Hot Toys Reveals Tonto from The Lone Ranger

Hot Toys Tonto from The Lone Ranger 1

Hot Toys teased their Tonto figure from The Lone Ranger leading up to SDCC, where we saw Tonto at the Sideshow Toys booth. It took a few weeks, but finally, here’s the official press release with some pretty pictures.

The Lone Ranger is one of this summer’s tentpole movies that I still have not seen. Judging from the box office results, sounds like it had some trouble getting a broad audience outside the people that love Johnny Depp’s eclectic performances. Will we get an Armie Hammer Lone Ranger from Hot Toys? I can’t imagine Tonto without him, but I also never thought I’d see a Lone Ranger movie where the sidekick gets top billing. Come to think of it, I guess I haven’t… yet.

Tonto is available for pre-order from Sideshow Collectibles and BigBadToyStore for $204.99. He’s due out in 1st quarter 2014.

Win the Exclusive Rescue Version Hot Toys Captain America from Sideshow

I’d love to have the contest and giveaway budget that the good folks at Sideshow Toys seem to have. Here’s a contest on the Sideshow Facebook page for the Rescue version of Captain America that was a summer exclusive from Hot Toys last year. You’re going to have to do a little work for this one, though – they want you to share who would be Bucky to your Captain America. There’s already quite a few heartfelt tributes in there. Should be an inspirational read by the time the contest comes to a conclusion this Sunday.

STGCC 2013 - Jedd and the Iron Babes

Hey everyone, here’s part 1 of my requisite mega picture post for the Singapore Toy Games and Comics Convention. This year, the event was sponsored by Marvel and they pulled out all the stops, including a life-sized Hall of Armour. I’m very much a DC person myself, but what can you do? And hey, Iron Man’s cool no matter how you slice it.
