Hot Toys Bespin Han speculation thread

[Jedi_Col]

Yep..C3PO too.
I know once they replied to me and would be passing on the feedback,but it obviously didn't go far and was probably a standard reply.
At best,I am hoping sales for Lando and Snowspeeder Luke go through the roof,and HT may look at Bespin Han and for those that missed him,a reissue of Bespin Luke.

I missed out on Luke and I’ve been after him since. But I’ve since decided to stop. I have a HUGE feeling a re-release of that set is coming.. it’ll be ten years in 2022 and several of Hot Toys re-releases came out ten years after the original release. And obviously Howard has a special place in his heart for it. It’ll make a killing since there’s SOOOO many more collectors now. However, it won’t be anywhere near the original price I’m hoping that is also why they’ve been holding back on Han so they release them together maybe.

Hot toys having a sensible release plan for Star Wars?

God this thread is depressing at times. Lol only because this is my favorite look for Han in the trilogy. Don't get me wrong I like ANH and ROTJ looks also, but something about the blue jacket is just way cooler looking. I really do hope we get him now that Lando is on preorder, and Bespin Luke 2.0 is most likely to be next to go up. Same with Chewy but I would get Han first if anything.

I completely forgot about the Bespin Luke 2.0 tease. You'd think thnat would have been a no-brainer for instant PO. Who knows, maybe they'll end up POing it with the new Mando facesculpt and ESB hair.

Naw I'm sure they will use the sculpt that their new Snowspeeder Luke has. Which is another one on preorder, that is another ESB figure but for me personally Bespin look is more iconic. I do have Mando S2 Luke on preorder but I'll still get ESB Luke when he goes up. I believe that will be another DX series release I wonder what they will give us with him. Maybe another dio base to go with Vader's?

They'll probably go with that crappy photo Dagobah base but a Bespin walkway with the rails being, similar to the Bo-Katan base, would be nice.

All I really want for Star Wars OT is a new Bespin Luke and Han.

And C-3P0 would be nice.

Join the club, we’ve got jackets.

 

[karamazov80]

I think this, and C-3PO will happen after we get the Iron Man Mark 3 version 60.0 in 2053.

 

[user 67922]

I just wish they'd get on with it so we can start moaning about no Hoth Han. Just imagine how empty inside we'll all feel when Bespin Lando releases and this still hasn't seen the light of day. The lack of this and C-3PO for the OT is just so bizarre. Also, the lack of Padme and Mace Windu for the PT. All of these figures should be no-brainers for Hot Toys. Do they really think they'd sell less of these characters than the Artillery Troopers and those hideous Jet Troopers? I know I know easy re-paints and all that.

So this is where all the OT people are. I feel an OT announcement this month. I do wish it would be that Bespin Luke. $700 for the 2 pack is ridiculous. I passed on early Marvel stuff and won on Thor/IM/Hulk. Passed on early SW stuff and imagine that, got burned by the #1 merch maker.

$700 for DX07 is crazy. I remember getting mine a couple years ago for $400ish.

That's a good deal for him.

I got mine last year for $550.

if I recall when it first came out, the exclusive and regular set was around 400/450 shipped from Sideshow.
I've seen some sets sell.for around 1K AUD lately

It was only $300USD when it first came out and shipping was about $20ish (though I guess the conversion does put it around the $400AUD mark, so we're both right ). And this was before SS was charging tax, so it really was an incredible deal of two complete figures, with two display bases plus the light-up weathervane.

 

[fantasticfrog]

And the set still holds up today.

 

[fantasticfrog]

Long ago before the dark times
I hoped hot toys would include the torture table from esb that Vader used on han, when this was released.

now I’m contemplating a custom bespin han because there is no hope for this figure.

Those aren’t tears, I’m just cutting an onion.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I'm regretting passing on Hoth Leia but I know that when/if Hot Toys does release a Bespin Han, I'll be cutting a batch of onions as well because of my missing out on Hoth Leia...
