Hot Toys The Crow petition

[8th wonder]

Seeing how good Hot Toys has become made me think how cool a Brandon Lee as Eric Draven figure would be. It would be great if Hot Toys did this. Consider this thread a petition, i hope it will do well:D.

So, if you want an Eric Draven movie masterpiece figure, contribute to this thread.

[yautja31337]

yes, hot toys should consider doing the crow, its a badass film worthy of a collectible such as the ones hot toys make.

[The_Darkness_Predator]

Count me in. (Brandon Lee as Eric Draven)

[chilipep66]

id definatly buy one. sign me up!

[samueljd]

I'd get one of these, but I highly doubt it'll happen. We'd probably be better of having Chris Howes work on a commission.

[Snake Eater]

Would buy one in a heartbeat, but it really won't ever get done I think.

[Nocturne]

I'd love to see one made.

I can't see why it wouldn't I'd say the Crow has just as large or larger fan base than Edward Scissorhands. So there's hope there.

[breakersrevenge]

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

[Nocturne]

I guess in part it would mean acquiring the license, does Neca still have it? or is that for U.S. only ?

[samueljd]

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

That my friend, makes a lot of sense. Especially since Bruce and Brandon have such similar body types.

[Morbach]

I'd love getting a crow figure from ht. That's always been one I thought about but never think it'll happen. I hope they do one,I'd get it in a heartbeat!

[Darkseed]

Brandon Lee version, count me in

[Morbach]

Brandon Lee version, count me in

It'd have to be Brandon Lee. I wouldn't get a single person from any of the sequels.

[Nocturne]

I'd still buy a comic book version too. As much as I love the film I found O'Barrs original comic so much more powerful.

[Morbach]

I agree. I'd get a comic version or Lee version only though. I don't want nobody from the sequels. I'd even get a tin tin or t-bird or funboy or top dollar,just nobody from the sequels.

[aeumuse]

I would luv to see a Brandon Lee's Crow figure with good likeness made~ He rightfully deserves it & not to mention everything about this film is simply Class A to me.

Hot Toys or better yet Enterbay....imagine having 2 headsculpts, painted & unpainted, his guitar, the crow, tombstone, dressing table or that broken round window diorama etc.....*dreams off*

Fire it up!:drool

[breakersrevenge]

You never know guys - watch this space!!!???

[sixtus_56]

Sign me up aswell. Definitly need an official Brandon Lee as Draven figure in my colllection.:rock

[Snake Eater]

Yep, Brandon Lee as Eric Draven deserves a place on my shelf.

Would love to own an official one. HT/Enterbay: GET IT DONE!

[8th wonder]

bump..........

[eighthsamurai]

this thread is going to make me cry. the first figure/collectible i ever bought was the movie maniacs series 3 one. that's what got me into figures. i tried to make a custom 12" one but it sucked.

it's time people. it has to happen. but my bet's with enterbay. hot toys would do an amazing job. but like br said, i want enterbay to do this one because of its links with the lee estate. if it happens, it'll be something special.

[bearmodel]

I would go for that. Sign me in....

[drunkman]

I'd love to see a HT Crow (Brandon Lee) !!! I'd definitely get one.

[Agent23]

Good idea. I love the Crow. Brandon Lee of course.

[YoNoSe]

I would buy one. Unfortunately there is a Crow remake in the works right now with Stephen Norrington (Blade, League of Ext. Gentlemen) at the helm. He wants to make it "realistic.":rolleyes:
Because that's what The Crow needs - to get rid of all that silly dark imagery that, ya know, defined it.

that is the most shocking remake news i've heard so far! hopefully it's not even a remake but a sequel of some sort which DOESN'T use the eric draven character. unfortunately ed pressman is a complete whore, especially when it comes to the crow franchise (did you SEE wicked prayer?). and i agree with you about the realistic style. sounds like norrington is just trying to cash in on nolan's use of realism. unfortunately, that only works well for a human character with no powers, who's supposed to be based in the real world. he doesn't seem to know what he's talking about - documentary style, but making the character more mysterious? sounds like borrocks to me.

and league of extraordinary gentlemen SUCKED - i'm glad he took the time off to reflect on his misconduct. let's hope he learned something useful from it - not to go from making a great movie (blade) to one that stinks and expecting everyone to love it.

[Promising Galahad]

I personally would prefer a comic book based Eric -- I even went back to my custom sculpt as a result of this thread last night -- but I would also love a Brandon Lee film version, too. Enterbay would be the way to go for me, but mostly for their shifting eye tech and their association with the Lee Estate.

As for the sequels, they never existed in my eyes. Sadly, the one that quite possibly should have was dismissed by Miramax/Dimension in its story pitch phase. Funny, how after the first film I thought it would be awesome if there was a female Crow. Coincidentally, James O'Barr apparently thought the same:

The Bride (http://jamesobarr.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/12/a-slightly-late-christmas-present-from-james.html)

[Nocturne]

For all it's flaws I still enjoyed City of Angels, do think it would've been a much better film if it wasn't for the studio's interference and I didn't think Vincent Perez did that bad a job with the material given to him.

It will be a remake using the original story:horror. Brandon Lee died tragically during the making of this film so i think it is really of poor taste to remake it, Brandon Lee deserves to be the only Eric Draven!

