Re: Speculation : Hot Toys Disney+ Figures "The Mandalorian" + "Cassian" + "Kenobi"
For me at least, The Mandalorian is the big Star Wars event of the year. I can barely even give Episode IX a second thought. That's not said with any malice towards the ST, it's just this feels like the Star Wars I want and need right now, and I find it very hard to have equal excitement for the final Skywalker movie. It should be the other way around, and it probably would've been pre-TLJ, but that movie felt so anti-fan that they need to do something pretty spectacular to drag me back in at this point. All the supposed Episode IX plot leaks I keep reading only make me nervous it's going to be a huge cluster**** of a movie. Hopefully this isn't the case and it manages to redeem the trilogy and deliver one final great Skywalker film. Whereas The Mandalorian feels like the Star Wars comfort blanket many of us need.
As for figures, Funko Pops are going with the Mandalorian, IG-11, Cara Dune and Kuiil, the Ugnaught. Perhaps Hot Toys will go for something similar. We'll probably get the first two, with Cara Dune having an outside chance of being made. Would people be satisfied with only those 3 for the first season, with the possibility of a bigger line-up for season 2 next year? At this stage I'd take that.
