You want to know what one of the most sought-after collectible figures in the history of Hot Toys has been? It’s not the grinning face of Jack Nicholson as the Joker of 1989. It’s New Hat Iron Man (LOOK HE HAS A NEW HAT!). Rather, it’s that merc with a mouth that stole the show in 2016 with the best Valentine’s Day film of all time: Deadpool.
The original figure that mercifully covered up its face (which apparently resembled a scrotum sack stretched over an avocado), was a runaway hit. It sold out within days, and anyone looking to grab that figure would pay a hefty extra on eBay. Fast forward a few years, and of course Hot Toys was going to have another figure ready for Deadpool 2: Sequel Harder.
What could they really add though? The film costume that debuted in the first film is pretty much unchanged and already perfect. Well, Hot Toys did have something to toss towards fans: High heels baby:
♪ I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin’ sky ♪
♪ I’ll be where the eagle’s flying higher and higher ♪
Everyone’s favorite foul-mouthed Merc is back! Fans are extremely eager to see the highly-anticipated Deadpool sequel since the exciting trailers released worldwide! The red-suited mercenary otherwise known as Wade Wilson is battling time traveler Cable, to protect a fire-wielding mutant youth, while assembling some fellow mutants he calls X-Force, an offshoot of the X-Men.