Plus Norrington is plain horrible in everything he has done. He can't direct.

For the crow comic book version, dragonfly has two great statues, i have them and love them. I want Hot Toys to make Lee as Draven.

[samueljd]

Has anyone actually contacted Hot Toys about this? It won't matter discussing the petition if Hot Toys doesn't know about it.

[glyoung99]

Wouldn't Hot Toys have to have a few meetings, discuss budget, draw up projections, show a few Power Point presentations, and buy the license if it's not already owned by somebody else? Or is a petition all it takes these days?

[eighthsamurai]

a petition would tell them there's demand for this thing. they aren't going to have a few meetings, discuss budget, draw up projections, show a few Power Point presentations, and buy the license if it's not already owned by somebody else unless someone tells them quite a few people want this. they ain't flipping psychic.

i sent an email a long time ago, and i think a few other people did too. but i got the stock "your message and ideas have been passed onto the production team" reply.

[YoNoSe]

I think it's been mentioned that they read this board, too.
If NECA was able to make 1/6 years ago I imagine the license is attainable. It's always iffy when it's an old movie without a current push in the media, but what the hell? It's a pretty simple figure compared to what they usually do.

[samueljd]

Well good to know that Hot Toys may have got some interest spurred to possibly start a Crow figure. They have been making some obscure licenses lately, i.e. Edward Scissor Hands, POTA, Movie Icons. All old and without and current push of publicity.

[eighthsamurai]

For all it's flaws I still enjoyed City of Angels, do think it would've been a much better film if it wasn't for the studio's interference and I didn't think Vincent Perez did that bad a job with the material given to him.

woohoo, i don't have to cower in shame for liking this film anymore! nowhere near as good as the first but i still think it had its moments. he dispatched of the bad guys in some cool ways at least, and there was some cool imagery in there. i think vincent perez is an amazing actor - have you ever seen la reine margot? great movie. definitely the 2nd best of the bunch. i mean come on - edward furlong? pecker.

[Nocturne]

I haven't but I'll have a look. I did enjoy the movie's art direction as well, not the same dark and grim streets of Alex Proyas' original but was something new to distance itself as a different story.

There is a fan-edit I downloaded (haven't watched it yet) where someone's tried to re-build as much of it as possible from deleted scenes and re-inserted storyboards.

I just think it's judged more harshly than it needed to be because the first one has become so iconic.

I'd still love to see a version of the original that was pure to it's comic counterpart. Is easily the strongest and most emotionally powerful telling of the story.

[Morbach]

Wait...they're remaking it? I'm gonna puke and then cry.

[Nocturne]

Not that I know of, I said I'd like to see a movie based purely on the comic. There's some big differences between the comic and the movie.

hey nocturne, do you think the comic book is filmable? i agree it is one of the most powerful things i've seen but the story is quite disjoint and erratic (which i think is part of its draw) and the style changes tac quite often. if they had an amazing amazing director behind it they might be able to reproduce it, but it'd be an art house picture. problem is, no hollywood studio would ever go for that. i think that's why we saw a lot more action in the movie. i would also like to see a version more like the comics actually, thinking about it now. but like i say, you'd need a really really talented person to bring the energy of the book out.

as for figures, movie or comic, i'd buy either. both are just as appealing. but the movie version is probably more likely to get made someday.

[Nocturne]

I think it would be, if you did what Zack Snyder did with 300, use the graphic novel as the basis and fill in the gaps. There just seems to be so much of O'Barr's own pain ingrained into that story. I loved the collected version where it has selected poetry and song lyrics such as The Cure's "The Hanging Garden"

I leant the book to a friend of mine, she said that it touched her so much that it made her cry.

[Mooncat]

Id buy a Brandon Lee Crow done by HT

[Morbach]

Not that I know of, I said I'd like to see a movie based purely on the comic. There's some big differences between the comic and the movie.

Yeah there is. I thought we were talking about the movie being re-made. I didn't like the graphic novel as much as the movie.

[Nocturne]

Yeah there is. I thought we were talking about the movie being re-made. I didn't like the graphic novel as much as the movie.

BURN THE HERETIC! :lol

[Morbach]

BURN THE HERETIC! :lol

I take it you like the graphic novel more?:lol I just thought it was uneventful how he wasn't weak and just desroyed the bad guys. The movie made it more interesting by taking his powers away and making him vulnerable.

To me that made it more interesting.

[Nocturne]

I am a fan of both and enjoyed both takes very much. I'd never have discovered the graphic novel if it wasn't for the film.

I just enjoyed the way the story seemed more emotional, the mental turmoil he was in, visions of the past, how little things haunted him.

I will admit having him unstoppable for the whole film would have made it more of an anti-climactic.

Think the characters been diluted a little from over exposure, even South Park took the piss on their halloween episode. "No one better come dressed as the Crow!"

Would've been good to see how it had played out if they'd kept the "Skull Cowboy" who stripped him of his powers just as he went after "Top Dollar" because he'd had his vengence and killed the one's who wronged him in person.

[Morbach]

I agree with you. It was more emotional how he cut himself because he was in so much emotional pain. And I used to have the skull cowboy trading card and could never figure out what he was 'cause he wasn't in the film:lol I had to do research to find out what he was.

