Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[Sachiel]

I don't need to see Hot Toys make a Yoda (or any of those other figures) to know it would be better than SSC's version. Certainly some people do.

I haven't seen the final product (only proto at SDCC) in person, but none of the photos make me want to buy him. It's not a bad figure, but the sculpt doesn't look so great and the paint isn't helping.

I wonder when they plan to release the Prequel version? The sculpt looked better on that one.

Certainly some people do.

Which people?

Since you say sculpt, I assume you're referring to the original TPM puppet?

 

[YoNoSe]

Didn't SSC show an AOTC/ROTS Yoda head?

[karamazov80]

I think the existing Yoda's head sculpt is pretty dead on for the source material.

 

[Boba Ben]

I really like the Sideshow Yoda. I'll have no problem displaying him with the Hot Toys Star Wars releases.

 

[RIDDICK]

Hope they'll do ROTS Annie and Obi.

Fixd

Not interested in Annie, but an HT Albert Finney Daddy Warbucks would be ____ing awesome. He could have tore ____ up as Lex Luthor in the '70s.

Look no further than Yul Brynner,

 

[Boba Ben]

He was quite the badass in Westworld.

 

[karamazov80]

Only problem with him is that he's got a weird American accent.

 

[Puay]

Any words when will this be out in the market?

 

[Johnny Utah]

They have to put the specs up this week. Colossal failure if they don't with the saga on blu.

Q5. How many (hundreds?) of characters are hot toys planning to do in their star wars line?

A: More than the many types of troopers that other companies release, HT wants to focus on the main cast in the SW universe, starting with roughly 3 or 4 characters a year. Also, we plan to make almost all of them DX.

A dx jabba would be awesome ,with the pers eye system ....cant wait bring it on hot toys.....

 

[Matt S]

I hope a HT Vader and Stormie are included as main cast, though can you imagine their Old Ben?!?!?!?

Bet Anakin Skywalker is next, and I don't mean Sebastian Shaw.

4 DX characters a year, almost $1000 ballpark for SW figures. Wow. That will be a shift in collecting. I have a feeling we'll see a figure from all of the films of a main character. An ANH and ROTJ Luke most likely spread throughout their planned releases.

As much as I love my Sideshow figures, an HT figure of the same character would easily cause me to place the SSC down in a box. Knowing that HT is going in to maybe one a quarter means I'll have to second guess some of my Star Wars collecting in 1:6. At least in the human realm.

You mean that's at least that much?
