Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[Darkseed]

Chewie will rock being the next HT figure. Beyond slightly taller than expected, SS did a great job with their Vader.

i dont know how much that matters...i mean SS already made a Bespin Luke which didn't seem to deter HT...

 

[JacktheRipper]

Don't think HT has much of a say in what they can produce without going through SS. With Vader SS doesn't have to share the profits.

How many years apart are the two figures? Not to mention that Sideshow is subletting their 1:6 license to Hot Toys and they won't allow HT to make a Vader anywhere near the time frame they make theirs.. besides SSC has already stated that armored figures will be for SSC while HT will focus more on revisiting characters (non armored) that Sideshow has already done.

Check out the big brain on Jack!

this figure is amazing!

but i'll wait for the ROTJ luke, my favorite luke from the OT

 

[Darkseed]

This license is one which I probably will be a completist. A line heavy in PT could change that statement but I'd even give PT figures strong consideration.

 

[kajobaldisimo]

Yeah. I love the clones. and i need a Hot Toys Dart Maul badly.

 

[Terminator_Fan_Game]

i am warming to this figure now. I've never been a fan of the original 3 star wars movies all though love episodes 1-2-3. But i can stomach the originals i dont hate them. So depending on how i feel when this is released i might get it.

i watched episodes 1-2-3-4-5-6 over the course of 2 days about 2 weeks ago and i got proper bored during 4-5-6.

LOL!!!

 

[RIDDICK]

LOL!!!

Nah, just a kids. They love Transformers and stuff... oh wait >_<

 

[Terminator_Fan_Game]

Im not even much of a starwars fan but I just found it funny that Bakurenoh was brave enough to say that!

hot toys darth vader would be nice , if only

 

[devilof76]

Sideshow Darth Vader would be nice, if only they were Hot Toys and could say they made a Hot Toys Darth Vader.

Then we would have peace on Earth.

It's interesting that you guys bring up Vader again, because I was actually looking at some YouTube reviews on the ROTS & ROTJ Medi Vaders, plus the SSC one.

The Medicoms have some great things about them, but ultimately I wouldn't get either of their versions. The SSC one on the hand, just frustrates me. Some major things wrong with it IMO.

Come on HT..

 

[devilof76]

Ain't happenin'.

 

[The Mike]

If HT comes out with a Vader it'll be from ANH. SSC has already said to expect an ESB/ROTJ "Ultimate" Vader and I doubt that HT would directly compete with them.

 

[Yodacappy]

Back then it was more about the story than the action where today if there is no action people get bored too quickly.

I blame porn and Cinemax after Dark for that...

Y'know, I think HT makes some wonderful figures. I really do. But I find this blind faith in the infallibility of HT coupled with the lack of confidence in SSC to produce a kick-ass Vader to be a little unsettling. Yep, the SSC ANH Vader had some issues, namely the tallness of the helmet, the height of the figure, and the cape. I'm sure SSC has received the message from collectors and will produce a Vader nothing less than perfect the next time round. The have upped their game in 2011. And HT stumbles sometimes. The Indy likeness was...let's not go there. Thor and Cap were "meh". Batman Begins exclusive was a disappointment in execution (mainly due to QC problems, but the cape sucks hard, also). And QC had been an issue with HT of late: wonky PERS, snagging fabric, crooked emblems, broken ankles/hips, paint rubs on portraits, wrists that fall out - all right out of the box. I know these things happen, but in the last half of 2011, they happened a LOT. There's even been debate in this thread about the likeness of HT's Luke. Yet the fans of Hot Toys clamor for a HT Vader - let's give SSC a shot, shall we? (Like we have a choice, anyway...) When HT gets things right, we get a DX Jack Sparrow, and when SSC gets things right, we get a Commander Cody. For their price points, each was top notch. I think we're in for good times ahead!
