Hot Toys Royal Guard

[Xeno Junkie]

How in the hell have we not been offered a two pack of these? We have two packs of all sorts of trooper, Han and Chewy, Vader and Tarkin, Rey and BB8 etc...

This is an actual figure that needs a two pack. Come on HotToys!!!

One thought I had was there's not really an exclusive item to give the two pack. Obviously I wouldn't care as it'd save money either way, but I can't think of an exclusive item they could throw into the 2 pack that they usually do. Nothing that would make sense since these guys don't really do anything in the movies.

Maybe an extra large base with a spot for the throne?

Or could you imagine a 1:6 Emperor window!? Now THAT would push a two pack!

I think the main thing is HTs know a lot of people will get two whether there is a two pack or not. They likely make a better margin producing just single packs.

Yep, that’s exactly what I think too.

Oh HotToys... how my wallet hates you.

That stupid bazooka from Battlefront could be the "exclusive" item.

Would Hots Toys or sideshow venture into the Crimson Empire Series Royal Guards ?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Are those girls?

It would be really cool if Hot Toys started releasing figures in a given series that each have a piece of a diorama included with them. Even if it's an EX/deluxe version. Like the Marvel Legends BAFs. These royal guards could have pieces that add to the throne room.

Looking at that blade, the more active fighting stance and the number of them I'd say they already did......

Been hovering over the preorder button on these for over a week now...

Must... resist...

So much detail into a simple figure. The fabric looks great !!

Sideshow had a fan poll for their first EU sixth scale figure once upon a time. Kir Kanos was in it and came second, Snow Bunny Padme came first and won so they made her in sixth scale. Sideshow said they would make all the characters in the fan poll but only made Asajj Ventress and Grand Admiral Thrawn, they never made the others- Mira Jade, Quinlan Vos or Kir Kanos.
Sideshow loves to lie to their fans.

To think, Padme in that snow outfit won out in that line-up.

Shortround, Mola Ram, the Max Rebo band and a 1/6 landspeeder still lurk in somewhere in the Sideshow "promised products" warehouse.

 

[DarthRusty]

The Max Reno Band (original. Not the crappy CG mess) would be incredible.

& I would love to add 2 of these a Royal Guards to my collection.

A 1/6 Max Rebo Band would be amazing.

Maybe cool, but they've been tainted ever since the special edition for me
