This is why we keep this thread alive so more people like you can join our petition. We will not give up. I think HT reads these boards.

Sorry guy's, with all the new toy's arriving here this week I've let this one slip a bit...I'll send two emails tomorrow and say 12 Hail Mary's:monkey3

[Murderofcrows71]

I sent one, and only one. I have a feeling if they keep seeing the same people e-mailing over and over then the people that are new sending in requests for The Crow will be over looked or just deleted.

These guys are probably on HT's spam filter already. THey are talking to HT's trash mailbox. :lol dummys

HT's spam filter is less personal, and more polite.:D


This threads a bit of fun to raise awareness about a figure we'd like to see, not to start name calling between Freaks:peace

[Darthgothikus]

I know being called a "dummy" is hardly name calling, but it made me think... This thread has raise some very different opinions, all of which are valid.

Seems to me, most of the posters fall into one of three catagories;

1) Let's send loads of emails in the small chance that it might help get the figure made, while bumping this thread to give others an opportunity to discuss.

2) Emails are a waste of time, but it ain't hurtin' no-one.

3) Pestering HT repeatedly is detrimental to the cause and will result in the figure being delayed/not made.

Personally I fall into number one. Don't see there being any harm in it and who knows, it might help.

To all of you in group number two - Let's agree to differ, if this thread bugs you whenever it appears on page 1, ignore it. It'll soon drop back to page 3 where it has a small warm place it resides in most of the time!

To everyone in group three... Your concerns are more important. If I felt that way this thread would really annoy me. However in response I would like to point out that I have been sending emails via Hot Toys own feedback page on their website. Nowhere does it say "Only one email per person per topic" They are actively requesting feedback. We are giving it.
If anyone from Hot Toys would like to reply asking me (or anyone else) to stop, believe me I would immediately!

I'm well aware that the emails most likely end up in the junk, but if there is a chance they might get through and do some good and while there is no evidence to the opposite, as far as I'm aware, I see no harm in continuing.

These forums are great. I have a lot of fun posting and reading all your comments. At the end of the day I'd like to see a Crow figure made, but I'm not loosing any sleep over it!

Now, back to real world and working on Bank Holiday!:banghead Bye!!!!:grouphug

[Morbach]

I don't think we've sent enough to be in their spam mail. If we loaded them everyday with tons and tons then I see that happening. But we've sent maybe like 5 or 6 each over like 2 months? So I think they may think we're old news but I don't think they spammed us. Especially since we are getting new ppl to join and send e-mails.

[sixtus_56]

Who knows maybe one of the Important people over at Hot Toys will see one of the many e-mails in the spam folder and maybe that one will be the one that gets them to do it. Who knows crazyer things have happed. But its all in good fun, Its a dream figure on mine (ours) so can let this thread or hope fade away. :rock:rock:rock

[Morbach]

I know we'll get this figure. One of these days,maybe years later when it's done we'll look back and be like "remember that thread? they listened!" :lol :lol

[Murderofcrows71]

Not calling any names I just think we have a better chance of sending one or two e-mails a month instead of repeating it several times a week. For anyone who has ever worked in a customer service position, they know that if someone pesters them over and over for the same thing, sooner or later they begin to ignore it. It's kind of like the boy who cried wolf, several people keep repeatedly sending the same request. So the new people who might be the ones who get them to finally say "we better try and make this figure" get ignored. For Example; I'm sure someone out there is pestering a toy company over and over for a Greg Brady Johnny Bravo figure, and I'm sure the company has been ignoring the hell out of them for 30 years.

Never cared for the Prodigy. Talking about hair though i did have a Mohawk for a short while in my teen years.

The Crow was actually the movie that got me started listening to rock and alternative music in 1994. The first band i bought an album from was NIN because i bought the fantastic Crow soundtrack and started listening to some of the bands featuring on it.

[ro926]

I'd love to see Hot Toys make The Crow. Maybe an Eric Draven grave for a base? An attachable crow for his shoulder? What would you guys like to see packaged with him?

[Morbach]

shotgun,guitar,hang mans joke album :D

[Urbankungfu]

Hi - I agree. I'm a huge fan of the film "THE CROW" and someone should put out an Eric Draven figure with 2 heads (clown make-up and clean face). Brandon was a star in his own right and he should be honored with a high class figure. I'm getting a little tired of the lunch boxes and toys!

