My answer remains the same when it was asked last-ish week...I haven't heard anything. Sorry.

Do you know if Hot Toys will be producing figures based on Expendables 3?

If you can't answer questions for HT I understand. If that is the case, can you point me in the right direction to answer my question?

Thank you.

Sorry, but we are not privy to any Hot Toys information of future products they haven't already announced. We typically find out about a new product and solicitation for it the day of (in very rare cases the day before) it goes up.

I recently got my blue batman bust and was literally blown away. I prefer it to the original, i can see why it is almost sold out at most stores.

Kudos for this unique piece!! one of my best SSC products, hands down.

I strongly believe a blue variant, paying tribute to the Neal Adams Era, Batman PF would be awesome as well.

I know I'd love a Batman from that era. I actually prefer the blue/gray outfit over the black/gray outfit. That said, I haven't heard that a variant was happening. If it does, it will be announced on our site first!

I hope you're doing well too! Although I wouldn't rule out that a Red She Hulk in the future I wouldn't say it would be happening anytime soon. Since she was already visited in her green form with a few different pieces in the past then the chances of her being revisited anytime soon are slim currently. Maybe many years from now but there are other characters being focused on currently.

Hi Alex,

It seems Man of Steel PF will be shipping late October.
But then we haven't heard or seen any production piece of this stat.
Do you have a sample of this? or are there any plans to add pics of the final product?

Thanks and God bless!

The one and only advance piece we received had to go straight to DC for their sign-off and will be staying there, so unfortunately updated photos before this item ships will not be possible. If the gallery is updated or a blog post is put up with a production piece it will be after people have it in hand as the piece that we will be able to photograph would be part of all the pieces arriving in house at the same time.

Alex, what about Alien and Predator statues? Anything coming? Also, in what form? Hopefully not busts or lackluster little statues

More are coming. I just saw something new today that is pretty dang cool. No I cannot say whether it is Predator or Alien related or even what kind of product it will be but it is from one of those two licenses and long time fans (I hope) will be stoked for it!

Alex I'm curious as to why there is so much secrecy and why it cannot even be revealed which license this pertains too?

Also why was GoTG PFs previewed but now in the wilderness. I recall some response that people will be happy with hot toys offering but they are different collectors from PF collectors.

There are restrictions as to what and what I cannot reveal. I simply am not allowed to reveal much when it comes to items that haven't been announced/talked about. I reveal/confirm if/when I can.

As for GoTG...all I know is that they were put into a holding pattern for now.

Do you think it will ever get to the stage where SS will be more open about their future plans for each line like Bowen in the past and XM/Koto and PCS. By comparison SS is like a Swiss Bank.
