Re: Hot Toys Superman

I e-mailed HT to thank them for this, and said I hoped they would make Michael Keaton next. They said they will work their hardest to make fans wishes come true. I really feel like it's around the corner.

That's actually very promising.

Not HT standard e-mail response of 'we will pass on your thoughts to our marketing team'.

Awesome.

Re: Hot Toys Superman

Your sig is awesome Snake. I changed my signature for Chris too. I remember growing up reading the comics, especially loving Alex Ross' artwork in the Justice series(the size of the S was too cool) and Superman just had that certain mystic, 'feels like home' quality to it. I love the Bat too, but Supes just has that certain oomph to it.

Here's exactly what I got back from HT:

Hello,

Thanks for your appreciation.
We will keep work hard on fulfilling our fans wishes.
Please keep to support Hot Toys and visit our official website to get most updated news!

Re: Hot Toys Superman

Cheers man, did my best without photoshop!!

That is a wonderful quote to use in yours. Completely agree too, Alex Ross is one of, if not my favourite. Such a wonderful style.


Cheers for sharing that. Sounds promising!

It'll be interesting to see if Hot Toys uses the right color blue for the suit.

They should have had BobbyC do the headsculpt, can you imagine what's going to happen if the likeness isn't 100%? This board will literally explode in a river of molten flame.

Re: Hot Toys Superman

I wonder what the "first-of-his-kind" statements means? Just poor translation or they doing something special with this Dx?

Re: Hot Toys Superman

A great big thank you to Hot Toys. I hope it's their best release yet. This is on my must buy list. I can't wait to see the prototype.

Best newsletter ever.

Re: Hot Toys Superman

I was never really into the superman thing guess it was because the burton movie was real popular when i was a kid, but anyways even though i wasnt a huge fan I cant wait for this figure to be fully revealed. It being a DX fig makes the possibilites limitless. After the T-1000 and all the accessories and that was just a regular MMS release,I can only imagine all the stuff that will be with this guy. It will definatly be a 2 in 1 and I hope the cape is poseable like the batman cape that came wih the batpod. After this I hope the Keaton bats is not too far off.

Re: Hot Toys Superman

After Arnie is done with Superman I hope he brings his Rocky to the table as well. I still think it's the best Rocky figure that's ever been made.

Best newsletter ever...

I disagree...

The best news letter we got was DX01 Joker...

Heath Ledger as Joker gave me chills down my spine... Thats something very few movies have ever done... Superman wasnt one of them... I know I know let the flames and haters begin...

But thats what I think...

Re: Hot Toys Superman

I'm not so interested in getting it myself but I am more then interested in seeing what they come up with.

I don't even remember that newsletter. I guess cause I already had 2 HT Jokers and I wasn't interested in HT bilking more $$$ out of me for another.

You have heard of Arnie Kim, right?
