Sideshow Alex was quoted from another board saying that Sideshow still had their license.

I do not see the Hot Toys thing as a takeover either. I think Hot Toys will revisit some past Sideshow releases such as Han Solo, Luke Tatooine, Lando, Emperor, etc, etc. It is time for those to be revisited and Sideshow may not want to do that. This is going to be a massive year for Star Wars collecting. I am excited!

I hung up the Star Wars hat long ago with it, it is nice to return. The only releases in the last few years I purchased were Boba Fett and Vader 2.0. This year I already have R2 and Jango on preorder, and I most definitely will order Xwing Luke and Biker Scout.

That's actually the gateway to the abyss.

Once you go in, there's no return.

Too mind blowing for words.

No matter which company makes Chewbacca first there is going to be a TON of criticism!
99.9% will come from this forum alone.
I'm sure SSC and HT are both trying to figure out a way to produce him.
Neither way will make the fans 100% happy.
I'd hate to be the first to roll him out.

That is why I might possibly seek a commissioned / haired version, I really do not think a mass produced version would be satisfactory.... I could be wrong.

Trafford; who was that in response to?

Anyway, as long as they use reference pics from the OT - & SCULPT the damn thing, no worries.

Any referencing of Sasquatch ROTS Harrybacca & aspirations of an impeccably executed mass produced plush toy, are destined for ridicule.

I think Disney is just opening the gates. Look at all the 1/12 homies coming out, Hasbro, Medicom, Bandai is even Figma? Everyone has been releasing their properties for others to capitalise on or are trying to find ownership to do so. They know how much we are willing to pay for it. We are suckers, well I am...

What Hot Toys releases revealed before the movie? Has GotG been the earliest? These guys came out of nowhere, so I gotta think they've been developing their movie relations, and the next SW Hot Toy could be based around the new movies. Imagine if they could release it with the movie.

If they do a sculpted Chewbacca I'd probably get one and send it to Rory so he can cut it up and stick lambs hair all over it. I bet he'd be well up for that, after doing all those Joker heads.

Question: What Hot Toys releases have been revealed before the movie? Has GotG been the earliest showing of toys before a movie (especially this complete)? These guys came out of nowhere, so I gotta think they've been developing their movie relations, and the new SW Hot Toys could be focused around the new movies. Imagine if they could release it with the movie.

Those are ticket takers. They're charging just to enter, the HT way.

I am excited about new movies as anyone but honestly I want Smuggler Han and Jedi Luke versus Grandpa Han and Grandpa Luke
