1/6 Hot Toys - Knights of Ren [SPECULATION]

[matticus]

These guys were always IMO the most interesting part of TFA. JJ better give them a significant part in the movie. But we know by now how Disney Wars rolls.

 

[Futurion]

So. After seeing the movie i guess it's safe to say this will never happen. Not that anybody would want it to, considering their "role" in the final movie ... underwhelming appearance is a weak description.

 

[Wor-Gar]

They played more than I thought they would but still I got no sense of any of them individually. They were just random black-clad thugs, sometimes five, sometimes six... could have been stormtroopers.

Likely the only designs from TROS that I would consider though (maybe Bliss). But never -- ever -- plan to get all 5/6 from HT.

So true.

Would still like to see 2 or 3 of these get made.

 

[momaw]

I'm sure they will. They made lobster guards

who went down as easily as these guys

Yeah, they did enough to be worth of a purchase. I’d also be fine with just Grenade Face being made.

 

[Tee-Kay]

i don't know. i see them as a gang and i could not bring myself to get just one or two. My OCD tells me all 6 or none.

 

[KerotanFrog]

I really liked them, but do wish they were in more scenes. The Rise of Kylo Ren Comic that just came out Wednesday has some REALLY interesting insight into them. I may be tempted for the group lol. I just love the designs.

Unfortunately, compared to TLJ, their final fight against Ben was rushed. At least, Snokes guards got a good share of quality screentime. Here, not even a single close up shot on their mask to tell them apart. Not a single cool move to make them memorable. Does not bode well for a release sadly.

Maybe they are included to show their ends rather than leaving their fate unresolved.

Imagine wanting to pay $250 each on random throwaway “characters”.

Imagine wanting to pay $250 each on random throwaway ?characters?.

You do know this is Star Wars, right? There is ZERO correlation between the quality of character(s) and cost of said characters toys. There?ll be crowds out there that will want it and buy it without saying a word.

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah I know. It is just insane to me. When I buy Star Wars crap, there has to be some kind of sentimental interest to what I am purchasing. Buying 6 nobodies that had no impact though? Crazy.

In the actual movie, you dont even get a good look at them like you do a Cantina Alien or a bounty hunter. They just loom in the distance, stalking the cast doing absolutely nothing. All the work that went into their character outfit designs and the audience barely gets a glimpse of them. No backstory, no dialogue, no presence. As soon as they appear at the end, they are cut down unceremoniously.

 

[Getter Dragon]

As cool as these characters looked, they did nothing in the movie so I doubt they will get made.

I was intrigued by the Knights when I first saw them in the TFA trailer. I was disappointed when that's all the screen time they got in that movie and we learned nothing about them. KoR should have played a larger role in the trilogy. Apparently there wasn't much thought put into their inclusion. It's unsurprising they turned out to just be fodder.

They’re gonna be heavily featured in the Kylo Ren comic series. There’ll be plenty of time to build their characters and get people excited for them.

Unfortunately true.

I don't care about comics.

True....if they did it?d be a hard sale 6 x $250+ for nobodies.....
