Hot Toys leaks and rumours thread

[K1LLJOY]

Don't know how real this is... but another HT To-Do LIST just dropped:

John McClane

Spoiler

Jabba and ANH 3PO really would be the last of the Star Wars figures I would buy from HT

My HT Star Wars collection would be done (enough)


Only Nute Gunray could bring my wallet out one last time. But, like Jabba, that will never happen.

Didn't Nute Gunray get cancelled due to racism? Even worse (given hwere HT is located), anti-Asian racism?

I don’t know, I could see a Hot Toys Jabba happening. Surely they wouldn’t let Sideshow out do them. They just did that Dewback, which I wouldn’t have expected. Jabba is actually smaller. And the throne would just be a big slab of plastic (thankfully not Sideshow’s desire to make everything unnecessarily heavy and brittle with polystone) with a little railing and bowl on top. Throw in a couple of pillows and a crumb reuse from 3 PO and you got a nice deluxe set. Jabba solo for non-deluxe.

Now a Rancor on the other hand is more in the Alien Queen realm of possibility.

Dewback is different - it was clearly created as a Mando Dewback in the show's heyday then they did a bit of an ANH tweak to some aspects to release it as an OT Dewback (even if all the Mando aspects are still clearly visible) when the Blurrg became a pegwarmer.

This wasn't HT saying "hey, let's do a ANH Dewback from scratch."

The only way we'd see something as massive as a 1/6 Jabba from HT would be if Jabba was featured on a D+ show, but even then, as a long line of HT figs have proven, it'll be a hybrid D+ show/OT look like the ugly HT Tusken and Biker Scout.

The other issue is that SSC has done two Jabbas, and the newer one is still available, and not many people can display something as massive as a 1/6 Jabba with many of them already owning one that's maybe 85% as good as a HT one would be.

Ah, so...

 

[greymask]

HT make Alien Queen?? Not even in my fever dream, but if it happens.. maybe it's time to offload Hulkbuster to help fund the purchase

 

[JustinMP]

Ah, so...

Yikes yeah hard to defend any of that, in fact I wouldn’t. But didn’t they change the accents in the Clone Wars? Maybe that would fly?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I liked the accents.

If I was going to give this list some credence I think the ones most likely are:

• T-800 Endoskeleton [given the recent Terminator license love] - diecast or not is up to debate
• Dutch 2.0 [probably making use of the assets they've used for their new T-800 face sculpt]
• Catwoman and Penguin from Returns [Howard does hate competition and the new Returns Keaton suggest interest in the line]

Much less likely:

• Ripley in Powerloader making use of the old [newer] Ripley head sculpt with an updated hair sculpt or rooted. Doable simply because they can reuse old assets.

Not a chance:

• John Connor - not sure this is a must-have for many when compared to the T-800 or T-1000 or Endoskeleton and has HT ever done a child character and likeness? genuinely curious.
• Alien Queen - would be an entirely new piece from them at larger scale, lots of R&D needed.

If they did a new Hulkbuster, why wouldn't they do a Powerloader? The MCU is dead, why not, Star Wars is a struggling brand so HT needs to go back to the well?

I expect some premium price on 2.0s as HT seeing what InArt and now Kaustic doing. I an see a Sarah Connor 2.0 also as well as an eventual Kyle Reese....

I think the Alien Queen is likely. If they can do a 24 inch Venom, a 16 inch Original Powerloader...I have no idea the size to be honest, a 20 inch tall 20 inches long Alien Queen is reasonable. I mean there were 18 inch Godzillas out there.

Onlly thing I wonder about is John connor, but eventually why not? Child characters are not some new thing. Threezero does them with stranger things. HECK NECA DID JOHN CONNOR!

John Connor will get done...I find these rumors all will happen. Nothing seems outlandish.

[EVILFACE]

I could handle a new die cast T2 Endo

 

[MGS_OldBoy57]

Diecast Endo would make my year

 

[Wor-Gar]

HT will still do the piping wrong.

They didn't even chrome the T-1000 jelly parts.

 

[HyperDrive]

Internal diecast Endo with the dual plasma rifles from the T2 future war scene. Don’t give me a 2.0 of the crappy Genisys version

 

[HyperDrive]

Fake news lol. But I’d love most of these. In addition to the Loader, make Newt as well please, need to recreate the iconic poster.

 

[greymask]

Diecast T-800 featuring backhand slap spring action. I always wanted to recreate that action in toys form

 

[IronPatriotFTW]

1/6 scale Alien Queen? I think not..

A boy can dream

 

[dondiegomasked]

FWIW, the NECA 1/18 Alien Queen is 30” long by 15” high.

My degree in mathemagic tells me that a 1/6 scale Queen would be _90”_ long by _45”_ high!

Seven and a half feet long by almost four feet high.

Yeah, we’re definitely getting this. Right after the full 1/6 scale Millennium Falcon.

Z

Now to see what it says on Stan Winston’s site.

 

[dondiegomasked]

The official height of the Queen puppet was 14-15’. That’d make her 28-30’ long.

Using those numbers I get a 1/6 scale Queen as 30” high and 60” long.

Either way, working up from NECA’s dimensions or down from the Stan Winston “official” size, this would be a gigantic figure.

I don’t see HT doing this. Of course if they did…

I think one of the members here posted this over on Reddit. Haven't seen anything anywhere else yet.

I know these are coming along with Catwoman and Penguin. I believe it. Not sure

Neca is 1/10th scale though..

The legs are always bent, not sure about tail length but tails didn't take much space bc curly and bendy wires.

I just think it's very possibly.

No. The NECA figures are “7 inch” which scales to 1/12. From Google:

“A 7 inch figure is likely a 1:12 scale figure. In a 1:12 scale, an adult doll is usually around 5-6 inches tall.”

We don’t know how accurate NECA was, though. We should just use the actual puppet’s dimensions.
