luke314pi Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Snake Plissken by Sideshow: Very tempting, but I will most likely pass on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Yep, with Sideshow's rising Joe prices, I'm betting this will be around $200, way too much for me with having only a passing interest in the source material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 If the sculpt and outfit are of a good quality, it will probably sell well. I've seen a few attempts at a custom that have fallen far from the mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) I was gonna come here and post about that. The most exciting official 1/6 scale news in a long time to me. Love vintage Carpenter, including this film. Would love to see modern SSC also do the Thing, Halloween, or They Live!. Or really, any number of other, classic/cult movies. This is a huge niche that Hot Toys isn't hardly touching (with exceptions here or there like Crow).

karamazov80 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Pics of SSC's Snake are up. $160, which is a steal compared to most figures nowadays. He seems to come with a new muscle body, and has the snake tattoo. Edited October 22, 2013 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 $160 just might get me to bite on this offering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yep, I gotta agree, the price is tempting. I was really expecting $200+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I passed on the Avengers Thor, but I don't think I will be able to pass on this one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 WOW. That likeness is incredible. I might not be able to resist this one either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I just haven't liked the movie outfits for Thor. I wish they would have gone a little more old school. Not necessarily blue and black tights, but more old school viking god. All of these characters are of Norse religion (not mythology). My ancestors prayed to these gods and offered them sacrifice.

Twisted Two-Face Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 They're making TWO Thors? Jeez, that's ambitious. Honestly i like this one more. Or i did, until i saw the rubber arms. Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 The Thors look terrific. It seems a bit cheeky to release two, and it looks like the same sculpt. Has anyone seen the new Batman figure? I'm half tempted. Wish I could figure out how to upload a photo from my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 The new Sideshow 1/6th Batman? He looks great. I'd rather have a black version and am on the fence about waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 I like both of those figures (or technically, all three of them), but not enough to buy any of them I don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 The new Sideshow 1/6th Batman? He looks great. I'd rather have a black version and am on the fence about waiting. That's the one! I've always liked the blue in the comics, and it would help him standout on the shelf against other batmen. I might wait this one out, as am more interested to see what the Superman in this series is going to be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Sideshow has a Hot Toys Chitauri General and Footsoldier set that is $475 and comes with a few exclusive weapons. Anyone picking this up? I like it, but I am low on space and money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Did anyone else groan when they saw this exclusive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 I just chuckled a little. Hot Toys is what it is, and Iron Man is the cow from which they'll never stop milking. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I got Rainman's Travis Bickle yesterday. Only had a few minutes to look at it, but it's pretty freakin awesome.
