hot toys to make 1/6th appleseed ex machina figures!
this news-update from Hot Toys made me (i think i just peed meself)
my normal blogging-practice (thus far) is: if there aren't any product images, the newsflash means jack = a hollowed scream in a darkened void ... but with this? i'll gladly make the exception and relishing the voidecho, babee! LOL - which is my roundabout way to say there ain't no image-leaks yet ... (within the next coupla weeks maybe)
seriously tho, if the characters to be released are other than Briareos Hecatonchires and Deunan Knute - then they really, really shouldn't bother, IMHO ... altho how much ya wanna bet tis a 2-part release? with separate two-figure sets including either one of the principles, with an additional support figure/solider (POTC3 comes into mind :p)Briareos is a doable-figure, now that HT has produced a 14"-er Drago (gawd i want that armor), and a femme-Deunan would work really well if they gave her back her anime-face (IMHO) ... but of coz we'll haveta wait and see the end-product first, yeh?
meanwhile, HERE are some images dugup from around the www to tease everyone (including myself) - as well as the "official HT-press" ... and peep movie-description and youtubed-trailers HERE = i feel like an excited young kid now! ... okay fine, NOT that young, but ya know wat i mean ... *coolness*
