Hot Toys - MMS 87- Planet of the Apes General Ursus spec + hi res pics

[creecher]

I definitely want an astronaut Taylor, though.

A bearded Taylor? I wonder if they'll do him with real fake hair as well. I just hope they don't do rubberised space suits for Taylor and the apes.

Its like comparing sex when you were in high school and sex now.

When you were is high school you thought it was great, now you realized it kinda sucked and NOW sex it great.

I dont even want to think about what I might come up with in the next ten years. Likewise, its hard to imagine Hot Toys in ten years

i guess some of us have better high school memories than others...

You bring up an interesting point... will Taylor sport real hair too? I'm thinking no since it is so short. But how will a sculpted hair Taylor look when displayed next to some hairy ape.

So when should we start giving Sideshow credit for Hot Toys' TDK stuff?

 

[Bonehead15]

This figure is just beautiful.


I hope I can afford this line.

 

[Sachiel]

Amazing as always. I'm not a big enough Apes fan to buy any merchandise, but like most of HT's figures, it's tempting.

In some way you probably can. Before SSC started distributing HT in the US, they weren't getting these huge licenses.

Fine.. because they're damn dirty hairy apes.

Riddle me this: Why doesn't SSC distribute TDK figures then? DCD is so credit where it is due.

You know you re going to struggle with the 1/6 Statue of Liberty diorama

I thought they had announced the Batman Begins and Superman Returns figures before that happened. Although I admit I could be wrong about that.

As for human characters; I'd prefer traditional sculpting on them. no hair.

Cause only DCD can. But like Dave said, SS helped HT get noticed in the western world beyond just the collectors.

 

[King Darkness]

Umm, cause DCD owns the license

And Sideshow has been distributing Hot Toys for about 3 years, and DCD has been doing it for, lets see, a couple months.

So yeah, credit where it is due. Sideshow.

 

[galactiboy]

And DCD's been doing a bang-up job so far

Answer: SSC won't carry DC because of their contracts with Marvel. That's why they won't distribute TDK in North America and why the only option is to get them from DCD, Toys2, Cornerstore or BigBad. And Hot Toys was distributing big licenses like Terminator before SSC began distributing their products.

 

[galactiboy]

Don't forget Mista305, IMO the best option for your DC Hot Toys figures

I'm not going to argue - but when HT was doing Aliens and Terminator on their own, they weren't getting likeness rights.

SSC doesn't carry the Warner Bros. product because all WB superhero movie licensing goes to DCD for either creation or distribution. It has nothing to do with SSC having the Marvel license.
