Hot Toys celebrates Star Wars Return of the Jedi 40th anniversary

[MyenShi]

Well I see it’s definitely past time Hot Toys revealed more ROTJ 40th figures so people have something to talk about.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Patience. May 4th is 2 weeks away.

 

[wormlander]

Good lord,... Please make it go away

 

[wormlander]

Looks like they caught on well enough with Carrie there. It must be from that notorious deleted scene with the Ewok cocaine orgy.

What do you mean by "deleted"? Have you even watched ROTJ?...

 

[johnny1976]

I agree and hope with comic con.

However isn't it “funny” how all these influencers predicted all these ROTJ releases. Even the one that didn’t agree with and called out everyone else for being to optimistic failed.

I really hope that there is more releases, or rereleases, but I won’t hold my breath.

Just hoping for more original trilogy releases.

it's still May the 4th somewhere right?
or..do HT wait until May 25th for the REAL Star Wars day to reveal ROTJ figures?
I know..I'm stretching.

 

[Zebedee]

So there goes May the 4th. Honestly, I don't think I've ever felt this level of crushing disappointment since I opened a Kinder Egg.

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Oh, the sweet naïveté of this thread title.
Born of a time when wonder and hope were alive in our eager hearts.
What treasures to be revealed.
Which fond childhood memories from 1983 to be materialised in wondrous, sixth scale forms…..







Nah. F$#* yah. Here’s some clones.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Well they're posting about an event they threw yesterday filled with cosplayers and are getting abuse in the comments. After they hyped their licences up, they walked themselves into a buzzsaw yesterday.

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Yeah, just saw that. Excellent work HT. Reading the room.

 

[Zurdo95D]

So uhh, maybe some other ROTJ figures/reissues still coming?

 

[Johnny Utah]

Collectors are pissed that HT dropped the ball so badly on Star Wars day. At this point, they could drop new stuff randomly, but I would bet the next reveals will be at SDCC.

 

[MyenShi]

So uhh, maybe some other ROTJ figures/reissues still coming?

More than likely, yes. Based on the number of figures and timing of past anniversaries, I’m going to guess at least 4 more spread out over the year.

We got 5 ESB figures last time, 2 new figures, 2 re-issues and a repaint and there aren't a lot of figures that HT would realistically do from those that are left.

[Mondragon]

Might be time to accept...

(also LOL at the all gif convo.)

I’ll be honest here and probably not a popular opinion but really I feel like ROTJ is pretty well covered. Especially after we recently got the Vader and 3PO pre-orders. I’m not sure what people want so desperately.

Aside from a new Han which based on past history doesn’t seem likely, what else is there to make?

I know some are going to answer with stuff that likely won’t happen (Ackbar, Nien Nunb, etc). General Lando isn’t likely due to how poorly the ESB version sold. Maybe a new Leia (Boussh or Endor gown)?

Otherwise there are going to be a lot of re-releases which people complain about constantly.
