1/6 Hot Toys BW Movie Taskmaster

[MyenShi]

I’m pretty sure Far From Home released in China and that had the undead Iron Man.

There can be exceptions made by the Chinese movie review board if it’s a dream sequence or hallucination, which the FFH Iron Man scene falls under.

So there are movies made with ghosts, skeletons, undead, etc. with scenes tacked on at the end saying it was all just a bad dream.

And yes, the rules do seem arbitrary and capricious as these types of censorship laws tend to be.

Figure does look pretty good. Again Hot Toys really getting into their new weathering paint apps if you look closely.

 

[Malgus]

Considering how poorly some villains did I hope this sells well enough for hot toys to start making more bad guys.

 

[The Buffinator]

He looks pretty good. Are those vibranium claws that he’s sporting? Maybe Ayo & the Dora Milaje come after him too.

Will be preordering. Glad to see it’s actually getting released rather than getting the Yellowjacket treatment.

Is it a he? Figure certainly looks like it. I'll wait when the movie comes out to decide this one. Will the villain survive? Who is Taskmaster? Questions that I need answers for!

Wow, stunned to see HT is putting this up for preorder! Kinda makes me salty about Yellowjacket now...who looked vastly cooler, especially as a figure!

Anyways, I don't see this selling well, but I guess HT is hurting for new products now. I certainly won't be buying this anytime soon. Need to see the movie first before I make any decisions...and even then I still see this one being a shelf warmer that will go on sale later on.

So no urgency on my end!

$250 at Sideshow...

That's possible, but then again if he ends up being a breakout character and Marvel doesn't kill him off (there are whispers he could end up in a Thunderbolts movie or show), this could become the next Yondu.

I can just imagine Ryan Meinerding getting feedback from the CCP about his concept art.

Feige: Ryan, we have some changes for Taskmaster that the CCP would like you to do.
Ryan: Ok, what would they like?
Feige: Winnie says make the eye sockets look more like goggles.

$250 on Sideshow. Price is pretty damn good considering the new standard for most seem to be in the $280 area.

In order for it to be the next Yondu it needs an actor's likeness for the headsculpt and not a helmet for me.

The beauty of Yondu was how much of Michael Rooker was in that sculpt...it was insane!

With that kind of mindset and justification you've essentially given HT/SS free reign to price as absurdly as they want.

Also, why is it listed as 11.8 inches??? What a short figure! Must be a girl then.

Same height as Bucky, Falcon, Boba Fett, Jango Fett & The Mandalorian. In other words, he (or she lol) is standard size for a male HT figure.

Ah yes, 5’10”/5’11” is the average height for a woman.

Lmaoooo I got a good laugh out of this comment.

Lol I dunno man...I feel like all male HT these days are over 12 inches. Maybe my memory is skewed since I get a lot of Iron Man figs...also my latest Batman Beyond was quite tall.

Hopefully this guy or gal is a badass as i wouldn't mind adding it to the Marvel villain shelf.

Right. Because people complaining on Facebook and on this little forum is gonna make Hot Toys and Sideshow change their pricing on the figures.

It's not justifying anything. It's just the way things are and have been. Pricing have only gone up over time and will continue to do so. Seeing a $250 figure during these times is something you don't normally see is all.

Hot Toys has been pricing these absurdly for years and nothing is going to change that. These are nonessential luxuries like a $500 bottle of wine, $800 pair of sneakers or $3000 purse.
