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

Just an FYI, The Mandalorian season 2 art book is out for delivery today from Amazon so they are now shipping.

I just browsed through mine as it arrived a couple hours ago. It's very cool but there's not as much Boba Fett as I had hoped. I was hoping for a lot of Tython concept art but there's very little. Whole lotta Grogu though!

I just flipped through it rather quickly. Well worth the money I think. At just a glance there were some interesting and funny things that caught my attention. Looks like a one point they intended the krayt dragon acid to melt at least one tusken into a pile of goo. Also pretty funny that Plo Koon made it in there.

Still a couple of hours until mine gets here from Amazon, can’t wait! Receiving this and the new Legends Rise of the Sith omnibus on the same day, you can’t beat it.

I’ve heard there’s a part in the Art of Mando book where it mentions George Lucas chose the Tank Trooper design for Rogue One. That makes that figure even more of a must-have now.

That was revealed way back when RO was still in theaters.

Yeah the Plo Koon appearance didn't surprise me as they talked about it and I think showed some of the concept art in one of the making of episodes. Very cool how it aligned with the real visitor and the blue versus purple astromech...

So is this week a nothing burger for Hot Toys ?

I know they've had their New Year festival, but I was still hoping for something.

Well, maybe tomorrow?

Hong Kong is a disaster area right now, I would’ve be surprised if things will all be on hold. Especially releases, local purchasers need to pick up at the store and a full on lockdown is possible. Dunno if shipping batches overseas could still happen.

Because of COVID or is something else going on?

 

[Deinonychus]

Covid. 2 years of delaying the inevitable/kicking the can down the road, all in the name of 'zero-covid'. The s**t has really hit the fan now as it seems they actually believed they could keep covid out forever.

What you say is contradicting what ManofHotCollectibles says. So, you are wrong.

It's probably about time MOHC just admitted he doesn't have a clue when she's coming, this is just embarrassing now. His Hong Kong source is feeding him bs.

I wonder if this is a situation where they're targeting one of those simultaneous releases with Sideshow and are waiting for her to arrive at Sideshow before releasing? I thought sure she'd be out in HK by now...

There is a trend of HT being slow out of the Chinese New Year gate. Covid shipping was a factor before the CNY, so I can only imagine the break did more to hamper things. Patience is a must needed trait when it comes to Hot Toys.

Hopefully he's replacing any future episodes Rodriguez was set to direct.

 

[user 67922]

They’re getting themselves excited over on Reddit that this is for the High Republic kiddie show. As if Favreau would executive produce, or Watts direct, that s**t! More likely something to do with the rumoured Bo-Katan show or whatever Rangers of the New Republic has become.

 

[matticus]

You cannot count on anything with Kathleen at the helm. Still have yet to see what happens with Feige's SW, Taika's SW and Jenkins' Rogue Squadron. Are they going to continually churn on the OT characters/settings?

With continuity the way it is, I don't see how anyone can be excited for the future. Final nail in the coffin with that Fett mess. I'll see what Mando does, but everything else is regurgitation. Arguably, Mando is too as it really is the Boba adventures with Yoda.

Well Favreau had no problem with BoBF so anything goes.

I think Rodriguez would be a perfect fit for the High Republic show myself.....
