Hot toys will get the memo from Dizzy,just like Hasbro.

Though I would like to note that Hasbro made a new ROTJ Han because the only modern one was a 2021 reissue of a 2011 figure that was a retool of a 2006 figure and overall pretty unacceptable despite the paint update.

Disney likely didn’t have a trying to do with it. For once, Hasbro owned up to their terrible decision… after enough complaints were throw their way, but still. :lol

I wouldn't mind an Endor Han. I always thought his trench coat was a cool look. But then I'd need to hunt down that Endor Leia and Luke. That is a slippery slope.. Funny enough, I already have a single Wicket.

I'd get another Luke and Chewie if HT made diorama bases like this.

This would be a fun option as well.

But we know it will be more Vader and Fett.

You know, that doesn't sound too farfetched actually...

Bespin Han is arguably the most wanted Han figure. Had they released him there might not have been as much interest in a ROTJ Han. But now, people are dying for a new HT Han figure. Their ANH Han figures were released way back and often fetch a hefty sum on the aftermarket.

I predict we'll see a new Han and Chewie for the ROTJ anniversary. Both single packs as well as a special two pack.

Then a week after those have been released in HK they'll announce the ESB versions and chaos ensues.

I hope that you are right. I've got no interest in Endor Han but an ESB version is an automatic pre-order. AND I would probably pick up at least "2" additional Chewies, as well. Let's hope to see that chaos ensuing...

If I could choose 4, they would be..
ROTJ Vader
Boushh
Death Star Trooper
Endor Han
But since Han seems very unlikely, then another Ewok or 2 would be great!

Yeah ... I have a vague memory of some of your shelves with the customs etc., but I'm wondering what made the cut Star Wars-wise for the Mighty Wor-Gar?

Wow, well, I have a ton. I can't begin to recall all the Sideshow Star Wars figures I have in storage now, but I only started passing on their SW offerings when the Endor Rebel 3-pack arrived.

As far as Hot Toys:

ANH (11): Luke, Leia, Han, Ben, Chewbacca, R2 (SS 3PO standing in), Vader, Tarkin, Stormtrooper, Spacetrooper, Sandtrooper

ESB (6): Vader, Fett, Snowtrooper, Luke Hoth Pilot, DX07 Bespin Luke, Leia Hoth

ROTJ (5): Fett, Jedi Luke, Emperor on Throne w- Royal Guard, Scout trooper w- speeder

PT (4): Maul, Dooku, Sith Anakin, Cody

RO (5): Krennic, Jyn, Deathtrooper, Tank Trooper, K2

Solo (1): Mudtrooper

Mando (6): Mando v2 with Grogu, Gideon, Dark Trooper, Nomad Fett, Sarlacc-Escape Fett

It’s so exciting to think we might get something on the level of the AOTC 20th for the OT. Don’t see why not tbh. If only they’d made more of an effort with ESB, such a shame. While ROTJ is probably my least favourite (I still adore the film) of the OT it’s my favourite for character designs.

So many, and yet you don't have ROTJ Emperor. I'm disappointed in you, Wor-Gar.

I'd hope would skip Luke considering they went to the well twice on the ROTJ version already and the forthcoming Mando version with the uncanny valley head has a similar look but they'll probably go for it again and throw in the moving eyes and a cardboard backdrop and charge $300 for it.

What would be cool is a Leia/Boussh, a Bib Fortuna, an Admiral Ackbar and a Chief Chirpa ( or Logray). The big show piece set could be Endor Han & a new revamped Chewbacca with chain, bowcaster and as a bonus, the "Solo" bandolir (might as well dream big).

And if they really want to stop hearts, offer up their own version of Jabba!

Id be in for all of those.
More Ewoks a necessary.
They have the body,would have learnt from Wicket how to make Ewoks.
No brainer.
What may also work,would be a Rebel Commando.
They have the helmet and the clothes would be a cinch for them,yet basic non descript headsculpt holding it back.

C3PO would be another contender.
