Sorry, but I really wanted to see Poe.
That ship has sailed, per Hot Toys CEOSorry, but I really wanted to see Poe.
That is the reason, but is very annoying for the regular collector. They show those protos at various conventions but they will never get released. Quite disappointingThey probably do it to gauge interest, so that they can not make the characters that people want.
Funny, I have a friend at work who think my toy collecting is hilarious. She always asks about what I bought and how I set up my display. I showed her the milk carton and she said that someone should make a prototype video just like the missing kids in the soul asylum runaway train video from years ago. All the missing prototypes like baze and Death Star trooper with the date of the first con they were shown, set just like the video. That would be hysterical.
You need to tick the box with RO tank commanderYou can use this image as a base and add all the other figures that haven't been made.

We can find a milk carton to add those images
Not necessarily me This is why I put the image here, to be upgraded. BTW this is the Ok sign I used:You need to tick the box with RO tank commander
Agreed!Not necessarily me This is why I put the image here, to be upgraded. BTW this is the Ok sign I used:

For me the 4 Imperials from the milk box are enough
A list of figures shown and never made would be good to have and update constantly. Then to go and rub it in Hot Toys face every times we get a chanceAgreed!
We should start a new thread of MIA SW figures. Especially after recent showcases.
I feel like those ships were only ever made to look cool at conventions and Hot Toys never intended to make them (maybe the falcon cockpit). Out of the rest of those, I only think we’ll see Bespin Luke one day for sure and more than likely some version on 3PO. Battle Droid is likely if we see one in live action again same for the 212th. (Maybe a Kenobi series flashback, same goes for the CW armor Obi-Wan)You can use this image as a base and add all the other figures that haven't been made.

Boushh is one of my most wanted from the OT.
The 1/6 ships shown by HT would cost a fortune. They were not likely to be made, despite some believing till the last moment that HT will make them. An EFX Studio Scale TIE Fighter goes for $1500-2500. DeAgostini studio scale Falcon has a similar cost (not even mentioning the MR). So to make these in 1/6 would be VERY expensive, and even shipping would be a ton. The Falcon cockpit could have been made if they really wanted to. The same with various speeders. But not the TIEs.I feel like those ships were only ever made to look cool at conventions and Hot Toys never intended to make them (maybe the falcon cockpit).

Some of the figures shown would likely sell bad. I'm sure the Solo figures that were made had low POs. The Death Star Trooper guy probably wasn't worth making a headsculpt for a unnamed character. Some of the others have no excuse.The 1/6 ships shown by HT would cost a fortune. They were not likely to be made, despite some believing till the last moment that HT will make them.

But the figures shown there should all have been made by now.
If they were released after being shown they would have sold well enough, even the less desirable ones. But I believe this list of unmade prototypes will get bigger in time to the disappointment of the fans. But HT will make other Vader, Fett and Ironman figures for sure, to cover all their costs.Some of the figures shown would likely sell bad. I'm sure the Solo figures that were made had low POs.

I mean if you were Hot Toys would you make the Iron Man repaint that is guaranteed to sell, or the Death Star Trooper that was on screen for around ten seconds?If they were released after being shown they would have sold well enough, even the less desirable ones.

I would make both. Because variety in products brings more fans to the table. Especially the Death Star Trooper who has the nostalgia effect for vintage collectors.I mean if you were Hot Toys would you make the Iron Man repaint that is guaranteed to sell, or the Death Star Trooper that was on screen for around ten seconds?
