Hot Toys : The Crow ( Brandon Lee ) Sixth Scale Figure

[GuruAskew]

"Action figure" is nothing but a marketing euphemism for "doll" coined to avoid feminine connotations. Furthermore it was coined to apply to a clothed and articulated 12-inch figure which is exactly what we're talking about here. It's a doll. It's an action figure. It's a high-end collectible. Semantics.

No problem at all some people need to get smacked some sense. Like really. So good discussion. Now back on track to the amazing/ Kick *** figure!

Wake up..

This thread is suppose to be a tribute to Brandon so lets get back on TOPIC and praise the work Hot Toys has done with the newest release of an amazing likeness to the man himself.

Paint some red targets on his cheeks, sit him on a trike, & it's the puppet from 'Saw'..

Back to the lovely HT figure though - I'm really keen to see some hi-res shots of the guitar!

I'm gonna buy the **** outta this $200 doll. Can't wait to add it to my toy collection.

create a thread to fight about dolls / action figures / statues. Many of us are excited about finally getting this figure regardless what it's called.

I thought this was a Crow figure thread......

 

[GuruAskew]

I actually do agree that we should get back to talking about this new toy Crow doll that's coming out.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I posted some nice box art suggestions too..

People - PLEASE!!!!

Guys... do I really have to believe that none of you know the difference between dolls and action figures? Come on...!

I thought this was a Crow figure thread......

It used to be...

 

[GuruAskew]

There is no difference. It's a semantics argument.

People - PLEASE!!!!

I'd like something involving this.

There is no difference. It's a semantics argument.

Let's agree to disagree then, and go back at talking about The Crow COLLECTIBLE... whether it resembles a doll or an action figure.

It's not a matter of disagreeing or agreeing because its a matter of fact, not opinion.

The term "action figure" was coined by Hasbro to sell dolls to boys. That is beyond debate. Whatever Hot Toys is calling their action figures is just an extension of that euphemistic rebranding.
