Well, it looks like Hot Toys is back with their 1/6 versions of the 12-inch figure body. They should since they usually release their figures with more than one head sculpt therefore leaving collectors scrambling for additional bodies to fit the extra head. Previously the Hot Toys TrueType Male 12-inch bodies come with 1/6 scale head sculpts but these latest batch do not have heads. Does that mean that they will cost less? Hopefully so.
The 1/6th scale TrueType Figure – Advanced Muscular Body will have the following features: Figure will be approximately 30 cm tall (the tallest of the three - note the additional extension in black at the ankle region) with over 38 points of articulation. This will be the Advanced muscular body and will come with Two (2) pairs of interchangeable palms including: One (1) pair of relaxed palms, One (1) right palm for holding gun, One (1) left fist. Suitable for 1/6th scale fabric costume and accessories. Especially suitable for the T-800 series. Accessory: Figure display stand. Release date: Q1, 2013
The 1/6th scale TrueType Figure – Regular Body will have the following features: Figure will be approximately 28 cm tall with over 38 points of articulation. It will come with Two (2) neck styles, two (2) pairs of interchangeable palms including: One (1) pair of relaxed palms, One (1) right palm for holding gun, One (1) left fist. One (1) pair of thigh muscles will also be included. The TTM21 body is suitable for 1/6th scale fabric costume and accessories. Accessory: Figure display stand. Release date: Q1, 2013
The 1/6th scale TrueType Figure – Slim Body will have the following features: Figure will be approximately 28 cm tall with over 38 points of articulation. It will come with Two (2) neck styles, two (2) pairs of interchangeable palms including: One (1) pair of relaxed palms, One (1) right palm for holding gun, One (1) left fist. One (1) pair of thigh muscles will also be included. The TTM22 body is suitable for 1/6th scale fabric costume and accessories. Accessory: Figure display stand. Release date: Q1, 2013.
Previously some of the Hot Toys TrueType TTM bodies came in different skin tones - Asian, Caucasian and African American but it looks like these latest bodies (TTM20 - 22) only come with one skin tone. Safe to assume they are Caucasian skin tones since most of the figures released by Hot Toys are based on American films with mainly Caucasian leads. There is the Hot Toys 1/6 scale Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury but you don't need an extra body for him since he doesn't come with an additional head sculpt.

I am hoping they cost less and they put out more figures.
ReplyDeleteI hope that the headless bodies will cost less, too. Nice that they offer 3 figure types. Thanks for this update on the Hot Toys bodies.
ReplyDeleteI personally think that if is just posing a figure standing straight with minimum articular movement, is not worth to get such TTF. And is pretty exp. For extreme posing, this will do good compare to 3rd party stock.