I also got into the graphic novel because of the movie.

I'd love to see them do a proper Blu-Ray release with extra's like this and stop just re-hashing the DVD from the 90's. Plus the UK cover must be the laziest DVD cover I've ever seen.

http://images.play.com/covers/1130442x.jpg
How cheap does that look ?

[Morbach]

wow:lol horrible looking. I have the 2 disc dvd but it's not that impressive ya know? I want them to do another editon with better stuff. I mean it's popular enough to do a better edition.

I have the neca 18" crow and love it but they messed up on one thing,he's wearing Shelly's ring on his necklace and they gave it to him on his pinky finger also :lol they gave him 2 of Shelly's ring.

[Nocturne]

Hmm, I've not got the NECA. I've got the McFarlane 6" one still sealed in it's packaging (Although the plastic case has yellowed a little)

Would be great to see a premium format of the movie version as I think it warrants that extra detail. I'd happily pay for one of those. Especially if they had the Crow itself as an exclusive.

Just feel the first film has been milked in such a cheap and tacky way in order to sell it to Hot Topic kids, who discovered the film and Nightmare Before Christmas 9 years too late! It's a wonderful film that deserves more than it's been given.

[Morbach]

Absolutley. It deserves more credit than a fad for goth kids. It's a tragic movie and is great. Not something to make emo kids relate to it. :lol

I'd love a pf I think that's the best thing they could do. I'd be amazing.

[Nocturne]

I have no problem with the goth thing (I am one myself after all :lol) but most don't bother to scratch beneath the surface. most of it seems to be "OMG Brandon Lee he's so hawt LOLZ" and unfortunately they give the rest of the scene a bad name.

It has proved itself to be a license that sells well though even after all this time, so I can't see why a higher quality piece based on the license would be such a risk. Admitedly I was never too keen on NECA's 1:1 bust (I think it was them anyway)

[smally]

The Crow fig would be very cool. Man I need to dig that film out!!!


Smally.

I'm not a goth but I'm a metal head and I agree with you. People don't just see it as a great movie,they "scratch beneath the surface". I thought the 1:1 scale was okay and was going to get it just because it's the highest quality thing that's been made IMO. But I'll stick with my 18" until I get a hot toys or pf from ss.

I do regret missing out on the 18" as it was really nicely sculpted. I think I'd prefer a premium format over a Hot Toys now when I think about it. Would like to see a pose different from the walking one that's become standard.
I think this would make a lovely pose

http://i43.tinypic.com/339r11t.jpg
If the window was incorporated as a part of the diorama. Not having the coat should make it a little cheaper as well and due to the scene allow a gentler facial expression as opposed to manic smiles or grim determination shown in so many other pieces.

[breakersrevenge]

If anybody was to produce a diorama for Crow then I think Enterbay are the ones, They would be able to pull it off and they would incorporate it into the packaing knowing them!!

[eighthsamurai]

i agree with br - enterbay would do this justice with some amazing accessories and maybe even a cool diaorama. i own every crow figure released and they really don't do the character justice.

i agree about the blu-ray - it looks like crap! one of the reasons i don't have it yet. i'm waiting for a decent release. i have 4 copies of the dvd in all sorts of different formats, but the only one i watch is the original UK 4:3 version (which i think is the aspect ratio the film was shot in - if you compare screens from the 1.85:1 version, the top and bottom have just been sliced off). I NEED ME A DECENT BLU-RAY VERSION!!! a black steelbook edition.

[8th wonder]

I still rather have Hot Toys doing this, Enterbay is way to expensive. I don't think Enterbay is better than HT.

[eighthsamurai]

maybe for the bruce lee stuff but their other recent figures are comparable in price to HT (bean, 24). As for whether they are better, this obviously depends on your POV. I think they'd do an excellent job on an accurate Brandon Lee body though whereas the true type is just not right for him, especially if you were to pose him with coat off. I just feel Enterbay would treat the whole subject matter with much more respect (not that HT wouldn't treat it with respect at all) due to their links with the Lee family.

Just out of interest, do you have any of the enterbay bruce lee figures?

[nad]

Definitely Hot toys compared to Enterbay.

Enterbay might have a better proto, diorama etc, but they really suck at the actual final mass production:monkey1

No, i don't own an Enterbay Bruce Lee, they look great though.

HT could easily develop a new muscle-body for a Brandon Lee crow figure like they did with Dutch and Hellboy. So you have the option to display him like this:

When this film came out I bought a whole Box of trading cards for $52. and never opened them. Since then I have no idea if they ever went up in value, does anyone know where I can find out more info on these I looked online and can't find anything? Thanks

[breakersrevenge]

A few times when I speak to Enterbay, I ask them about Brandon, They don't tell me jack!! Is that a sign??!! I hope so!!

When Linda and Shannon Lee was at SENI08 last year, there was a few questions that people asked about Brandon, I was not at the Q&A but was told that this year something's are happening in respect to Brandon as a tribute. I know that there will be museum displays along side his father, but lets hope a tribute comes in 1/6!!

trading cards are usually not worth much.

[eighthsamurai]

trading cards are usually not worth much.

i think the crow ones actually are though. you can't universally say trading cards aren't worth much. some are worth a lot.