Please put out an Eric Draven figure....The Crow is a masterpiece!!!

Not gonna happen, there is a new Crow in the making as you know so they won't do another Brandon Crow, be it HT or EB.

[GuruAskew]

Not gonna happen, there is a new Crow in the making as you know so they won't do another Brandon Crow, be it HT or EB.

Yeah, because "Terminator: Salvation" sure stopped Diamond Select and NECA from releasing all that "T2" stuff.

The merchandising rights to "The Crow" don't belong to a movie studio, they belong to a specific merchandising operation called Crowvision Inc and there will never be a time when Lee/Draven merch isn't #1 on their bread-and-butter list. Never, and short of having a relatively-unknown actor appearing in the remake in a genre-transcending performance with the lurid infamy of an on-set death there will never be an actor more associated in the role.

[HottoyzJoker]

Im down for a Brandon Lee Crow... He was the best Crow...

[Darthgothikus]

LOL - can't believe this thread is back!

He just can't die!

Make the Crow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :peace

[drunkman]

Enterbay or Hot Toys, please make Brandon Lee The Crow!!!!

[Master Wayne]

I'd buy one. :rock

[eighthsamurai]

Never, and short of having a relatively-unknown actor appearing in the remake in a genre-transcending performance with the lurid infamy of an on-set death there will never be an actor more associated in the role.

here's how i look at it. the new movie will inevitably suck *****. the internet is in uproar that there even is a remake, and crow fans like us are puking over the decision - it's spitting on brandon's legacy. the production company know this and would be shooting themselves massively in the foot if they now allowed more original crow stuff out there. it'll just serve to remind people what a mistake this whole remake project is. they're probably going to want to hype the new version as much as possible, steering it away as much as possible from the old one. it's probably why norrington has changed to describing this fiasco as a "reboot" rather than a "remake". it's all about distance.

so whether crowvision own the rights outright or not, i imagine they were probably given some incentive not to license anything till the new movie is out, watched by millions, and officially panned.

in a related rant, norrington has made one good movie in my opinion. the idiot probably sat there watching "dark knight" like so many other yahoo directors and thought i'll aim for realism in my next comic book film. the thing is, it takes someone very talented to pull it off and still make a decent movie. and norrington doesn't have it. shame on that talentless schmohawk to remake this. i'm sick to my stomach over it. not only is he so low that he wants to remake something as recent as 1994, he's remaking something that can't be improved upon. and worst of all, this movie should always be what people remember brandon by, as he was most proud of it. he loved this movie. he's proving what a nobber he really is by putting someone else in the role of eric draven. rant over.

[Morbach]

The Crow and Halloween should never be touched and yet they remade Halloween and it sucked. I guess The Crow is next. I agree with everything you said, eighth.

[eighthsamurai]

and IMHO, Diamond Select and Neca were probably allowed to release T2 stuff coz it directly relates to the storyline in T4. T4 was a continuation of the franchise. and the production company probably didn't see T2 as a threat as much as the original Crow is to the new one. In fact drawing attention to the most successful part of the franchise probably helped garner interest for T4. despite any reservations people had, i think generally people were looking forward to a new terminator movie. not so with the new crow.

whatever man. basically norrington, the ballsack, is not only ruining a great movie, BUT HE'S PREVENTING US FROM SEEING A BRANDON LEE CROW FIGURE ANYTIME SOON!!!!!! damn you, norrington. damn you all to hell!!

[wookster]

Oh dear, Stephen Norrington... :horror

This is still going? I bet they can't get the rights...Why does no one want to make a crow??? I thought 100% Enterbay would jump on the chance since they are in tight with Shannon lee and mom./

[Morbach]

If we are lucky it will happen one day.

[joda76]

Still keeping my hopes high for one

[eighthsamurai]

shannon lee should go to norrington's house and roshambo his nuts into oblivion.

[Morbach]

shannon lee should go to norrington's house and roshambo his nuts into oblivion. Total agreement. :lecture I am disgusted. :mad:

[Bezzerkerr]

They could make a million Crow movies and it will NEVER take anything away from the first film.

It one of the greatest revenge stories of all time...personal favorite.

[GuruAskew]

so whether crowvision own the rights outright or not, i imagine they were probably given some incentive not to license anything till the new movie is out, watched by millions, and officially panned.

Which is why NECA's current Cult Classics line has another Lee/Draven re-hash.

