Hot Toys Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern?

[batfan08]

I think HT does what they think will be profitable.If the movie does well, I think that there's a good chance we'll see st least Hal Jordan. As for those who are saying "If it hasn't been announced by now,I doubt we'll get one." Sweeney Todd came out what,4 years ago?

 

[Gully Foyle]

Blame WB. They definitely have dropped the ball left and right on getting their heroes on screen and therefore allowing HT to really shine on them. Strangely enough for having all the heroes in house like WB has had for decades there hasn't been much crossover.

No kidding! The WB studio execs couldn't find their asses with two hands and an ass map.

Hope GL turns out well, or at least that it isn't a trainwreck like Superman Returns (and promptly leaves again).

Yes, but the fig is the result of a licensing agreement with Johnny Depp, no?
HT's wasting their effort on lousy licenses like Sucker Punch suggests that GL won't be getting the 1:6 treatment soon.
Maybe for the sequel . . .

What's to say that HT won't get a Ryan Reynolds lisence agreement? Hannibal King, Deadpool, Green Lantern.

and if one wants the suit to light up, that may be giving the problems right there. HT hasn't made the TRON Legacy Light up suits, so possibly they're struggling with that technology? but for no lightup feature, the GL suit should be pretty easy and nothing out of the ordinary for HT to do. just a rubber suit and there you go

I'm guessing Shay Marie, thats who mike seems to be inside this week.

Oh I see. Yah, saw it just now! You're right. Mike's like a virus or something? Haha!

Anyway, thanks bro!

 

[theironhulk]

I can see his suit having some light up feature throughout his body. But I would die if they made a sinestro... :O

Wow, for a wishlist thread there sure are a lot of people thinking this is gonna happen.

Thanks, me too. Book was 10x better.

 

[SilvioRivera]

think unlikely, not the uniform would look cool as action figure

 

[Capt.Yesterday]

Hope we hear something from hot toys soon

*sigh* Cmon guys just look at this CGI costume!

It's imposible to make in action 1/6 scale.
HT still haven't announced any decent TRON action figure and you already want even more complex 1/6 from them.

 

[intothevoid]

Why would you think it's impossible to make? Will need a damn good sculpt job but nothing is impossible about it, I would say the Iron Man figs are a lot more complex than this

 

[GodLike]

im looking forward to it..

The only way they could/would pull this off would be a uniquely sculpted and painted "muscle" body. Given GL'd be a one-shot, add in the less than stellar character appeal, I doubt it would be a profitable endeavor. Accessory-wise, all I can see is maybe an extra set of plain hands, shoes w/socks, a uniform and non-GL headsculpt (all to hide the sculpted/painted body). Though I suppose they could toss in a green 1:1 kid's flashlight or maybe a Playschool green blender as an accessory.

It all depends on how the movie does - if it is a hit then you can bet your life HT will make one, one-off body or not

 

[robbiethepainter]

I think to pull this off they would have to make it into a full rubber body, like Leonidas. Anything else would have really ugly joints because there wouldn't be anyway to hide them. If they went the plastic route with cut joints it wouldn't be anymore special then the DC figures other then the possibility of a really good head sculpt. At least with Tron they can do a combination of plastic, rubber and fabric. I'll bet HT isn't doing this because they don't know how to do it right.

Avatar did well and made two billion, they annouced the license and two years later still nothing, meanwhile prince of persai and Clash of the titans get preview pics and things before the movie came out so It doesnt matter how well the movie does.

Good point... but I still think we'll see those Avatar figures eventually.

Anyway, it would be a tragedy if HT didn't make this! Will have to commission a crazy custom project if that happens...
