1/6 Hot Toys Rogue One: BAZE MALBUS

[guyver1]

When I look at Baze reminds me of GhostBusters and the slime blower

The names that SW is coming up with since the PT are really ridiculous

Star Wars has always had pretty silly names. We've gotten used to them, but imagine if you were in your thirties in 1977 what you would think hearing Darth Vader, Jabba the Hutt or Boba Fett for the first time.

No offense to anyone but thats a sorry @ss figure.

He kind of reminds me of Dengar. Just thrown together last minute with no real thought put into him. lol.

I wouldn't judge them as harshly as Darth Maul-"ya to death," Darth "In"-Sidious and General Grievous-"Bodily-Harm."

Betting this guy goes up for PO next.

I have no plans to preorder anything until I see this movie of theirs.

Yes, the prequels are worse (Count Dooku anyone?), but my point is that the OT does have its share of silly names. Lobot, Sy Snoodles, Max Rebo, Mon Mothma, Admiral Ackbar...

I agree that the clean outfit, plain pose picks make this figure look pretty boring. And he does have a Ghostbusters vibe going on. I do think he looks better in the film all dirtied up, though.

Yeah, something went awry in ROTJ - maybe cockiness where they thought that anything that popped out of their head was genius. Many of the ROTJ Jabba creatures were poorly designed and executed and had stupid names as well. SW and ESB escaped much of that, but the few cheesy names like Lobot were made up after the film wrapped (he's credited as "Lando's Aide" in the movie) and often by the likes of Kenner to sell product.

It's amazing what a purely nostalgia-driven experience every new SW movie has become - RO imagery and name incorporated into the vintage Topps OT template.

The PT had some pretty bad names too.

Ric Olie
Valorum
Yaddle
Kit Fisto
Ki Adi Mundi
Adi Gallia
Ben Quadrinaros

Man what a load of bollocks we bought into back then. Commtech chips to hear your figures talk, jacking the price of a 3 and 3/4 figure up.

Haha - at $4-5 a pop, I'd take those prices again.

And man, some of those characters didn't just have bad names, they were truly awful designs - like Mr. Bug's Life here...

I just want to see this film, get it out of the way, then bask in 2017's warm CBM warming glow.

Hopefully the two upcoming convention shows will have a taste of what's to come figure wise.

From this, it's kind of sad that I want none of the rebels, not one. Just Tarkin and Krennic.

The only major figure stand-out to me is Krennic and maybe the tall robot. Even the Deathtroopers are feeling way too overexposed now - before the movie even comes out.

The rebels in this all seem so... earnest or something. Kinda boring tbh. I really hope the movie has some real fun - even though I liked the newest trailer, it all seems pretty dour.

You've all forgotten the Jedi master Yareal Poof

I only want Krennic because Ben Mendelsohn is ****ing amazing.

 

[Knightstalker]

After seeing this guy in action, i really want him now, thought he was great in the film, and will be essential, especially with Chirrut.

 

[chrisstbh]

I'll likely pass on this guy. I'd rather have Cassian.

 

[dmon83]

LOL at the first page judging the **** out of this character. He's so goddamn amazing in the movie and is perfect for Star Wars.

Same, Cassian is my most wanted out of the R1 crew, but Baze was a real surprise, enjoyed him so much.

I really hope they don't skip Cassian, Rook & Krennic. I enjoyed Baze but I really dont like his look.
