Force Friday Hot Toys predictions

[BagginsOfBagEnd]

I doubt it'll be a FFII announcement but this figure is now at the very top of my most wanted list.

If Hot Toys do a figure of this, then I am most definitely in for it!

my bad i must have missed it when Hot toys r2d2 went up for PO... I need to order this, i dont like my ssc version all that much.. Anyone looking for the SSC exclusive version, mine will be for sale after i buy this one?? If interested PM me

 

[Hoody999]

SSC version is i'm talking about hot toys TFA version

I'm a bit the opposite. I'm fine with my SS R2. But would have probably got TFA version if I had none.

About the guards

Spoiler

Jakk's big figs seems to have 3 versions, I wonder if HTs will make all 3.

 

[Starkilla83]

I really hope we get a peak & a possible chance to PO Jedi Training Rey & Jedi Master Luke!

I'm sure they will do Snoke eventually, HT I mean?

That's the one I'm talking about. It was released a few weeks ago in HK. Might've already started shipping at Sideshow.

About the guards

They'll make two.... and make you sweat out the 3rd over 2 years.

Yea I think they might do that given only 1 out of 3 shore troopers got released.

So is Force Friday only for the numbered sequels and not the spinoffs? I've noticed that it's being marketed as Force Friday II but shouldn't it be III? The push last year wasn't as big but it was still done.

Last year was "Rogue Friday" for Rogue One merch.

FINAL prediction time! I think late tonight is when we'll see something.

My earlier posts had Tarkin and Anakin in them....which have both already been revealed so. My final predictions:

1. Rey(in jedi training gear)
2. Kylo Ren(unmasked/episode 8 outfit)
3. Emperor Palpatine/Royal Guard 2 pack(yep, crazy shot in the dark. Why not?)
4. Stormtrooper variant of some kind.
5. Kylo Ren(quarter scale). I think he'll be fully announced instead of just teased now.

I think they'll stick to Ep8 figure announcements on the Friday itself.

Therefore emperor a bit later when the hype train is in full swing.

My tip is for
1) Poe Dameron in flight gear. My #1 hope !!
2) Red snoke guards
3). Trooper with garbage picker upper. Think that was Wor Gars term.

Leading the release with another Kylo would be a bit meh for me. But for those wanting an AD headsculpt I guess it's possible.

Hot Toys Secret base posted on FB that there are products for the Hong Kong Force Friday midnight launch at Toys R Us HK. This means we may see announcements at 12pm ET today.

Honestly, i'd rather they announce Poe over any trooper right now I just don't think they will. He'd be a welcome surprise. I agree that leading with another Kylo seems extreme BUT he's an easy figure to start with and I'm sure the Driver sculpt is already ready.

I hope so. What time did we start seeing things on Force Friday 2015? Midnight? During the day Thursday? what? What about during the Rogue one launch? I don't remember.

The Kylo Ren thread was started on 9/3/2015 at 12:13pm for what it is worth. That was the Thursday before Force Friday, so start looking shortly after noon perhaps...

 

[xipotec]

1. Unmasked Kylo
2. pretorian Guard

Everything else is already revealed to me...Emporer etc etc.

What I want to see but will not is Poe in flight Suit....

Whatever MMS428 is should be going on sale in less than an hour in Hong Kong.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm sticking to my TLJ predictions:

Kylo
Rey
Praetorian Guard (Lobster Guard)
Trash-trooper

 

[guyver1]

Yeah has to be a Rey, FO troopers and Phasma don't seem that different this film , so that already scratches off 1/3 of the reveals last FF.

Maybe that 1/4 Kylo will finally be solicited, don't think I forgot about that.