[thainer]

I just finished putting the 12" McF figure head, hands, guitar, and boots on a talking Neca Crow body (not the greatest articulation but good enough or me). I used a pair of Triad leather pants and the Sideshow Spike coat to dress him in. So now I have a talking McFarlane Crow figure. But I would still be up for seeing someone do the definitive Crow figure.

[Nocturne]

Got a picture ? sounds interesting

[thainer]

I will post a picture tonight when my daughter brings her camera home.

enterbay always seem to post their license news really early compared to hot toys or medicom so i'm sure if one was in the works we'd have heard by now. look how early they announced the dragonballz, godfather, jackie chan figs. it took ages till we actually saw one. i think they get excited by the license. so we'd probably have heard by now.

i just hope they're at least considering it. they must know it'd be popular.

anyway, snake how you been? haven't spoken to you in a while.

we need to get some new people posting on this thread. hot toys aren't going to do anything if they just see the same 5 or 6 yahoos bumping this thread every other day :lol

interpretation: 5 or 6 buyers who will DEFINITELY buy one each.


True but i don't think they should only rely on this board for the figure. Crow fans are very loyal and usually only collect crow stuff so most don't register here. They would buy a HT Crow figure! Plus if you keep this thread noticable more people will join in time.


Also email HT about this fig.

[8th wonder]

enterbay always seem to post their license news really early compared to hot toys or medicom so i'm sure if one was in the works we'd have heard by now. look how early they announced the dragonballz, godfather, jackie chan figs. it took ages till we actually saw one. i think they get excited by the license. so we'd probably have heard by now.

i just hope they're at least considering it. they must know it'd be popular.

anyway, snake how you been? haven't spoken to you in a while.

I'm only really interested in a Crow version of Brandon Lee.

[8th wonder]

By the way eigth samurai, these are the ones who want a HT Crow figure (so far) in this thread, a bit more than 6:lol.

yeah that's great. but how many of them have bumped this thread. i know more than 6 people have shown interest, but we need more than the regulars just regularly bumping the thread.

i've emailed HT several times about the crow figure already. i got stock replies. a crow figure will happen eventually - it has to, whether its hot toys or someone else. hopefully before the dumb remake ever happens, coz then they'd probably go with the remakes version and not the classic.

at the end of the day the owner at HT is someone who has a passion for the figures he makes. i get the feeling if he doesn't like a movie, he's less interested in getting the license. i'd love to find out what he thinks about the crow.

I tend to think it's all about the money:lol. wether he likes it or not, a crow figure would sell very well that's why they should make one.

[thenammagazine]

I think you guys'd have better luck commissioning a sculpt for the TrueType and then bashing him together. Nearly everything's available and it'd also probably be cheaper in the long run too.

HT is going to release Edward Scissorhands so why not The Crow? the Crow has a bigger fanbase, just look at all the merchandise NECA has released regarding the Crow, the stuff sells.

I dunno. Besides fans of the comic series and actors, both characters have a HUGE goth/Emo following. But most often for that genre/style, the biggest fans = the brokest fans. :lol I don't think there would be enough willing to drop that amount ($150) to support a release from HT. Most of the Crow stuff I've seen couldn't have been given away. Shelfloads of the Crow stuff was clearanced out at Suncoast when they were closing up shop here and wound up in the trash.

[Doomhammer]

I know I would definitely buy Brandon Lee. I absolutely adore the movie. But it does make sense that Enterbay would be the one making him. It doesn't really matter to me, Enterbay or HT, as long as we get a high quality version. Victims, aren't we all?

BS, i don't that many in here asking for the figure are goths or emo's just fans of classic movies. The Crow is a modern classic. HT made a Hellboy 2 line, i'm betting there is MUCH more demand for an Eric Draven figure. Do you actually think that figures from something so forgetfull as the Spirit will sell more than a HT version of The Crow? definately not!

Your theory about Crow stuff not selling well proves false, Neca is still releasing figures of this movie (recently with a burning crow base) They wouldn't be doing that if it didn't sell. I'm guessing they are still making big bucks on The Crow.

[eighthsamurai]

i would shout BS too, but i prefer not to engage with jerks who make this board more miserable than it needs to be. have you ever spoken to anyone outside your own bedroom, nam? people, ordinary people absolutely love the crow. people you wouldn't even expect. even if you don't go beneath the surface its still an excellent action movie that was done very stylishly. the number of people i've spoken to who say they would love to get cool crow merchandise even though they're not the biggest fans of the film, not goths and not collectors. it would sell like ^^^^ing crazy.

[Morbach]

this figure would do a killing. I'd like to get everyone they'd do. The Crow is one of those movies where I'm down for any character they do. I think it'b be sweet if we got a Shelly to go with Eric and maybe a graveyard diorama. I'd get that so fast it's not even funny! Anyone else agree?

You obviously don't know many goths. Maybe the teenyboppers you see at the mall in Hot Topic don't have much disposable income, but really, what teenyboppers do?

The bulk of the gothy folks I know work in the tech industry so are pulling in $60K+. Granted my experience is in major cities, but it's been my experience that most gothy folks that don't live in major cities eventually move to them as soon as they can, though YMMV.

