Hot Toys MMS385 Rogue One Death Trooper Specialist

[Darkseed]

Outside of all the troopers, TFA now has Ren, Chewie, Han, Rey, BB-8, Other Rey, Finn, 3PO, and R2. So 9 figures, but a lot of them have re-use potential (Chewie is a partial rerelease, two Reys), which is a problem for Rogue One since these characters are likely to not appear again in any films.

I fully expect HT to go mental with troopers like they did with TFA the humans only core.....they've made all the core from TFA....Rey, Ren, Finn, Han and Chewie .......Leia, Poe, Snoke, Hux, Maz and Luke secondary characters IMO...

RO Vader will be TFA Luke.....little screen presence but too iconic not to make. I don't know enough about RO to determine main cast vs secondary but I still guess it'll follow suit.

 

[TonTon]

Oh yeah, forgot about Luke too. It's too hard to make comparisons when part of TFA was Han, Luke, Leia, Chewie, R2, and 3PO. Don't even know if the movie will be a success yet either.

 

[TaliBane]

Other than many troopers, I can't see HT going much beyond Jyn, the tall robot and Krennic with RO - maybe Donnie, depending on how big his role is. I was surprised that characters like Poe and Hux weren't made.

 

[Darkseed]

Yea they like robots...I expect him, Jyn, Bodhi to be a start of the main cast...

Yeah, that was my thought as well. It's a one off film, much like Suicide Squad was (I guess). Anyway time will tell. I'm going to get the Deathtrooper even though I haven't seen the film, he looks to be the poster boy of the film going by all the merchandise etc.

And like Suicide Squad, if this movie is a bust you will only see a few characters. If the movie does well, you'll see more. Logical.

Troopers and cross-over characters will always dominate. So... there's still 'hope' for Tarkin.

So I'm trying to work out how many figures Hot Toys will do for Rogue One ? When I look at other franchises like say Suicide Squad (which I would consider comparable size wise) they did 5 figures until now. Perhaps more to come ?

For bigger franchises such as Avengers also all main characters. But it is difficult to compare as Avengers and Star Wars saga movies have more time to spread the character releases. So also considering Rogue One is Star Wars (one of their main franchises), and a one off. My guess is that they must be planning say 5-7 figures.

Currently we have : Deathtrooper, Shoretrooper, Jedha Stormtrooper, Tie Pilot and Vader. Although the last 3 of those borrow pretty heavily from existing moulds. So that means 2 "new" figures.

This leaves the main characters,

4). Jyn
5). Krennic
6). K-2SO
7). Cassian Andor
8). Baze Malbus
9). Chirrut Imwe
10). Saw Gerrera
11). Bodhi Rook
12). Mon Mothma ??

Looking at this I actually doubt they'll do that many. But I'd say the first 4 for sure. Baze and Chirrut I'm not sure about. Bodhi depends how much of a role he plays.

What do you all think ?

They will probably make a Donnie Yen. Hot Toys is a Hong Kong company after all.

 

[ShadowX81]

Yea, personally I think that Chirrut is one of the most likely ones. Probably even above Baze and Krennic. Maybe even Cassian. He seems like the type of character Hot Toys would love to do.

I was just thinking this to myself the other day. He looks like a cool character. If Vader sees any action during the movie it'd be cool to see the two of them have some kind of Force showdown.

This doll sucks. Not a fan of the design at all...LOL

That was.....hilarious

I think Jyn and Cassian seem like the main "good side" characters. K-2S0 is a must as he is cool, a robot (HT favourite) and Cassian is his master. Krennic is also a must as the main villain. Every other figure other than these is a bonus.

 

[Hoody999]

Yeah Ton Ton I also went down that path at looking at Figuarts for this film. The troopers and K2SO look fine, but then I saw Ben Kenobi and a couple of others and I thought nah for a bit more you can have HT quality and size. All depends if you want any of the human characters I guess.

Their Han Solo look excellent and some of the other humans have been really nice (mace Windu, young Kenobi), but I do get the impression they do humans less. I think it's also a matter of space that I'm thinking of. EIther way I'll wait until they're in stock rather than pre-order anything.

I'm in for all the imperial figures. I'm more excited to see this film than I am for episode 8.

Do you guys think that we'll get a regular Deathtrooper that isn't a specialist? I hate the stuff he has on his shoulders.

 

[Waste Time Continuum]

You can count on it.

As WTC said, count on it. I wouldn't be surprised to see 2-3 variants of just the Death Trooper. Then we have 1-2 Shoretroopers, 2-4 Stromtroopers and 1-2 Tank Troopers (driver and gunner?).

 

[Waste Time Continuum]

LoL! And I'll probably get them all. [emoji23]

Speaking of which, I just preordered the Deathtrooper "Specialist"!
