Hot Toys- Platoon- Chris Taylor spec + hi-res pics

[Biojex]

If Toys2 has this for $140, I wonder if Sideshow will follow accordingly. Hopefully this will mean places like Alter Ego will have him for less than $130. If I remember right, the John Connor TS figure could be bought new at $125 when it was first released. It's been a long time since we could get new HT figures for that cheap.

I think SS originally had JC at $140 right? So it's very possible these figures will carry the same price tag. Either way these should be pretty "affordable" figures which will make getting the whole line that much easier (for me).

Great looking figure! I'm ordering this one as soon as it goes up at Sideshow.

 

[Voorhees27]

That sculpt is literally jaw dropping! Unreal detail.

 

[Platty]

Q4? I wonder if they showed the Sly expendables fig before the weeks out that would also be Q4...I can dream, right!

 

[dominishin]

Definitely surprised at Q4... hopefully Landa will be Q4 too!

 

[EVILFACE]

Well he is up at SS for $150. Anyone bite yet?

 

[gunm]

I will, but going to look for him for a better price than SSC direct.

I'll probably PO at BBTS they will have it a bit cheaper...like $144 prob.

I think your best bet is Alter Ego or VikingPlayground whenever they put theirs up... $135 perhaps.

I wouldn't be too upset about $150 though... this guy is humping a lot of stuff.

alter ego has him at $135. that's pretty much a steal imo. awesome looking figure.

 

[plasmid303]

I was hoping for $125 (like John Connor and a few other figures were), but what's another $10, I guess.

Really like this but already upto five HT preorders what to do, I hate when too many preorders come out together.

 

[Mongoose94]

Why are they making Lerner? What a waste!! I think they should have gone with O'neil or Bunny ( I think that was that guys name).
But there really is no reason for a fourth figure i think.

 

[a-dev]

True, there really isn't much of a need for anyone outside the trinity of Barnes, Elias and Chris. And outside of those you certainly wouldn't look to Depps character as next in line. The retroactive star-power of Depp. He gets a figure even though at the time he was fairly insignificant.

 

[Mongoose94]

yeah i have no idea depp was even in the movie until then third time i watched it. I saw his name in the opening credits and was looking for im the whole movie and never noticed him.
They are just using the star power of him to sell more. but its not gonna raise much. The three main characters are all you need

 

[EVILFACE]

With outfits and equipment being the same on most of the figures, they would not be out much past the sculpt, so why not?

 

[Demimatt]

oh man, I just found out its 1 head sculpt and 2 hair styles! FAIL! SO SAD! I wanted my Hot Shots custom!

Booooo, can we create a petition for 2 head sculpts?

 

[Kross]

I cant wait till HT show the specs for the rest of the figures

 

[cerealwarz]

Which ones are they making?

 

[hoodonit00]

Which ones are they making?

Besides Taylor, Barnes, Elias, and Lerner. Just watched Platoon last night. Tom Berenger as the Barnes' character was phenomenal. Have Taylor on pre-order, can't wait to see Barnes and Elias.
