Hot Toys Star Wars?

[ProgMatinee]

I can do without the characters SSC already made for the most part. Yes, HT might blow them away but I really don't have any interest in duplicates.

Something like ROTJ Luke, if they focused on making the Endor version I would go for it, but otherwise I'd pass for sure.

There are a few figures such as Bespin Han however that I would certainly upgrade.

But 80% of the figures don't need replacing.

Gonna be funny if the guy who originally posted this comment on Facebook meant it in a completely benign way. Or possibly got confused and thought that was an Indiana Jones quote

Ha...that would be funny from a certain point of view.

I'm game for this. I've been juggling HT Batman and HT Terminator so far so 1/6 Star Wars figures are right up my alley.

I wouldn't buy obscure characters (couldn't afford it and I doubt Hot Toys would attempt it but I'm down for a Luke (can be Farmboy, Bespin, Jedi Knight or all), Leia (SW, Empire), Han (SW, Bespin), Vader, Chewie, Yoda, a Stormtrooper, C-3PO, R2-D2 and Obi-Wan Kenobi. If it's OT, I'm interested.

I'm not going to hold my breath on this though. Just going to let it slide until it does or doesn't come. *cough* Hot Toys Superman *cough* Bruce Lee *cough* Spoon *cough* Matrix *cough* weird anime ____

Oh, the droids. $h!t!!!!

 

[Kamandi]

It's gonna be freakin' hysterical when Dorgs sees this.

 

[The Chaver]

What is collecting if you don't buy the new updated versions?? Not much of a collector if your completely satisfied with last generations model..?

 

[devilof76]

I'm honestly underwhelmed by the whole deal. All I've ever really wanted form them is a RE:4 Ada Wong, and this don't cut it (whatever it is).

Was probably meant to be:

'THE FORD IS STRONG WITH US'.

The word was supposed to be "Fiord" - OMG - They're doing Hitchhicker's Guide!!!! EEEeeee!!!!

 

[cloudfilter]

Ahem.

That's a good point, I'd forgotten about this. I'm glad you reminded me before I got too exited about loads of cool 1/6 stuff coming. It might just be a bunch of statues and stormtrooper cosbabies.
Not that I wouldn't love a stormtrooper cosbaby come to think of it.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Their translations tend to be off.

There may be some very heartbroken people next year.

 

[Khev]

They just confirmed on Facebook that in addition to Indiana Jones they're starting a new line based on Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Oh well.

 

[thenammagazine]

Premature celebration....he should last longer now until we actually hear something.

Happens to all the HT fanboys.

Uh.. go play with your Hasbro figures dude..

It'll happen.

Why don't you go coddle your DX02. It's not happening. If it were, I think HT would've announced that (being it's bigger) and ran with Indy in the fine print saying, "Hot Toys looking forward to Fortune and Glory kid..." Look forward to just your a-typical SSC/HT collaboration on characters Sideshow can't do, like Chewy, the droids, etc.

 

[The Josh]

Taking the outrageous fandom of HT buyers and their photoshopping and nitpicking and adding in a healthy dose of Star Wars fanboy and you've got a recipe for the whole forum to implode upon itself.

I'm tellin ya gonna be end of the world stuff right there.

If Hot Toys starts updating figures SSC has already made some of the "before and after" pictures are going to be outright hilarious. Imagine side by side pics of SSC/HT ANH Leia, Bespin Han, Yavin Luke, etc.

Not sure hilarious is the word I would use. I could see this board becoming down right unbearable.

 

[devilof76]

ATF!!!

 

[Ddevil192]

I think that HT will just be helping out SS with some of the Star Wars figures, figures that SS just can't make due to lack to trying or lack of confidence they can do the character into figure justice. I garuntee that the first figure HT does release is Chewie, because for years SS has said they have him on their plate and trying to do tests and get the fur right but are just not doing well at it at all, thats when they call HT and ask for help.

Oh man, I loled.

Oh, it would be ____ing hilarious. HT trying to milk us for an extra $80 for a sculpt that doesn't even look like Ford.

But then a few months later they release a better version that actually looks like Harrison and then ANOTHER one a year later that has wonky PERS eyes.

And fans will buy all three.

Doubtful. Don't forget, we're talking HT fans here. They'd probably just stick with the first, spend $1k on a headsculpt from Trevor with his scrotum hair punched into the head and starched like Ford's, another $500 on accurate socks, etc.
