Asmus Toys Godfather

[jra81984]

Yeah this figure is not 1/6 for sure

 

[Jbeltram4]

That sucks

 

[Darth Madden]

Wouldn't that base be better for Tony Montana?

 

[D'oh!]

I do believe that Don Vito was the first Hot Toy I ever purchased; quite a bargain at the time compared to today's prices!

Putting this new one at 1/9 scale is a dumb, dumb idea.

Isn't statue by the way, not action figure?

Yeah, it's 1/9th. I was excited for this when I saw it. Bummer.

I'd agree with this - I always said Blitzway would do it but it sucks they have gone statue route.
I'm working on a 1:4 vito myself. I was excited but then realising asmus did this in 1:9th not my cuppa

I still reckon BW would do a mean 1:6 scale vito and should of instead of the 1:4 statue.

HT must still have the 1/6 license?

 

[D'oh!]

I wouldn't buy it, but Hot Toys could get away with a new release simply by changing the outfit to one of the Don's more casual suits.

 

[SwedishHeat]

It seems unlikely that HT would still hold the license after so many years. They aren't issued in perpetuity. It probably lapsed after two years.

 

[spindrift]

So why didn't they do this as a 1/6? Much more popular scale for sales....yeah hard to believe HT would still have the license...this is puzzling

 

[galactiboy]

1/9?!? Why, why?!?

Having said that... even more impressive given the scale. But the scale does nothing for me.

 

[GlobalObserver]

MEGO-Style!!!!!!!

 

[Lee in MI]

Yeah...he’s a wee lad.

I'm curious how this will turn out. I haven't seen anything besides those three photos so hopefully we get more info soon.
