My 2011/2012 Dream list for Hot Toys

Here's a recap of my 2008 wish list for Hot Toys:

M-Icon
Leslie Cheung (张国荣)
Chow Yun Fat "A Better Tomorrow" 英雄本色 Mark哥 (周润发)
Chow Yun Fat "God of Gamblers" 赌神 (周润发)
Jet Li's (李连杰) "Once Upon A Time in China" 黄飞鸿
DONE > More James Dean!!!
DONE > More Marlon Brandon!!! HT did a godfather as well.
Blade Runner "Harrison Ford"
Scarface's Al Pacino
007 James Bond "Sean Connery"

Personally, I feel the M-Icon has been lacking by interest with just Michael Jackson releases, it's time to expand others?

Movie Masterpiece
Star Wars~!!! (everyone knows this is the best franchise/license for the toy industry)
I still prefer a Hottoys 100% full control on the production rather than present with sideshow collaboration.
In progress > Indiana Jones~!!!
In progress > Superman "Christopher Reeve"
Superman "Lex Luthor" Gene Hackman
Godfather's Robert DeNiro
Godfather's Al Pacino
Fight Club "Brad Pitt"
Die Hard "Bruce Willis"
In progress > Tim Burton's "BATMAN" Michael Keaton
In progress > Tim Burton's "BATMAN" JOKER - Jack Nicholson
Tim Burton's "Edward Scissorhand" Authentic likeness for Johnny Depp
Tim Burton's "Willy Wonka" Authentic likeness for Johnny Depp
(basically any movie with Authentic likeness for Johnny Depp)
Remake Robocop
DONE > Remake Terminator

Japan
DONE by medicom > AKIRA !!!!!
Gatchaman
Captain Future
黒澤明 Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" 七人の侍

Hot Toys celebrates their 10th Anniversary in Tokyo with new licenses acquired for year 2011

Here's my preference in order, so which is your most anticipated one?

For me, Indy is my TOP choice anytime anywhere.
Time to clear space for this best version so far from Hot Toys.

[Media Release] STGCC 2010 Sets the Pace for Pop Culture Growth in Region

Pop culture is projected to grow in the region, with keen fans helping to boost the industry in Singapore and regionally. This was the view of industry professionals after the Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention (STGCC) 2010 ended its three-day run yesterday. Over 28,000 visitors, with a visitorship of 72,000, flocked to the show and gave the thumbs up to the quality and variety of the anime, manga, comics, toys, live performances and panel and academic discussions.

For some fans, it was a dream come true that so many of their idols were here in Singapore. Roshadiyanto Bin Ibrahim, 24, had been first in the queue for all three days, turning up everyday at 6am. He is a big Marvel fan and “I never thought that they would come to this part of the world. It’s like a dream come true!”
