Time to start collecting the future: 1/12th scale

I'll just call it quits. Only useful for vehicles and large monsters.

Re: SDCC 2019: What are you hoping to see?

My 1/6 (Hot Toys - or at least another pretty decent company) wishlist - most of them will probably NEVER happen, but hope springs eternal!

[...]

DX Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman
DX Danny Devito Penguin
Hot Toys DX Beetlejuice
Aliens Ripley in Powerloader
Something special for the 30th Anniversary of 89 Batman

I would buy the hell out of those. Never gonna happen.

Confirmed: nothing you want will be shown at SDCC

Time to start collecting the future: 1/12th scale

Nah. Oversized costumes and so-so headsculpts. The same can be said for HT but nothing gets people hyped or sets the boards alight like a new 1/6 HT figure.

Im more looking forward to what other companies like Blitzway might bring to the con rather than predictable Hot Toys

You mean like prototypes that go nowhere and cancelled preorder figures?

 

[Johnny Utah]

Sad but true. None of their 1/6 figures from last year are up for preorder.

I mean it's really absurd; I'm sure half of these companies don't have full time employees or anything and it makes it difficult to get off the ground. But what the hell were they doing for an entire year?

Sad but true. None of their 1/6 figures from last year are up for preorder.

Is Godfather 1/4 statue the only thing they showed that made release? The statue turned out really well, but man that was a lot of longshot prototypes that predictably went nowhere.

About a week to go before SDCC......

Y'know, ultimately I don't see this thread being used for SDCC pics. Not if people will have to search through numerous pages to find them.

The Gangster Joker we all wanted after the first HT Nicholson Joker appeared. 'memba?

That still would make an amazing figure, striped suit and shock buzzer!

I memba.

"Civilian pre-Joker"

Wonder what that was going to be. Jack Napier? Mob version? Who knows.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I memba.

The smilex commercial Joker with open mouth smile, sunglasses, chair and cardboard background would have been a great SDCC EX.

I hope we'll see HT (or any company for that matter) show us a proto of a 1/6 Joaquin phoenix Joker...I'd also love to see a Lynda carter WW in the works...

...and maybe we'll finally get to see the protos of HT TESB Solo and Lando...along with an update on their already touted 1/4 Stormtrooper

 

[SigitoSutasmano]

Would love to see Batman and Joker from Arkham Origins

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sadly, not sure if we'll ever know. Mime Joker didn't sell very well. And that license for Jack Nicholson must have expired many years ago now.

Whoever does have the reg HT Joker and Mime Joker, those are genuine 1/6th treasures -- not only some of HT's best work but of an actor that doesn't give much out in the way of merchandise.

Who's going to SDCC here? We need spies on the floor when booths are being set up on Wednesday night!

 

[MegaPrime33]

Definitely hoping and assuming we'll see a HT Mysterio.

 

[Travis Baumann]

I actually just got excited for the first 1/6th Court of the Dead figure. Looking forward to seeing it in person and hope they have more of that line in this scale to show.

So much gets shown for Marvel/Star Wars/DC now in 1/6th and very little seems to make it out. Sideshow had Skiff Guard Lando but nothing has materialized of that so it is almost just a display with the cool vehicles and some neat things to look at but I have severely curbed my expectations of getting any of it.

1/6 Mysterio
any 1/6 MCU Villain

1/4 Bane or new 1/6 MMS or DX bane

Other
Any new Disney live action 1/6 figure, not cosbaby etc
New 1/6 Keanu Reeve from any of his movies, strike while he is a global phenomenon, Keanu is the new Depp for hot toys or maybe 1/6 VGM cyberpunk

Wow - 0 for 14. Impressive! Thanks for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts.

Really looking forward to Thursday to see how far short Hot Toys falls of the wants in this thread. It's gonna be fun.
