If you checkout Jedha Patrol on YouTube "Hot Toys Summer Showcase Reveals - Sixth Scale News LIVE" at the 1:21:34 mark is Red Guardian.

If Hot Toys didn't show a portrait or even a blurred portrait at preorder, they won't add one later. Why would like add cost for an expensive part and expensive likeness rights if people were ok with buying the figure without it. There's been some discussion about Mysterio as Hot Toys updated the final image to show a blurred portrait after preorder when up but then removed it. So I doubt Mysterio will get a portrait.

Hot Toys - Black Widow - Red Guardian

I hope Hot Toys make this, and don't simply 'show' it, like they are known to do with 'some' characters.
Blame it on the photo, but i think his red helmet looks on the long/tall side.
The portrait should sit lower.



Having looked at many photo's online, his red helmet looks flatter less tall/round.

Red Guardian looks better during MRCcollectionventures video. Apparently he is a work in progress.
For some reason Hot Toys have End Game Black Widow on display? ..but no Taskmaster, atleast not today.
Maybe they plan on putting Taskmaster on display later?

At some point Black Widow (black outfit) from Black Widow was put on display.

Hot Toys - Black Widow - Red Guardian from Sideshow NYCC 2021 - 5th Oct 2021
The presenter suggested the figure was up for pre_order. As far as i can tell, that isn't the case. No doubt Red Guardian is coming soon.

Red Guardian offered Hot Toys the opportunity to offer a real hair beard. Imagine that.

Hot Toys - Black Widow - Yelena Belova

I guess the Hot Toys Black Widow line is doing well, as they do not appear to be holding back.
I hope Red Guardian goes up for pre_order before Yelena

Yelena looks good, but i feel Hot Toys could have done a slightly better job with the portrait.
Mind you, look at how many attempts it took Hot Toys to get the Black Widow portrait on point.
Yelena's eye shape could use improving.

By the looks of things, Japanese collectors will have Hot Toys Taskmaster in hand this week.
Overseas customers who order from Japan won't have long to wait.
Those of us that want to pay normal prices for Hot Toys figures from Japan sellers will have to wait slightly longer, for those batch 2 figures.
Sideshow Collectibles customers will probably have to wait a whole lot longer, maybe 3 to 4 months longer, such is the state of shipping at the moment.

I guess reviews will be posted soon. I cannot wait, as i have Taskmaster on pre_order.

I was thinking, wouldn't it have been good if Hot Toys offered, as a surprise, an additional portrait without the mask.
Any one who has this on pre_order has watched the movie and knows who is behind the mask.

..on a side-note, what happened to Hot Toys Red Guardian ?
Will he show later? ..or has Hot Toys dropped Red Guardian?

Hot Toys - Taskmaster (from the movie Black Widow)

..is in the house
I shot these two photo's after checking the piece out, to make sure all was well. Fact is, Taskmaster was returned to the box until i find the ideal display location. I picked my figure up from Toys Wonderland, as they offer great prices, fast shipping.

In short, an excellent figure!
Given the materials used, Taskmaster appears to be very posable. I think i prefer Taskmaster with the hood in the down position.