It's funny how people are just making stuff up to justify why this figure is "impossible", especially when that stuff flies in the face of common sense.

If anything this figure doesn't exist because contrary to popular belief Hot Toys is probably not beating down the door to the rights holders of every fan-requested property and vice-versa. If you could get all the necessary parties in a room and they could make the dollars and cents work there's no doubt that a figure of Brandon Lee as Eric Draven is within the realm of possibility, I just don't know if Hot Toys sees it as viable.

There's also the issue re: Crowvision's apparently-lax attitude about the quality of product they approve. There's good reason to believe that they're more interested in some no-name company putting out t-shirts and ashtrays for Hot Topic than a high-end figure company.

But yeah, there's absolutely no precedent whatsoever for an upcoming franchise entry making previous incarnations off-limits. That's just retarded, period.

There's certainly no precedent in the Crow franchise. They tried releasing non-Lee merchandise ONCE (with Vincent Perez and "City of Angels") and it all tanked. Ever since it's been all Lee. Did they make merchandise featuring Mark Dacascos? No. Eric Mabius? No. Edward Furlong? No. None of those failed attempts had any effect on the steady stream of merchandise based on the first film and I don't expect the new one to either, but then again I don't expect it to be released in theaters either.

[Morbach]

DAMN. I gotta be honest, I never read long posts like that, I just skim through them. But I read that whole post so that says something. You pointed out good facts and made alot of sense.

[wookster]

Did you guys see this-
Q- Any consideration of a 12? figure of “The Crow” ?

A- Yes, it is a property that we look at from time to time, and one that we’re likely to tackle at some point, although in what format we couldn’t say.

I'm guessing a PF (boo, hiss) but it's a start!

never seen that wook. i guess it is a start. and with sideshow's PF history it might actually quite good if it did turn out to be a PF. but i really really REALLY hope they don't do a 12" fig. but that's just me - i'm not a massive fan of sideshow 12".

[Morbach]

Honestly I'd take a pf or a 1/6 figure as long as it looks good. Thanks for posting that Wook.

[Kross]

HT need to do a DX figure of The Crow Eric Draven Brandon Lee was awesome in the in movie

[SanShouXMA]

I wouldn't say a DX version of the Crow. I love the Crow but I don't think there isn't much they could do for a DX version. A regular version of the Crow would be fine. I don't think it would really benefit that much from just the PERS head.

[Morbach]

Just make something. Anything. I'd take a bust.

[persuazion]

A Hot Toys Crow would be awesome......but I have always wanted a Natural Born Killers Mickey and Malory Hot Toys set.

[brothersrobber]

Wow, my friends were just discussing this past weekend about the weird death of Brandon. I still think there is something fishy. Someone's sick twisted mind wanted to duplicate the Game of Death scene where Bruce gets killed while filming a movie within a movie. Somebody used live ammunition on the set and killed him. Of course, he didn't die, and proceeded to kick butt in the pagoda. Anyway, I know I've read there were no live ammunition that killed Brandon. But I still have this feeling in my gut that someone knew what they were doing. Either that, or this is one un-freaking-believable coincidence.

[Chigger58]

Hot Toy's Crow FTW! My vote is cast and I would DEFINITELY buy that!

DX or otherwise, I don't see how this wouldn't sell and I would bet it would be as popular as HT's Blade II figure.

If Sideshow makes it...I'm bagging out....don't really care for many of their 12" figures to date.

[puppetm]

i wanna a HT The Crow...count me in.:pray:

altought i don't think it's gonna happen...

[Murderofcrows71]

A Brandon Lee Crow figure would be the final piece in my collection. I seriously have every movie/TV character I wanted now, due to the talented sculpters and artists on this board and Hot Toys and Sideshow. The Crow figure would be that final piece making the collection I originally started out to achieve complete.

You have a Marty Mcfly?

[Murderofcrows71]

You have a Marty Mcfly?

Yes, Marty and Doc are being worked on right now in my spare time with Spencers great sculpts and beto's Doc Brown radiation suit. I actually have a custom Brandon Lee Crow from sovereign studios using the old inteleg model head. It's really good but being a big fan of the movie and original comic I'd buy a HT version in a heartbeat. Chigger you are right on the money, it's an expensive hobby and after about 15 years of customizing and collecting I find myself buying things that are cool and then never display it and eventually end up selling it. I cut myself down to my original list of favorite characters and most all of them are made in one form or another. Unless a 1:6 Linnea Quigley or Elvira come along, that's about it.

