Interview with JC Hong, Hot Toys Chief Painter and Product Designer

Jedd-the-Jedi got to meet a few of the good folks at Hot Toys during the Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention back in September. Over the weeks that followed, Jedd put together an interview with JC Hong, who is the chief painter and production director for Hot Toys. There’s some very interesting stuff on how 3D technology is affecting their business, and how the US and Asian markets are different. Read on!

Jedd: Hot Toys designers, artists, sculptors and painters are known for their stunning attention to detail, capturing tiny nuances in faces, costumes and props that the regular person wouldn’t be able to catch. How much access do you have to conceptual art, costume/prop designs, set photographs etc. when working on products licensed from movies? Can you walk us through the creative process that goes into creating a Hot Toys figure?

JC Hong: The Hong Kong team is very good at searching for photos, fully checking details, and giving good opinions to us. Most of my job is on human faces. For creating a collectible figure, communication is very important.

And, yeah, a statue of the T-1000 – they’re seriously upping the ante for those of us who have a T-800 already.

Hot Toys Announces The Avengers: Agent Phil Coulson

I’m a little late on sharing a pair of Hot Toys announcements from last week. The first was previewed by Clark Gregg (it’s a figure of him, after all) – Agent Phil Coulson from The Avengers. Hot Toys really nailed the likeness.

My only gripe? His Captain America cards are already bloody. Spoiler!
