Hot Toys is currently the industry standard when it comes to deluxe, collectible figures. There simply isn’t anything else like it on the market. If it’s realistic detail, smart material choice, and worthwhile accessories you’re after, Hot Toys is the best of the best. With that in mind, if you’re wondering what the best Hot Toys figures available to grab right now are, read on to find out.
This Mando is in the Beskar armor, which is basically a more shiny, cleaner version of the iconic gear. There’s very little to fault here, which makes my job a lot harder. Thanks, Hot Toys.
The sheen on the silver parts hits just right, the color or the material is an exact match, and the stitch work is precisely where it should be. Honestly, I’ve been looking at it for a good 10 minutes and I can’t find anything to fault.
Even with Baby Yoda/The Child/Grogu, normally companies completely butcher his face, but Hot Toys has nailed what makes the little guy so darn cute. The Child’s stroller even opens and closes, and he can sit and stand.
As for the accessories, The Mandalorian comes with seven interchangeable hands, blaster rifle with scope, pistol, dagger, wired grappling hook, different effects, magnetically attachable jetpack, and, of course, a specially designed figure stand.
As a huge Spider-Man fan, I’m obviously going to argue one of the best Hot Toys figures is the Hot Toys Spider-Man Spider-Punk Suit. Spider-Man is cool, and this figure legit rocks.
What’s especially great about this figure is how much detail has been put into recreating the suit from the PS4 game Marvel’s Spider-Man. I know pointing out detail in Hot Toys figures is like saying water is wet, but it’s always amazing to see just how much detail is packed in. The individual grooves in the mask are some insane attention to making something the best it can be.
In terms of accessories, this figure comes with a red guitar (with authentic web pattern), five strings of webbing, an open web, spider drone, web sticker, display stand, and 12 interchangeable hands including relaxed, gesturing, and guitar-plucking hands. Suffice to say, it comes with everything you could possibly want. Nice!
Despite the appearance, Iron Man isn’t an easy character to get right. You see, it all comes down to the sheen. Make the armor too matte or too glossy and the whole look falls apart.
The Hot Toys Iron Man Mark LXXXV nails the sheen, and that’s why it’s the best Iron Man figure out there. The choice of die-cast mental was a stroke of genius. Real metal is always going to be the best route when it comes to making an Iron Man figure.
Accessories include a pair of articulated air flaps on the rear, detachable chest armor, and three pairs of hands – one set of which lights up. You also get a really accurate Robert Downey Jr. head sculpt to switch in and out at will.
Yeah, okay, this is one pricey figure. But, the Downey-accurate head, light-up features, and use of die-cast metal more than justify the cost. This is the Iron Man figure to end all Iron Man figures. Once you own this, you really won’t need another.
Is the Hot Toys Darth Vader the single greatest Darth Vader figure ever produced? Quite possibly.
I do have a soft spot for the Black Series Darth Vader figure, but there’s no comparing it with Hot Toys figures. This is the premium figure designed for collectors who want only the best.
There’s a lot to love here. Aside from the light-up chest piece and insane material detail work, I’m a big fan of the head. The helmet has the right level of sheen, which is crucial when it comes to characters like this, and the helmet breaks apart to reveal the inner tech. You can even see the mangled remains of Vader’s head. It’s quite the bit of sculpting.
On the accessory side of things, there are nine interchangeable gloved hands, a glorious cape, and rather than a flight stand, Hot Toys opted to go for a diorama-like display base based on the Death Star (which is AWESOME).
This version of the armor is based on the design from the Marvel Future Fight game. If you’ve never touched the game, the short version is the outfits are super stylish and a perfect choice for figures.
One of the many things I love about the tech-armored Hot Toys figures is how they incorporate small lights. It’s those little touches that really elevate the figure into another plane. When the main lights are off and the toy’s lights are on, they look so freaking cool.
Accessory-wise you’ve got four pairs of hands, an articulated shoulder cannon and minigun (with an ammo belt), four thruster fire effects, and a display base.
Hot Toys is all about detail, and they don’t come any more detailed than the Hot Toys Venompool.
It’s the small bumps in the mask, or the depth of the cutout area around the eyes, or even the smaller elements like the staples around the eyes or the yellow coloration on the teeth that make this one of those Hot Toys figures you need to see in person to fully appreciate.
Because of the sheer scale of this monster, the articulation drops from 30 to 20. I’d hazard a guess the reason for this is so the whole thing doesn’t topple over. When dealing with larger figures, you need to make sacrifices so it all works, and I applaud Hot Toys for making that call. It’s better to have less articulation and a figure that works than something that falls apart because it can’t handle the weight.
Accessories including eight extra hands, two katanas, pistol, smartphone, as well as an extra smiling head sculpt.
Everyone has opinions on Star Wars Episode I, but I think we can all agree Qui-Gon Jinn was awesome.
The Hot Toys Star Wars Qui-Gon Jinn is another solid outing. It’s the head sculpt that really makes it. It looks exactly like Liam Neeson, to the point where I’m convinced Hot Toys employs some sort of witchcraft to get the faces this right. Seriously, just look at it. It’s amazing.