Do you think all that frilly black clothing comes cheaply? ;D

And the NECA swag that litters the shelves of Suncoast and Spencer's? It doesn't sell because it's tacky, like most of the other "licensed collectibles" they make beyond action figures. Shot glasses. Sigh.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced you live in your own little world. You know your stuff about military hardware and costuming, but beyond that you seem to strike out on a pretty regular basis.

you're absolutely right - this is an any and all character movie in terms of figures. i'd actually prefer the bad dudes before shelly as she had such a minor screen presence (even if she was the most important character overall). i think i'd actually prefer a sarah to a shelly - to keep the line in the dark and dingy real world. and you know for sure that if hot toys did an eric, they would most certainly do a top dollar.

I agree with you there also. I'd prefer a Sarah over a Shelly but it'd still be sweet to have a Shelly. I'd get a Top Dollar,Tin Tin,T-bird,Funboy. Hell,I'd even get a Gideon if they did him :lol

Surely Officer Albrecht would be high too, no?

Ht give us at least these two NOW!

(please) :)

[eighthsamurai]

they had so many visually interesting characters from that movie, HT could have a field day! i would gladly give up all my pred2, aliens, POTC, star wars (all of them!) figs and other lines for a crow line that included eric, sarah, albrecht, top dollar, tin-tin, t-bird, funboy and skank. easily.

[Snake Eater]

Me too, hands down. All but my TDK stuff would gladly go.

[Morbach]

Man,my imagination is running wild with thoughts here. Could you imagine if they did a diorama set of the church for 1/6 figs? Or the conference room where all the shootings went down? Man,this has such potential!!! Please,someone do these figures!!!

[Snake Eater]

I would love it to be Hot Toys if anyone, (even though Enterbay is more likely for a Brandon I guess), mainly they would be cheaper and a longer line.

[Morbach]

just make 'em! :lol I don't care who as long as they look good :D

[Snake Eater]

I agree I would take it from Enterbay or Hot Toys, but for the benefit of having multiple characters at slightly less cost, HT get my vote.

For just a one off Brandon Draven though, Enterbay would be aces, and seem like a contender with all their Bruce Lee stuff.

[8th wonder]

I think HT is becoming better than Enterbay, just look at Don Corleone, HT wins in my opinion.

It could come with:

A shotgun
two automatic handguns (used in club trash)
samurai sword
1/6 crow (bird)
guitar
Gabriel the cat

[Murderofcrows71]

A definate buy for me, hopefully packaged with a Crow bird, various types of guns, a guitar, and Eric and Shelly's Tombstones

Get it done!

Hope you guys have your figure done by Hot Toys..... even if the Crow is kinda gay.

I always thought it was a good excuse for retards to call everything that has a bit of depth EMO. Afterall you watch movies like dogs and cats do "whooo it moves, bright colors, me happy"

[saintsyn]

Actually I quite like the Crow and was not dissing it any any way. I was applying what is usually referred to as "sarcasm" towards Shai's comment. You should know that before Emo it was Goth and before that Punk, etc. Just a random generalization applied to whatever outcast movement is en vogue at the moment. Just being humorous. No need to get you ape-panties in a twist!:monkey1

[saintsyn]

On another note, if we do (hopefully) get a figure, chances are he won't be packing any sort of arsenal. That is part of the deal that goes along with Brandon Lee's estate to use his likeness and why none of the previous Crow figures have carried guns....

My mind is rambling over the possibilities of this figure.

Interesting re the weapons too.

[kazukijun]

Actually I was thinking if Enterbay would pick it up eventually...since they did Bruce Lee already.

I'm fine with no weapons, but a proper 1/6 guitar & amp is a must!

[Snake Eater]

Damn straight.

Enterbay does seem more likely.

[eighthsamurai]

if hot toys do it, we'd probably get 2 versions - the non-coat one, and then later a BD one with the coat and electrical tape. maybe even a just out of grave one. i think if enterbay do it, judging from their past releases we might get both in the same package. probably a lot more expensive though. but i would like to see both outfits done.

[Morbach]

I'd like one with worn off make-up where he's barely wearing any from the rain washing it off and one of him with perfect make-up. Obviously the perfect make-up one should have no coat and perfect clothes. And the worn make-up one should have a coat and have bullet holes in his clothes. :D I want this figure!!!! Some one please do this!!!!!

:rotfl maybe this is why hot toys HAVEN'T announced a crow figure yet - i bet they get more emails about this potential figure than anything else. they're probably so sick of crow fans badgering them, they're either thinking, "screw 'em, we're not making one" or "screw em, we're not telling em we're making one."

its a nice idea though. but as much as it shows there's a definite want for something, not sure personally that any company would respond well to demands to make a figure. maybe if we kidnapped yulli and jc hong and held them for ransom. then we might get our figures.

[nash]

I want Enterbay to make this one.

[LChinoz]

It would be fitting, since they are known for the Lee license.

[8th wonder]

I don't think enterbay would do one. The Bruce Lee figures were very cool ofcourse but besides that Enterbay is one boring-*** company their choices for figures can't get more boring.

