Re: Do you think we will ever get Hot Toys Star Wars 1/6 figures?
I'll disagree with this all day long. HT would do a great job with their SW figures, but a line they would not make, and if they did, it'd be an unprecidented first.
The closest thing to a full line HT's done was ALIENS and that's it and even that is missing some key pieces.
HT's a great figure maker, but they're not a line maker.
The best aspect of Sideshow's line is the variety. If HT ran it, they'd look at Piett, Kit Fisto, Ki-Adi, etc. like they do Comm. Gordon in the TDK line, not worth the extra mile to make it, just never do it.
I now realize, I'll be ok probably if SSC doesn't do all the mains because if Hot Toys started a line, they'd do just that so any Sideshow missed would be covered. Better to ride out the SSC line for the variety while they keep the license.
Seriously though, HT would do a hell of a job with the SW line.
