Hot Toys Bespin Han speculation thread

[karamazov80]

Yeah, great figures there, despite the apparently insoluble Hamill likeness issues. I'm also a big fan of Hoth Leia.

If ever there was a time to release a Bespin Escape Leia,it should have been last yr for the 40th..and yes,a travesty that I still display my Hoth Leia with the mask on

 

[Gipetto0812]

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...

Same. I was still getting back on my feet at the time she was available, so I was trying to be a responsible adult and only buy actual necessities

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

I got mine from someone on here a long time ago when I was relatively new to collecting.

Probably like 2012-2013ish. It was before Hot Toys was making Star Wars figures full time. I want to say I paid like $300, maybe slightly less for my DX07. An absolute steal of a deal really.

Real life tends to get in the way, my friend.

I was waiting for a Bespin Escape version... I figured we would have another Chewie figure released by now, along with the disassembled 3PO to display them fighting their way out of Bespin. At least Lando will be available soon.

I have a notebook at work where I pass time in meetings by making collecting diagrams for my display and I keep a list of my current preorders. I found a list of ot figures I hoped would get released from 2 years ago and the only ones to get preorders of were lando, Luke snowspeeder, and the scout. Everything else is not even on the horizon. The list had over 20 figures.

Just out of curiosity, has the mask rubbed any of the paint work off her headsculpt?

How many from now until 2022 though?

Yea, you'd think a Bespin Escape version would've been easy for HT to put together. I can't imagine HT would not make more from ESB considering it's Howards favorite movie in the OT. Hopefully they really are just bogged down by the Disney+ stuff that they haven't gotten a chance to get back to straight OT?

 

[Dave_W]

That's bad though. D+ will be non stop from now on, so if they focus on that, there is no OT.

Will they ever going to make this Bespin Han? my display has a spot reserved for him and been empty for the longest time. My ANH Chewie is lonely...

The million dollar question and the fastest preorder made for many.

Indeed, I don't mind if they will just do a bare minimum Bespin Han figure just so they can do a quick release......and C3PO

Yes 2 glaring omissions for the original trilogy. C-3PO needs to be with his buddy and Empire Han had the best outfit to me.

They had the best banter in the whole trilogy honestly during ESB. And that’s quite impressive after the comedic relationship between R2 and 3PO in ANH.

 

[The Green Goblin]

This should be going up for pre-order tomorrow night.

Completely agree. Loved the banter with the droids. Good comic relief without getting to childish.

 

[Kinja]

Hate to say it, but if HT doesn't announce Bespin Han by the end of next year, I think I'm gonna let my Hoth Leia go. Seems wrong to have kept it boxed up this long, but just seems to odd to display her on her own.

 

[Asta]

I couldn't let her go.

Same I kept my Bespin Leia and ANH Chewie in the box, until recently I displayed Chewie with the HT Han from Solo movie and put Leia next to him...a bit odd but oh well.

I didn't pull the trigger to buy ANH Han cuz I love the ESB look more.