Their quality is great but their choices aren't. Mr Bean:rolleyes:, tv shows:rolleyes:, random Hong Kong celebrities:confused:. I can think of a million things more interesting than that! Their Bruce Lee is great because Bruce is just an immortal icon and deserves the best figures possible but other than that Enterbay hasn't done anything interesting.

Hot Toys is way more adventurous and exciting.

[kazukijun]

errr random Hong Kong Celebrities????
Obviously you dont know how big Jay Chou & Jet Li are in Asia.

[jinroh75]

i'd like to see both enterbay and hot toys do the crow. that way i can see forums filled up with fanboys fighting with each other anonymously. :lol

seriously though if both companies did him we can pick and choose instead of settiling on just the one version. who cares someone make him already

[8th wonder]

errr random Hong Kong Celebrities????

Yes and Henny huisman is big in The Netherlands does that mean they should make a Henny figure:lol? A Jet Li figure is understandable though, never even heard of Jay Chou.

[eighthsamurai]

Yes and Henny huisman is big in The Netherlands does that mean they should make a Henny figure:lol? A Jet Li figure is understandable though, never even heard of Jay Chou.

yes, but enterbay is an asian company, so they do asian celebrities. i applaud enterbay's choices, not going for the safe products they know will sell to foreign audiences. they're not boring to me, they're refreshing. it shows they do what they want, and that means they care more about the licenses they have.

they're a newish company. as they grow they'll get the power to acquire bigger and bigger licenses - 24 is a good example. godfather even better. and they're improving with each release too. considering the techniques and benchmarks in quality they've introduced to the business, i wouldn't ever call them boring.

and sometimes you have to step out of your own little world to appreciate what a company is doing or the products they're releasing. it's very ethnocentric to say that some of the greatest stars to grace asian cinema are boring. enterbay brought several bruce lees, jet li, and soon jackie chan. when would that have ever happened with another company, focused on foreign licenses?


oh and 24 isn't just some tv show - it's an international phenomenon, on par with some of the biggest blockbuster movie releases. jack bauer is a character that will live on for a VERY long time, like indiana jones or darth vader. that's not JUST a tv show.

[Morbach]

I'm in for Hot Toys doing this. There's nothing wrong with Enterbay but Hot Toys is on such a damn role. Adding a Eric Draven to the Movie Masterpieces line would be a great move on their part :D

You know very damn well i don't mean Bruce lee! I'm a big Bruce Lee fan. I already mentioned my Bruce Lee fandom many times.

And you know what is insulting, your avatar! What the hell has that kitschy Joker crap got to do with Brandon or The Crow!!

and if you don't mean him then i really don't know who you mean - jay chou is the only character so far enterbay have released that is a celebrity version

Sure and with the few characters they have released that's pathetic.

which in case you hadn't noticed hot toys are also doing with their m icons line),

So what, atleast they are doing interesting things besides that line.

my question would be did you actually learn anything in your 14 years of buddhism. i've never said it before, but you're one of the rudest guys on here.

Don't read so many new-age crap. If you think buddhism is about sugar-topping everything your wrong. The famous japanese master Dogen (a buddhist monk) spend allot of time calling inferior teachers idiotic donkeys.

and for the record i still think you're being ethnocentric. otherwise why would you have made that comment about random hong kong celebrities? is this the john wayne school of buddhism by any chance?

That's because you are a moron. They are random Hong Kong celebrities, not random dutch celebrities, not random french celebrities. What else should i call them?

If they were making Henny huisman, andre hazes etc i would call them random dutch celebrities.

Ethnocentrism: is the tendency to look at the world primarily from the perspective of one's own culture.

ravings.

firstly, i can't believe i stuck up for you against shai. you may as well be the same obnoxious guy as far as i'm concerned. just a few things before i choose not to respond to you anymore, and i'll try and be as polite as possible as one of us really should be (and i'll ignore the more lunatic statements you made) - i was one of the first supporters of Hot Toys on this forum. don't assume my support of enterbay means i support hot toys any less.

my avatar was a tribute to two rising stars that died before their time, whose last performances were amazing. i find your comments about it quite sickening - i don't know why you made such an outlandish comment, but it was just plain judgemental and wrong, without knowing anything about it.

culture isn't bound by national borders, its much more complex than that. your interpretation of ethnocentrism is therefore flawed.

i've tried to get past your exterior on other threads thinking you were an ok guy. now i'm done with you.

oh one last thing - believing people shouldn't behave like jerks isn't from reading "new age crap" (more ethnocentricism?), its from an inherent belief in common courtesy, decency and politeness.

Not plain judgemental and wrong, i just can't stand that sick disgusting joker character (i mean no offence to the late Heath Ledger, may he rest in peace) you all idolize and to see it fused with a character that i love makes me angry. The Crow was about justice for victims, a symbol that is totally opposite of what a scumbag like the Joker symbolizes. why do i get the feeling (despite your explanation) that you only made that avatar because they both wore make-up in their last performances:rolleyes:.

culture isn't bound by national borders, its much more complex than that. your interpretation of ethnocentrism is therefore flawed.

I never said it was bound by borders, i just mentioned that i hated my own country and culture. The point is that your accusation of my comment being ethnocentric just didn't apply or make sense at all. You probably just wanted to sound intellectuel huh.

i've tried to get past your exterior on other threads thinking you were an ok guy. now i'm done with you.

