Hot Toys Hulk Preview
 

love it! I posted this in the Marvel area earlier, could you delete or merge the thread as i wasnt sure where to post it.

i thought it would be 20inches or something i think that looks more of a 17 - 19 inch one though

Please post news in the news forum. If it's posted elsewhere, it will not be seen as a news story.

I have removed the other thread (since this one is already linked to the news story), but have made sure to credit you on the front page.

Not worried about the credit mate, just wasn't sure where to post so thanks for letting me know for future reference :thumbs

Love the effect they've got with the jeans on this figure and the overall sculpt is amazing, i think his back could be bigger but until we get better pics i'm not gonna judge. I think this guys gonna have to crouch to fit in a detolf, can;t wait to get this guy

Oh

My

God!!!!!:eek:

I wish they weren't $150 to $300 each, or I would buy these in an instant! I love Hot Toys level of detail. Some of the toys, when placed against a proper background, are almost indistinguishable from the real actors without a second glance.

I was worried about Hulk, most of all, because he doesn't have a costume to hide the toy skeleton. From the looks of the preview, there aren't any moving joints... so I'm now very curious... Are they using a synthetic skin (a la Jurassic park dinos) or is Hulk more or less a statue? Can't wait to see more!

No problem. If you even remotely think it may be news worthy, drop it in this forum. If it's something we don't cover, or winds up not being news, we'll simply move it to the correct forum.

Thanks. :hulk

Knowing Hot Toys it would be synthetic skin

according to HT it isn't a complete rubber body, but that means it must be mostly a rubber body with joints underneath and some cut joints to allow greater articulation in the shoulders hips etc. I just hope they get the thickness of the rubber right so it doesnt hinder articulation too much but also doesnt fold up easily or tear because it's too thin. All HT are pretty much slightly poseable statues with accessories and real fabric clothes tho.

If I was ever going to buy a Hot Toys figure, this one would probably be it. But of course I would need another regular HT figure just so people would get a better idea of scale.

this is a pretty big project for HT, their Batmobile was awesome and so is Iron Monger by the looks of it but a well articulated 16"+ Hulk figure will be hard to pull off well. I'm getting one no matter what, i just hope it lasts and the materials and methods they use wont cause issues in the long run.

HOPE IT HAS FULL ARTICULATION. I WOULD BE AWESOME IF THEY DID A BRUCE BANNER WITH L.E.D LIGHTS SO THAT HIS EYES LIGHT UP GREEN!!!:hulk

Like I said on Sideshow freaks...


SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!


I would actually consider the majority of my HT collection to be VERY poseable, with the exception of a few. They are definately not statue like. I can usually pull off very dynamic poses, on par with Marvel Legends, and Play Arts figures. Some of the clothing can be restrictive...like Thors chest piece, but even with Superman and Captain America's boots...the rubber has enough movement and elasticity to allow the ankle joint underneath some descent movement. Hell....Ghost Riders's boots don't hinder his ankle movement what so ever. The only really restrictive boots I've come accross, are the boots on my super preds.

It looks like Hot Toys is in the beginning stages with this...it seems they have only decided on the shoulder joints and wrist swivels so far.

From what I've read, he will not be rubbery plastic over an endoskeleton...but a harder body like the super preds, with gloss paint to make his skin look real.

Cool, thanks for the insight. I'm still new to Hot toys and was just going off what i read and seen in some reviews. The harder body sounds like it would be great, gonna check out the super pred to see what its like

They did do a Wesker with led eyes, so it's possible, but I don't think banner would warrant enough demand.

I wish they'd do an Eric Bana Hulk...

and Hulk need no accessories... HULK SMASH!!!!

if its rubber its a no go for me. ive had too many issues with hot toys in the past. magnets falling off out of the box, warped pieces, general wear and tear of materials etc

No worries bro. I'm by no means a Hot Toys expert, but I have 13 at the moment. They have become so addicting...I have basically stopped collecting everything except for hot toys and Masterpiece/Classics Transformers.

I'm at least hoping what has been said about the "Super-Pred" like body is true, and the joints that are visible in Hulks shoulders seem to indicate this.

I think this is just a sculpt with only a few joints cut so far.

The rubber is exactly why I have steered clear of EVERY Batman so far. No matter how hard it's been...and with Keaton Batman....trust me it was HARD to pass him up. Even still, people are reporting the rubber leaking with '89 Bats. I'm really hoping the Hot Toy Arkham City Batman doesn't have any problems, as he is the one I want the most. MY Reeve Superman is feeling quite lonely in a world of all Marvel characters and Predators.

Here's to hoping that the rumors of the hard plastic is true, and no rubber is used in the making of Hulk

My Dark Knight Bats seems to have held up ok. I can post a picture if you guys want, but I think you might just have seen some examples of ones who were a bit weathered.

Oh for sure there is totally examples of HT Batman figures that are just fine, and although the problems have somewhat hendered me from picking a Batman for my Hot Toys collection, it really just comes down to me really wanting a comic book version, or Arkham City (as close as Hot Toys might get).

I'm talking about the documented problems I've seen of the rubber hot toys uses degrading in different ways. Some of the problems include either rubber cracking, or secreting a type of oil. There are many theories as to why the suits sometimes have these problems, and with the Keaton Batman...it is theorized that the oil is due to a chemical reaction between the rubber of the suit, and the plastic of the utility belt. I've also heard of this samething happening to The Dark Knight Batman figures, and Batman Begins.

1/6 DX09 KEATON BATMAN: residue in abdominal area, has yours shown signs of it? - Sideshow Freaks

You can check out the link to read up on some of the problems people are having. However, I'm sure there are just as many Batman figures that have no problems. It's just the luck of the draw when it comes to qc in my mind. I'm hoping by the time Arkham City Batman is released Hot Toys has refined and fixed this problem...I think they already tried switching to a new kind of rubber for Keaton and the "leaks" still showed up.

Anyone want to take a guess as to what this is going to cost?
