I hope that the mods understand the point of this thread...

For the most part, this forum is used by collectors who share a passion, photos & ideas etc...

But sometimes that passion can be discomforting~ for example a figure that you've been long waiting for, turns out to be a dud... and your miffed.

If you express your negative opinion on most any thread, your sure to be told to get lost pretty soon... As I myself have recently experienced members coming into threads and bashing figures basically just to anger the other collectors... Essentially I have been on both sides of this behavior...

I suggest this thread is a place to bash the crap out of any figure, barring the same no swearing and porn rules that apply in all the other threads... That way you can b*T*ch and get it out!

Re: Hot Toys - Hate Thread! Yep, get it out...

So I'll go first...

it's Enterbay's GOD Bruce Lee...

The starchild as I call it... the 1/5 scale piece of garbage I wouldn't pay $100 dollars for...

I waited forever for this figure... folks here were getting ones with big holes in the chin and nose... The rubber body was multi colored with dry cracks already...

They had all different batches, by the end I think they had it fixed but what a horrible figure. Such a waste of the license, with Arnie at Blitz... Looks like if you want a Bruce by Enterbay, it'd better be 1/4 scale

I think this thread should include pics. I need visuals. :)

The thread title clearly says Hot Toys. GTFO with this enterbay ****!!
 
A brave idea for a thread! Chances anyone who posts in it will still incur the wrath of the anti-complainers and out&out faboys.

Nevertheless - I hate the neck on DX10. I really really do. I resent the increasing tendency towards ball joint necks as I think it is paradoxical to what high end figures aim to achieve in otherwise incredible realism. The clothes hide every joint but they can't hide that one. I don't like them at the best of times but on DX10 it was executed particularly badly. I honestly don't know how it got approved. Other than that I love the figure which makes it all the more a ****ing shame.
 
Sideshow Toys Aragorn figure which doomed the line from the start. I remember seeing the prototype and thinking how awesome it was. Then the actual pics started floating around and I thought WTF? I don't hate it per se but it was definitely different then what I was expecting.

Heh!

Is it a rubber sleeve over the plastic?
 
Hot toys metal gear solid snake the head sculpt is alright the outfit I can care less about a missed opportunity some people never even got this suit in mgs3 very plain figure.
 
The DX Luke hype... I PO'ed when he was announced, even had the Ex version. Once I saw photos surface of the face I immediatly cancled, and a few short days later better pics were show , and the Ex was sold out... Although I never looke back, my biggest learning experience has become in-hand judgement. Just like DX10 Arnie!

As far as a figure that I can tell to go straight to hell, would be the Medicom Gohan... No articulation like Piccolo, or Goku. **** you Medicom!

Ha, I felt this way about the LOTR line as well..I bought Aragorn, Legolas, Faromir, Baromir and Gandalf the Grey (which is the only gem to this line)...I just couldn't buy the hobbits...Now Im selling them all, however, with Asmus toys taking the their shot at this line I hope they can do those characters justice that early Sideshow just couldn't.
 
I'll go ahead and throw my hat in the DX Indy crowd. What should've been an absolute masterpiece ruined by the worst head sculpt HT has released in the past years.

I'm also hatin' on the recent SS human characters, like the new Obi-Wan. SS was fine 5 years ago when they were pretty much the only game in town, but with HT/Enterbay/iminime/etc elevating the sculpts and production paints, SS has been left in the dust. Keep with the aliens and armored characters, let HT handle the humans in your Star Wars line please.
 
HOT TOYS IRON MAN- really cool looking figures but give something else a chance, there is enough Iron Man Figures to satisfy all the collectors at the moment its time to rotate some other licenses, they can always go back and do more if the demand is still there but would love to see them go back and give us a new Blade figure, some more Pirates, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters, TMNT, BTTF, anything but Iron man.
 
HOT TOYS IRON MAN

It's not just the saturation of IM stuff, but the fact that they are releasing suits that aren't even in the movie. It's been said in the IM threads that those suits will probably end up in the extras DVD, but that's a bit of a stretch in a 'Movie Masterpiece Series' ain't it?

"Movie Masterpiece" my arse.
