Hot Toys KX Enforcer Droid (TBOBF)

[Hoody999]

This should release just before Andor S2 when K2SO is re-programmed. So people will have just got this, and HT will release another.

Typical Hot Toys move.

But happy for those who wanted a K2-SO right now. I'll probably pass as I have the OG K2.

On one hand I'm disappointed that they chose this as the BOBF release. On the other hand, I wanted a K2SO droid and this is the cheaper way for me to acquire one.

What the hell?
I missed out on K2 so this isn’t entirely unwelcome. I just find it very funny that HT chose to do this guy, who had about 5 seconds of screen time, in the Mandalorian episode in BoBF, over the obvious figures collectors are asking for.
Oh well. That security droid design is pretty cool.

I already have K2SO...but I like the base on this one.

Oh for crying out loud you lazy *bleeps* Hot Toys! So much for Cobb Vanth, Cad Bane & BK.

 

[Dave_W]

Not quite the droid with light up eyes and authentic looking metallic finish I was looking for. Hopefully that one will be in Kenobi if Bail Organa is in it.

They already have a mold. Easy money. Doing anything else (Gammorreans, Black K, whatever) requires actual work.

I don’t normally post negatives, but this has me completely stumped. Yes I understand that they have the mould and it’s an easy release. However, if you’re gonna reuse the mould then do it for Andor. I need a K2SO! Sad fact is that this won’t sell, reducing the likelihood of a much needed K2SO re-issue.

Nobody asked for or wanted this, and unfortunately this doesn’t bode well for Cob, Cad or Santo

Wtf is HC smoking

July-September 2023 for what is essentially a rerelease?!

So much for Justins claim that HT were going to shorten their production window.

Exactly, and the potential knock on effect is that low sales on this will lead Hot Toys to think no one is interested in BoBF (which isn't a big stretch), and therefore won't release the 3 figures everyone actually wants.

The FB page is littered with comments for Cobb Vanth, Cad Bane and Santo !

Justin is full of crap, just like all the others.

If there was ever a figure they could shorten production window, this would be it. All that weathering painting is all semi-automatic. So it's effectively the same as a trooper re-release.

 

[evenflow]

Sure why not. I had no doubts this was getting made.

 

[MyenShi]

It’d look cool to have a couple on the shelf together. I’m still very impressed by the engineering on K-2SO.

Definitely would like to see more Droids from Hot Toys. I have Sideshow’s R5-D4 but it’d be great to see a set with R5 and Peli’s other Droids like Treadwell and the BD unit.

Battle droids ? Hello Hot Toys ?

New tool = no go......just too difficult and too much effort.

 

[sithocan]

Battle droid is almost certain. A rollable Droideka is needed.

They don't produce BD for tooling, but produce a Venomized Deadpool which is a more niche figure compared to SW.

 

[Dave_W]

Seems like a good time to do an updated one of these...have I missed any?

EDIT: Added a few more that I missed.

Employee: that queens studios joker is the talk of the town, we need something big.

howard: i agree, really big.

employee: bespin han, padme, mace?

howard: no, just reissue that tall droid from rogue one. He appeared in bobf for a second. That’ll shut them up. He’s big.

There is a snowtrooper commander prototype. A second Jawa as well.
