Hot Toys Disney+ Figures "The Mando" + "Cassian" + "Kenobi" + "The Book of Boba Fett"

[Asta]

Cool pic. But now it's only 1 sleep !!

Anyone know what time it goes live in Europe ? I think Mando used to be available in the morning.

I looked it up and found a reference in today's The Express that thinks it may be the same time everywhere:

Disney Plus doesn't seem to have a consistent release window, though most new content drops at 3am EST.

This means that fans in the UK should expect to see the debut at 8am, though it could be later than this.

Cool thanks. That more or less matches to The Mandalorian if memory serves.

One more sleep, then Boba in pyjamas with a coffee !! Life doesn't get much better than that !

If they don't show how he escaped the Sarlacc I will be unhappy.

I wonder if they're about to retcon this, in fact.

"I am Boba Fett. Left for dead on the sands of Tatooine."

As if someone thought they killed him, and just left him where he fell. Interesting.

Well, we shall see.

Sure I suppose a Krayt could have eaten the Sarlaac Boba was in. I'd prefer it if he escaped himself. A much more impressive feat than getting lucky when a passing Krayt attacks the Sarlaac he's trapped in.
Boba's daring escape from the Sarlaac has been excitedly theorised by fans for years. There are books and comics that hace him killing the Sarlaac and escaping. I'd be disappointed if his escape isn't down to his own actions.
Though depending on how the Krayt attack leads to his escape is done, it still could be good.

Well either way, we do know we are getting flashbacks of his post Sarlaac survival. Trailer paired with the line "Left for dead on the Sands of Tatooine"
Is when they revisit him still in nomad and gaffi stick gear, (before he got his armor back) and still freshly scared (well before he set up the Bacta tank)
Rescuing the ersatz Camie and Fixer scene -

If you're asking who?People need to play closer attention, after all these are fanboys FavrOni and R.Rodriguez we are dealing with ....

Wait till people realize certain deleted Tosche Station locals just became canon again...

Probably unnamed, throwaway easteregg, yet looks like an older Camie and Fixer are who Fett saves from the current Tatooine gangs.
With diehard OT fans FavrOni & R.Rodriguez involved that's no accident.

The new line - "I am Boba Fett. Left for dead on the sands of Tatooine."
May just indicate him after crawling out of the Sarlacc, hence his nomad new life.
Likley a whole story on how a he joined the Tusken, learned their ways to survive, etc.

Further, the act of having even survived a Sarlacc, may have given him status among the Tusken who took him in, and who may be allies

According to Reddit this is allegedly the main theme song for the show. Don’t shoot the messenger!

I’m getting big Lord of the Rings vibes from that.

I'm afraid to open that... just in case...

And also a bit of Ennio Morricone with the vocals and trumpets.

 

[Johnny Utah]

I buy it. Nice Kiwi influence, sounds like something Ludwig Goransson would come up with.

Hours away. This beautiful art seen on FB and most of the comments are complaints about Devo....? SW has a real fanbase, not sure "fans" are what i'd call them. Lol what

Yeah that happens a lot on FB. If the first few people decide they don't like something, the crowd typically follows. And if someone makes a joke about something, others have nothing better to add, and just continue with that joke.

Social media is so fickle.

So I've seen Episode 1. What did people think ?

I'd say the following

Spoiler

I have a feeling fans are not going to like the Sarlac Pit escape. Somewhat anti-climactic. However after thinking about it, what are they really going to do ? I think I would have gone for the fixed jetpack option myself though.

Interesting to see a different tribe of black robed Tuskens. Nice that they did something different there.

Not sure we'll get any HT figures from that episode though. Nothing really worthy.

Run time also the typical 30 minutes. I wish they would go to 45 minutes. I think that is the sweet spot as far as episode length.imo

agreed with the Sarlacc Pit escape scene, it seems rushing to me, and still not quite sure if I want those Gamorrean body guards or not if Hot Toys ever make them.

 

[Ramatuelle]

Have not seen the episode, but have seen the post-credits art.

OMFG THIS LOOKS AMAZING please tell me it is

Will be watching later today when i get home from work.

Yeah, HT Gamorrean Guards probably have a decent chance. But I agree they need to be interchangeable for ROTJ guards. Sure I get it that with Jabba, times were good, and pigs will eat. But I guess we'll cross that bridge when / if Hot Toys makes a Gamorrean Guard.

They would be a nice figure to have around the throne. And some people would buy two.

I won't say anything until you've seen it, but I would say it's "solid". But I expect them to step it up for E2.