I still think you are an ok guy but apparantly you seem to live in the illusion that a common greedy toy company like Enterbay needs to be defended by a buyer (you) they don't give a ^^^^ about (they like your wallet though) against anyone who utters some criticism. And may i add defending them with an over-sensitive, redicilous, paranoid arsenal!

one last thing - believing people shouldn't behave like jerks isn't from reading "new age crap"

Naah, you don't understand the meaning or in wich context to use it. I know you like that word but enough already:lol.

its from an inherent belief in common courtesy, decency and politeness.

You know, there might be an undiscovered island where behaving like a jerk is seen as common courtesty, decency and politeness. How ethnocentric of you to think that your cultural view of common courtesy is absolute, it is afterall just a view, how ethnocentric:lol.

I have been studying buddhism for 14 years, i feel much more related to asian cultures than to western cultures.



It's a tv show.


Enterbay is boring. Hot toys are my heroes for finally making Major Dutch. HT should do The Crow.


What's funny is that 24 is bigger than Predator movie could ever dream to be. :lol

[knucklefunger]

All I can say is I'd pre order a Draven in a second. Although not a big comic related movie fan, the Crow was so much more. A true work of cinematic art & a brilliant farewell for Brandon Lee

There is actually no point to your comment at all. Why would i care about that? That's such a childish way of looking at things.

99% of the people on this planet are idiots so i don't think that something being bigger is such a good thing.

True

and i'm quite done arguing in this thread.

Hot Toys, Enterbay even Medicom whatever, make a good 1/6 figure.

:lol true but lets be honest Hannah Montana is bigger than the Predator movie could ever dream to be, more popular does not neccisarily mean better
but nothing against 24, 24 is a good show, but I like the Predator movies better

[8th wonder]

Im glad you finally admitted that youre an idiot. :lol

Well, i didn't:rolleyes: sigh and your reply was so predictable. Are you 7 years old, if so you are excused, very clever. If you are above 7 stop watching smallville, it obviously caused a certain amount of brainrott in your case. Who watches smallville honestly:lol, or is that your sense of humor?

[8th wonder]

:lol true but lets be honest Hannah Montana is bigger than the Predator movie could ever dream to be, popularity doesn't count for much
but nothing against 24, 24 is a good show.

Never seen it.

[kazukijun]

You truly are the 8th Wonder!!!

[8th wonder]

Look, i'm sure 24 is good, i might even watch it some time, Kiefer Sutherland is one of my favorite actors.

However that is all besides the point, i don't think the choices for figures Enterbay makes are that exciting to me, is that such a disaster? Their Bruce Lee figures are great but other than that no. If a company has only released a few figures and mr Bean is one of them there must be something wrong there.

[kazukijun]

Erm...care to elaborate just what is wrong with them releasing a Mr Bean fig?

smallville bad? But Predator is such an intelligent movie is it? I guess King Kong would be better for my brain and intelligence as well? :lol

Studying Buddhism? You sure haven't learned much by the way youre acting.

Hey Nash, b cool! sure dont get this crap over on Medi!
Enterby will rock if they did the crow, Like I said before, u never know. . . .!

U a Bruce Fan?

[Toast]

Damn this thread got ugly :lol, Yea enterbay or hottoys would do an awesome crow

[eighthsamurai]

some times on these boards you really feel like taking people who think their intellectuals to school over certain things. other times you think, "two tears in a bucket, mother uck it" - it's a lost cause. labelling people morons on a forum is one of the weakest things you can do. maybe you have a nice degree from some posh university - that doesn't give you the right to feel superior to people. its a jerk move.

anyway, enough with this nonsense guys. there's an ignore button for a reason. what i want to know is, WHEN DO I GET MY DAMN CROW FIGURE??!!! and if medi, HT and enterbay all made one, they'd all be damn amazing. i'd prefer a diaorama to a stand - and enterbay would be most likely for that. my vote would be for the round window in eric's loft. that would be cool.

[Snake Eater]

Someone make it.. NOW.

That is a great dio idea ES.

[Morbach]

I could make some damn dio's if the figures would just come out. C'mon!!!! We need these figures!!! At least a damn Draven figure :D this has got to happen!!!

I for one really hope Hot Toys makes it, cause if Enterbay does Ill buy it and I fear that will be the begining of a new addiction. Ive seen all there Bruce Lee figures and Im so tempted to get one but I know if I do it wont be the only one Id want to get and those beast are expensive. Come on Hot Toys.

Sorry for the disapointment but I've never built a diorama before. But I know I could cause I work with wood all the time and so I could def make a dio. I was stating that if we got Crow figures I'd make a dio. If we get a fig maybe I can make some and sell some on here :naughty :D

[wookster]

Wow, a lot of anger here.
I think a little perspective is in order. We are lucky enough to be collectors at the best ever (if not most economically unstable considering our habit ain't cheap) time, it's the golden age.
Hot Toys and Enterbay are at the top of the heap for 1/6 right now, we have wonderfull choices, both are exceptional, but they are 'at the end of the day' two companies giving us what we want at a quality we have craved for years. We're in a win-win situation. I hope to get both Godfather figures, I expect to find both outstanding and it's great that the two heavyweigts are doing it.
I think both companies have shown amazingly good choices, some more leftfield than others, but all relevant. Too many people get angry if a company makes something they don't want... tough, just wait till something you want comes along. There are a lot of collectors in Asia (and around the rest of the world) who will be ecstatic that we now have figures of Jay Chou and Wong Ka Kui, be happy for them, not angry and arrogant that your personel 'obscure' favourite still isn't done yet.

