Hot Toys Action Figures
It may not be one of the most creative names for a business but it is certainly catchy.
Hot Toys is a Hong Kong company based in Hong Kong. They make some of the most outstanding 12 inch action figures known to man. They design, develop and manufacture action figures famous for their impressive likeness of the characters of the movies they're portraying of which they have licenses. This was not always the case though.
Hot Toys started out small in 2000, and they first specialized in 1/6 scale military action figures. They grew in size, reputation and experience, and through the quality of their work, from 2003 forward they started getting licenses to create action figures based on movies, celebrities and video games and anime characters, diversifying a lot from what they initially started out to begin with. Just to give some quick examples, they created figures for Iron Man, The Dark Knight, Terminator, Alien, Predator; for celebrities 12 inch versions of Michael Jackson; and Astro Boy, Bio Hazard 4 & 5 and others as some of the video game and anime characters they made.
They don't just produce 12″ figures, they also tackle 4″ and 8″ action figures, along with their 3″ Mini Cosbaby series, Vinyl figures and their highly detailed and accurate 1/4th scale busts, just to name a few of their most successful deviations from their original field of 1/6 scale expertise.
While some of their other collectibles may vary a lot in price, most of Hot Toys 12 inch figures are sold at around the $180 mark for the quality of the work, the detail and the likeness to the characters. Most people buying Hot Toys action figures range from a specific movie enthusiast to an all purpose collector.
Hot Toys doesn't sell directly to the public. In Hong Kong, Hot Toys sell their figures through their official shop and retailer, Toys Hunter. They also sell their merchandise in several other countries to a number of retailers and distributors worldwide. Check where can I buy Hot Toys action figures as it relates to where you may find them.
Hot Toys figures aren't only popular for their likeness, you may be interested to know that they were also used in several stop motion videos due to their range of articulation allowing for a number of different poses. One of such movies was made by Patrick Boivin as a promotional video for Google's Nexus One smartphone. The movie was called "Ninja's Unboxing".
Refer to the official Youtube Creators Corner blog in the Youtuber's Guide to Action Figures post for more information.
With over a decade of experience under their belt, they have been able to acquire even more licenses, especially for movie properties. Expect to continue to see very detailed and life like Hot Toys action figures for all the major Hollywood blockbusters and other mainstream media.

Top Christmas Toys - RC Walking Iron Man Or Transformers Battle Ops BumbleBee?
This year sees two top action movie toys fighting it out to be one of the Top Toys for Christmas. The RC Walking Iron Man and the Transformers Battle Ops Bumblebee action figure toys are both awesome and will appeal to boys of all ages. But which is the best toy to choose? This article gives more information on Walking Iron Man and Battle Ops Bumblebee to help you decide on the best toy to buy this holiday season.
Iron Man and Transformers are two of the most popular action movie franchises that carry on going from strength to strength. Movie fans just can't get enough of the toys and merchandise that is released to accompany the various movies. The latest instalments include. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The RC Walking action figure is taken from the second super-hero movie and Battle Ops BumbleBee is taken from the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie.
The awesome remote control Walking Iron Man action figure is so authentic that it has been described as being nearly as sophisticated as the actual Stark Industries Iron Man from the movie! This amazing RC action figure can be operated using a small wireless hand-held remote control and has a very realistic walking action so he can move well across most flat surfaces. He can also fire missiles from arm and shoulder cannons, featuring with cool light effects and real movie sound effects.
The Transformers Battle Ops BumbleBee is a highly innovative and impressive toy that uses cutting-edge toy making technology to produce a large-scale action figure that remains very close to the actual movie Bumblebee character. He has two modes - Guardian and Warrior mode, each with a variety of features including different electronic lighting effects and phrases to reflect his change in character. The most impressive feature however is the highly detailed transformation as Bumblebee converts from action figure to the iconic bright yellow Chevrolet Camaro vehicle complete with missile cannons that pop out of the bonnet.
Both of these movie toys are fantastic in their own way and they are sure to be highly sought after this holiday season. Which one you choose depends on your movie preference and the type of toy you want. Battle Ops BumbleBee is a sophisticated toy and is recommended for older children and collectors; it may not stand up to a lot of robust play. The RC Walking Iron Man is more of an all-action toy appealing to a wider age range and is designed for rough and tumble.

Box Contains

High pressure space wings!
Now I bought this toy at my local Disney store, but I think this page would benefit from having at least one review on it
As a child of six when the original Toy Story came out, I had both Buzz and Woody when the toys were released. However grateful I was for that, its hard to admit the originals lacked the coolness seen in the films, this Buzz Lightyear IS the Buzz you see in the film with one omission - the karate chop action (though the one feature I never cared for)
The most striking thing once you get Buzz is the packaging - if you remember the awesome spaceship he came in in the films, they've done a fantastic job of recreating this (even down to the cardboard wings!), you'll get a certificate of authenticity with every Buzz too!
Onto the action figure itself though, he is proportioned wonderfully and he looks exactly like the Buzz we all love - he has many more points of articulation than the original toy released for the first film, his arms and legs swivel and rotate - his waist is on a ratchet and covered entirely in soft rubber (no hard plastic this time) which moves around, up, down and side to side
He has his brilliant Star Command flip up communicator in his arm, which when opened and closed makes wonderful sound effects, his laser has the same 'pulsating laser light' sound you know from the film also
The highlight of the toy visually however - is his 'high pressure space wings'. They release at the press of a button to yet more sound effects and spring out faithfully to show off an impressive wingspan, now this Buzz has lights on the tip of his wings, one green, one red and they take turns in blinking
Its worth mentioning that he has a couple of different modes, his 'space ranger' mode, and his 'toy' mode which are activated by his blue and red chest buttons respectively (the green is for the interactive mic feature). His space ranger mode is like having him come alive and he'll even complain about his eyes being sucked out of their sockets if you open up his space helmet (which comes complete with wooshing sounds), his head is motorised so he'll look around and talk - to you, about star command and even The Evil Emperor Zurg which occasionally prompts a laser blast
In his toy mode his head will remain static, his speaker will go quieter and tinny and he'll say a range of quotes you'd expect from a toy, (his sound effects such as the helmet wooshing, arm communicator and space wings will remain)
This is a pretty cool toy whichever way you look at it, and any child would really love it, but for those of you who grew up captivated by this particular Space Ranger, he now truly is the Swiss army knife of all toys, and as a result also the perfect replica
Perfect Buzz Lightyear
Thomas had described it perfectly.
This IS the authentic Buzz Lightyear that we can see in the movies. I think that nobody will create a better version.
The Ultimate Buzz Lightyear is incoming and it seems to be alife (but, for example, it has not wings), but this is the best toy version.
Buy it now!

Great Toy, but poor quality for the money I am writing this review on behalf of my son. From his point of view he loves it. He is 6 and I'm sure he will get a lot of use out of it. From my point of view, the person who paid for it, it is very expensive for what it is. The quality isn't what it could be either. The hatches and container lids often come off and if the tank was in the hands of a ruff child things could easily break off.
