Hot Toys - King Shark - PPS006

The beast arrived today. He is the biggest Hot Toys figure in my collection.
King Shark ( voiced by Sylvester Stallone ) is what he is, a large sculpt with little in the way of articulation.
The only parts that can be moved / posed are his feet, hands, upper arms / shoulders.
The figure ships with one pair of swap-out hands and a starfish.

The figure features good texture work and a fitting paint app.

King Shark was arguably the most memorable character in The Suicide Squad (2021)

I probably would not have pick up this figure if it were not for the fact ToysWonderland had a great deal on:

$1280.00 Hong Kong Dollar
$163.00 USD
£137.55 UK Pound

I am happy to have added King Shark to the collection.
Has Hot Toys given up on The Suicide Squad, or will they atleast offer Harley Quinn ?

It makes sense to pick up Hot Toys - Peacemaker to pair with King Shark

Nice grab. I'm actually shocked HT didn't do Harley in her red dress from that movie. Peacemaker makes sense. (I've heard they've redone the head sculpt on that one due to complaints).

Really? ..maybe.
Is there not 2 Peacemakers in the works, one from The Suicide Squad and one from the Peacemaker TV series?
I will have to look into it.

I think there's only one peacemaker and they included a neutral face if I recall that was updated so he doesn't always have his tongue out if you wish. I'm surprised they haven't done a harley either.

I looked it up, and there appears to be only one peacemaker from Hot Toys
There appears to be 3 options when it  comes to the portrait:
Mouth open
Mouth open with tongue sticking out
Mouth closed

I assume the tongue is removable.

There are shots showing Peacemaker with terrible looking elbow joints.
There are shots showing Pacemaker with a Phicen / TBLeague type body (no visible elbow joints)
I am assuming Hot Toys upgraded the figure at some point?

Haha, that shark guy is super cute.

I love the shark guy! Looks great. But of course HT chose to skimp on articulation. So no hip articulation, although the hips are covered up. Way to rest on your laurels, HT.

king shark was the best character in suicide squad, loved that movie!
its funny how diametrically opposite the 2 versions of that film are, one is unwatchable garbage and the other a very fun romp.
you picked it up for a great price too, looks great.
im sure HT looked at trying to put in more articulation but without using a fully seamless body i guess theres not a whole lot you can do?

He is

Hip / Waist articulation would have been fairly simple to have included, and it would not have been visible.

I have time for both Suicide Squad movies, as both had their pluses and negatives.
The original had Harley Quinn and a whole load of music..
The 2nd movie had King Shark and what appeared to be a bigger budget. It was a shame that two great characters were killed off way too soon.

EXO-6 Seven of Nine (7of9) arrived today. Stunning figure in hand. Love it.

Looks very good.
Why do they cost as much as they do? (on ebay atleast)

Glad you got it, Mark.

She looks really nice, Mark! she will go great withe the others. Do you have enough for a whole crew now?

Because... scalpers. She was very VERY limited. In fact, Exo-6 ended up having to change people's orders (down to ONE per instead of 2 or more) due to factory limitations. The body had to be outsourced to another company due to the unique nature of Jeri's figure, so it's a one-off type of situation where that is considered, and the allocation ended up restricted in part due to that. So, the typical eBay scalpers have risen (pun intended) to the occasion.

Thanks.

Well, not really, but I have to try. Chakotay is on imminent arrival, so that leaves 4 characters to finish out the entire main crew of Voyager.

@Stryker2011 ah i see, i figured was much, when it comes to ebay scalpers.
While i am not into Star Trek, William Shatner (Admiral James T. Kirk) and Captain Kirt being the only two characters i know the names of, the Seven of Nine portrait looks great!

A 1:144 scale paper model of Winterfell (Game of Thrones ) - thankfully already assembled by the seller, the tiny size would have driven me nuts to build it. I decided it needed more snow, essentially an excuse to try out this Soilworks stuff.

The first thin layer was quite icy/transparent, so a second layer topped up the white snow fluff effect. I may have overdone it a bit, but happy with the result. Now it needs some teeny dragons……

That is really cool!

Looks like winter fell on Winterfell, literally. Which was the point.

Thank you, it’s pretty detailed!

Well indeed, well said!

I recently acquired a pre-owned but new-in-box TBLeague Ahrian Pirate figure:


I'm gradually working on assembling the figure. While there are relatively few pieces, the corset is tied together with fussy little bits of string, so it's taking a while. A section of "pleather" has become detached, but a dab of glue should fix it. I hope.

Great acquisition, Dave!

A remarkably nice photo, davidd.

Cool grab, and nice photo.

Great pick up Dave! she has beautiful sculpt!

davidd wrote:I recently acquired a pre-owned but new-in-box TBLeague Ahrian Pirate figure

Oooh! I was quite tempted to get that one myself, just for the head and pre-bubble-butt-S23B body. Good for you. Now I don't need to squirm anymore.  

Beautiful photo, too!

I got a new "figyre" Can you spot all the mistakes on the box?



How do such mistakes make it to production, I wonder?

LOL, let's see: figyre, armeo, leoparo... in their defense their script is completely different. But one might think they would consult someone with a modicum of knowledge before putting out the product.

If this is still in production, you might end up getting an updated version of the body. Just be aware that they do that.

I found someone with an extra Arhian head that I immediately bought for a crazy low price. I love the quality...
