Their teases are very odd. Sometimes you never hear anything again, or months later the figure will pop up for preorder. They would deter competition if they announced the product right then and there like when the Loki show ended or shortly thereafter. Except it was months later.
Yeah Doc was featured in those early trailers, so I figured he would be first. With all of those obvious teasers, it would be very disappointing if we got nothing this week. Two Spider events and nothing but cosbabies.
They throw together teasers sometimes when companies like SooSoo Toys put a good figure out. I doubt Classic Loki gets made and expect HT to tease Bloodsport and others soon, then never release them.
When was the last time though that Hot Toys posted one of those from-the-neck-down prototype promotional images as a teaser and didn't follow up with an actual pre-order?
There's no way they don't make Toby and Andrew right? I mean, gotta be a huge money grab. I would also say the longer they wait to show them and put them up for PO the more folks will move on to something else. Missed opportunity if there's not still some sort of embargo on showing them...
That comic War Machine with the clear plastic. That line ended with a one and done comic Iron Man with the yellowing plastic around the torso.

Ah yes, that War Machine thank you. I'm intentionally excluding figures here that were shown as prototypes at events or appeared as supporting figures in someone else's promo photos, or "coming soon" teasers like the Matrix that are just the movie logo or poster and not actual product. But that comic war machine fits the bill.
If they do a figure of that (whose only appearance in the film was this still frame), then it's going to be a long-ass wait for a figure of Goblin as he actually appeared in the film. So I'm hoping they just skip this one.Even if they do make Tobey and Andrew, I can see them taking a while to announce them due to having to get approval for their likeness on the sculpts.
I imagine that's the biggest hurdle Hot Toys has to deal with when it comes to getting figures out. The constant back and forth with getting approvals probably delays a lot of figures as Howard has mentioned in the past.
Lets say they even go as far to make Goblin, Doc Ock, Tobey and Garfield. That's FOUR likeness sculpts that they need to get approval for before they can announce anything.
It's why I wouldn't be surprised if they pumped out a Raimi Goblin costume first since that version requires zero likeness due to the helmet.
I hope they skip it as well since I actually like his final main look but just looking at Hot Toys track record, they do like to avoid doing likeness sculpts when possible so that they don't need to put the time and resource into it.
Unfortunately, they didn't even Endgame the villains from Endgame... Would've loved a full HT Black Order set.
This is true . They revealed many things that never came out

I mean knowing Hot Toys and their love for being lazy and reusing stuff, they will probably just reuse the super old Spider-Man 3 base.
