So, I guess Hot Toys posting on its Facebook fan page that they “wanna know who are the REAL BASTERDS” was not a very tough clue to figure out. As expected, Hot Toys followed that up with the announcement that they’ve acquired the license for Inglourious Basterds, the Quentin Tarantino World War II flick starring Brad Pitt that tore up the box office this past weekend for $37.6MM.
Sure, Hot Toys misspelled the title just like everyone else does, but don’t worry – the lethal offspring of the Pitt / Tarantino pairing is so strong that Inglourious Basterds is still the number one result when you enter “Inglorious” into Google.
Hot Toys The next Hot Toys MMS License is…Inglorious Basterds!
A cryptic status update on the Hot Toys Facebook page has many speculating that they’ve got the license for Movie Masterpiece figures from Inglourious Basterds, the Quentin Tarantino World War 2 film starring Brad Pitt. Inglourious Basterds opens August 21st.
MarvelousNews.com has posted pictures of the final prototype for the Hot Toys Marvel Movie Masterpiece Logan from X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I think the head sculpt and paint apps are much improved since the first teaser image we saw back in June.
Hot Toys Marvel Movie Masterpiece Logan from X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Sculpted by Kojun and painted by JC Hong, Hot Toys proudly presents the most mouth-watering figure from the latest X-men movie franchise – “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”, staring Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine.
Hot Toys has picked up the movie licensing for Marvel, and from the announcement it appears they’ve got movies past and present. Want a 1/6 scale Halle Berry Storm to go with the upcoming Hot Toys X-Men Origins Wolvie? Yeah, ok, I know she wasn’t all that great. How about a Hannibal King from Blade 3? Well, it’s all possible now.
Hot Toys Marvel Announcement Teaser
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 who cannot read Japanese, here’s what the page says:
Yes, Movie Masterpiece. Not the comic versions. This means, for those who have longed for a good ‘movie Spidey’ 1/6th figure, you’re about to get one. And it’s the trilogy they’re doing which means you’ll not only get Spidey, but probably also the Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Venom, and Sandman to say the least!
And, you’ve got to check out the pictures Eddie has of Hot Toys stuff at the International Tokyo Toy Show. Fantastic pics! Here’s a very small sampling of the low res shots.
The guys at Collectible News (a German movie collectibles site) uncovered this teaser pic.
This was announced back in April.
He is not an animal!
He is X-men – Wolverine – In 2008 Summer, the first Sci-fi movie to hit the box office was the Iron Man, and we were more than happy to bring you the three generations of Iron Man! In 2009, who will be the first superhero to reveal on the big screen?
Here he is – the Wolverine from X-men Origins: Wolverine – a hero who never gets old or die!
In this movie, the story tells about how Logan became Wolverine and the enmity between himself and his brother – Sabretooth. Our Hot Toys team can’t wait anymore to watch this most anticipated Marvel superhero movie, because…… we are ready to bring you the Wolverine 12 inches limited edition collectibles very soon, exciting right?
Meanwhile, let’s buy your ticket online and enjoy the movie before our next announcement.
