1/6 Hot Toys -TMS117 - Ahsoka series: Marrok

[Buttmunch]

He could at least be added to an Inquisitor display. Does make me wonder about 5th Brother and 4th Sister now. Seems like they’re really dragging on them now that the Grand Inquisitor is out.

 

[TheeWanderer]

I'm calling it right now. We're not getting Baylan or Shin lol.

 

[dominishin]

His design cooler than those other 4 kenobi dorks at least. One of the only inquisitors I would ever consider buying along with that Tales of the Jedi inquisitor.

 

[jedibear]

What episode of Xena was this guy in?

 

[Ramatuelle]

Where's the Witches?

 

[Ramatuelle]

....but seriously, the Sanderson sisters would be more interesting than this admittedly nicely-done but very meh Sith or whatever he was.

 

[Futurion]

Will it include a bag of fart too? Like, you know, instead of a sculpt.

 

[Ramatuelle]

Someone on FB:
I love me some cannon fodder sith, that only last several episodes XD

Also, we get this guy but not Captain Enoch or whatever his name was? Lame.

 

[Ramatuelle]

Someone else on FB: Why the heck does he look like a discount Nazgul?

 

[Asta]

BBICN was uncharacteristically erudite with the first response:

Maximilian in armor?

It went downhill fast with the second reply:

Ahsoka, so many Bobafield shows, and none of the Pigman movies.

 

[Tee-Kay]

Underwhelming announcement. Unless Baylan and Shin are coming, Marrok has next to no appeal tome. Just another cool design.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

ROTJ 40th is over soon and so far all we have is that amazing Vader and C3PO.

F U HT!!

 

[Johnny Utah]

I would kill for a great Endor Han.

 

[chrisstbh]

No rolling eyeballs? Pass.

I enjoyed Marrok more than Enoch. Enoch did **** all and everyone lost their **** for him. He was about as dynamic as Rey handing a lightsaber to Luke. At least Marrok was in 2 cool fight scenes. They should've added a battle damaged armor plate and some green smoke effects. ( and I'd really love an Assassin Droid to go with him)

The fact that they're making him tells me they are going all in on this line. I thought if they were going to skip any characters, it would be Hera Syndulla and Marrok. Because she wasn't involved in any combat and he got killed off.

When HT is more conservative, they go straight for the main characters and get out. Moon Knight, done. Wakanda Forever, Shurri, done. Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, done. But when they do these side characters, when they delay showing the main characters and draw it out, they are in.

I think the Night Sisters would make beautiful figures. I could see HT doing them similar to the Praetorian Guards as a 3 in 1. Give us 3 heads and one body. I know they each had slightly different outfits but HT could just add some fabric patterns to put over the body to get each look. And just include the 3 orbs they were holding

They could take this same approach for the zombie Night Troopers. 1 figure with some interchangeable armor parts, an extra helmet and maybe some strips of cloth so we can customize them ourselves.

The only figures Im not sure will get made are Morgan, Ezra and Huyang. Morgan's costume is kind of simple and doesn't really lend itself to a figure but the sword would look cool if it lit up.

Ezra didn't get a lot of screen time and didn't affect the story too much. Plus his costume seems a little more complex with the chainmail, so HT might not bother. I know he's part of the Rebels team, but we're not getting the whole team anyway because of Zeb and Kanan.

Huyang is a figure I really want but he would require a new body from the ground up. And they probably wouldn't be able to reuse the mold for anything else, like K2SO getting a repaint.

Disney and hot toys saving me a fortune.

 

[GhostAsparagus]

Hey, guess I'll be one of the four people saying that I legitimately wanted this more than any of the yet-unannounced figures from the show. Can't get enough of any Inquisitor/armored dark side-themed character design.

 

[DCFett]

Wow I’m really surprised this is getting so many thrown at it! It’s a great design and one of my anticipated. I do agree that the story telling for his character was a bit mid, but he looks awesome! Design is a huge factor for me, a lot of times it even surpasses story.

I actually like the design. The figure looks good in that respect. I like Inquisitors a lot in general. Just a shame he was a disposable mini boss.

It’s unfortunate. The reception probably would’ve been a bit better if there weren’t so many other Star Wars figures that need to get made and the clock wasn’t ticking on the ROTJ anniversary.

Now do I want to spend $250+ on a limited screen time side character or do I spend a few dollars to make my own…

 

[The Buffinator]

HT’s description of him is apparently for those collectors who don’t actually watch the shows:

"Once an Inquisitor hunting Jedi for the Empire, the mysterious Marrok now works as a mercenary hired by Morgan Elsbeth to carry out dark deeds. Fully encased in battered battle armor, the warrior still carries a red double-bladed saber with a circular hilt."

Now if he actually was that former Inquisitor turned mercenary in the show instead of being (we can only assume) the undead version of that guy reanimated by Morgan's Nightsister magic, that could have made for a compelling character - he might have even been given a line or two of dialogue lol. But alas in the end he was just a Dollar Store Snake Eyes whose entire backstory took place in the show notes.

Pass.
