Hot Toys - General Grievous (teaser)

[choombaz]

Too many teases to trust HT at all... 'member Han Bespin prominently displayed?

...BUT I still hold out hope.

Yeah but with Roj Han now happening it’s only a matter of time before Bespin Han …

surely

 

[Wor-Gar]

Maybe... maybe Bespin Han with a "Hey Goodlookin'" expression.

And they can include the torture device as an accessory

Yes, the SS Coming Soon page is indeed a house of lies and broken promises. Drax (V2/V3) and Yon-Rogg's presence there should add a grain of salt to any speculation.

Incidentally, if either of those figures get released I will change my name to Sir Jaervy Barzenblatz.

Man I still remember Clint Hawkeye from the Hawkeye series

I maintain we were robbed of a comic accurate Clint

With that new comic line it could still happen

 

[AssassinHood]

With that new comic line it could still happen

That would be dope

We need HT to bring us Grievous expeditiously though

 

[Wor-Gar]

Grievous is an easy $479 figure for HT to bilk us for.


Come HT, with Disney utterly destroying Star Wars, I will pay good money to remember a simpler time when I was only disappointed in Star Wars.

I just hope it comes with accessories and details that are worth it. I know it would be better than SS's but it'll need diecast, weapons, maybe a damaged clone helmet, Ect.

 

[choombaz]

Add another $100 for diecast parts

 

[Gipetto0812]

I don’t think so but I think they have used non-figure imagery before.

Yup, even as recent as the insert with OWK DX Vader. Most of the imagery is of the figure(s), but the Obiwan in the image behind Vader is a real image of Ewan instead of the HT figure.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'll just be happy if it stands up on its own and doesn't slowly slump and wither.

 

[Wor-Gar]

waiting for the inevitable: that's what she said...

 

[Buttmunch]

I'll just be happy if it stands up on its own and doesn't slowly slump and wither.

For once I think this may be a figure that could benefit from some diecast parts. Every single GG from Hasbro has been just shy of being a gummy bear. The limbs are too thin to support any kind of weight. Having some diecast legs could at least help him stand. I do worry diecast arms would be too heavy though so maybe just some firm plastic there. The Sideshow isn’t perfect but was the first GG that I felt even came close to being a decent figure. Big enough he wasn’t a gummy mess but small enough he didn’t take up a room of his own like the OG PF. I’m hopeful that HT can do better.

 

[goatchumby]

Word. This guy would have to sport a metal frame and ratcheted joints of some sort to keep from leaning into Yoda over time. At least dubba-G doesn't have any hair that could be Artisianized.

Shhhhs, they’re watching us. Highest they can ever fetch for him is $250, not a penny more.

 

[Chainedstream]

Sadly, the arm connector to body and type of plastic used for the chest looks awfully reminiscent of Sideshow’s Grievous which I have collapsed in my Detolf.

 

[Felinx]

Does seem a little different to the SSC V2 but with it quite out of focus in the HT pic it's hard to really say for sure. Some sculpt elements do seem different (angle of the pictured figs is different though - this is taken from Justin's review.)

 

[Raνen]

No better time to bring him out

 

[Rotfish]

This wouldn't excite me as much as Kit Fisto finally going up.

My inner 10 year-old can't believe I just said that.
