Re: Hot Toys: Ellen Ripley - Alien (Updated with new prototype HS) Man......you guys are harsh. I got the e-mail today seeing the prototype/pre-release, which was very exciting, and I thought it looked excellent.

I'm late to this party but these are among the best Chewie pics I have seen. I assume the glare off the light is giving the cross-eye illusion. It is so incredibly difficult to judge this piece without having seen it in-hand......the inconsistencies that result from piece-to-piece due to having...

Thrilled to get the opportunity to have the Han Solo and Chewbacca set so I was a very happy guy.......inevitably the people who ordered it on the first run and already have it will probably complain about value dropping. But honestly, for all the people here who frequent these board for the...

Yup - saw this when I was at Disneyland a couple weeks ago......it made little sense (for me) to buy it there. Especially since I am from Northern California and flew in for this trip. Carrying the box on the shuttles, through the airport, and on the plane along with other luggage? Big fat NOPE...

Re: Hot Toys – MMS 293 & 294 Batman Returns: Batman and Bruce Wayne (Keaton) Set I would assume Hot Toys will do a Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman soon.......a Penguin/Max Shrek set would be awesome too. I don't think they would only do one piece from Batman Returns.

Re: Hot Toys – MMS 293 & 294 Batman Returns: Batman and Bruce Wayne (Keaton) Set That sculpt is amazing, no doubt - but I'll give Hot Toys the benefit of the doubt because I'm sure none of us are experts on how the mass production process really works. And that particular sculpt may have...

Mostly likely.......they clearly patterned Rey's costume design off of Luke in the original film (episode IV) - much like they did for most of the movie. Pretty safe to assume Rey won't be wearing her farm - erm, "scavenger" - clothes for Episode 8. Doesn't bother me at all......the next movie...

Honestly, I don't see how they could improve the sculpt much - there isn't one thing on the prototype where I can easily say "this is what needs to be tweaked". Daisy's "expressionless" face does not have a whole lot of defining characteristics that would make the likeness easily identifiable...

Re: Hot Toys – MMS 293 & 294 Batman Returns: Batman and Bruce Wayne (Keaton) Set Surprised to hear they got replacement boxes since that has never been offered to me.......I'm not a HUGE collector (maybe only 1-3 purchases a year, if any), so this is in reference to 3 out of 6 purchases I...

Re: Hot Toys – MMS 293 & 294 Batman Returns: Batman and Bruce Wayne (Keaton) Set Psh....from Sideshow? They suck. Everytime I got a box with bent corners, I complain and they ask me if the actual figure is damaged. When I say no, they say they can't do anything about it. So they make me go...

Re: Hot Toys – MMS 293 & 294 Batman Returns: Batman and Bruce Wayne (Keaton) Set Ok, guys......I am not understanding you at all. Are you all basing your opinion off the prototype figure on the first post of the thread? Not one person is going to commend Hot Toys for the very much improved...

The outfit would be the same as the DX08 Joker - only with a beret and a little flesh colored paint added. I think it would be hard to justify a whole new release for that. The Heath Ledger Jokers got 'version 2.0's' released, so I guess they would have to call it a 'version 2.0' with an...

Re: Hot Toys – MMS 293 & 294 Batman Returns: Batman and Bruce Wayne (Keaton) Set The only reason JC Hong would've posted those shots of the Keaton head sculpt immediately after the release of the announcement would be because he knew the prototype was not up to usual Hot Toys standards and...

Re: Hot Toys – Batman Returns: Batman and Bruce Wayne (Keaton) Set Ok......my 2 cents. The publicity photo we got? Probably not up-to-par with the usual insane likeness and quality we have gotten accustomed to from Hot Toys. While I think they nailed the eyes/mouth area......the jaw-line...

Re: Hot Toys – Batman Returns: Batman and Bruce Wayne (Keaton) Set Don't be hatin' on Tonto.......the figure is gorgeous and I actually liked the movie. I think it just became fashionable to hate on the film. shrugs shoulders Have not bought the Tonto one, but it's tempting when they're...
