Don't know how real this is... but another HT To-Do LIST just dropped:
John McClane

Didn't Nute Gunray get cancelled due to racism? Even worse (given hwere HT is located), anti-Asian racism?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.
Dewback is different - it was clearly created as a Mando Dewback in the show's heyday then they did a bit of an ANH tweak to some aspects to release it as an OT Dewback (even if all the Mando aspects are still clearly visible) when the Blurrg became a pegwarmer.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.

Yikes yeah hard to defend any of that, in fact I wouldn’t. But didn’t they change the accents in the Clone Wars? Maybe that would fly?Ah, so...
If they did a new Hulkbuster, why wouldn't they do a Powerloader? The MCU is dead, why not, Star Wars is a struggling brand so HT needs to go back to the well?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 boy can dream1/6 scale Alien Queen? I think not..
I know these are coming along with Catwoman and Penguin. I believe it. Not sureI think one of the members here posted this over on Reddit. Haven't seen anything anywhere else yet.

Neca is 1/10th scale though..FWIW, the NECA 1/18 Alien Queen is 30” long by 15” high.
My degree in mathemagic tells me that a 1/6 scale Queen would be _90”_ long by _45”_ high!
Seven and a half feet long by almost four feet high.
Yeah, we’re definitely getting this. Right after the full 1/6 scale Millennium Falcon.

Now to see what it says on Stan Winston’s site.
The legs are always bent, not sure about tail length but tails didn't take much space bc curly and bendy wires.The official height of the Queen puppet was 14-15’. That’d make her 28-30’ long.
Using those numbers I get a 1/6 scale Queen as 30” high and 60” long.
Either way, working up from NECA’s dimensions or down from the Stan Winston “official” size, this would be a gigantic figure.
I don’t see HT doing this. Of course if they did…
