I put that at about 8 feet wide and 12 feet long? You could live in it yourself.

Someone on Facebook commented there is a bit of Tom Cruise in there. I sorta see it - it's not a perfect likeness. I guess Harrison Ford didn't sign his likeness? It may keep the costs down I guess as the Nicholson Joker cost more due to getting his face on there.

In other Hot Toys news, Robocop is coming out soon and it's been revealed that a very, VERY small proportion is die-cast. Like, less than 15%. On a $300 figure.... people over at the SideshowFreaks board are pretty pissed about getting swindled by Hot Toys. Many are keeping their orders as it's a fantastic figure (including me, no way could I pass this - even without the Peter Weller head) but this should have cost $50-75 less. Maybe around the price of an Iron Man figure.

The purple highlights which parts are die cast. Seems pointless to even include it - what does it even add?

They have Harrison's likeness or they would not have made the figure. He's a hard likeness to capture unfortunately. Go back to their Indy and see they couldn't do it there and it looks worse here.

Yeah, I just spent $320 CDN on Robocop but wow, that's a bit much for a basic guy with some clothing. Chewie I sorta understand - it's all fur but even that should only be $229. Han should be more than $180.

Poster over at SideshowFreaks did up these custom turtles based off the new movie. It makes me sad/angry that we'll never get anything this good on a large scale from the big guys like Hot Toys/Sideshow/EnterBay. :(



Another guy did a custom Casey Jones and said he'd be up for a commission job - just waiting to see how much he'd charge.

$229 is a great price for that. Tons of poo poo comes with it - love the speech bubbles that fit the character. I hope they have some classics in there as well, mainly a brown suit Wolverine.

Hot Toys needs to get an eye expert or something in to school their sculptors. They keep on getting dead on for likenesses except for that one part. Or as a stop-gap, just start including sunglasses with every release.

Wait, what's wrong with their eyes? If anything they're always the most strikingly accurate part of their dolls, especially since you're able to move them where you want.
