First new Hot Toys Johnny Depp teaser... and its Sweeney Todd

[galactiboy]

Now, if they said they were just making his chair...

Agreed, kind of like the lower half of Maul, or Obi Wan Kenobi's robes... those were funny.

 

[persuazion]

I would say this is real. Its not really funny as MC said. Its not something obvious like Sideshow's half Darth Maul or Stealth PZ. This is something people would and will buy. The only thing that could be a 'joke' is the line about more figures with chairs. But that is all I see that could be fake.

Professor X maybe....

Oh lord, If the likeness is good in this one I'd snap It up in a heartbeat!

God with this and the new Jack HT is going to kill me...or make me bankrupt what ever comes sooner...

 

[YoNoSe]

I just read some of the postings on Facebook about this and people are sad. They act like some one killed there mother or something.

Sounds familiar.

This reeks of April Fool's Day.

As cool as a Sweeney Todd would be, I almost hope it's a joke. Hot Toys needs to ship a few figures they already have in the pipe before any more new product announcements. When companies start announcing tons of products they never deliver it's a red flag they are in trouble.

HT isn't Enterbay. They deliver.

 

[robbiethepainter]

Im looking forward most to the chair. Looks really nice and knowing Hot Toys they may even make it poseable.

HT may take their time to ensure they are releasing the product they want to (i.e., Superman, Avatar), but surely HT's business is as strong as it has ever been. I have seen no evidence to suggest that HT is in trouble of any kind. The hype machine is a big part of the business model for geek industries like toys, so it isn't surprising that they release so many teasers, etc. ahead of time.

Never seen the film....could be April fools joke. If not awesome for those wanting this character.

 

[karamazov80]

This would be a very weird April Fool's type joke, because it is so believable and kind of expected.

I hope so. It's easy to become concerned after what happened to Master Replicas.

I'm completely the opposite; like my fair share of 'musicals', but this I could not get on with.

I am a Burtonite too.

Thought this was an April Fools joke until I saw it on their FB page. thoug I was hoping to see specs for Jack Sparrow, I can't lie and say I'm not thrilled about this announcement. Can't wait to see who else they plan on doing for their Depp line

 

[xjamiex]

I'm nervous about this one....I don't want to get my hopes up for a Sweeney Todd figure only for HT to announce it was just an April Fool's Prank haha. But if they are legit releasing a Sweeney T, then they have my money!

 

[vareika]

would be unfortunate if this is a 4/1 joke...

My guess for the next one is Depp from Platoon.
