Force Friday Hot Toys predictions

[darthkush]

Rose and Page are Asian, so based on Rogue One's lineup that makes the chances of them being made go up considerably. Keeping fingers crossed.

(And I say that not as a bad thing)

Can anybody post a picture of this Paige character? Can't recall hearing about her.

Paige is Rose's sister and a pilot in training under Poe. The Lego version comes with the bomber and has her in the tail gunner position.

Does Sideshow typically have a sale on Force Friday? I'm eyeing a few new Hot Toys, just curious if I should hit the pause button

 

[Mike86]

If they do it's just the usual suspects that they offer discounts on frequently. They wouldn't offer discounts on anything up for pre-order.

 

[darkeyes]

Would be nice for something unexpected like a 1/6 Ahsoka Tano.

 

[Hyphessobrycon]

I don't know what the chances of this are, but I really would like to see a Hot Toys Scout Trooper.

So Disney Store Elite figures have hit the web as previews which might help predict what HT might come out with including official names. I'll put them into a spoiler for those who don't want to know:

Spoiler

Apparently the one that has been predicted a few times is called a "First Order Judicial" notice the two-toned helmet

I had never even heard of Fourth Friday - is there a chance there'd be a major new HT announcement is it more just some SW discounts at retailers?

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Will be getting both of those if HTs make them!!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Pretorian Guard!

Kylo!

Rey!

Something-trooper!

Pretorian Guard!

Kylo!

Rey!

Something-trooper!

That's a very likely line-up I think.

 

[D.R.37]

FO Trash picker-upper Trooper?

Do you mean Force Friday? The last two years with a new Star Wars movie coming out there have been 4 new figures announced for PO on FF. All were from the current movie. This year it's September 1 so a little over 3 weeks right now. Really looking forward to those reveals.

I predict a majority of mediocre entries from HT....

I would like to see a huge improvement on CHEWBACCA!

Luke Skywalker

Kylo

A new alien villain or droid villain.

 

[darthkush]

I hope the Kylo is different enough that he's not just the same figure with an extra unmasked headsculpt. Hopefully, there's SOMETHING different about the costume too.

Oh okay, cool. For variety sakes, she would make a cool figure. I think she's kind of a long shot unless she's a breakout character though. Even Rose is a longshot and she's supposedly a main character here.

Anybody think we could get another new Leia? This is her final big screen appearance. I can see them putting her out late in the line the way they did Force Awakens Luke.

So what about the 1/6 Max Rebo band that Sideshow said they were definitely making.....like 7 years ago. Boy was that not in the cards. So a Wampa (Hot Toys made w/real fur) & Wicket would be at the very top of the list for me. Characters like Amanaman are just a pipe dream. I was born in 1980 and just have zero interest in any merchandise from non-OT Star Wars. Thank god I feel this way, cause I can't even keep up with how many original trilogy Star Wars figures being produced.

I think we might. Between the leaked stuff and trailers, it doesn't seem there will be too many new trooper designs. Troopers made up a large portion of TFA releases so I think HTs may do more resistance figure than TFA had, like Poe and Leia.

His costume is different for sure, don't know about the helmet though. HTs will give him a headsculpt time for sure.
