Hot Toys Make Basterds

If you pay any attention to toy news here on Giant Killer Squid, you will no doubt have heard about Hot Toys, one of the best premium collectible figure makers in existence today. They blew us away with their Dark Knight line (their Joker figure still stands to me as the greatest toy ever made), they are about to unleash Watchmen on us, and currently have figures out for Aliens, Iron Man, Predator, Terminator, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Planet of the Apes and Resident Evil. Though costly, their collectibles are nothing shy of breathtaking making them worth every penny. 

Hot Toys can now add another license to their lineup, and this is one I’m immediately excited for – Inglourious Basterds!

We have no news yet on the complete lineup for the figures, nor do we have any images aside from this teaser:

So it looks like Brad Pitt’s Aldo Raine will be the first release. I’m sure as hell getting that toy. If I were to take a guess at who would be fodder for the Hot Toys treatment, I’d say Donny ‘the Bear Jew’ Donowitz and Col. Hans Landa are perfect, but that’s just wishful thinking.

No release date has been set, but I’d guess third or fourth quarter next year. We’ll keep you updated with images and specs as they come in.

How cool would it be if Aldo came with a bag of Nazi scalps?!
