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

[joshuanewman]

They might want Batman and Cyborg to shine till next week. I think DC is next week, too. Question is what other Suicide Squad members will be on display?

All the clones were the same guy.

I feel like there have been a few million more clone trooper action figures sold

And almost every clone is more memorable than these old farts

You mean the cannon fodder in the movies?

Veers and Piett like fast battles and fast women. Original gangsters. I'll take one of them over a squad of clones. Vintage wine over cheap wine - you can get drunk easy and often, but a vintage wine you never forget.

I literally have to google which one is which everytime they're brought up, no matter how many times I've watched the movies I just do not care about these characters enough.

I'm the same, as I've watched the OT tens of times each since the early-mid 80s and had to Google them to see who they were. I'm not interested in figures of them, but I hope those who want them get them, but you'd have to imagine that they'd be behind Bespin Han, Chewier, C-3PO and even Wedge.

memorable old farts

Speaking of which, since OT is dead, when do you think the speeder bike and scout trooper will go up for PO...if at all?

 

[RandomHero]

I think it'll happen this year. Howard literally said in his interview that they were looking for a reason to make more OT stuff and Mando opened that door for them. I'm sure there's a few more figures coming. Scout Trooper should be going up this year, at least you would think.

I am hoping for ROTJ 40th at the latest.
Hopefully they'll re-release the Emperor, and release a Han, Chewier, C-3PO and Jabba too.

I don't have any illusions about the likelihood of figures like Veers but there are plenty of folks here who have severe delusions about future clones and the like.

 

[RandomHero]

I don't think people wanting more Clones is delusional. Depending on how the generic 501st Clones sell, the 212th could very likely follow suit. And some named Clones, not all but some, would certainly do well.

People who want Jesse, Gree and Waxer and such, yeah, that's delusional, but hoping for someone like Fox or Fives isn't totally out there.

It would be nice to get some of the clones as convention exclusives, especially the straight-up repaints, but with how the Asian market hasn’t seemed to gobble these up the way they do Iron Man and Spider-Man, I have my doubts.

I feel like Jesse would be more likely than Fox since most Clone Wars figures are from S7

also **** Commander Fox all my homies hate Commander Fox

is that why there have been two shows about Peers and Viett

Better than a kiddie show.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

It starts at 9am 30th July in Shanghai, and runs until 2nd August.

I don't think there will be much Star Wars for that show. SW don't sell in China... They'll save it for their HK summer show case. It goes till mid August.

All we seen in the pics so far is Marvel and DC, so you are right. Think it might be a week of DC goodness.

The second best movie in the franchise stars teddie bears, it’s all for kids

People say it is, but most fans are not kids.

Let me introduce you to Mohammet, Jugdish, Sidney and Clayton. Grab a seat and make yourself at home...

The only severe delusions are people asking for obscure irrelevant OT characters. Most clones will be made eventually. No plans for old farts.

I… I can’t believe I agree with you…
