C_U_SPACECOWBOY Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 I've got a friend who is a SERIOUS collector, and one of his recent poisons are these Hot Toys Adult Collectable figures. Typically they run about 150 to 200 bucks a piece, but the detail and articulation are INSANE. I think Logan recently posted the upcoming Avengers Hawkeye (prompting Panch to get on my case again about making the tread), and I think Hakus said he has the Joker one (Nice!) If you've never seen them before, then you no doubt will scoff at the price tag but take a look at some of these: Batman and Joker come in multiple flavors: Man, how awesome would it be to have the full Avengers team?? Their site is currently under construction but I believe they use some kind of voodoo magic (unconfirmed) to achieve the crazy level of detail.
C_U_SPACECOWBOY Posted April 8, 2012 Author Posted April 8, 2012 Go ahead, show 'em your favorite LMAO!! Since you asked for it.......BOOM!
The NZA Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 goddamn. usually the figures on this tier (price-wise) strike me as rare but not worth it, these are nice though. Panch & I used to be into figures in the day, and for like decades it seemed Marvel was stuck with Toy Biz's low-detail stuff, while McFarlane was stepping it up (except for accessories, which rarely fit for me) and became the master of making cool figures for stuff i didn't give a fuck about, for the most part. but both low and high end figures, 90%+ of the time, it's the facial details that throw me off - either they look plain or distinctly like someone other than they're supposed to. ive never seen such attention to facial detail, really impressed here.
Thelogan Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Really, the Scar-Jo one is the only one that's "off" for me. She looks like a sex doll, and nothing like Scarlet Johanson. I also find myself a little disturbed by the interchangeable Bat-Mouths. Cool as shit though, it's really all about the faces for me. Some really amazing stuff going on here. I will own one of these someday.
Mr. Hakujin Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Yeah, if I had the cash (and display room) I'd upgrade from buying the collectible 3 & 6 inch figs to the HOT Toys (There's a bad size joke in there somehwere waiting to be troll'd.) I bought the Heath Ledger TDK Joker a year or so back as a kind of impulse buy, and now I kind of regret it. While it's a fuckin' sweet collectible, he just stands out in an odd way in my collection. I wish I could afford to have it displayed alongside the 1989 Burton Batman & Joker. The Downey Iron Man and Sam Jackson Fury would also be at the top of my wish list if I were to ever be able to seriously get into collectiong the HOT Toys.
Mr. Hakujin Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 This is just awesome. Someone finally fucked Justin bieber up! Oh, wait...
Mr. Hakujin Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 It'd almost be worth it to buy this Coulson figure for Panch to watch him have to sell and intake various bodily fluids in order to complete the entire Avengers Movie Universe line from Hot Toys.
