There have been pictures posted on the internet of the Hot Toys 2011 Catalog and it offers an interesting sneak peek into what will be available in 2012. What Hot Toys promises to deliver in 2012 include "The Avengers", "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Prometheus" 1/6 scale movie collectibles plus Metal Gear Solid videogame 12-inch figures. Excited to say the least. Question is: Will Hot Toys be able to finish the work they started? i.e. complete the series and not leave us hanging. An example: what happened to the rest of "Platoon"? It seems they have all gone MIA (Missing In Action)!
Besides the figures that have already been previewed and shown earlier this year, Hot Toys manages to throw up a few much awaited and much anticipated pictures such as Captain America (Rescue version), the Red Skull, Loki, Spiderman Black and Samurai Predator, to name a few :)
Captain America (Rescue version) is the version of Cap before he goes after the Red Skull full throttle. Reduced to just entertaining the troops and raising money to buy war bonds, Steve Rogers is disheartened and disillusioned by what he has been asked to do, not being able to truly engage the enemy. When Steve realizes that Bucky (his best pal) was a part of the 107th Division that has been captured by the enemy, he hastily pulls on a pair of army trousers and leather jacket over his Captain America costume. With a blue helmet that has a white 'A' stamped on the front and his shield in hand, Steve goes off to rescue his fellow Americans.
In the 2011 American superhero film "Captain America: The First Avenger" based on the Marvel Comics character Captain America, Captain America's nemesis is Johann Schmidt / Red Skull (played by Hugo Weaving). Red Skull is the commander of the terrorist organization HYDRA and has plans for world domination.
In the 2011 American superhero film "THOR" based on the comic book character of the same name published by Marvel Comics, Tom Hiddleston plays Loki, Thor's adoptive brother and nemesis.
Having already released Thor and Odin 12-inch figures, Hot Toys has finally revealed that they will be releasing Loki as well so that's good news for all the Thor fans
The other stuff in the Hot Toys 2011 Catalog has already been revealed throughout the year and offers no surprise to collectors. What's not posted are pictures of the 1/6 scale Spiderman Black and Samurai Predator.
