There are some things that Sideshow does that I don't think Hot Toys can significantly improve upon. Their latest version of Bossk, for example. However I'm waiting for a HT Maul. It's a mixed bag.
Re: SSC Luke Skywalker Deluxe Sixth Scale Figure
Well, if this is how it's going to be, I want my HT AT-AT driver, 4-LOM and Darth Maul. Like, right now. :-)
It's such a basic figure. I'm sure he'll have a second head sculpt like Yoda. Not that they shouldn't try to improve the smiling sculpt, I'm still going to display it with the neutral one.

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but does anyone think (or know) if this Han will see a re-release? Tempted to order on eBay from Asia.
I just hope Hot Toys does a couple runs of figures like Vader, Han, etc. for some second chances because... my Gawd... this showing at SDCC is panic-inducing. $$$
The first Bossk portrait is precisely why I didn't pick it up. It just looked too artistically interpreted. This new one though. Wow. I'm down. That is Bossk from ESB. Really happy they did this.

I skipped ANH Han. Just couldn't convince myself to like the head sculpt. Very pleased with this reveal. Was hoping TFA or ESB would be revealed soon.
Now I want a Hoth Leia. Skipped ANH for the hopes they...
I think I'd rather have this Finn and village outfit Poe rather than regular Finn and pilot Poe.
Only question is, will they make a village outfit Poe?
