Despite the horror of the show I would find it hard to pass on the stranger. Definitely needs to be unmasked sculpt
Him aside the rest are pretty easy passes

I get it, but at the same time the helmet of the costume reminds me of Pumpkinhead/horror movies and throws me right out of SW world. Seems like costume designers keep trying to top Vader's helmet but IMO neither Kylo or the Stranger's helmet are as threatening. Especially Kylo and the whole duck thing.

Those Skylu 3d files used or another? Looks like nicely printed and painted
Was the Stranger's helmet orange?
It’s copper in person
I can’t take credit, all goes to Zach from Collecting Weekly

Part of me really wishes we got a figure announcement or two only for it to also get cancelled.
It would been too freakin' funny.

I would love it if the only character from the show to get a HT figure is the blink and you'll miss it Darth Plaguis...
Next on my list if I can find one. But yes, after him I would be done with the show.

I assume this won't see any Hot Toys figures? I really dig the Mae costume design and look, it would be neat to see in great detail with a HT figure. But given everything with the reception and the cancellation, I strongly doubt there'll be anything, right?
Sol being repurposed into a Squid Game figure is probably the closest we’ll get to anything from this show.
I’d buy a Darth Plagueis figure in a heart beat. Say what you will about this show, but at least they were faithful to the the EU appearance of the character and didn’t opt to make him a neimoidian
I'd get Sol and Qimir. That forest slaughter was pretty great.

It’s unfortunate this show was cancelled
I think given time to grow it would have found itself and a audience
As for figures, I def would have wanted a Sol and the Sith Lords, and certainly a younger Palpatine

As far as I gathered, the last two episodes of the season had picked up audience numbers and more people had latched on to it without previously knowing what it was about, but unfortunately the fix was in due to:
1. Disney / Iger cutting down costs and spending especially after the whole Bob Chipak tenure
2. Pivot away from streaming with Disney+ and back to films
3. Acolyte cost around 230 million dollars with an original 180 million planned (meaning it was over budget)
4. Iger / Disney want to avoid political controversies and Acolyte was a lightning rod for grifters who don't like diversity
So just a terrible confluence of events and conditions that meant its cancellation. And yeah, I'm sad, a second season even with a lower budget would've been cool. I found the show refreshing. Definitely much better than Book of Boba Fett and Obi Wan, imo.
I'd easily get Sol and Qimir. It's funny they never even shared a trailer before the show premiered, while other companies released stuff, HT kept quiet and watched the show burn.
Since they took a bath on the ST, it's like they're waiting to see what a show is like before announcing plans.
I think Disney denied requests from HT for Andor, saying they have to wait for season 2 altogether, one big push from all licencees.
The last show that got figures was still Ahsoka right? Nothing announced for Skeleton Crew either, and that's gotten a far more positive reception from fans.
