Sideshow wise, following the lates PO announcement focusing on re-releases of older items, i'm not confident we'll see much of the listed stuff in the original post. Some of it might still be fair game but i fear a lot will never be previewed assuming prototypes exist.

Just looked at the first page (been a while). I don't think we will see most of that stuff. Would love a Max Rebo Band.

Not from Hot Toys. I believe there was a SS release years ago but don't quote me on that.

From the list in the original post I most wish that Sideshow or Hot Toys would do Admiral Ackbar. I'd also like to see more of the cantina aliens done by Sideshow.

That would be a good move if they still had the moulds.
But they'd probably be three times the original price and be missing an arm or a leg.

Wouldn't Sideshow still have their moulds more than likely or did they destroy them when the figures were more limited? Honestly if they're starting to re-release figures anyways it seems like it'd be a smart move to redo some of characters that are more popular.

I've got both SSC Greedo & HH (only two SSC figures I own actually..) & they are indeed great.
The only improvement I'd really suggest for a Greedo 2.0 would be using more accurate fabric for the outfit & a seperate blaster with an open hand to hold it.

So there is no separate blaster for greedo? Why would he have a holster then? I don't own the figure.. but never knew that.

Random question - what Hot Toys troopers DON'T have a rubber undersuit? Is it just the First Order Snowtroopers and TIE Pilot that are rubber free? I might be forgetting something though - I'm operating on about 3 hours of sleep right now, so please forgive me.

I think the way it works, is that the seperate blaster is for display in the holster, & the open hands are for emotive display purposes.
The open hands aren't designed to grip the seperate blaster iirc..

if you could some how get a spare blaster gripping hand, I'm thinking you could probably dremel away the pistol and hollow through the hand in a way that you could use that hand to grip, or mod the existing handto close the thumb mor, but first you would need the miracle of finding a set of spare hands.

Sounds like way too much work.

I wonder if Hot Toys will think about making a Luke Skywalker from TFA. I mean they're making so much already, why not one that will probably sell pretty well.

I hope so. If it weren't for Rey, he'd be the only figure I want.

Yeah, I like Rey too. I've seen the movie twice now, & I really enjoyed her character.
Ditto. (Though I did cave today and used my RP to buy Kylo Ren... I just love that part when he is staring at Finn just after he has taken Poe prisoner on Jakku. Honestly gave me the creeps.. Something about it puts me in mind of old KKK films from the 20's and 30's)

I may need Ren too. I'll wait for a version without the mask though, so I can recreate their duel.