As for the Crow, I'd be happy for ANYONE to do it as long as they do it well, hell, Triad are picking up more licences, they'd make a killer Eric too.

[dragonsleeper]

yeah with the evo body though not the horrid omega

Well said indeed.

However i don't think it's that of a crime to critisize a toy-company with the complaint that i think the choices for their figures are boring, that's just an opinion. I should be able to say that without getting an entire army of angry people over me. I find that a bit much.

I agree we are all entitled to an opinion, but we have to be aware our opinion is just that... an opinion.
Try and step away from the situation and look at it like a third party. When Enterbay first showed the Mr Bean I thought WTF, but I never thought it was a stupid decision... a strange one yes, but now I want one... explain that!

I only tend to get angry with a company if they do a figure (or figures) from a licence I care about, and do them 'badly'... now that IS annoying!

[eighthsamurai]

i have to agree with this (shaun and ed come to mind :rolleyes:). another thing i hate is when a company doesn't take a license to fruition and wastes it. a lot of people were annoyed with HT's treatment of the POTC line (although we did get a fair few characters, just not barbosa!). me personally, the biggest disappointment has come from medi neglecting the marvel movie range. they had such great opportunities there, with punisher, blade, daredevil, spider-man etc. and it was totally wasted.

so i'm hoping that whoever gets the crow we get a few figures. i have to agree that enterbay's focus may be on brandon only, whereas HT are probably more likely to develop a movie based line. but the movie is so old now, any company might focus only on the iconic draven.

[Morbach]

Like how hot toys might not do a Bale as John Connor from Terminator Salvation. That's a waste.

[eighthsamurai]

^^^^, really? i hadn't heard that. that would be a real shame - is it a license thing or just a choice? a bale john connor would sell twice as many as the T700.

[Morbach]

^^^^, really? i hadn't heard that. that would be a real shame - is it a license thing or just a choice? a bale john connor would sell twice as many as the T700.

yeah it's possible that we won't get one. I've heard it's Bale being an *** and I've heard HT just don't wanna do one. I don't know the truth but it'd suck if we don't get one. :(:banghead you're right HT would sell a crap load of Connors. Alot of ppl said that they aren't going to bother with an endo if we don't get a Connor.

[wookster]

Like how hot toys might not do a Bale as John Connor from Terminator Salvation. That's a waste.

Really, it's only been a couple of weeks since the T600 + T700 announcement, I felt sure we'd see some human characters (or some that look human... if you know what I mean), never can tell though!

And 8S, there have been so many figures from so many companies that have dissapointed, but yeah, Shaun and Ed did hurt a lot!

[Snake Eater]

Maybe they approached Bale for rights during his tirade and he went Bale Out on them. :D

[Teddy Daniels]

I still rather have Hot Toys doing this, Enterbay is way to expensive. I don't think Enterbay is better than HT.

Sorry thats a moronic statement!!!

[Teddy Daniels]

Definitely Hot toys compared to Enterbay.

Enterbay might have a better proto, diorama etc, but they really suck at the actual final mass production:monkey1

Again thats a moronic statement!!!

[8th wonder]

Sorry thats a moronic statement!!!

That's a moronic statement.

[eighthsamurai]

manji, quick question for you bud - do you own that amazing blade of the immortal custom that's in your avatar? that figure is just incredible!

[Teddy Daniels]

I don't think enterbay would do one. The Bruce Lee figures were very cool ofcourse but besides that Enterbay is one boring-*** company their choices for figures can't get more boring.

Yes your right the 24 figs they have done are really boring arnt they, moron!!!

[breakersrevenge]

manji, quick question for you bud - do you own that amazing blade of the immortal custom that's in your avatar? that figure is just incredible!

Yeah, i think so. Who the hell reacts that strongly on something so trivial? Are your figures your best friends, do they talk to you?

Stop defending something that only likes your wallet, seriously why would you be so loyal to a freaking greedy Toy-company?

[8th wonder]

I happen to be a massive YJ Park fan and huge 24 fan!! why are you so insistent on being so arrogant!!!

I'm not arrogant, just because you are a fan doesn't mean i have to be one. i called it boring out of personal opinion, it's not like it's a fact. Plus, i have never seen 24 and who is YJ Park? I don't have an opinion on those. the only reason i called Enterbay boring is because they haven't made anything besides Bruce Lee that i like or find figure-worthy. We can agree to disagree.

[Morbach]

This is my last post to you 8th but seriously get a grip!!! The 24 figures are comparable to anything HT do price wise but in a league of their own quality wise, completely shame anything HT have done to date!!!

Quality wise i don't think i can or want to dispute that, they do look very real. also Enterbay doesn't use rubber in their figures do they? That's a BIG plus. I care about interesting figures not about companies so i don't care who does The Crow, Enterbay or Hot Toys.