Not yet, I still have a lot of work to do, but the look I'm going for is the same as the one's MarfMaster posted in the BTTF: Marty and Doc thread. Scroll down toward the bottom of the link for his pics.

Mark Wahlberg has been offered the lead role in the Crow reboot so you may end up getting a Crow figure after all. Just not the right one.

I said it before, aint gonna happen for a long while, with new movie thats due (dunno when) they dont want to release any Brandon Crow merch.

[SilentSurfer]

In a perfect 1/6 world, we'll get a DX Lee Crow with Coat and swappable clothes and hands with increasing amounts of black tape on them and two heads; full makeup fresh look, and faded makeup end of movie look. And a guitar with amps would be kick ***. And the cat. And the shotgun. And an actual 1/6 engagment ring. And a sword. And lots of guns. And a crow (duh). And a naked Bai Ling.

[Dront]

Count me too guys :goodpost:
Brandon Lee (Crow) should be released ASAP :peace

[IdeaOfEvil]

For now the best Brandon/Crow "anything" you can get is the old McFarlane Movie Maniacs version imo

For what it's worth, I found this here (http://celluloidpopculturejunkie.wordpress.com/2010/12/29/hot-toys-10th-anniversary-exhibition-tokyo-event-announcements-and-pics-from-the-floor/) while forging through the interwebs:


http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z181/JML-1/Sideshow%20Collectibles%20Freaks/HotToysCrow.jpg


It's apparently from last December's (hence the "Merry Christmas" in the image?) Hot Toys 10 Year Anniversary Exhibition in Tokyo. The hair leads me to believe this isn't an actual prototype by any means, but maybe it's a sign that we'll get this figure afterall? ...that is, as long as this isn't some amateur Photoshopper's joke on all Crow/Hot Toys fans. Obviously the 2011 date is bunk, as well. I would LOVE a Hot Toys Crow though! Let's hope it happens! Til then, the 18" NECA figure is as good as it gets for me.

[Darkseed]

^^^^^ Sign me up..........fingers are crossed we will see it someday.

[Rzeznikk]

Ive been wanting a HT Eric Draven since Ive started collecting HT. I mean with all the love for Bruce that HT has been giving him, why not his son too!???

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

Maybe Enterbay will do a Brandon Lee Crow as they have such strong links with the Lee estate

:goodpost::lecture:lecture

[JosephCPR]

That teaser is sooo fake.

[mazda-rx7]

I been wanting the crow figure for a long time. I hope hot toys make it and not enterbay. Pleasee make him now or give us some clue that your trying or thinking about it. We all should email hot toys and ask them.

[mrchris]

COUNT ME IN TOO...need a high quality brandon as eric draven.
the best so far is the neca 15'' resin statue followed by their 18'' with sound..c'mon EB or HT get it done

[JonD7]

I want an HT Crow figure but uh... I can honestly wait. :lol

So much stuff to buy, last thing I want is ANOTHER figure to freak out about.

Maybe they'll make some Crow figures by the time the new film comes out in 2013.

[RagingBull]

Yeah a Crow figure would be an absolute Grail to me. I've been wanting this figure for as long as I've been in this hobby. I'd like to see this with PERS, I just think this is one of them figures it would work great on. If not HT, I'd like to see Blitzway give this a go, if it turned out as good as there Scareface, let's just say there'll be a lot of very happy Crow fans.

[Aneses]

This is the custom Crow I'm working on. Still waiting for the boots to arrive:

nice looking custom..here's my favourite 2 from neca

[dragonsleeper]

I hope to God Art-figures makes him. Just shortcut this ish for us.

[SAB]

1/6 HT or EB The Crow seems like a no brainer
- tons of official merchandise including figure and statues
- family has no problem signing off on likeness use
- cult following and guaranteed fan base
- not a very complicated figure to make

I really don't get it.

...though I'd love a Rapid Fire Brandon Lee even more

[RagingBull]

I just found this on a SS Q&A, just a quick copy & paste

MAR
29th 2010Q.
Have you reached out to obtain The Crow license at all? I would love an Eric Draven Premium Format.
A.
The Crow is one of my favs; again, have had a lot of interference in attempting to snag the license. Currently NECA has a master deal with the group that owns the license for The Crow.

