Hot Toys is trying to win #SDCC2014 early
If there was a mic available at San Diego Comic Con, a Hot Toys would have picked it up, showed off the awesome slate of upcoming releases and dropped the mic to a standing ovation. Yep, they brought it that big on preview night alone and that didn’t include even one Star Wars figure, which they announced full access to “Episodes 1-7.” Let’s take a look at some of the goodness.
An “Alien” Ripley and an “Aliens” Ripley with Power Loader?
A “Batman Returns” Batman? And scores of “The Dark Knight Rises” figures including Blake and Commissioner Gordon?
Not to mention a legion of “Iron Man 3” figures and our first “live” look at “Guardians of the Galaxy” figures? Yeah, Hot Toys has SDCC2014 on lock right about now.
Jeff you are right my man, Hot Toys do indeed have SDCC on lockdown. This is arguably their strongest showing yet, I’ve seen a few pieces I know I will be getting. I’m slowing down on Hot Toys, not stopping but scaling back a little and picking and choosing more wisely. I already have quite a few figures on PO and I might have to cancel a few to make room for some of these upcoming masterpieces.
Which ones grabbed your attention, Fred?
IM Mark 3, Both Ellen Ripley figures, battle damaged Robocop, Ancient Pred, Bank Robber Joker, BTTF and the GOTG line.
I’m hoping we get some word on the rest of the Colonial Marines. Besides SW and Marvel heroes, Aliens could be another surefire HT purchase for me.
