Hot Toys - General Grievous (teaser)

[DarkChocobi]

Hot Toys deliberately and explicitly put that Grievous teaser on that cover page sitting directly on top of the figure. That's their subtle way of saying to collectors "Be prepared suckers". From years of collecting Hot Toys, this is literally the first time I see them using this tactic. Most of the time, the teasers were subtly included with promo pics of main figures on their social media platforms.

It's hilarious to think that crappy SideShow Grievous was used for this purpose.

It's not the Sideshow figure. I guarantee it's a HT prototype. We might even see it at SDCC this year.

From the comparison pics posted it definitely is not the Sideshow one, too many differences. HT Grievous as expected coming soon. So now to wait and see if TROS Palpatine and TCW Savage Opress happen.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news... but I think they literally just photoshopped this picture of the Sideshow premium format Grievous statue into the image.

I mean the pose and angle is the exact same and lines up perfectly:

Funniest part about this is that I googled "general grievous back" since I was curious if it was being modeled of off the ROTS or CW Grievous, randomly came across that picture of the Sideshow statue, then realized that they were the exact same lol

Great catch!!! I knew it was too good to be true.

I guarantee it's a HT prototype.

I have so many questions now.

Great investigative work. So not sideshow grievous figure but sideshow PF Grievous... oh well.

I have no further.


Please close thread.

You may close the thread, but you will never close our optimisism!

Edit: Yes I mis-spelt optimism. No, I ain't gonna correct it, I will instead start using "optimisism" in my daily life going foreward

 

[chrisstbh]

I mean… it could still be a hint right?…right..?

 

[Chainedstream]

We might get a HT grievous. In five - ten years.

 

[Futurion]

Well at least I find funny that they did use a statue and not a figure, probably knowing how bad a figure is, not capable to hold any pose.

It could be a hint that SS are going to re-release their incredible figure

 

[Getter Dragon]

I never said my guarantee was worth anything...

Opti-what now? lol...

Opti-what now? lol...

I was trying to type while my toddler was climbing over me playing "slap the phone out of dad's hand" as usual, so expect more spelling errors in future

Looks like the case has been closed. I'll lock the thread. If Hot Toys actually announces a Grievous, a new thread can be started.
