Yes, that is right folks. Hot Toys has the license to the Marvel Universe. And the pic above is the announcement teaser from HT’s official catalog. For those that cannot read Japanese, here’s what it say:
Left side: Movie Masterpiece. Starting soon.
Right: Blade trilogy, X-Men trilogy, Spider-Man trilogy, & more…
Movie Masterpiece, not comic versions. This means, those that have longed for a good Spidey 1/6th figure, you’re about to get one. And it’s the trilogy they’re doing which means you will get Spidey, Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Venom, and Sandman to say the least!
This also means you ‘ll probably be able to get every X-Men character in the movies to date since HT is also doing the trilogy series for X-Men. Then Blade! Man, bankruptcy will surely be on the rise this year…
==============================
Spiderman and X-men, talk about a massive churning of figures. Though i understand the necessity for Hot Toys to hit the markets in storm and full force, reason being the rise in competitors, such as Brothers Production, DID, Enterbay making equal if not better products and licences that Hot Toys hasn't acquired. Hence this sudden upsurge in licences are to cement its crown position as 1/6th scale toy makers...
though its gonna take a toll on us collectors, nevertheless, i'm still excited.
Black costumed spidey and the classic red/blue, and most of all, HANNIBAL KING played by ryan reynolds! boy i'd love to get my hands on his headsculpt! possible Deadpool kitbash! Though blade himself doesn't quite interest me.

I want a comic Wolverine!
i'm pretty happy with the movie version, though i'm worried they'd screw us over with a DX. or another variant. though i think the new wolverine sculpt is still somewhat lacking the animalistic ferocity
Yeah, that's another concern Joshua.......screwing us up over future DX release! This trend must stop or else collectors won't bother to pre-order any new releases in anticipation of a DX release...this is akin to the whole TAKARA normal edition vs Premium Series movie Transformers toys some time ago...
I think HT can still improve on Hugh Jackman's likeness! The current prototype is already solid but I feel that the final product would be more wicked!
>>>Kenny, I think the comic Wolvie has already been done by Medicom... :)
@ the rebel - yeah man....i'm damn worried about DX....i do believe they might DX marcus ....that'd be terrible. besides..marcus wright Battle damaged head doesn't look very nice...they may improve on it in future editions at the expense of our wallets...
and YES THEY MUST IMPROVE ON HUGH JACKMAN'S SCULPT..with such a huge franchise, can't they get YUILI on board to bring it up a notch to its finese?? I CAN see jackman through the sculpt but i believe hot toys can make it better...
and if they don't, its a poor excuse, and partly also because they're taking too many licences at once at a rush to focus on details and perfection..
@The Rebel: Heh yeah, I know Medicom has done one. I have it myself. But another comic Wolverine never hurts yeah?
Hi Joshua,
FYI - The Toy sale at Taka atrium now has some nice Batman & Joker magnets going for a few dollars each. You might be keen on them :)