[castle1234]

Brandon created an amazing character in The Crow-I'd love to see a figure!

[breakersrevenge]

I think I said on here before, there is no chance for a Brandon Lee Crow, be it with HT or EB or anyone else!

Due to the new Crow film, the people that have the power to say yes are saying no!

[Frank]

Really? That's a real shame. I thought this would've been a great tie-in.

[RagingBull]

^^
yeah exactly but I guess we'll probably get the new version before the original. Who is even playing Draven now? It seems to be a different actor every other month. I must admit I haven't got high hopes for the new film at all but hey I hope I'm wrong.

[Morbach]

I have no interest in it.

[mrchris]

same here..the spirit of the 1st film with brandon will live on long past any sequals/remakes that the studios want to cash in on.

[breakersrevenge]

There is only one Crow and that's Brandon.

[RagingBull]

^^
That's probably why no one seems to want the part. I still think Akira sounds like possibly the worst remake of all, there was talk of Zak Efron playing Kaneda. Just Sick

[breakersrevenge]

I just found an old garage kit of the Crow in my attic, might get it made up. I remember it being a pretty good one.

[kahibbi]

I'll buy a Crow HT figure.

is the kit the one on the grave with theater masks or the one with the shogun??

[joebiwan]

The Crow would look absolutely brilliant if Hot Toys did it! Neca tried to do a 12" that talked but it really fell short in looks and quality. Please Hot Toys bring on Brandon Lee in DX as Eric Draven/The Crow. Two heads - one with the makeup and one without, accessories could be guitar, crow, mask, headstones of Eric and Shelly, wrapped hands and unwrapped hands, one hand with shotgun hole in it, dual pistols, weather vane...oh man, this would be a great 1/6th figure!!! PLEASE HOT TOYS !!!

[breakersrevenge]

It's the one with the the gravestone and mask, I remember it being pretty cool painted up.

[mrchris]

it is a nice statue.i passed that and 2 others down to my son.(still kept another 2)LOL

[Godfather1408]

I'm game with this thread great film would make a good profit and I'd defo by it :)

[SAB]

I'd definitely get it.

Though I'd prefer Rapid Fire Brandon Lee.

[Darth Zangetsu]

I would be down for this as well. They should expand on the mythos. I never understood why the movies after Brandon's all felt they had to remain in the modern era. How awesome would a Crow film set in Feudal Japan or the Wild West have been? The premise is like Assassin's Creed, why limit it to just one period of history. The Crow could literally happen at any time.

[Blade3327]

The grunge era just works so well for the character and narrative. Plus the comic on which the film was based was written in the '80s, so my guess is that's how James O'Barr wanted the story to be told.

[Murderofcrows71]

I'd love a Hot Toys Crow figure, but figure they would've done one by now if thy wanted to, especially after doing the Bruce Lee figure. Actually I'm super happy with the custom using Arsyn's head sculpt I have.

[John_Salmon]

Count me in for a Brandon Lee Crow. The Crow is one of my favourite movies, so it's one I would not hesitate on.

As daft as it sounds, I'd pick up the Crow from the 3 sequels as well. Don't get me wrong, none of the films have matched up to the original, but I do like the designs of the Crow, especially from 2 and 3, and wouldn't mind having them in a mini Crow collection.

Edward Furlong can stay out of it though, he looked terrible.

[VintijDroidGutzz]

It's really hard to believe that HT, EB, etc haven't made a high end figure of Brandon Lee - in some form, yet.

I'm a big fan of the film too - & I'd consider getting an Eric. He'd look excellent with his guitar. :rock

[Lejuan]

C'mon guys, only one or two more names on this petition and HT are sure to sit up and take notice!










:lol

[Indeedely]

I would get it if it had the two heads. Loved that movie.

But I would also REQUIRE a figure of Michael Wincott, so my vote is contingent upon that

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4uhgx39iX1rrnp3xo1_500.jpg

LOL!

(kidding I would still get Eric Draven...but I would continue to demand a Wincott!! In fact the OP should update his post.)

[2plaz]

Edward Furlong can stay out of it though, he looked terrible.

I'll second that. lol!

I would definitely buy a crow figure if HT made one. I have two of McFarlanes Movie Maniacs series figures and as amazing as those are I know HT can top them!
