Hot Toys Star Wars?

[plastic_addiction]

I only have a few of SSC OT figures, including old Ben, which is one of my favorites out of my 50+ 12" SSC figures. So I'm actually looking forward to whatever, if anything, HT does. I don't have Han and only have Jedi Luke, so any of the main gang from ANH would be welcomed.

 

[ProgMatinee]

The sculpts are fine.

yeah, i said they got character. thats a good thing!

 

[KBA]

This is great news! I hope, as others have mentioned, Hot Toys just offers the main squeezes as sort of upgrade offerings, and Sideshow can fill the gaps in between. Everybody wins.

All I really want is a Hot Toys grade Han Solo. Possibly a Vader, but Sideshow could probably handle that --their ANH Vader was pretty awesome.

 

[Darkseed]

All this and nothing has been officially announced. How much fun it will be when or if "it" exists

There were HOT TOYS VS. SIDESHOW and HOT TOYS STAR WARS threads long before this "teaser" popped up.

Then Hot Toys vs Hot Toys. Then somebody makes a custom then Hot Toys is bashed and trashed. Sell their collection to fund the custom.

When it's not available for viewing:

1, Hot Toys we want you to make this line.
2, Snippet info tease revealed. Place goes nuts. Mouth watering and all.
3, Speculate dates for a little image snippet.
4, More speculating.
5, What ifs and what nots.
6, Again.
7, Months pass.
8, Teaser arrives.
9, Analyze to the death. Even when it's something nobody can see but for those that want to.
10, Specifications arrive.
11, The place goes mental. Dead on likeness.
12, Excitement settles down. It's not as accurate as they thought.
13, Analyze and nitpick to the death.
14, So many months pass.
15, Product released. Best ever, figure of the year.
16, Custom attempts arrive.
17, Place goes mental, everybody wants it. Hot Toys is inferior.
18, Analyze and nitpick to the death.
19, People offload their figures to fund it.
20, Inflation on customs all the way. Hot Toys sucks. The end.

Sound familiar?

We all know how we feel as well as the feelings of others. No more needs to be said until Hot Toys actually produces 1/6 Star Wars, and that's even if they do.

What will the speculators do then?

 

[thenammagazine]

What about the people that come into this thread voicing their opinion that either don't drink or can't afford Sprite or Sierra Mist?

There's always the Hasbro Appreciation threads.

But it's "laughable" because we're not so arrogant to think HT, nor it's fanboys are infallible.

 

[The Josh]

Exactly. So it matters in some threads with certain companires but not all?

Not for me. I operate that way all the time.

Well I genuinely fail to see what it has been about. Please enlighten me. (That probably sounds sarcastic but it really is not).

Its been about people who just bash people who like HT. Things that have been said are at people who bash SS without being able to at least be adult about it.

Oh yeah, It's all starting to come back to me.

if someone says something about a toy, why escalate it to a personal comment? toys don't have feelings and SSC isn't our baby sister that needs its honor defended with scathing personal responses. but whatever.

regarding HT, I really don't see huge improvements on several of the figures coming. if there are they'll probably just be on the head sculpt and paint. I'll be on the lookout for TA loose heads. I can not see the ANH Han Solo outfit and accessories being improved on so much that it justifies a $70-$100 increase in price.

 

[The Josh]

Good, at least the two of us are having fun then.

Indeed

unfortunetly for a few people its not a "coke is better than pepsi" discussion its a "coke drinkers are better than pepsi drinkers" discussion.

I like Coke. Though I will drink Pepsi.

In all honesty I see more HT "fanboys" talking ____ than the other way around. Its pretty similar to what the Medicom back in the day.

 

[DiFabio]

toys don't have feelings and SSC isn't our baby sister that needs its honor defended with scathing personal responses.

You just opened a huge can of worms there.

Some could argue that SSC, or even Hot Toys is their baby sister that needs it's honor defended.

And hell, some people have made the strangest posts/threads that I wouldn't doubt them believing that toys have feelings of their own.

Its pretty similar to what the Medicom back in the day.

The medicom fans are extinct, their fire has gone out of these forums.

Not even close, I can think of 1 person who alone has talked more garbage than the other side combined, but its irrelevant. Both sides should feel free to comment on the toys, but not the collectors.

Usually its cause people lack the ability to adequately explain their opinion without being hateful. Toys or not respect in being able to explain is important. That is an issue for several members here.

Mine too, but I think we're talking about different things.

Yeah, pretty boring things tbh

IMO, at the end of the day disrespect to a person is worse than disrespect to a plastic toy.

 

[vodoun]

They don't though. Have you not followed these discussions? it gets ripped apart endlessly. On and on, month after month.

Then the ones who criticize and rip everything apart go mental at the ones who are sick to the backside of the same discussions month after month. Every teaser/reveal and launch goes exactly the same way.

Exactly. To have the command of the english language is a wonderful thing. When they can't express themselves, you're all haters! jealous hater trolls! Education in this day of age has severely broken down.

[a-dev]

Sorry everyone, I just called Hot Toys and told them I can't afford to collect all their Terminators, Aliens, Predators, superheroes, classic war movie figures, Indiana Jones and Star Wars. So they've cancelled their plans for a Star Wars line. Please don't hate me, but I just can't do it.
