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

I spit my water out laughing at that Han Solo Endor bust.

Who's sculpting at GG now - their customer support team? This looks like a realistic rendering of the 80s Kenner POTF Han Trenchcoat figure.

OMFG. WHAT is this drooling, weeping thing supposed to be? Is this an actual PRODUCT? Yikes. All that's missing is a wick so we can light it.

Hey I’m from England we’d put a potato on the flag if we could. I apologise on behalf of my nation for the insult delivered to potatoes, they’re delicious versatile vegetables and are technically Star Wars canon.

Po-ta-toes also made it into LOTR.

They're everywhere.

Hot Toys made only two figures for ESB anniversary (Lando and reissue Vader I believe)... no Han (even though the prototype was implicitly teased), no Chewie, no escape Bespin Leia... and ESB widely perceived as the most popular OT movie. What make folks here think they're gonna expand the ROTJ line far more than recently announced Shaw Vader and golden C-3PO ? I

At least gentle giant has a better grasp of which characters to produce compared to the 1000 clone and storm troopers that all use the same sculpt from hot toys.

Do you kiss your mama with that mouth spitting out such utter heresy, take shame on yourself...!!

I'm joking, but many of us would be fine with not fewer clones, but MORE. MOAR CLONES, who all have the same face sculpt for a reason.

I wonder if that Ford likeness is SO BAD because GG does not have permission to use Ford's imagery? I mean that is a whole lotta Spectacularly Bad right there.

It’s weird cause I’m not sure if it’s a likeness thing or a sculptor thing? Don’t know if you’ve seen their latest Indiana Jones line, but I think they nailed his likeness for the temple of doom statue that goes for like 80 bucks. Much better than their other Harrison ford products.
I’m actually convinced its a sculptor issue. That’s my conspiracy theory

Very important to remember this is prototype - Diamond Select/GG does not have the best track record when it comes to production.

That Temple of Doom piece looks fantastic.

Forgot to mention, I had Jyn and ST Han in the cart, as well. Got to the point for payment and it said that my CC had expired. Went to change it on another window but the cart timed out...

I had the Han Stormy in my cart but couldn't check out.

wait,they had Han Stormy up for sale?
Nice one.
I remember they had a warehouse find on Guiness Kenobi a few years back and I snagged a 2nd one at retail.
I couldn't believe it til it showed up at my door.

Jedha Patrol is saying that we’re getting more releases. Guess we’ll see if we get more later tonight.

I really hope this is true.
I remember Justin and ManofHotCollectibles saying the same a few years running and nothing transpired.

@Jedha Patrol anything you can divulge?

It's the 5th in Asian already, so no... we ain't getting more on the 4th.

Just a picture of Bro-Katan.

Maybe stuff for Revenge of the 5th

Being HT that would fit -

May the 4th - Clones
Revenge of 5th - ROTJ

Unfortunately, I feel nothing more is happening. We got what we got.

Hopefully I’m wrong.

Gah! It’s like Harrison Ford, Jeff Bridges and Kurt Russell stepped into Seth Brundle’s teleportation pod!
