Anything's possible but my money's on Tarkin and a Stormtrooper (in addition to Luke, Leia, Vader and Ben)! Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
This is my hope, too.From Empire I hope it's Boba and Bespin Han with carbonite block. It's begging for the HT treatment.
Episode VII will sell on its own I'm fairly certain. It'll get the big marketing push but Disney knows Star Wars as a brand sells and will release products from the prequel, original, and sequel trilogies. As long as the mouse gets to rake in money I doubt they care what film its coming from.
I think HT has too much on their plate for alot of these hopeful second-tier characters. It's not really their MO. Besides SS has a pretty good track record with older dudes. Not sure I'd have a problem with Sideshow doing a Tarkin. Lando? He might get stuck looking like the dated one in any ESB lineup.
Lando is a pretty major character to skip over in my opinion. I'm not sure about Tarkin either but if they're doing six more figures from A New Hope I can't think of who else they'd do. Han and Chewie are taken care of so that leaves Luke, Obi-Wan, and Leia as obvious choices. A Storm Trooper seems logical as does a Vader. I can't think of a sixth character to make though other than Tarkin.I'd like to see HT take a crack at Tarkin - but honestly?
I really don't see them making him - at all.
They'll be doing Luke Han / Leias up the wazoo, Vader at some point, Ben, selected OT Imperial troops, Boba - & possibly the droids.
I don't reckon they'll bother with Lando either.
Yeah I agree. Eleven figures seems like a number that could be released over two or even three years. All before 2015 though with other licenses they're doing figures from doesn't seem realistic. Plus like I mentioned budgeting all those figures for the average collector in one year doesn't seem realistic either.
