Confirmed Upcoming 1/6 Star Wars Releases: Hot Toys & Sideshow

[gdb]

Definitely before Disney... it was quite a long time ago. Most likely it's no longer going to happen, or if it does it won't be for a long while.

Gotta say I have mixed feelings about that. I have a half-painted Maul body on my work desk. I was working full steam on it when I realized that if I was Abrams I would put a shirtless Maul in a flashback in the new movie and then Hot Toys would make a shirtless Maul figure. Now that Sideshow is doing this figure I'm not sure if I have any more excuses not to finish it. But if Sideshow was working on one, maybe I would wait. Bah, guess I'll go ahead an finish it.

Thanks for the info.

New Bounty Hunters!! From Rebelscum talking to SS:
- Sixth scale Zuckuss and 4-LOM! Previewed (and pre-oderable) before the end of the year.

They will be scratch and sniff versions?

 

[TonTon]

Yikes! Can't even blame autocorrect for that one.

Blame Rebelscum, it was on their site but darn funny!

 

[TonTon]

Phew!

 

[nexus]

I'm hoping more SW characters are revealed at AC. Maybe tomorrow since yesterday was Marvel.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Still hoping they reveal Han in stormie disguise.

 

[Pixelpiper]

The word on the interwebs is that they'll be revealing a Stormtrooper in Drax disguise.

 

[Tee-Kay]

So, now Ani-con Hong Kong is on, any sign of the rumored 1/6 Kylo Ren or First Order Stormtrooper? Are there any panel or official presentation planned from HT later this week-end?

 

[galactiboy]

Does not appear that any new SW figures were revealed.

 

[Tee-Kay]

Nope. I suppose we'll get TFA range full reveal in a little more than a month now. Just enough time to preview and put ROTJ Fett on PO.

 

[galactiboy]

At least with Marvel they don't show figures too far in front of the movies... I'd guess we won't see anything for awhile from TFA. I'd kind of prefer that as I don't want to have to make decisions on whether or not to PO an exclusive before it sells out if I haven't seen the movie first.

 

[WWEJedi]

Probably not gonna happen but I would really like a Magnaguard Droid, Destroyer Droid, and Super Battle Droid.

 

[galactiboy]

Sideshow had discussed the Battle Droid... and I think maybe a WIP image was shown? I might be making that part up though.

In the meantime, I think the Hasbro one is serviceable with a repaint.

 

[Pixelpiper]

I've already started planting the seeds for the most important Sideshow SW product mentioned in this thread and I'm really hopefully a few more people will help fertilize - Facebook, Twitter, 4chan, wherever.

Hey Sideshow, it would be really cool if you previewed Luke's Landspeeder... Nudge nudge.

 

[IarnaOrgana]

I hope Hot Toys is planning to do a series of ROTJ figures. I'd love an Endor Leia to ride on the Sideshow Speeder Bike!

That would be pretty cool.

I would like some Ewoks to.

Any chance hot toys will release r2d2 and cp3o next year? They seem like they'd be good sellers

SSC has done a great job with them. Why not just buy those?

 

[SwitchStance]

I have been looking at the reviews of r2d2 and a lot of them are saying he feels cheap and flimsy
