Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers License Announcements from Hot Toys + A Look at Packaging of Superman and Indiana Jones
Announcements from Hot Toys released in succession - featuring The Avengers and Dark Knight Rises lines of toys in 1/6th and 1/4th scale (*gasp*), as well as a look at the packaging of their Man Of Steel Release (featuring the likeness of the late Christopher Reeves as Superman) and Indiana Jones from the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Here are the images and press-quotes!
For fans of the fictional celluloid-adventurer, the release of "Indiana Jones" in 1/6th from Hot Toys, no doubt is both aboon and a bane. Having had various incarnations of Indy being released before by a myriad of brands, it can be frustrating to replace existing collections, but on the same token, it opens up possibilities for a whole new generation of fans who want to score a replica of their fave hero! And what a better draw than to have an extra change of costumes too! I am not even going on about "likeness" comparisons or qualities - but just the ability to own such a figure, can be enticing! I remember seeing Raider of the Lost Ark and never dared imagine a quality of toy we have today, to be available!
"…we are proud to present the license of the 1/6th scale and 1/4th scale collectibles of The Avengers movie!
