see them as a flash in the pan. With every figure that comes out you get the sense it will be out dated in 6 months by either the source material not being good enough to stay in peoples minds beyond half a year or HT will re-visit it with an upgraded version or variant of the figure.

Keaton Batman

 

[bigpig]

this.
No gimmicks, just awesome sculpts and gear

DX11 joker based on the proto pics

Not even close, 3A are the kings of robot figures, the Real Steel Ambush looks to be far more technically impressives with it's articulation and moving parts.

How can make that assertion if the figure isn't even out yet?

 

[SideshoMel]

It seems as though Jack Sparrow DX has been mentioned in most of the comments in this thread. I hope one day Hot Toys will make another figure mostly everybody will agree upon other than Sparrow DX.

Because the T800 was released years ago. Unless you mean the 1/4 one