It’s also worth noting, there are a load of different accessories including with Qui-Gon Jinn, which is excellent news if you’re looking to set up some neat poses. Accessories include a grey poncho, brown Jedi robe, interchangeable arm wrap with lightsaber, lightsaber hilt, lightsaber in motion, light-up lightsaber, comlink, grappling hook, and a holoprojector with hologram figures of Yoda, Mace Windu, and Naboo Royal Starship. That’s all as well as the figure stand. As I say, it’s A LOT.
The Hot Toys Hulkbuster Deluxe Version is just a little bit pricey. There is no getting around the cost. This is the ultimate figure for the ultimate collector.
If you can get past the price, this thing is amazing. Simply put, there is no other toy like it. It’s one of the best Hot Toys for a reason.
It’s the shape of all the individual Hulkbuster parts and the battle damage that really make this a one of a kind figure. Despite its size, it still features 30 points of articulation. Wild.
You’ve also got a way of opening up the chest to reveal a Mark XLIII Iron Man bust, meaning the posing options are endless.
Sure, this is an expensive beast. But if you’re a huge Iron Man fan, and want a huge Iron Man toy you’ll never need to replace or switch out for a better version (it doesn’t get better than this), the Hot Toys Hulkbuster is for you.
Look. The Iron Spider Armor is cool as heck. Seriously, if you’re after something different from the usual blue, white, and red Spider-Man get-up, this Hot Toys Spider-Man is well worth checking out.
Aside from the ridiculously vibrant colors, this Spider-Man comes with a selection of different hands (think fists or web-shooting hands), and the gold spider arms are completely removable and, in a stroke of genius, feature full articulation.
You also get a display stand, which is perfect for characters like Spider-Man. No one wants to display a Spider-Man figure standing on both legs. Why bother when you can have him thwipping through the air?
Ever since his passing, fans have wanted a way to honor the late king of comics. If it’s the best Stan Lee figure available you’re after, Hot Toys is where it’s at.
The Hot Toys Stan Lee is an exercise in perfection. The whole figure hinges on getting the face right and it does so effortlessly. From the wrinkles to the trademark smile, this figure is as realistic as they come.
It’s based on Lee’s cameo from Thor Ragnarok, and comes with all the accessories you’d want, including those terrifying hair clippers.
Accessories include a selection of different hair tools, Thor’s golden lock, and seven interchangeable hands, one of which is a Spider-Man web-shooting hand. Neat!
Black Widow may not be everyone’s favorite Avenger but if you’re building a collection, the Hot Toys Black Widow figure is well worth picking up.
I feel like I’m repeating myself but Hot Toys really knows how to make faces that look exactly like the person they’re based on. The Scarlett Johansson likeness is uncanny.
It’s not just the head that makes this figure sing, though. It’s the detail in the outfit, from the nobbled surfaces to the way shoulder plates are incorporated, it’s all just sublime.
For accessories, there are eight pairs of hands, a pair of batons, a pair of pistols, holsters for each set of weapons, and a longer baton. That’s all as well as the display base.
The Hot Toys Armored Thanos is without question of the best figures out there. With almost every other Thanos figure, the helmet is baked into the head sculpt. But this is Hot Toys, and the helmet is removable.
I own the Marvel Legends armored Thanos build a figure and let me tell you, it’s rubbish by comparison to this one. Hot Toys is legit in a league of its own.
If you want a clear example of how legit Hot Toys is, just check out the detail work on Thanos’ whirly blade weapon. There’s depth, scratches, grooves – it’s an insane level of detail.
If that’s not enough, the Infinity Gauntlet features lights, which at this point is just Hot Toys showing off. Seriously, this figure rocks.
One of the best Harley Quinn designs out there is that of the Arkham Knight, which lends itself effortlessly to the Hot Toys Harley Quinn figure. It’s the color combo and the almost ballerina skirt that really makes this get-up.
What I love about this set are all the accessories you get. Harley’s trademark mallet is there, sure, but you also get six hands, a Joker-style gun, a baseball bat, a paint can, and a little jack in the box. If you’re into posing, which you should be, there’s a lot of different options with this one.
Face? Looks exactly like Elizebeth Olsen. Outfit? A stupid level of detail even by Hot Toys’ lofty standards. Accessories? Glowing hands and reflective eyes.
Honestly, this Scarlet Witch figure is one of the best Hot Toys figures out there. It nails every element with surgical precision.
Just keep in mind, given how popular WandaVison is, you can expect this figure to sell out fast.
As with the Wanda Maximoff figure, the Hot Toys Vision figure is on another level.
It’s the detail work in the outfit that really brings these figures to life. We know Hot Toys knows how to do heads, that’s a given, but the WandaVision outfits are crazy detailed and Hot Toys clearly rose to challenge as it always does.
The big pink guy comes with six sets of hands, display base, and features a solid 30 points of articulation. Nice!
