Someone needs to make a decent 1/6 Leia first.
I mostly agree, though I would not be at all surprised to see PERS crop up on a super-pricey Luke or Han sometime before 2012 arrives.That depends though. I firmly believe that one of the reasons Sideshow's SW license has been profitable, even in these times, is because they aren't charging HT prices. Really, I just think it's more of the same collaborative efforts like the Armored Bods and Hobbit bods.
I hope they make a Padme from Attack of the Clones. There's no good Padme collectibles out there.
I've been sitting on a spare head from the ill-conceived Snow Bunny Padme to get painted up, thrown on a truetype and put into one of those swank gowns. The bodies are Barbie-style dreck and the headsculpt left something to be desired, but the costuming was pretty amazing for a Hasbro product on all of those.I agree. The TPM portrait editions weren't bad though.

Yeah, I would expect we'll see an AOTC Padme before anything else, and probably not as a sole-Sideshow effort (once again, those damned female bodies). I do hope we get at least one or two of Padme's outrageous TPM gowns with modern manufacturing and costuming out of someone eventually. (To be fair, I'm the kind of sucker they could sell Padme and her damned throne, but I have a thing for overpriced polystone chairs.)That's mainly what I'm talking about. I'd love to see what Sideshow's costuming dept. could do with Padme. Sadly, we'll probably never know.

If its just "more of the same" then why shout "THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH US" in the context of "new" licenses they'll soon be announcing? They didn't do that when collaborating on the Star Wars clones, why start now?
Can you imagine a 1/6 Darth Talon by HT
I think WorGar said it best when he talked about the spoon and how people ran with it and assumed it meant they had the Matrix license. I don't see how this is really any different.
...
Yeah, it'd last about a month or two, until the rubber started leaking and the thinner aspects started snapping off.
Well, guess I will be giving up 1/6 star wars. No way I can keep up at Hot Toys prices.
When they teased the spoon they also teased a Batman symbol and Michael Jackson's Beat It shirt. Only the spoon was guessed incorrectly (and likely only by Western users.) The fact that some people guessed wrong once out of three teases doesn't exactly make Hot Toys' hints indecipherable.
In the interest of not getting my hopes disappointed I'm going to remain as skeptical as possible, but the evidence certainly points to them having acquired the SW 1/6 scale license to some degree (that is, a higher degree than simple collaboration on another base body.)

They did 5 Terminator figures this year, and I think they did 6 Iron Men (BD Mark III, Mech Test Tony, Whiplash, Black Widow, War Machine, Mark IV). BD Mark III may have been last year, though.Well its not like they'd be releasing one a month or anything. What's their most frequent timeframe for any given figure license? Two or three a year?
