SDCC 2019: Hot Toys & other companies news thread

[a-dev]

I would hope not. I mean I like the DX08 sculpt but I'd appreciate a new expression....inasmuch as that's possible with Nicholson's Joker

Oh and ideally with an alternate hairpiece so he doesn't permanently have hat-hair. Problem is that'd make it more frustrating that DX08 and 14 are stuck with the hat-hair.

I'd love for them to revisit the marines from Aliens. An updated Hicks figure would be amazing with today's quality standards.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I'd love a Jack Napier or a version of Joker wearing the skin-colour makeup. But, as always, expect nothing.

I'd rather get museum skin color Joker with a second messy make up "Boo!" sculpt.

The Gangster Joker we all wanted after the first HT Nicholson Joker appeared. 'memba?

That still would make an amazing figure, striped suit and shock buzzer!

Meh...cool suit, but you'd have to be a HUGE fan of that Joker to buy that version without the "joker look."

Perhaps hot toys might show this in celebration of the 1989 Batman movie[and also a 1/4 Batman...]

Does Sideshow run any sales during the week of SDCC?

If you want FO Stormtroopers, sure!

Yes, they've got a whole Comic-Con thing going on their site. They've given away 2 rewards codes also.

 

[Blackout124]

I’m thinking about preordering Captain Marvel, do you think there will be discount codes for Marvel?

 

[TripleCP]

I'd buy a skin-tone Nicholson Joker in a heartbeat. I think the museum look with a streaked makeup alternative sculpt would be my first choice (although I guess that's more or less the same outfit as the first release except for the beret) but I'd be in for a mobster one or a "reveal" Joker with a pre-disfigurement Jack Napier portrait, too.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

I’ll buy any version of Jack Joker they make. I think the mobster Joker would look especially cool next to a regular Joker.

And I agree about the hat hair and expressions. A little variety would be nice. I think the Mime sculpt actually works for a good alternative.

 

[Johnny Utah]

I don't think there will be any 89 stuff at SDCC. Prime 1 said the license has become a nightmare, Howard ****s on anniversaries, plus Nicholson asks for too much. I'd love to be wrong.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Yeah, I have no real hopes of seeing anything 89 related because of the anniversary. The fact that Mezco is making a Keaton Batman kinda gives me hope it may stir some embers under HT though. Maybe a little revised interest will get the ball rolling.

 

[spindrift]

Probably more Marvel stuff......I'm not holding my breath for unique or special...and if they do show something different won't get made anyway

 

[parrasmaniac]

As much as I like 1989 Batman, I am pretty satisfied with the releases: Nicholson Joker, Keaton Batman and Mime Joker were good choices IMHO.

I worked a bit in order to get an alternative Joker look, the museum look, in order to have more displaying options.

But I rather they release Catwoman and Penguin than more Nicholson Joker or Keaton Batman alternatives.

 

[bunnyfreakz]

Probably :

- Endgame Prof Hulk

- Endgame Thor

- Mantis

- Arkham Catwoman

- 1/4 Spiderman Homecoming

- Star Wars The Last Jedi

 

[xipotec]

You guys are so cute....

Its gonna be Marvel and SW only.

Maybe a token figure they never produce.

[P.]

the guy above you just confirmed that: SW an Marvel are the only things he expects.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Confirmed: nothing you want will be shown at SDCC

Time to start collecting the future: 1/12th scale

 

[LiLJawa]

Im more looking forward to what other companies like Blitzway might bring to the con rather than predictable Hot Toys

 

[MegaPrime33]

I want to see what Prime and XM are going to show off. And SSC for that matter.

Time to start collecting the future: 1/12th scale

I ditched that scale completely some time ago. There's plenty of cool stuff but they generally can't achieve what's possible in 1/6. At least not yet.
