1/6 Hot Toys ESB Chewbacca speculation thread

[Hoody999]

Yep, they need a backpack 3PO to sell this. RotJ Chewie at least has the parted hair style but for a real Empire Chewie to stand out, he needs to be lugging around Goldenrod. I have to admit, HT has really gotten their money’s worth on the Chewie R&D.

Well they haven't got my Chewy money, every iteration after the first was s**t imo.

But they do have the tooling for C3PO. They had the TFA version (not sure if that even got released ??) right. So it would be possible.

J. C. Hong recently liked a photo of mine on Instagram... with a humble attempt of a C-3PO backpack Chewie.

ROTJ Chewie could also feature the "Boussh prisoner" chain.

But then we'd all want an updated Boussh to go with it. And yes indeed, HT is working the Chewie R&D. Funny thing is, thus far, each release has gotten worse looking.

They do have the "furry body" thing down - how about some ewoks now?

Yep, Wickett and Endor Leia would be a nice 1.5 pack!

God, I'd kill for some furry Ewoks! Logray, Chief Chirpa, Teebo & Wicket would be awesome in two 2-packs.

Haha yeah ! But price would be still full price of course .

They could probably have some pretty cool accessories though. Maybe a second headsculpt like Yoda.

I struggle to think about how I'll react if ewoks are announced lol. When I started HT collecting, I said, ANH only, then that went away to OT only, now PT/OT. If Ewoks and other random guys show up I don't know what I'll do.

They (meaning Hot Toys) has to know that this specifically is the one figure that they, frankly, screwed up on.

A proper ESB Chewie and all will be right in the Galaxy ...

Random question.

Has anyone ever removed the fur suit from a Hot Toys Chewbacca ? I'm after pattern to make another fur suit myself. Or to remove my own and make a pattern from that.Just removal seems not so easy. Thought there would be a zip at the back.

Damn you Hoody!!

I too was thinking something new about this figure. Dammit . Want Chewie with broken 3PO. Still weird that Hot Toys hasn’t made 3PO at all yet.

4 years and 100 figures into the line with no 3PO is craziness.

It is really weird. Is there an actual tally of how many Hot Toys Star Wars releases there are? Should count them up, gotta be close to a hundred if not more.

He is an annoying character though imo, maybe Howard thinks the same....


....that said, I did get the Sideshow version cheap at some stage. That's enough for me.

According to this post: https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=187575&p=10196639&viewfull=1#post10196639

The Mandalorian and IG-11 were 100 and 101.
