New rumoured Hot Toys leaks!

[lordnastrond]

If I was going to give this list some credence I think the ones most likely are:

• T-800 Endoskeleton [given the recent Terminator license love] - diecast or not is up to debate
• Dutch 2.0 [probably making use of the assets they've used for their new T-800 face sculpt]
• Catwoman and Penguin from Returns [Howard does hate competition and the new Returns Keaton suggest interest in the line]

Much less likely:

• Ripley in Powerloader making use of the old [newer] Ripley head sculpt with an updated hair sculpt or rooted. Doable simply because they can reuse old assets.

Not a chance:

• John Connor - not sure this is a must-have for many when compared to the T-800 or T-1000 or Endoskeleton and has HT ever done a child character and likeness? genuinely curious.
• Alien Queen - would be an entirely new piece from them at larger scale, lots of R&D needed.

A T2 kid John Conner is more unbelievable to me than the Queen Alien. When’s the last time Hot Toys even did a kid based figure? I see them doing a Sarah Conner 2.0 before a John.

Jabba with Throne made something move...

Jabba and ANH 3PO really would be the last of the Star Wars figures I would buy from HT

My HT Star Wars collection would be done (enough)


Only Nute Gunray could bring my wallet out one last time. But, like Jabba, that will never happen.

I don’t know, I could see a Hot Toys Jabba happening. Surely they wouldn’t let Sideshow out do them. They just did that Dewback, which I wouldn’t have expected. Jabba is actually smaller. And the throne would just be a big slab of plastic (thankfully not Sideshow’s desire to make everything unnecessarily heavy and brittle with polystone) with a little railing and bowl on top. Throw in a couple of pillows and a crumb reuse from 3 PO and you got a nice deluxe set. Jabba solo for non-deluxe.

Now a Rancor on the other hand is more in the Alien Queen realm of possibility.

 

[Mr. Awesome]

Eh, wouldn't a 1/6 Rancor would be the size of a fridge? Think I'll pass.

Would love to see a John Connor figure but will believe it when I see it. My favourite part of the movie is the galleria scene and subsequent chase so he's more important Sarah.

[MGS_OldBoy57]

Oh no… I would have to buy literally everything from that list.. all must haves for me. Dutch two..

If this is true there’s quite the few POs I would have to cancel

 

[nm.ct]

This list sounds like a pipe dream..most of these make zero sense for HT business wise. Except for maybe the Returns figures.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has this silent dream of Nute Gunray in this scale

If HT was going to make Catwoman and Penguin, why didn't they post a TEASE before JazzInc's PO? They've made teases for this before, 12 years ago. They could have easily disrupted Joost's PO sales in a severe way. But they didn't.

If they make Catwoman and Penguin now, they risk losing a good portion of potential buyers who will remain locked in with Jazz's POs. Even if that's just 20% of the market for these, that's a huge amount to knowingly lose.

If they did that to Joost now, it would be war on the license.

I don't see HT wanting to do that. It wouldn't be good for business. Just my opinion.

I'd like more information about the leaker
