That's pretty awesome!

Wow, that's nice, thanks for sharing.

Cool. On a minor bum note they used the DX10 to represent the Terminator franchise. DX13 would have been a better choice. Though at least it wasn't the MMS117 *shudders*

Cool, Thanks

One day, I'll meet someone IRL that knows what HT is.

Yeah seems like they shot this a little while back. No new Thor (which trounces that ridiculous Thor Avengers body), DX13, Armory update, etc.

 

[Darklord Dave]

They also show some Sideshow figures, but don't ever mention Sideshow.

Lol yeah, whenever I say to people I collect Hot Toys, they give me a puzzled look.

Very cool! Maybe they'll be more mainstream as time goes on, with exposure like this.

Funnily enough I was just watching a programme in England called "Celebrity Juice" that featured the Brad Pitt Aldo Raine doll,and one of the panellists commented on what agreat likeness it was saying she did not normally like dolls.

I'm beginning to understand what my SSC bashing feels like to fans of that company..

Great to see HT getting news coverage though - sweet.

Hot Toys? I saw a bunch of Sideshow figures and stuff not made by HT....WTF?

They also showed the DX1 Joker instead of the DX11

It's a cable news feature piece. Facts and accuracy sometimes slip through the cracks. It's geared toward the mainstream viewer who'll ooh and ahh over the "pretty dollies."

Of course, there was no escaping the "capture the soul of" cliché.

Still, nice find, Dave.

I hated it. I'm not a mainstream viewer, and I was technically "oohing and ahhing" over the Vito Corleone. It served as a stark reminder of my idiocy. I remember when that figure was still available, even after being released, on Sideshow, and I could kick myself. It's like "we get it, it's one of your best pieces. Stop rubbing the fact that we can't get it any more in our faces." Seriously, though, if ever there were a figure deserving of a re-release or a 2.0, that's the one. To this day, I think that's one of the greatest 1/6th figures ever made, and, if I ever hit the jackpot, it's one that I'd probably be willing to pay the secondary prices for.

Anyway, I didn't actually hate it. I thought it was pretty cool, actually. There's your validation if anyone ever asks why you waste your money. "Well, clearly it was a big enough waste to be featured on CNN."

I have CNN on all the time, how did I miss this?
