Hot Toys teases big announcement for 2019

“At Hot Toys, we’ve trained minds to constantly set challenges, and we’ve become good not only at picking the next challenges, but also completing them.

Stay tune to our upcoming announcement that you don't want to miss out!“

My mind has been trained not to get excited about this sort of thing and also that the words 'stay tuned' or 'coming soon' can be utterly meaningless from this company.

Ok, I’ll make a prediction.

With the great success of JazzInc’s dioramas, I wouldn’t be surprised if Hot Toys starts producing them too.

well I will make a prediction as well....more Iron Men...lol

Big ?

The big announcement is more of the same. Predictable releases while ignoring comic figures, World Of Warcraft etc.

They should released the teased figures first...

Diecast mark I to complete the line

The rest are Disney licenses

- 1 Winnie the Pooh

Now look at the upcoming releases for 2019,






The majority of releases are going to be Star Wars Prequels (Krennic, Episode III troopers, Jango, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan), Empire Strikes Back (Han, Lando, Luke, etc.), Star Wars episode 9 Rey, Kylo, Finn, Luke, ROTJ Darth Vader, Iron Man, Infinity War 2.0, Capatain America, Black Panther, 3-4 versions of Spider-Man, a couple of different versions of Captain Marvel. Probably an Aladdin figure or two and maybe Lion King. Disney Marvel and Star Wars is going to be a bulk of those releases, with Iron Man, Spider-Man and Star Wars troopers being the focus.

The rest will be obligatory promotional releases for Hellboy, Shazam, Phoenix Joker and maybe a Terminator or two from Terminator "3".

Well that's pretty much guaranteed. I certainly hope they're cleverer than 'teasing' a ''big announcement'' for something that everyone knows is going to get made anyway.

Damn that's a comprehensive post.

But yeah. The announcement might aswell be ''Those who have been happy with our output for the past number of years shall continue to be happy.''

Annual hope post for someone to finally do Blade Runner given the year.

Pretty much every figure featured in that video was Marvel, so that leads me to believe that, whatever this announcement may be, it will most likely be Marvel related.

Any chance they got the LOTR license?

I saw General Grievous at 0:09.

Maybe they'll officially announce the 1966 Batmobile.....

It's probably just more Cosbabies.

I'd only want then to go and fill in any villain gaps if that's the case.
