Hopeful for an HT Emperor!

[Centrocal]

Star Wars fans, please enjoy these great photos taken by bloggers

I'm with cmiller and Centrocal here, some of the other blogger photos have BB-8, 3PO, and R2, but they're using figs from other manufacturers. Only difference here is that it has been strongly hinted that the Emperor is on the way, so the figure coming out in the next month or several months will likely just be a coincidence.

What's weird is that Luke, Ben, and the Emperor together makes no sense--don't know why someone would put that photo together.

Only time will tell.

 

[TonTon]

Yeah, if it turns out he's the next OT fig, then this was a hint. They do choose which "blogger" pics to showcase. Hoping for Yoda myself.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well if Yoda comes with a Luke, then they might not want to cannibalize on the two Luke's they already have coming these next two months.

Then again, an Emperor would pretty much guarantee the inevitable Jedi Luke.

Wow I'm an idiot. Totally didn't know that these were fan shot. I thought Hot Toys released this album in the same fashion a company like NECA does, with in house photography.

The way I understand these is that they're essentially paid (that's conjecture on my part) toy photographers who get the figures a little bit early and the photos are under embargo until the figures are released at secret base. Then when the figure is released Hot Toys shares some of their favorite photos that best represent the figures to their Facebook page.

Darn, I thought they were going somewhere with that pic.

Don't give up all hope. I believe he is a rumored figure. Outside of Han Stormtrooper most of us have no clue what might be next in terms of OT figures--I'm sure/hoping we'll get an ESB and ROTJ figure revealed at some point soon.

Yeah, hopefully Snoke (Han called him Snook?) has a hooded robe in his closet so his transformation into the Emperor will be complete - and we get an Emperor fig!

Yea, but it won't be the Emperor

Ah so there is a thread for him. Glad to see they're making him and Hoth Leia!

Glad I sold off my Sideshow version for a nice price. Looking forward to adding the Emperor and his guards to the shelf. Now bring on Jedi Luke!

Getting way ahead of things here, but if they include force lightning wouldn't you think they'd have to include a gritted-teeth sculpt as well?

i know additional heads sculpts are becoming rarer and rarer with Hot Toys but if any figure deserves one, it's Grandpa Palpatine.

All so exciting and expensive!

I need to dump all my non-OT stuff. Such awesome looking stuff on the way.
