Hot Toys: Apes and Watchmen

[monsterfan]

Any chance that Hot Toys will finish their Planet of the Apes and Watchmen lines? Does anyone know if they read or respond to questions from USA collectors?

more then likely hot toys are done with those lines, unless they make a sequel to watchmen which they won't...

Would it kill them to release a Rorschach figure for an sdcc exclusive? Instead we get rehashed predators and Iron man ad nausea.

and Batman. Would be nice to see some unique pieces now and then.

My Hot Toys Ape boxes are in storage but if I remember correctly they feature a picture of Cornelius. I always assumed that Cornelius was going to be part of a second series.

It would be great if Hot Toys would issue missing figures to past successful lines. They could be online or show exclusives and very limited. The money is there it just seems that Hot Toys does not care.

Hot Toys appears to be putting some serious energy in to iconic vehicles, which I am supporting by getting a part time job. A great way to pump some enthusiasm in to their Watchmen line would be to finish the character line up, and give us a 1/6 Archie.

Why? Why won't you finish what you started?

Hot Toys had to have cut these series short due to lack of interest.

Sucker Punch didn't go beyond two. And Guardians of the Galaxy is still without Drax. What other series stopped short?

Drax is being shown now and will go up for order soon. The sculpt had to be reworked. The original one looked terrible. The new one looks very good.

Not thrilled with how this line has been treated. I was hoping for Batgirl, Joker, Catwoman (Newmar), Riddler, and Penguin at least. Instead HT just comes out with a recolored Batman. And the '66 Batmobile is either on hold or cancelled.

As for PotA and Watchmen those came out before I started collecting HT. I would have probably gotten both lines had they been completed.
