HotToys.jp Ask Magazine Vol 2 - Rough Translation

Avatar is a dopey and crappy movie -- but I would like a Neytiri 1/6th scale figure just based on her look, how the scale will be, and the visual appeal of the construct.

you just wanna peep under her skirt right?

just kidding... peace

Avatar was fun but what is more fun is the thought of having a 20" Na'Vi on the shelf next to standard figures. Those will be a feat to see and definitely be one of HT's shining moments if done right.

And it gives me hopes of a in-scale Hulk when the Avengers rolls around.

If I have 4 apples, each of a different type, I have a wide variety in a limited number. That's not that funny. I get what you're saying though, you're just trying to bust their balls because they're releasing a very hard to obtain figure.

Comic-Con exclusives are even more "limited" and that's just been an accepted way of doing things, I don't see how this is any different. Hot Toys has always released their products to the overseas market. It's only been recently that Sideshow and DC Direct have started to import/distribute them.

I imagine the people in Japan/Hong Kong get very upset when Sideshow releases a figure that's only available in San Diego for 4 days, and they have to pay out the nose to acquire it. Exclusives are just a part of the game.

But Sideshow does make them available to non-attendees. Even if the quantities are quite limited. Its not even getting the chance that is making so many of us feel alienated. Its one thing to miss out during a PPO, but not even having a PPO is the problem.

thanks man never seen "love call" before. at first i was worried it was maybe related to booty call. had me questioning how HT get all these great licenses

as for 日本語, from about 2 and a 1/2 yrs in 鹿児島, back when i was 21. the kanji i learnt through self-study when i got back. i really need to go back and revise it though - my vocabulary now is nowhere near what it used to be when i was studying for exams. you?

九州 ftw! I lived in 熊本, on the border with 福岡 for a few years, and have tried to keep it up since moving back to the US. Didn't spend a lot of time in Kagoshima, but surfed there a few times. I actually started talking an advanced practical japanese communication class here i. San Francisco. Basically we read Japanese newspaper articles (朝日新聞、読売新聞 etc.) - learn lots of technical, terms of art type words, as well as the more formal written style. We also do JLPT "ikkyu" type grammar - really hard. I recommend the class if you're in the Bay Area.

Maybe next term I'll request that we read Figure 王 or the HT Japan articles for our reading assignments...

that's cool bro. i passed the JLPT ikkyuu a few years back, but because it was a few years back, i need to revise. i don't know anyone who speaks that formally - all my friends speak pretty everyday casual stuff so that's the stuff i retain most. sounds like you know a lot of hardcore stuff!

That's awesome that you passed the ikkyuu - that seems pretty hardcore too!
