Hot Toys Making The Matrix?

[MaulFan]

How do you know? Have you seen pics already? I assumed Hot Toys had their own booth.

No as far as I know, Hot Toys' representation at Comic Con comes through distributors, like DC's booth should have the Dark Knight stuff, Sideshow pretty much everything else.

Sideshow has the ALIEN, SENTINEL and WOLVERINE listed. The Sideshow site's coverage page for SDCC has a layout of their area with what products will be at what podium and the only podium without a listing is a special Stormtrooper pedistal, every other product is documented where it'll be on display.

Yep, don't think we'll see anything new (to us that is) from HT at the show.

Well I hope it is not too long a wait for either Spidey or Matrix figs to be shown.

Oh okay cool, thanks for the heads up.

Well I would say if nothing is shown we shouldn't expect both items until next year then.

Not necessarily, we don't know when the Marvel license was sealed, we could still see stuff before the end of 2009. Hot Toys hasn't historically planned big revelations for products at conventions, they might hold back a thing or two but they don't plan on it like Sideshow does.

It does seem like they might be moving more into a convention mode though... they did have a lot of announcements and new stuff shown at the Tokyo show.

Traditionally yes but it seems with their recent TDK DX Batman announcement (with a late Q1 release) it somewhat proves they're changing things up. I believe the days of seeing wooksters pics and then 3 months til in hand pics are over.

They seem way too busy to both be as speedy and give accurate release dates.

Still, I hope i'm wrong.

 

[MaulFan]

Well I'm just talking about seeing prototype pics, not getting something in hand, I doubt we'll see anything in hand from the new licenses within 2009, but we will at least see photos before the year's out I think.

It'd be nice to get some this year, but I'd be happy just to see them soon to know how they come out.

I would love to get:
Neo (lobby)
Morpeus (reloaded with sword, purple suit)
twins (two in one lol)

 

[Morbach]

there is so much stuff coming out. Hot Toys is going to keep us in a recession with all these things they make and all our money going out the window

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Agreed. It has been cool announcement meltdown lately.

Now that the Matrix license has been officially announced, Hot Toys should be open to discussion on whether they will be doing 1/6 figures. Is there a public forum or FAQ where HT answers questions?

Yes I posted that very question on their Facebook page. Respond to it and say we want 1/6 figures

Yes! Mropheous and the twins will be immense!!!
I remember the macfarlane 6'' line - the twins were like gold dust - impossible to find

One more bump to remind Hot Toys that they've dropped the ball on this license!

 

[MaulFan]

Sentinel is up for order, I am stunned that it's only $60.

It is pretty small though.....they only charged $70 for the T-700 Factory. But for this price, I think I may aswell get it - it's throw away money compared to a full figure!
