Why Hot Toys didn't make human characters figures from the movies?

[Elder Fab]

Hi folks!

I know it's not a very big deal, but I ask myself this question for a few month ago: Why Hot Toys didn't produce any 1/6 scale figures of the human characters from the Predator 2 or AVP movies?

OK, we have the Urban Pred 14" figure and even the Elder one from the second opus of the Predator franchise.
We also have the three Preds + the Elder and two versions af the Ancient Predator, from the first AVP movie, and the Wolf, from AVP - Requiem!

But, why the Chinese company didn't make any 12" figures of Danny Glover as Mike Harrigan or Sanaa Lathan as Alexa Woods?

What do you think of that? And would you collect those figures if HT produced them?

Let me know!

I would like to see a Harrigan figure, mabey with his own bloody smart disc and half of P2 arm that he cut off.

As for the AVP movies, the stars were the predators and aliens. I really don't care for any of the human characters, but why did they have to kill off Charles Wayland?

id love if they did a P1

i would want a dutch

if it was P2 i want the lost hunters but those are preds so i know they dont count in this thread but still

 

[dark hunter]

I would buy Mike , Dutch and Lex.
I think they will anyway.

i got a little Lex figure... but its not by Hot Toys... and she looks lik a man.... does that count??

i guess it is not cost effective to spend more money on the actors individual likeness. the Predator and Aliens license is already expensive as it is.

I'm not agree with that because Hot Toys made several Marines 12" figures from Aliens while only the character of Ripley was important, in my opinion.

So, produce one human character figure by licence wouldn't be also expensive that you think, would it?

heck yes if they did that i be all over it like white on rice

I'll tell you why they did't make figures of any of the characters from any of the movies of the entire film franchise after ALIENS and PREDATOR.



because..




because...








Because they sucked.

BAD.




PS: all of them.








apologies for any cynicism, but the characters in AVP were so bad and so poorly developed that the CG and animatronic creatures were the stars... unfortunatley

Uh...you guys do know that they're already in the works, right?

 

[LemonFreshElder]

I want an Alexa figure, that would be cool. The Dutch fig looks sweet as well.

 

[CARIBE CREATURE]

Yeah.. Cool characters, derived from a cool movie, with cool actors who performed well, were memorable and deserve character figures.
ALIENS and PREDATOR..

Think about how memorable the characters were from AVP...

yeah best to just forget them.. Although the female lead from AVPR was decent enough and the guy in the chair from ressurection was great.

 

[darkpred]

The marines they produced held no likeness to any of the actual characters, and who know's why they fetch such a high price on fleabay. Personally I think your better off trying to make your own, there is a guy on fleabay that makes head sculpts that are really good.

That Dutch figure looks great though, apparently they are planning more after the release of these. Would love to see Jesse Ventura and ole painless!
