Hot Toys 2012 Toy Fair/Sideshow Exclusive Discussion

[Science Friction]

A Terminator exclusive would be cool, as would Ra's Al Ghul. As long as the Chris Evan's head sculpt looks good I'll be happy enough.

I know, man.. I know
I'd buy Ex Preds even despite the Tsang's intrusion if they were AvP2-game characters.

Heh, we're pretty much HT's target audience. As long as there are people like us, Howard Chan has no reason to worry.

What were the rumours this time last year? Were there any heads up so to speak that a gunmetal grey Mark IV, Batman Begins and Shadow Pred were on the way?

Not until July, I'm afraid. Then again, that's because those particular figures (the Batman and Predator, at least) didn't make it in time for SDCC.

 

[Kiva]

It is bound to be - Cap America, Lost Pred (whats the chances of it NOT being a lost pred?!) and maybe a 17th Iron Man repaint.

Though id love something really random like we finally get Magneto or Ada Wong. Though i cant see them releasing a main character like Magneto in such a way. Maybe the new wolverine.

If sneaking suit Snake was already out id say it would be a good reason to pump out another outfit variant.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

The stealth iron man could be a possibility.

 

[Buttmunch]

I doubt HT having more than 1 Marvel exclusive. Likely 1 Marvel, 1 Batman, and 1 something else (predator/left field?).

I hope not. I'd rather see USO Cap, Commissioner Gordon, Ra's Al Ghul, or something more interesting. Not that stealth Iron Man isn't cool, but Iron Man is hitting heavy right now as it is, and it won't let up any time soon with IM3 next year.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

I doubt HT having more than 1 Marvel exclusive. Likely 1 Marvel, 1 Batman, and 1 something else (predator/left field?).

In that case I'm going with Cap,Angelica, and a Nicholson Joker variant.

Im guessing it will be something completely original, like a Iron Man mk I 3.o

We don't appreciate your rational logic here mister.

 

[JAROTO]

A Predator is a shure bet, it's been done in the last two years.Not sure about the others.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Considering they've become more mainstream toys and less collectibles, i could see them doing 4 show exclusives from now on

Yet their pricing is going the opposite way. Which is another reason I expect they'll do more exclusives.

Angelica from PotC might be a good choice. I don't think HT females have typically sold particularly well so the runs are relatively low which is why the fetch a good penny in the aftermarket. This will probably not be the case with Black Widow of course. With Angelica, they'd be better hedging their bets. Some folks will want her because she's a PotC character, and others will want her because she's an exclusive, so there is a better chance of selling twice as many. However if HT really wanted to make my day, they'd do a Neytiri EX.

could be possible

 

[hrambo001]

The more I think about it the more I feel that I would probably pull the trigger on an Angelica. If done great it would be a great companion piece to Capt Jack.

I'm also in for the USO/rescue version Cap. America. Passing on the Avengers one since I think it's too similar to the original costume, but the Rescue version is deffinitely unique enough.

No to another lost predator. Just have too many.

 

[RagingBull]

I'll buy a lost Predator but nothing else

 

[Rzeznikk]

So what the tally on these exclusives? How many will there be 2, 3?

So far the for sure one is USO Captain America

Then theres likely candidates from Angelica of POTC, a Batman Exclusive? Iron Man Exclusive? Predator exclusive? Even others randomly guessing Robocop? DX01 2.0 being the Exclusive....

What else has been rumored??

 

[Science Friction]

Rescue Cap is for sure, USO Cap.. no clue. As for the rest, I don't think anything has really made it past the rumor mill.

 

[spindrift]

Angelica likely cause I don't see HT interested in POTC license anymore....Cannibal Jack will be a DX so.....

 

[spindrift]

Around the time of DKR release so hopefully something Nolanisque.......
