collectibles in Marty McFly and the
Delorean.
Perhaps even more amazing was
the Battle Damaged Robocop figure.
Their regular version of Robocop
from the 80s movie is coming out in
August, but it lacks the Peter Weller
head sculpt. Well Hot Toys remedied
that with a separate release to cover the scenes in the movie where
Robocop comes under some heavy
damage. The prototype head sculpt
of Peter Weller was scary realistic!
Continuing their classic sci-fi figures,
Hot Toys also showed new versions
of Ellen Ripley from both Alien and
Aliens, including the Power Loader!
They had released similar figures a
few years ago, but their quality and
technological advancements have

come a long way since then. These
new figures take 1/6th scale realism
to a whole nother level!
But of course, Hot Toys has been
associated with Marvel figures for
many years now, winning multiple
awards as one of Marvel’s most outstanding licensees. And the biggest
Marvel movie right now is of course
Guardians of the Galaxy. So Hot
Toys wasted now time in showing off
the latest prototype figures featuring
the whole team.
Each one looks to be an outstanding figure in its own right, with the
Groot/Rocket 2-pack, Star-Lord, and
Gamora up for preorder already.
Drax should not be too far behind, so
early 2015 will be an incredible time
for Marvel fans.

So all in all, Sideshow and Hot Toys
showed off some incredible collectibles this year. Hopefully when they
come down to Supanova later this
year, so of these will be brought
down to showoff to Australian fans
for the first time.
Of course, lots of other manufacturers displayed their wares too. Stay
tuned for another report next month
on the latest offerings from the likes
to Kotobukiya, Pop Culture Shock
Collectibles and more!
