... even though IG-88 needed a new head sculpt as badly as Bossk did. The SSC IG head is pretty off in terms of screen accuracy.
 
A lot of people keep saying wait for HT to do them... are they doing them?

I don't really see how they could improve on this version of Bossk? I think SS did a great job.

I feel pretty safe to say that HT are releasing the 'OT' figures they are because you will find those characters in Rogue One. Some, like the droid, we have already seen in the trailer. It doesn't mean that the 'treaty' with SSC is off - I don't think that HT will release the ESB BHs any time soon. Why would they when there are so many characters to choose from, new movies that they seem to focus on and when people have just spend their hard earned money on the SSC versions? Also most of these are troopers and HT seem to focus on those. They have very few aliens for instance - is Yoda and Chewie the only ones?
This is not bottled water, but a relatively small business and going into super direct completion like that just wouldn't make sense for any of them. Just my two cents.

Also if HT are using the Battlefront franchise to shoe horn OT characters into there collection then we could easily see them make figures of Han Solo Bespin, Han solo Hoth, Princess hoth, Princess Endor, Luke Jedi, Luke Hoth, Dengar, Greedo, Nium Numb and Lando bespin. And that's just the Characters that are in it for now. With new DLC content coming every 3 months, dam we could see a whole load more!

It seems like they crossed out the Battlefront on the Snowtrooper. So I wonder if that one is just supposed to be ESB after all.

The battlefront ones might really just be reserved for ones from the game where someone would go, What the hell is this jump trooper guy? Has Hot Toys lost their mind? (If they hadn't played the game).
 
Adam, you have taken some of the best pics of these guys from SDCC.

Bossk looks great here. As others have mentioned, the joints are distracting.
 
These BH are great but feel bare boned for I guy like me deciding if I should consider the purchase. A diarama base /backdrop would have giving some incentive to bring me over the top. This applies to all the SS BH.
 
I totally get why people would like to have this group of baddies but I personally have cooled on the idea. It would require me to re-purchase Bossk, and buy Dengar, 4-LOM and Zuckuss. My old IG-88 is fine though, so I do have one. :lol

Price-wise for the three I'd definitely need to complete the Bounty Hunters set... I think I might spend that money on the minimum three I need for a Blitzway Ghostbusters set. Likely going to be about the same total cost.
 
I'm thinking about incorporating the characters besides Fett into the background photo on the shelf. Problem solved, no money down. :)

Oh sorry Chakaman, I can't take credit for these pictures. Most of them are from the fwoosh website :)
 
Because for me back in the day there were four "main" BH (Fett, IG, Bossk and Dengar) I don't have a huge need to get Zuckuss and 4-LOM to feel like my BH line-up is "complete." Will definitely grab Dengar if it comes out close to this proto.

Sweating on price though. With Sideshow you just never know what price insanity they have up their sleeve.

Same here. It helps that in the scene on the Executor's bridge 4-LOM and Zuckuss are somewhat off to the side.

Yeah, as I posted a week or two ago, the way we became aware of the BH back in the day (Topps cards, fanzines etc.) made the Fett/IG/Bossk/Deng group "the bounty hunters." You could never quite see the other two as much.

So even though they're visible in the movie (Dengar actually isn't seen in the movie - he was made famous solely by Kenner and Topps) they didn't register. I remember when I was a kid and 4-LOM (Zuckuss) was shown, I didn't fully get who he was. The BH were a foursome to me.
 
When i was a kid, no one cared about any of the bounty hunters at all except Fett. Movie, figures or otherwise. Maybe Canada is just different than the US. :)
