Good list.


I think Bespin Lando is more iconic than General Lando though. Maybe include the second costume?

With Sideshow's Lando out there, I don't see a need to pass up on the two most needed characters in the film. Han and Leia are half the movie and we've got nothing.

Yoda, they are gonna do Yoda. With PERS.

as for ROTJ: Luke for sure, Slave Leia would be amazing, who is the third though? Lando? Hmmm not sure.. Emperor?

Yoda would be a good third. Give him an ESB and ROTJ head.

ROTJ Fett seems likely too.

Are these 11 the only OT we'll see? Or are they just the initial block to hit before the sequels become a factor?

So Rory was right - they ARE in the 'stylized' head space when approaching these figures.

That is correct. But Hot Toys is off and running now and will be doing many, many characters.

I revealed (in so many words) that Hot Toys would be getting the SW license many, many months ago. And Mr. Know-It-All on the forums said it would never happen. That I was an ***** (in so many words). He still bashes everything Hot Toys does. I just don't get it. What's the point?

Glad to see the first two figures have been revealed. I've seen better (candid) photos of both. What's throwing off the Han in the photos is the dark hair and dark eyes. Both are lighter/correct in the photos I've seen. The Chewbacca portrait is being fine tuned. It's basically just a simple fur suit he's wearing, just like the real costume. I don't know why SS said it would be so tough to create. They've have the license for like a decade and haven't done it. Yeesh.

From what I've been told by a pal at Disney, there are ELEVEN more OT SW characters in development at HT right now, and the goal is to release the majority of them before the new movie hits. 6 are from ANH, 2 from Empire, 3 from Jedi. I won't spoil who they are. There are no prequel figure in development and there are no plans to do them. It's all OT and Ep VII.

tell you what… you PM me the list and i won’t tell a soul… this way a year from now, when and if you are on point, i will be there to corroborate.

Very happy to hear no PT. I hope that's true.

The last thing I expected to see on my Facebook newsfeed when I woke up yesterday was a Hot Toys Star Wars announcement. Han and Chewie look great, and we know they'll tweak them before they ship, so what're worrying about?

Anyways, I'd really like to see ANH Luke, Leia, Vader and Ben before 2015 is out. And Threepio. And Artoo.

May the Force be with my wallet.

Pretty much. And as i glance back at my empty wallet, i will look back to my glorious figures and say "yes, it was worth it indeed".



(I've been waiting for this for a long time) Hot Toys!!

How cool is it going to be having a EP4 Luke and an EP7 Luke from HT?

I am gonna need a better paying job. Anyone worried that Wives + HT + a huge line = disaster?

Re: Hot Toys - STAR WARS 1/6th & 1/4th Figures from Episode I-VII + New Interviews

I already told my woman that if HT was to ever do SW to be prepared. She can bytch all she wants, life's too short and i wear the pants. Better paying job? Indeed!

Besides i just need certain OT figs, and depending on how cool EP7 is.

So much win in OT figures, I guess a lot of guys are going to be putting these front and center in their Detolfs/display cabinets.

Wait, are you saying that HT is going to make a TIE fighter pilot when Sideshow hasn't even preordered that figure yet?

YES, sir!

Have to take a critical look at all my Sideshow Star Wars figures now. Good time to minimize. Only the best will survive. Besides the oddball ones that I personally like -- like say IG-88 or Greedo, which I doubt HT will do -- I have alot of figures that I can basically just toss... Mace Windu, Bespin Han, Qui-Gon, Tentacle Jedi I can't even remember his name now, on and on and on.

I'll keep plastic statue Jabba.

Taking this statement into account, i have mixed feelings. Good news is HT and SSC will create a complementary mix of 1:6 (and 1:4). bad news is we'll most probably be overwhelmed with Star Wars pre orders sooner than later and be forced to make heartbreaking décisions on what to get and what to leave behind.

Yeah, QS Vader is going to Force Shove HT's and EB's Batmen to the side as the dark, caped centerpiece of one's collection.

That'd be funny if Hot Toys trolled and made a 1/4 quarter scale Anakin Skywalker (Lord Vader)






Good news that they have no interest in Prequels though (even when they had a DX Anakin planned).

Best part of Episode 7 so far: the re-emphasis on OT goodness.

Re: Hot Toys - STAR WARS 1/6th & 1/4th Figures from Episode I-VII + New Interviews

Well, I was planning on picking up a '66 Batman and Robin, an Anne Hathaway Catwoman and a Black Suit Spidey. Those have all been put on hold, indefinitely, for more Star Wars announcements. Sad sigh. Happy sigh. Sad sigh.
