i have to say, over the past few years, HT has become the go to company for all my 1/6 needs.
well...then again, they seem to be the only company getting the licenses that are worth caring about, at least for myself. but that hasn't stopped them from raising the bar and always looking for ways to improve their products. from tailoring, sculpts, paint and accessories, HT are always on top of the game. even their so called competitors are either playing catch up or, how i like to imagine it, "dude, we can't catch up with them, so instead of giving up, we'll just stick to what we do best...mediocre stuff"
yes, this has become a HT love thread, and i'm not ashamed to admit it. i guess what made me really fall in love with them was when they came out with figures from a game beloved by many, and is a particular fav of mine. resident evil 4.
prior to those figures, never in my wildest dreams could i have imagined that a toy company would release a 1/6 ver of a video game character. especially since the figures came out a few years after the game was released. at that point, i thought HT only focused on movie licenses, music icons. then boom! figs from one of my fav games ever. oh and not to mention the fact that the figures themselves were top notch. they were given the same treatment as their other HT 1/6 brethren.
now for many others, i'm sure there was a "holy crap HT are making figs from that so and so??! HT rocks!" moment that made you fall in love with HT. be it from alien, aliens, blade, hellboy, watchmen and so forth.
everytime i walk by a HT display at a toy store, i noticed that not only are guys gawking at the fantastic craftsmanship of HT. even females are impressed by their products. not saying they're gonna go out there and spend thousands of dollars on our hobby, but to have them actually stand there with the friends or boyfriends and say "wow, that looks just like so and so, or, wow that looks really cool", it goes to show that HT have made 1/6 figures into pieces of art worthy of museum display. i may be going a bit too far with that statement, but i honestly believe that to be true. i'm sure your friends that constantly put up a 'tough' attitude and calls them "dolls" to our faces are secretly impressed by the figs, but aren't man enough to admit it.
my recent purchases are DX bats (say what you will bout the oily abs, this figure still rocks the living hell outta me and it should in no way stop anyone from buying this masterpiece), DX joker, blade, wolvie, wesker, chris, and soon BD IM.
with spiderman, IM2, then eventually bats 3...oh and reeves supes...wallets will scream, but smiles will be felt everywhere.
TO HOT TOYS!!
