1/6 Hot Toys Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

Now having seen the movie I can safely say that Valerian himself just might be the lamest lead character in any sci-fi movie. Worse than AOTC Anakin and Jai Courtney's Kyle Reese. The girl was likable but not enough to salvage the film.

With regard to the HT figures they should have given Cara sculpted hair and had it up in a bun the way it was the majority of the time that she wore that outfit.



Not that it matters obviously since neither figure will ever see the light of day.

Same here. I was really interested in that headsculpt. I saw the other sculpt (the soldier one), and although I do see her in it, this Hot Toys one was perfect.

No matter what I would still buy the figures if released. But I know it is not looking good.

count me in.

This anime version is the closest one I could customize without the HT version.

Ok, you MUST explain this picture.

1. Naked Arnold on right...
2. Woman wearing white has a bulge...
3. Woman in red on right has Arnold's package measured...
4. Kirk visibly groaning at scene...

I feel like it's dropped in from a parallel universe. And it may be best if it remains unexplained. This sort of thing should happen more often in threads.

LOL

Obviously, I like to bash my sci-fi together.
... and I wanted to create something humorous. It's usually more funny if I let everyone use their imagination to fill in the blanks. Like the measurement comment ... really cracked me up.

That is just a Phicen body in white. Perhaps it's the lighting.

Sometimes 3-D printing is my only 1/6 scale option. If the Hot Toys figures are not made, at least I'll have these guys.

There was always something super annoying about those guys in the comics (though I know that was part of the point...)

Yes. I thought of the worm guys from men in black whenever I saw them in the movie. But I really like aliens in my collection.

well the Neca are coming out,too lazy too look for that thhread

I was really hoping by some miracle these would actually be released.

At least, I will have my custom alien 1/6 scale figures.

hmmm in my country we have this cartoon hero (below), now i wonder if he was designed after that creature or it's just a coincidence of putting a crocodile head on a humanoid body.

That last picture should be accompanied by the legend "Don't do drugs, kids"

that's pretty much a common commentary to most ancient cartoons i've seen.

That is so cool!

Really hoping we still get these.

I have the Neca Laureline and she is amazing

This is based on the best sci-fi comic ever. But the film is trash. It is very beautiful but the story sucks and the characters suck and they are nothing like in the comic. Seriously, if you like intelligent (and sometimes fun) sci-fi, read the comics.
I still want the figures, but only cause I ove the comic so much. I really wanted to like the film, took my kids to see it and they kind of enjoyed it, but I was so disappointed. Tried to hide it from them as to not ruin their experience.
But these figures look good, very good. But Hot Toys wont make them after the film tanked. I will get the Neca, but they are not as good.
Someone here asked if HT had ever made something for show and not mass produced? Lone Ranger and 66 Batmobile comes to mind, with yellow jacket and Crossbones (but I don't care about the last two).

and if you like intelligent (and sometimes touching) movies, watch Twilight, yeah.
