Hot Toys loves teasing their collectors with upcoming figures, and they’ve teased the Hot Toys Ultron figure more than most. The Ultron Hot Toys figure was supposed to be unveiled at Toy Soul 2014 back in December, but no-showed the event. Then Hot Toys sent out a teaser image of Ultron’s back–usually preamble to an impending pre-order–but then threw us a curveball by putting up Captain America and Thanos instead. But now, the Pinocchio-loving robot will finally have his day–the Hot Toys Ultron Prime figure is now up for order!

Hot Toys doesn’t have the best track record of releasing major villains from many of the Marvel movies that they’ve manufactured toys for. We didn’t get a Hot Toys Malekith, or a Killian, or an Amazing Spider-Man 2 Green Goblin. We have a grand total of zero Hot Toys X-Men villains, and even Robert Redford couldn’t earn himself the chance to be immortalized in Hot Toys form. But while some big bads just don’t make the cut, there are others that are just too important to be ignored: the Hot Toys Thanos figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →Considering that Hot Toys released three Captain America sixth scale figures last year, another the year before that, two more the year before that, and one way back in 2011, you might think that fandom would be less than excited about yet another Hot Toys Captain America figure in the 2015 pipeline. But in actuality, Hot Toys collectors are psyched for the next Cap, as it looks like it very well may end up being the best one ever: the Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron Captain America figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →After Ultron no-showed Toy Soul 2014 last month and only new versions of old characters were shown at the event, some collectors had trepidations about exactly what the Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron sixth scale figure line was going to be composed of. However, today Hot Toys stepped in with a monumental teaser that alleviates those concerns: while we will be getting new Hot Toys Age of Ultron figures of the core six Avengers, Hot Toys Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Vision and Ultron figures are all confirmed now as well!
Continue Reading →With all of the amazing new sixth scale figures that Hot Toys debuted at the 2014 Toy Soul event in Hong Kong, it seems a bit ungrateful to be disappointed about something that Hot Toys didn’t show at the event. But Hot Toys announced three figures would definitely debut at Toy Soul 2014, and one of those characters was a no-show: the Hot Toys Ultron figure. But while we disappointed by the lack of an all-new Ultron figure, as a consolation prize, we did get to see updates Avengers Age of Ultron Hot Toys Captain America and Black Widow figures…
Continue Reading →If you collect Hot Toys Marvel Cinematic Universe figures and are missing one unique character from your collection, odds are that it’s the original, highly sought-after Hot Toys Hawkeye figure. See, Hot Toys made the mistake of opening pre-orders for the Hawkeye Hot Toys Avengers MMS figure before any other member of the Avengers and before the movie’s release, and as result Hawkeye MMS 172 has the smallest production number and the highest aftermarket price of the original Hot Toys Avengers. But, rejoice! There is hope on the horizon for those who can’t afford the original–the Hot Toys Avengers Age of Ultron Hawkeye has now been revealed!
Continue Reading →When Hot Toys announced we’d be seeing some of their Avengers: Age of Ultron Movie Masterpiece Series figures debut at this week’s Toy Soul 2014 event, I kinda didn’t realize that they meant they were bringing almost the whole lineup to the show. Even so, Hot Toys brought the core six members of the Avengers, as well as Thanos and Hulkbuster Iron Man to the event. But while some figures look polished and amazing, some of them are clearly just in-development placeholders. And the most obvious culprits of being works-in-progress are the Age of Ultron Thor and Hulk figures…
Continue Reading →Against all odds and expectations, Hot Toys announced earlier this week that they would be debuting the insanely-anticipated Hot Toys Hulkbuster Iron Man and Thanos figures at the Hong Kong Toy Soul 2014 event this week.
We had to wait a couple hours for the event to officially begin before they were put on display, but Hot Toys was true to their word: the Hot Toys Thanos and Hulkbuster Iron Man sixth scale figures are in the house!
Continue Reading →Given that Hot Toys already put two Iron Man sixth scale figures up for order last week and another this week (for a grand total of over $900 in pre-orders), it seems reasonable to think that Hot Toys might be done with old Tony Stark for a couple weeks. But that kind of logical thought process leads to fallacy, and Hot Toys knows no limits when it comes to milking Tony Stark! Digging all the way back to the Iron Man 2 movie for inspiration, the Hot Toys Tony Stark with Arc Reactor Creation accessories is now up for order!
Continue Reading →Ordinarily, Hot Toys kicks off a new branch of Hot Toys Marvel sixth scale Movie Masterpiece Series figures about one month–maybe two–before a movie is actually released. But for Avengers: Age of Ultron, things are a little bit different. Maybe it’s because the first Avengers movie was the most successful superhero movie of all-time, and maybe it’s because Hot Toys already has the perfect tooling ready to make it. Regardless, the time has come far earlier than expected: the exclusive Hot Toys Iron Man Mark 43 die-cast figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →A combination of being super-sick and super-busy has left me super-behind on covering the latest Marvel Hot Toys news from the past couple of days, but now it’s time to catch up on some of the biggest Hot Toys announcements in quite some time. While many toy and collectible companies are quieting down now and keeping their upcoming products under wraps until the New York Toy Fair 2015 in February, Hot Toys is closing out 2014 in a huge way–with the impending debuts of the heavily-demanded Hot Toys Ultron, Hot Toys Thanos and Hot Toys Hulkbuster Iron Man sixth scale figures!
Continue Reading →Hot Toys has managed to take us totally off-guard with many surprise announcements over the course of this year. But their latest product reveal has been, well… not exactly a closely-guarded secret. Starting at San Diego Comic Con 2014 and continuing throughout the summer and fall, Hot Toys has been “sneakily” leaving an Iron Man 3 Hot Rod Iron Man Hot Toys figure in the display cases at most of the events that they’ve exhibited at. I guess there was always the slight possibility that this figure was just on display to taunt us with what we cannot have–but no more: The exclusive Hot Toys Hot Rod Iron Man Die-Cast figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →If you’re a Hot Toys Marvel collector, Christmas may be coming a little bit late this year–as in, early next year! Today, Hot Toys posted a photo of the next Hot Toys products that are about to ship out in Asia, and will be hitting the United States 4-6 weeks after that. The update includes four Marvel Hot Toys sixth scale figures (that are still available for order), some of which we’ve been waiting for for close to a year and a half! Finally arriving in our hands this winter: the Hot Toys Star-Lord, Falcon, Igor Iron Man and Starboost Iron Man!
Continue Reading →If there’s a real tragedy about this summer’s X-Men Days of Future Past movie (besides the absurd lack of merch released for the film), it’s that we never really got to see Future Wolverine in action in his stylish future costume.
But thanks to the considerate folks over at Hot Toys, soon we’ll all be able to make Wolverine fight to our hearts’ content in his future attire: the Hot Toys X-Men Days of Future Past Wolverine Sixth Scale Figure is now up for order!
Continue Reading →Well, this is new. We’ve learned about Marvel Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series sixth scale figures in a variety of ways before, but I am reasonably sure that this is the first time a new Hot Toys Marvel figure has ever been revealed via… small sticker on the front of a Japanese Blu-Ray (does that make the X-Men Days of Future Past Blu-Ray a must for Hot Toys collectors? I wonder…). The Hot Toys X-Men Days of Future license was announced way back in 2013, and it looks like in 2015 Hot Toys may actually have a figure lined up for us–the Hot Toys Days of Future Past Wolverine figure!
