1/6 NEXT Hot Toys STAR WARS Figure...?

Sithblade said:

While Hot Toys completely blows them away figure wise, in the early Sideshow days of figures the prices were decent for what you got. Then you also had a more varied selection of background figures and aliens etc which HT seems will never make.

And now Sideshow charges Hot Toys prices for half the quality and accessories.

Won't be any SW reveals for awhile, it's going to the full NWH train from now, check that box office record.

Is there an embargo on NWH product reveals?

Certainly seems like it. No one else is revealing merch either.

I bet Kazakstan will be the next figure. Wookie sure looks good on screen.

We haven't gotten a new reveal in over 2 weeks and we know February is going to be a dead month.

It seems like the only Star Wars preorders we have got in the last 9 months are ROTJ Scout and Fennec, two figures we already knew we were getting. The rest of the Star Wars "news" has been trooper releases. I'm sure the above is a bit of an exaggeration but it's been pretty dull for a long time. The SDCC rollout of protos makes it feel like we have been duped.

There have been 4 SW pre-order figures at Secret Base for about 2.5 months now, 2 of them clones...actually went to 5 with the recent Fennec. On the plus side I think the girl at the counter was saying something about Rose Tico.

We probably won't see any BoBF figures until Feb. It's going to be NWH for a while. They still haven't done Hawkeye.

So strange that we've only had 1 character since August, Fennec, while the other 3 were troopers, making it only 4 pre-orders in that span, and 2 of them came on the same day.

Disappointing for sure, perhaps we'll get a late winter/spring flourish of annoucements like last year.

Could be worse though...we could be DC Hot Toys collectors...

I have to admit, I like the fact that we're getting figures "shipping" for a change, instead of the endless pre-orders.

The two Shore Troopers, Mando Tusken, Lando, several clones, etc., have all shipped within the last couple of months. Nice to see the list of pre-orders getting scratched off as they ship.

I do too, especially with how dry things were last spring into early fall, I remember how excited everyone was when the 501st trooper was pushed up a few months last summer.

But only 4 SW products, 3 easy repainted troopers too, in 5 months? and 1 DC figure in 5 months?

Perhaps Hot toys are playing catch up and are trying to release what they have promised since Covid sprang its ugly head?
There have been a few quick releases of late Star wars wise.

The anticipation for Snowspeeder Luke is beyond peak level for me now!!

As far as new reveals-i can't guess anymore.
Hot toys are flavour of the month and I need my Lucas era characters made!!

Agreed, as much as I love clones and troopers and how much I like Fennec, I need someone from the OT/PT/TCW that isn't a trooper.

So no Mando R2? lol

I've got a Sideshow R2 waiting for Mando Luke. May not have the cool looking metal dome of HT's but I think it will work out fine, for the time being.

I have the opposite, Tamashi R2 with metal body and plastic dome waiting for Luke.

Wouldn't it be bananas if Disney requested that Hot Toys do the Mighty Morphin Mod Squad and they go ahead and complete the set.....before the Bad Batch?

Chinese new year is quickly approaching, things might be pretty slow until March at the earliest

Hot toys is still asleep at the wheel...another day of nothing. Are we guessing a spider man or venomized iron boba strange hulk Thor woman?

Honestly, at this point I just hope they put the Hawkeye stuff up before the end of the month. They need to start catching up if we're ever going to see anything interesting from Star Wars again.

I guess the good news is that there's really nothing for them to make from Boba so far. Fennec is up for pre-order, we already got Boba and the Tuskens under the Mando line, I doubt they waste their time on the biker gang. I don't see them making Krrrsantan since they refuse to make another Chewbacca.

I don't know who else is supposed to pop up in this show but through three episodes there's really nothing I want, nor anything I see them making.
