Hot Toys Video Reviews

One Sixth Society videos give collectors a closer look at Hot Toys and other premium collectibles. Video can reveal proportions, surface textures, paint and tailoring that are difficult to judge from a still product image. The library above brings standalone videos together with their related written coverage.

What you can see in our Hot Toys videos

Our close-up videos examine portraits, costumes or armor, accessories, articulation and display options. Where there is a companion written review, it includes photographs and the reviewer’s findings alongside the video.

Start with the Hot Toys Terminator Genisys Endoskeleton video review or revisit the company’s early history through our early Hot Toys Ethan Hunt figure video. More videos will be added as the archive grows.

Continue researching a figure

Browse the Hot Toys figure archive for specifications and official imagery, compare independent assessments in our sixth scale figure reviews, and track upcoming releases through Hot Toys preorders. News, artist interviews and collecting guides are available on the One Sixth Society blog.

Video review questions

What should I look for in a Hot Toys video review?

Look for clear, close views of the head sculpt, paint, outfit, joints, accessories and base. Comparisons with another figure can help establish scale, while careful handling can reveal restrictions or fragile details that official images do not show.

Are these videos sponsored?

Any material relationship relevant to a specific video or review should be disclosed with that coverage. One Sixth Society’s purpose is to provide collector-focused information and independent commentary.

Find the right release

The Netflix Daredevil video accompanies our review of the older crimson-and-black figure. For the newer version, read about black-suit Daredevil TMS186. Other upcoming releases are listed on the current preorder page.

Comparing figures, statues and display accessories

This collection includes different kinds of collectibles, so start by checking what each review is examining. A statue such as Blitzway’s Rocky has a composed scene and a fixed performance to judge. An articulated figure raises different questions about movement, clothing and interchangeable parts. A Bat-Signal review is concerned with the light, emblem and power supply. A favorable finding in one category does not answer the practical questions in another.

For a large piece, watch for views that show the whole object as well as close-ups. The NECA Turtles and the large Colossus are useful examples of why a portrait alone cannot explain the size of a collectible. For a clothed figure such as Han Solo, look at how the jacket sits around the shoulders and arms. Use the written companion notes to distinguish a fault actually found on the reviewed sample from a feature that simply comes down to personal preference.
