Agreed, would be nice to get a surprise

And that surprised should be Padme

They already released the 501st Trooper so just release Rex for **** sake. He was supposed to be out ages ago.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Love Mando.
Love Boba.
But as far as star wars reveals this year...so far it's crap.
Really does make me wonder if they are holding back a little for Sideshow Con.
Otherwise,"This party's over!"

Not necessarily ages ago, Sideshow is never right with releases, always go by the Hot Toys website which says Q2-3 which ends in September

Thank you for the valuable information TurdFurgusonsHat I really appreciate the insight, but seriously though most releases make it into Hot Toys ETA compared to Sideshows BS one

"Sideshow is proud to re-offer our extremely popular Snow-bunny Padme..."

Yep, if we don’t see any pt/ot prototypes at sideshow con, it may be a long 2 years with 75 mandalorian releases backed up. I have a bad feeling about this.

Will probably learn there what is RIP for SW. Seems like the Showcase was Marvel focused with a touch of DC.

Why not? Sideshow and HT both have now reissued figures that are ten years old.

I'd say 10 year old HT figures hold up a lot more than 10 year old SS figures .

As much as I agree with a lot of the complaints regarding HT Iron Man obsession and the lack of OT Star Wars figures there is certain amount of entitlement goin on here. Hot Toys have always made clear the main focus is their own domestic market.

I was baffled by the Iron Strange figure but it has over 15k likes on their Facebook page right now. Far more than any of the other recent announcements. Fett on throne 2.1k likes.

You can't blame a company for providing what the majority of their customers want however frustrating that that might be for the rest of us.

If it wasn't for Howard's own love of Star Wars and The Mandalorian in particular its doubtful we'd get even half the figures we have so far.

If HT DOES make the Marshall, they have their slim body that would be perfect to represent Timothy Olyphants stature. The armor kind of hung on his frame.

Generally true and few things have been as awful as that Padme...

I would love for that to be the surprise announcement but then I think about how weird companies are to justify doing/not doing things and can picture them saying it's too close to Boba that's already on PO and they don't want to confuse buyers

 

[chrisstbh]

Cobb Vanth will be an exclusive next year, no headsculpt.

A lot of lack of perspective for people and easy jumping to conclusions. I see what is popular in China/Japan and it is a lot of Anime, Gundam, etc. Yeah, Iron Strange fits right in.
