Hot Toys and TMNT, a survey of sorts

Hot Toys is the big thing in figure collecting today. While expensive, the figures are extremely high quality with lots of poseability, accessories, interchangeable hands and sometimes even interchangeable heads.

Here are some examples, if you aren't familiar:

So, what are the chances we will see TMNT Hot Toys? I believe this depends entirely on the success of the next live action film. If it does well, and not only rakes in the cash but actually turns out to be a quality action/sci-fi film on the same level with the recent Marvel and DC stuff, it's very possible we could see some TMNT hot toys... done in the new film style, of course. Not that we know what that style is, but... we will.

Prices on Hot Toys varies tremendously depending on what you get. You can get some idea of the prices here. Generally just below $200 for 1:6 scale figures and upwards to $500 for the really tricked-out stuff. For vehicles and 1:4 figures it can go higher.

They would probably roll out only 1 turtle at first (probably Leo) and 1 or 2 of the supporting characters -- Shredder probably being one. Then they'd release the other turtles gradually. Another bonus is that Hot Toys are generally all in scale, so they would fit in nicely with the other stuff they've done.

I'm just curious what everyone here thinks of Hot Toys. Would you buy TMNT Hot Toys? What would you like to see out of them?
