Hot Toys is celebrating The Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary and Star Wars: Dark Side? in 2024

[Smudger9]

If ROTJ is anything to go by, this will be a massive disappointment.
Reissue Maul
Kenobi
Battle droid repaint

The only figure I’d definitely get would be Jar Jar, but I doubt HT has then balls to do him.

 

[Pose Mastery]

Make Jar Jar Hot Toys, he's awesome. I'm making one to put on Kylo, he's going to be Darth Jar Jar

 

[pixletwin]

I would go for Ani, Jar Jar, Obiwan, and Padme. Looks like Obiwan is a sure thing.

 

[chrisstbh]

Watch them make a Revan but limit it to like 1000 pieces.

 

[Dave_W]

Too little, too late HT. I'm getting rid of all my PT figures this year.

 

[AssassinHood]

I'm no sure whether or not to go for a Qui-Gon now before an announcement of Padawan Obi raises his prices or ride it out and see if we get a reissue.

 

[Futurion]

I must laugh at all those "predictions" of what they'll do. Guys, look at ROTJ ... one new figure. Ok, two with ANOTHER Vader. Ale that's it. Waste of licence.

 

[jimbean]

Was about to get TPM Maul maybe I should wait now then

 

[Danny-Boy]

Surely they’ll give us Queen Amidala of the Naboo.

So you can buy the new versions? Smart move!

No chance. I'm making room for more Mondo X-Men. I still have Windu and the SBD to get rid of when they arrive.

 

[Deinonychus]

Padawan Obi, that’s all I’d want. Can’t see them doing reissues of Qui-Gon and Maul.

 

[Felinx]

No HT 25th TPM without a JarJar.

 

[chrisstbh]

No chance. I'm making room for more Mondo X-Men. I still have Windu and the SBD to get rid of when they arrive.

You’d save 2x the space and 90% of your money if you bought Marvel Legends instead

People complain so much about the ROTJ 40th Anniversary. There were plenty of figures released from the movie prior to the anniversary.

Emperor Palpatine and Throne
Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike
Royal Guard
Storm Trooper (ROTJ version)
Leia (Endor) and Wicket
Luke (Jedi) x2
Boba Fett

Those all came out prior to the anniversary and then they added C-3PO and Darth Vader.

Pretty much the only character they didn’t release they realistically should have is Han Solo which who knows what the reasoning behind not doing so is. They weren’t going to release General Lando when the ESB version which is more iconic is sitting around discounted.

Creatures are never really made so most of Jabba’s Palace characters weren’t likely to happen. Same goes with characters like Ackbar.

 

[Ramatuelle]

I would buy the HT version of this:

....but I have zero hope of getting an interesting new Maul. It generally seems to me that HT makes these announcements and then 99% ignores them.

Then they shouldn't have bothered. Would you invite your mates round for a lads night in and when they arrive, you offer them a jacket potato because you had a curry and a pizza last week?

I mean okay. Still doesn’t change my point. What realistically would you have expected them to release they hadn’t already? Han is about the only one I can think of and for some reason Hot Toys isn’t doing more versions of him.

TC is a lock for exclusive…repaint call it a day.
