Everyone is on the Clone train, but I'd rather have an army of Mandos. Mandos were the bad motha army against the Jedi way before the Clone Wars. Hopefully we get to see that in full effect someday.

The MCU is primarily movie driven. It needs theaters, the excitement, the experience, and the droves of general audiences pouring into theaters internationally to keep the momentum going.
That’s why the interconnected characters and storylines work so well, because it propels people to wonder and discuss what’s next, leading to a gigantic team up cinematic event.
Star Wars benefits from big cinematic experiences at times as well, but it has also existed by just the strength of 3 movies, then 6 and an animated TV show along with video games, books, and comics.
The MCU will continue to grow into just more than its powerhouse blockbusters with the shows on Disney+, but it won’t fully regain its strength the Phase 4 films release and people return to theaters.
But Star Wars is special. It was a powerhouse even when it was only the OT. It endured for decades without the prospect of more movies. It now ensures the objective failings of the ST and the Star Wars fatigue that came around the time of TLJ, Solo, and TROS.
We’re now back in a time of positive growth with The Mandalorian, The Clone Wars Season 7, and The Bad Batch with a whole slate of new shows to look forward to on Disney+.
All in all, whether you’re a fan of the MCU, Star Wars, or both, we’re fortunate to live in a time where there’s so much good and accessible content, even taking the not so good with it.

On the contrary, it is definitely a ****** time to be a DC fan, at least from a Hot Toys collector perspective

Definitely ALWAYS on the Mando train.
Ever since 1980 when I seen Fett on-screen.
He and Chewbacca are my 2 favs...so ANY Hot toys figures of Mandos and Wookiees are most welcome.
The EU is an awesome well for the Mandos,be it in the Novels or comics.
Not to forget also,that the Mandos were a huge thorn in the Jedi side.

which also means that not only are the con reveals finally coming...but that the lists are coming to fruition.
Why wait? She will have on the exact. Same. Outfit. She does now.
If she had a hope of wearing cool new stuff I would be willing to wait for that..... But looks like thats a NO. Shame.
As far as the MCU, i think a big problem for them is going to be the loss of people like Evans and Downey. Those two made those roles their own personal property.

I meant like for them to release her under BoBF and include whatever she has instead of releasing a Mando version and then a slight upgraded BoBF version.

I wouldn’t worry about it.
Regardless of which branding Hot Toys releases her under, they will do their best to include the same minimum number of accessories: 5-7 hands, helmet, weapon, and sand base.
Well if the rumored list is to be true, the available AT the Con figure for SW, the Armorer, might be previewed this week. No other SW fig has been rumored and it is a smaller list than usual, so there could be more. The Armorer is going to be a big deal.

If you mean in stock and ready to ship at the con, it's going to be $$$...
Well I think it took a few months after the Con to get it. Think I remember Scarlet Spider on waitlist quickly, then opened up for more after lots of people wanted it. I like to think I received it in Sept or Oct?
I'm done with the MCU, too much preaching and SJW B.S. Movies should be fun, not an indoctrination session.

Agreed, the way they’ll now basically have a checklist that they’ll be ensuring to check off for every movie to ensure they satisfy the sjw mob....instead of things feeling organic it’ll feel very forced. Ie: female hero character team up in Endgame felt forced yet Mandos finale having an all female team to take Gideon’s ship felt organic
I'm sure I'm wrong, but I like to think Feige is playing their game for now. He is in Hollywood after all. But when it counts with F4 and X-Men rolling around, he will cast it how it looks in the comics. So when they come for him, there is a lot of that crap to point back to.

you guys belong in a museum, lmao
You'll have to pay to see, that's for damn sure.
True, because we're the right-side-of-history, lived experience folks doing the systemic, institutional and unconsciously unbiased work to create safe spaces from (increasingly illegal) hypocritical race theory, wokeness studies and um... bad movies and the landfills of unsold toys/collectibles that follow them into the "dustbin of history."
