There are already quite a few threads dedicated to Hot Toys figures, and there is even one for the upcoming Resident Evil 4 (Biohazard) 1/6 scale figures, but I thought there ought to be one thread that would generally cover all figures released under the "Video Game Masterpiece Series" title, past, present and future.
As far as I know, the first video game character Hot Toys has produced is "Commander Specter", the Navy SEAL team leader from the popular "SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs" franchise. Being a devoted fan of the series, I was overjoyed when I heard that Hot Toys was going in this direction. Although Commander Specter was a special LE release, and there was no official mention of a dedicated "video game masterpiece series" at the time, I had the feeling that they were onto a very good thing. Lo and behold, they announced the Resident Evil 4 figures, under the new title, and a new line was born!
I have no idea what's on the drawing board, but I expect there will be plenty of extremely cool and iconic game characters announced in the months and years ahead. There have already been many discussions here and elsewhere about what characters people would like to them to make. I already have a list of most wanted characters, as I'm sure many other game Freaks who might be reading this do. Let this thread be a place where we can discuss those ideas, wants, suggestions, and anything else related to this new line of goodness from Hot Toys.
Let me kick things off with a partial list of characters I would personally like to see Hot Toys make...
Just for starters,
1. Figures from the earlier Resident Evil/Biohazard games:
Any of the S.T.A.R.S. team members from the first game, Claire and Chris Redfield, Leon Kennedy, and Ada Wong from the second game, and Jill and Carlos from the third game...and of course any of the multitude of possible T-virus mutations that populated each of those games.
2. Figures from the first Metal Gear Solid game, MGS2: Sons of Liberty, MGS3: Snake Eater, and of course, the next installment in the series, MGS4. * There are too many to list them all here, but those of you who love this game too will know which characters I mean!
3. The rest of Commander Specter's SEAL team!
4. Dante from Devil May Cry!
5. Kratos from God of War!
6. CJ from GTA: San Andreas!
I'm crazy about video games and I could be here all night making this list, so I'll just leave it at that and let anyone who's interested post some of their own ideas. Have at it folks!
