Hot Toys - Star Wars: The Clone Wars - 1/6th scale Captain Rex Collectible Figure

[RandomHero]

they're are a business, not a puppet. Marvel has always a huge buzz in Asia region, and Star Wars is not.

Correct. Howard is incredibly passionate about Star Wars. That’s probably why Hot Toys does Star Wars at all, it’s just not a popular production in Asia, with Japan being a notable exception.

A lot of things popular in North America, Europe and Australia don’t resonate in Asia. Marvel, and to a lesser extent James Bond and DC, are franchises that have done well. But Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc just haven’t taken off outside of Japan and likely never will. Although I think the last Pirates did better in Asia even though it sucked, but the first three performed poorly.

Just gotta be happy we get stuff outside of Marvel from Hot Toys these days.

I say we’ll see some rank and file clones eventually, I honestly don’t see Wolffe or the like being made, just crazy we haven’t gotten the 212th yet considering he was the first standard clone ever shown off. Then again, Loki was huge and we haven’t seen a single figure from it so who knows

We *should* get Wolffe tho, he is a boss-looking character for sure and has very distinctive touches. I'm not saying we will get him, but a HT version would look very fine on the shelf.

I would love to see HT do a Wolffe figure. It actually wouldn’t bother me a bit if they went a little clone crazy. There are a lot of them I wouldn’t mind having from HT.

For Wolffe we need Plo Koon and I would get both.

And then I would need 2-4 Wolfpack troopers to go with them...

Got the email saying Rex is delayed October-December 2021.

Same.

I got that e-mail for my 2nd Rex, not my first, who was ordered on Day 1.

Thinking some of us might still see him by the end of the month or so.

yup no complaint here. By this time next year this section'd flooded with new announcements from Book of Boba, Kenobi and Cassian, so I prefer to take it slow this year to finish off my preorders slowly.

Might wanna edit out your order number.

My flex pay was already postponed to October. But this mail suggests it can also be postponed to December, I guess.

So my Rex appears to be stuck in France now since FedEx appear to have abruptly stopped all UK services until further notice. He was supposed to be here today. Great.

 

[Rbeato]

Just noticed on TW for second batch it has an estimated ship date of Oct 20th. Hope that happens

You're not having much luck with figure deliveries this yr mate.
Sorry to hear.

@chrisstruthers That's crazy. Did they say why?

@chrisstruthers That's crazy. Did they say why?

A bunch of jargon I couldn't be bothered reading, but I'm just looking at this thinking "Where is Rex? Is he Safe? Is he alright?".

I stopped using FedEx years ago because they do nothing but **** me about, but it was the fastest service TBA offered so I risked it .

 

[chrisstbh]

FedEx must have heard me talking smack about them cause he arrived like 10 minutes later. Some quick pics.
