Got that email yesterday. Will be interesting to see. I wonder if it will be Barbossa.

There's a conundrum - the traditional armor will be great, but I'd be wanting Lau, Li and Kaneshiro's figures for modern apps.

 

[Darth Maleval]

Oh i hope its a Davy Jones, that would kick A$$

 

[CorranJ]

I'm sooo hoping for Davy Jones!!!

 

[Solid Snake]

Barbossa, Davy Jones, or Bootstrap Bill... I'd much prefer Barbossa or Bootstrap.

Nifty. Medieval Europe's more my area of interest as far as "pre-modern" stuff goes, but these guys look like they could be pretty cool.

I thought Jet Li once said that the movie 霍元甲 will be his last Qing-esque role? Hmm... guess Holywood isn't a bed of roses for him :lol OK, I digress.
I am equally excited too that we'll soon get to see early Qing (the mid 1600s) armour in 1:6 and I'll definitely be start saving money for them. I just hope HT put in effort to make the armour ie in leather (or pleather) with added armour pcs details in metal (or hard plastics). The SEA International's 3 Kingdom figure's armour just isn't right being all molded out in one solid piece. Same goes to the recently release Medicom's Monkey King.
Can't wait to see prototype figure of these. Good preview HT :thumb

???was to be his last movie that will be based on an actual person. Not Qing-esque role.

That's excellent news from HT! And all because I don't buy movie related figures.

I hope it's Barbossa or Davy Jones!! That would be awesome!

 

[doomhammer]

For the sake of my collection I hope for as many 'human' releases as possible. That said I'd probably buy a Davy Jones though.

 

[grangewallis]

If it not Barbossa I'll be very upset... Davy Jones would be awesome though!!

 

[USMC Maggot]

Except that looks more like Uma Thurman then Keira Knightley...

Davey Jones would be awesome! But Barbarossa would be very cool too and seems much more likely.

 

[Silas_Loki]

Definately an Uma Thurman look-alike

Your right,it looks like Uma Thurman,it does not look like Keira at all, too bad Keira is HOTT.

 

[Come In Nighthawk]

If it [is] not Barbossa[,] I'll be very upset...

I'd not go that far, but, I would very MUCH like to see Barbossa... speakin' strictly fur meself... Arrrrrgggh! :lol
