You wouldn't get that with InArt, they've only expressed interest in making the most popular characters from each line.

I'm all for it but I don't think Queen would branch out beyond the tier one characters. I would be happy to be proven wrong. I wish the knockoff companies would give aliens, imperials, and rebel troopers a shot.

I get it. However, it can sway HT to try harder or maybe try something different than just 10x Vader and Luke.

I think the situation is the 3rd party companies aren't even bothering with aliens like Greedo because they don't think they will make enough $ for it. Competition won't solve it. There will just be more versions of Lukes and Vaders. The only way HT will make more background SW characters is to have the Marvel shows flop or disappear. It happened at the start of the pandemic and we got a lot of Mando figures from that.

I don't know the reason why the knockoff companies don't pursue Star Wars. I always assumed that it was either because Star Wars aggressively goes after copyright stuff or because the knockoff players are based in regions that aren't very interested in Star Wars.
They already make some pretty obscure figures, I just can't believe some of the characters like Greedo or a trooper that folks would army build wouldn't sell better than a lot of the stuff I see on the market.

Mace - Hot Toys teased him in the background in a few of their official promo shots for another prequel figure preorder so I believe there's a better chance we'll get Mace compared to Padme... admittedly, Bespin Han was seen in the background before and still nothing.
Padme - other than some Con photos, she's never been featured in any of their preorder photos. Also, I wonder if the delay has something to do with likeness rights or clearance with Natalie Portman. For Love & Thunder, Thor is up for preorder but still nothing for Lady Thor aka Jane Foster.
Young Leia - LO-LA59 was included as an accessory with Obi-Wan so I doubt we'll be getting her in 1/6 form. There does not seem to be much (if any) merch for Young Leia, even in smaller scales.

Probably the latter. Marvel and Star Wars are both under Disney and 3rd parties make plenty of Marvel stuff.

Mighty Thor is up today. The face is blurred. When they solve whatever issue they have, I hope they can announce Padme with it.

Step in the right direction. Gives me hope for Padme.
I will preorder Mighty Thor in the hopes that Hot Toys does not butcher Natalie Portman like that hideous grinning Paul Rudd (Ant Man 2) sculpt.
I actually picked up some loose parts and bashed an Antman in Team Suit figure and I think it looks good!

By the way, I can see InArt releasing just a few of the major characters for the different licenses but I don't see them redoing entire lines.
For Star Wars, I would really just want a few such as ANH Tatooine Luke, Bespin Han and perhaps old Ben Kenobi. Curious to see what they could do with a Chewie, too. It would really be about the human head sculpts for me.

Anyone think we will get an updated dark side Anakin with Sith eyes?
Why, they just made that figure?

Those Marvel prices though...way too close to a 1/4 statue. $455 for a Spider-Man is bonkers.

$300 for a barebones Tobey Spidey figure. Definitely time to make a list of what last characters I don’t have but want and get out of Hot Toys collecting. These prices and wait times are just ridiculous. I don’t know if I care to wait until summer 2024 for a Tobey figure.

Based on the Andor trailer, the two sure bets as figures from the show would be Cassian and gloss white clone trooper. Maybe yet another death trooper reissue.

If they reissued Snowies I would absolutely grab them. Probably my biggest regret was selling that 2 pack with the E-Web. Maybe one day I can get it back.
