Hot Toys ROTJ Emperor Palpatine

Looks like the only two figure ready for immediate PO are Luke and Leia Endor.

And sadly Leia looks like an incomplete figure (unclear if she can only be displayed with helmet on) and Luke looks like the accessories for an already PO'd figure.

Really hoping to own all the recent OT reveals sometime in 2018. Sadly I have my doubts HT will make it happen but it would.......

 

[Craig Walker]

His eyes look unpainted in those pics.

The Flash proto has unpainted eyes also. These things must be fresh off the presses.

 

[TonTon]

Damn, that's weird

 

[jkno]

Yeah, they look to be totally white.

I think we're getting the idea as to why it was shown like this.

 

[Hoody999]

A bit off topic but has anyone tried headsculpts from ACAC union ?? Price seems ok just interested about quality.

From the first pics this was clearly just a teaser ,
Same goes for Tarkin...

Proto not finished therefore approval still pending.... which could takes months before PO.

Exactly. In the past, figures shown at SDCC could take months or longer before PO was available. With HT's, who knows. Look at how long the DC folks had to wait for Keaton Batman Returns. But this is Star Wars, so it will not be that long.

And folks are still waiting with Yellow Jacket from Ant-Man.

However, like you said, it's SW. Doubtful they'd scrap a SW figure. People may lose interest in a character like Yellow Jacket over time, but they won't lose interest in a SW character.

Which also implies there is no rush on SW characters... so they can make a few more Ironmen.

I do not think they rush anything unless it's in theaters right now, and the trendy film. I cannot blame them. Cash in on the hype because the film may be terrible and the market for the figure will die.

I mean would anyone really want a Letjoker in 10 years?

ROTJ Luke and BTTF Doc have at least another 30 years for fans to want those...

Exactly.

That's why I say Yellow Jacket is kaput at this point. The PO hype train for that figure left the station about two years ago, roughly I'd say two months after Ant-Man was in theaters. Same probably goes for CW Crossbones. Classic SW characters though, interest in those will never wane.

One would have to assume no. What an awful movie!

Who is Yellow Jacket?

[Zenjay]

Will she be avaialable in 1/4 scale?

 

[Tom Day]

If any non-British people are wondering who that is, it's a lady from the British Contraception Board. They hold up those big signs on Friday and Saturday evenings when people are going into town to encourage safe sex.

 

[SilverStar17]

My apologies. I thought it was obvious that I was clearly talking about the 1/6 figure of Curious George's owner:

BAWAHAHAhA
