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

[Johnny Utah]

He's just another James Cameron now. Talks complete bollocks to hype up a project and we get let down.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Debra Chow would be wise to not hype up her show that much, lol.

Wow! The BoBF finale

Spoiler

. sucked. I hate to be a hater - but that finale was an underwhelming fail. So flat and hammy. So many missed opportunities (letting Boba be awesome being the main one). So many WTF moments - I kept screaming at the tv “DO SOMETHING!” Such a meaningless outcome. And I can’t believe how I missed that they essentially telegraphed Grogu’s choice by adding the glass dome to Mando’s N-1. How sad.

 

[matticus]

I can see a Vanth this week, Bane next in the SW line then Krrsantan. HT really took it on the chin with the last Chewie though.

Times like these remind me of the George interview where he said Star Wars was made for kids.

No it isn't. It's universal and the films and shows are able to walk the line of appealing to all ages.

But this gutless turd will be remembered along with Last Jedi as a huge misstep in Star Wars history. It's BOBA FETT. Damn you Lucasfilm.

The biggest fault of the show is poor writing, and maybe also poor directing.
The change of Boba was not handled well. We should have shown how much time Boba spent with Tuskens, how much he got into their customs, etc.
Boba behaved not like a clever and seasoned bounty hunter, instead almost all of his decisions were worse than others' so he almost everytime agreed on others' recommendations. He walked around like "what's going on?" all the time.
What was that last episode? Gang war? Perhaps a total of 100 (max) Pykes vs 25 good guys. Considering the scale of the city, that equals a kids fight. Why did those giant droids walk towards the heroes? They are tanks, they have projectile weapons. And why none of the teams turn around Pykes and attack from behind rather than joining the heroes who are already stuck in a position?
The one who never failed a job was Fennec in the entire series.
Not a disaster, but it could be handled much better. A missed opportunity by Favreau.

I have always found that line/excuse to not only be a cop-out but insulting to kids, who have always been more intelligent than what the studios credit them as. When I was a young kid, I could spot nonsense and/or patronizing garbage a mile away.

 

[Hydeous]

It's even the little things.

Boba's shoulder armor being backlit and the light showing it to be translucent plastic, not a solid Beskar. The falling Aqualish from the balcony onto the water barrels with clearly human hands. Black Capistrano barely able to walk - leg DRAGGING behind him, damn near collapsing, NEEDING support to walk, then just A-OK and running around. The shields down on the droids and NOBODY shooting at them despite blowing their loads when the shields were up - just blankly staring at them. Ugh. so much more.....

It just comes off as a bad syndicated TV show with no continuity and a poor script with even poorer direction and acting. 1980's quality Friday night programming (ala A-Team).

Temuras teeth were decidedly the star of this series with the featuring they got.

not a fan of the fact that boba kept taking off his helmet. I know how they want actor to show more face time, but it really kills it for the boba character.

 

[sithocan]

In the early episodes it can be emphasized that Boba talks to Fennec, and Fennec talks to others. It can be accomplished with two scenes. The audience gets the idea. And later when Fennec informs others, she looks at Boba occasionally and he nods. Voila. Boba being the brain would be accomplished.

Highest Priority:

• Cad Bane
• Black Krrsantan
• Cobb Vanth

Lesser Priority (but still probably a buy)

• Tusken Chief
• Tusken female warrior
• New Boba

[CrankbaitJon]

I can see Vanth being soon but I'm not sure about the others. Krrsantan is actually quite different from Chewie and harder to make since he's got the braids going. If they didn't know about Bane, that will take at least a month. The Gamorreans are there since episode 1 so if HT are going to do them, might as well announce them now.

HT seems to be behind in terms of human head sculpts. Goblin sculpt not ready and getting roasted for Doc sculpt.

and that is absolutely it. Six figures (at most) when we got how many from Mando S1, even without Cara Dune and Apollo Creed?

I truly hope that we get a quality "Rebel Mercenary Fighter" from one of the leading third party companies.

They could keep Boba's face a secret and use that last fight between Boba and Cad to reveal his face. That would have been more impactful.

 

[Chakaman]

This whole season was a great opportunity to introduce great characters, what a huge miss by Disney.

What an underwhelming episode.

My wallet is happy though.

 

[mynameschris]

All those rumoured cameos, especially Bossk, turned out to be a fart in the wind. Oh well, my budget was around 6 preorders, I don't think it will reach that.

Weren’t those rumours started by fans though?

 

[sj2106]

Anyone that watched The Mandalorian and skipped this show is gonna be confused when season 3 starts.

I can't help feeling it greatly reduces the impact of the season 2 finale.

 

[user 67922]

Yep, totally amateur really. Rodriguez really let the team down. "All Killer and no Filler" my a$$

Notice how he was the only one saying that sort of thing. I guess he was talking about everyone else’s episodes, not his own. Steph Green, Kevin Tachoreon, Bryce Dallas Howard & Filoni all did a good job on their episodes.

I remember hearing somewhere that all the Mos Espa and crimelord era stuff (aka the filler) was filmed by Rodriguez, regardless of the episode it appeared in. Tbh I can believe that.

IF there’s a second season the guy should be let nowhere near it. He has a remarkable habit of making something big budget look like it was filmed on a very limited budget. He used to be great, I’m afraid these days he’s just a dime a dozen Hollywood hack.

Final BoBF list in order:

1. Rancor
2. Cad Bane
3. Black Krrsantan
4. Hutt Twins

Unfortunately Bane is probably the only one with any chance of getting produced.

Interest in the Tuscans waned after they were killed off. While I like Timothy Olyphant, I can't see paying $250+ for a Cobb Vanth. Maybe he'll show up again in one of the future series. It would be pretty funny to see HT produce a Pyke. After this outing, they're in the running for the lamest villains in Star Wars.
