1/6 Why no love from Hot Toys for Rogue One, Cassian, Baze and Saw Gerrera ?

[Mondragon]

Although when we first meet Andor in R1 he isn't in his regular Rebel Officer Uniform, but in Ring of Kafrene assassin look, "leather: jacket, satchel, actually a pretty slick look.

LOL Even more than I realized...!

Damn, so we'll be literally able to watch Andor, then Rogue One, then ANH for a 10 hours+ OG Star Wars orgy !!

 

[Hoody999]

Absolutely!

Last three episodes. That's plenty of content (almost a movies worth), with Andor set right into R1, maybe even seeing a certain Guardians of the Whills protector(Baze?), and a rebelling Cargo Pilot (Bodhi?), by end, could be we get some R1 specific likenesses after all.

Although when we first meet Andor in R1 he isn't in his regular Rebel Officer Uniform, but in Ring of Kafrene assassin look, "leather: jacket, satchel, actually a pretty slick look.

Yet by then he is fully embedded with the Rebles, so before this he will likely be seen in the regular Rebel Officer Uniform, which could finally garner that figure.

We can only hope with Baze and a Rogue One look for Cassian with the blue parka etc. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Fingers crossed.

I'll definitely be letting them know on FB. Even if they issued Baze on the Rogue One licence. Like they did with that Tank Trooper I think it was. Never too late.

Likely by that point he will already have been embedded with the Rebellion, so I imagine he will have appeared in his Rebel uniform first, and possibly the new excuse for his R1 look figure.

Gilroy - "The last 3 episodes from season 2 happens 5 days before the beginning of Rogue One"

Further indicating Yavin-

Gilroy- "... we're going into Rogue, and we're going to Yavin, and then we're going into places where we eventually need to really weave our way back to the source. ..."

Not saying Hot Toys will make an Andor either way, but for those still hoping for Andor's R1 Yavin look, it might indicate another chance for it.

They've already said Season 2 leads right into Rogue One. 3-4 episodes in small time jumps I believe they said.

So chances are very high imo. One HT figure for this season, then Hot Toys love to re-use a sculpt again, so a S2 version = Rogue One version as a second version is what I think they'll do.

Besides Cassian, Bodhi, and Saw, others I'd consider ....will never happen.
The Tube Bros.

Saw and Two Tubes are really calling out for figures these latest episode.
Starting to feel like even the set up for Bodhi getting and defecting with Erso's message, might play out in S2
If Andor series doesn't become the vehicle to finally expand on and release more of the R1 figures cast, nothing will.

Yep this season and S2 is our only hope !

Luckily there don't seem to be a huge number of obvious options for Hot Toys from this season. So hopefully Two Tubes gets a release !!!

He's been in so many shows too !!

Tubes got a few lines, really hope we see him in more action in the S1 final and S2. Most wanted for sure.

I think I will wait for S2 Saw, if we don't get a RO Saw.

Maybe we will get a Cassian announcement soon?
Hopefully before the 20th anniversary of Rogue One, lol.
