    Hot Toys is HOT!!!

    Man, This company is making some seriously great portraits.

    First off they are finally doing the 1979 Alien some serious justice.

    Then, the Dark Knight series is out of the park with the latest bank robber Joker chock full of accessories and a nicely tailored suit.
    The Two Face from that line is unbelievable as well.

    But the real kicker has to be Don Vito Corleone. wow
    liver spots and all. Plus a leather office chair as a pack in accessory.

    I hope the final product gets close to this prototype 'cos it is definitely hot.

    edit: I didn't mention the Planet of the Apes trio as they are in another thread, but those are awesome as well.

    I think their pictures are beautiful, but I was a bit disappointed with a Superman I got, though I haven't seen any more in the flesh.

    That Don Vito looks great though.

      Excellent Don Corleone.
      Does it come with oranges to puff up his cheeks?
      Chair's great, too. Very well sculpted.

      Now get me James Caan, with 500 bullet holes in him!

        I saw this.... It's outstanding.
        I am really excited about the Arnie Predator Figures... I hope they Make a Jessie Ventura & Carl Wheathers too.

            I would LOVE to see them do a Reeve Superman. They did Brando as Jor-El (and now this!), so it's not out of the question.

              They are Hot, they make some amazing figures... No doubt that they took top honors in this years Poppies ... It's the annual "best of" from Michael Crawford's reviews... It's a fun read to see what folks thought was the best in toys this year (I hear all the judges are super smart good looking guys!)

                They did do a Jesse along with the Arnold figure. Not sure about Carl tho.

                Jesse looks good. Those guys look really young, oh wait. they were

                  Of course the judges are all super smart and good looking! However, they aren't all guys :D

                  Yea, Hot Toys is definitely on a roll right now. I can't wait to get their Predator and POTA stuff this year!

                        Yep, everything about the BR Joker is excellent.



                        I just reviewed their Lost Predator too, from Predator 2. I was holding out for the Pred 1 version, and had avoided all the other Predators so far, but the Lost version was just too cool for me to pass up.

                          Wow. Hot Toys makes fantastic stuff! I don't know who this person is, but I think the sculpt and paint job is dead on. Check out the colors swimming in the pupils! FANTASTIC!!

                              Okay, you guys need to be slapped. That's one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, Scarlett Johansson (sp?). That character is from the movie the Spirit...Silken Floss.
