Do you wish Hot Toys would take up where SS left off?(12in)

[IrishJedi]

Hot Toys did take a similar piss with the "Pirates of The Caribbean" line by not making a Barbossa figure.

 

[thenammagazine]

HT said they're done -- for now -- with Batman.

That sucks. Wonder why? Their TDK Batman was the closest to 1:6 perfection I've ever seen.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Guess they figured with the 5 they covered the big sellers.

Well, maybe they'll reconsider after the theatrical re-release coming up. I mean, it's not like the line didn't sell well. Even the re-order preorders are sold out everywhere.

BTW, they did finish the RoboCop line... . Though all they produced was Robo.

 

[Grange Wallis]

Yeah, but they'd have to remake all of the other figures... And the SSE ones would go for a $1 on ebay after which! I'm so annoyed they haven even finished the Fellowship!

I blame there lack of commitment to this line apparent failure, if they keep announcing new figures then this line would have gone the distance!

...and ED-209!

Now if only they could give us ROBOCAIN!!!

You're right, I forgot about ED. Shame on me! . Cyborg Cain would've been awesome, but how big would it have been in 1:6?!

Certainly no bigger than that ALIENS Power-Loader they made...or the upcoming Iron Monger...Here's keeping our fingers crossed that we might still see it. Eventually...

 

[Customikey]

If Sideshow truly has dropped the line, which I hope is not the case, I definitely would want another company to take up the gauntlet. That company needs to be HT.

I dunno. I remember seeing the stop-motion RoboCop on his shoulders. So he'd have to be bigger than the power loader.

 

[drbrad1975]

Heck yeah! But I really want sideshow to continue this line though....

Yeah, but they have all but said that this line is dead in their eyes....

 

[abake]

Is this a trick question?

Of course I would like HT to take over if SST has definitely dropped the LOTR 1/6 line!

 

[galactiboy]

I'd be all over it if HT took over the license... and I bet we'd see a 1/6 Sauron

 

[Blu Falcon]

Everyone, contact Hot Toys and ask them to acquire the LotR license and continue the line. I suppose it's worth a shot. It certainly wouldn't hurt.

Contact Hot Toys

 

[GondorGirl]

I voted yes...but only because HT dolls would shut you all up about SS's travesty in putting this line 'on hold'!!!

 

[hoodonit00]

I'll tell ya one thing. The SS LOTR line is the best one made, but after seeing what HT did with POTC, if they started making LOTR they would be FANTASTIC. Would completely blow SS out of the water. Not trying to be harsh, it's just the facts. Just imagine the head sculpts.

 

[ProgMatinee]

If anyone picks up the line I hope they don't redo characters right away, unless its Aragorn, he's the only one I think SSC really dropped the ball on. Faramir's paint is bad, but the rest of him is great. Aragorn is really the only one that I think they messed up the clothing on.

 

[Memnoch]

But it won't happen because LotR isn't big at all in the Asian market.

 

[FlyAndFight]

You just HAD to burst everyone's bubble, didn't ya?...

 

[creature4000]

even if HT picked this line up... we wouldn't finish the fellowship... they'd start over.
