1/6 NEXT Hot Toys STAR WARS Figure...?

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

I just know that Hot Toys likes to get army builders out fast, so realistically they would put something like a Tie Pilot or another stormtrooper out before the Death Star Trooper. Maybe it’s because I think they have the absolute worst design of any trooper in Star Wars

You sure?

I don’t like them, but at least they look practical. The Death Star Trooper looks too over the top sci-fi for me

People would still buy multiples. I would buy three. It's easy to source cheap random sculpts nowadays.

Just offer a standard and deluxe, deluxe comes with 2 head varients.

 

[joshuanewman]

In all seriousness does anyone actually think we’d see that before a Tie Pilot, B1 or Shiny Clone

That would work

I couldn't say but back when the DST proto was first shown it was with the Death Star Gunner. Everyone assumed the DST would be first because it's a much more fan favorite character. They even made that console everyone wanted. When the Gunner was made first it seemed a forgone conclusion that the DST was coming shortly. And here we are.

Gunner was an easy release. A head sculpt adds like 5-6 months at least to a figures announcement to release

Please put these ''things'' under spoiler tags, I just about threw-up my dinner all over the computer screen. I still can't believe someone actually passed these designs. Madness! The only First Order trooper design that was even slightly palatable was the TIE Pilot.

He's the happiest Stormtrooper in the Empire.

The one I like best is the flame trooper but the tie pilot would come second after him probably. It's an offensive bunch for sure. Apologies.

I only like the Sith trooper, while I definitely don’t love it, and it’s a lazy design, there’s something about it the red I like

A shame Sith troopers weren't written as being actually Sith ... using the force to make their shots accurate.

 

[fantasticfrog]

Sith troopers? You can put the H after the S and that’s pretty much describes every trooper in the Disney trilogy.

Honestly, every time I look at them it reminds me of South Park's design for Canadians.

When asked why we STILL haven't seen Bespin Han or C3PO as yet,this was the response I was just sent...

You really think they would tell you the honest reason why? And that a customer rep would even know anything about that?

 

[Asta]

Hot Toys have been using that email reply template for years.

I think if you emailed them to tell them that a seagull just shat on your head, they'd send you the same stock answer.

Tomorrow.

Last couple of weeks the announcements came on Tuesday. (At least over here. I guess in the States it would be Monday evening or something). I'm guessing within 12 to 15 hours.

About time they show a Star Wars figure again (hopefully Cobb), but watch and see it being What If Zombie Cap or something.

Or a Venomized Carnage/Carnaged Venom - whatever that butt-uggly thing is supposed to be... For F's sake.

Hopefully that's not the only announcement this week.

Not at all.
This is their response everytime.
It's cut and paste.

 

[jkno]

it’s the same reason they wouldn’t make Veers or Piett, a repainted trooper will bring in more profits than developing a head sculpt of a very minor character

Veers or Piett need good resemblance. The Death Star Trooper can have any generic face.

And BTW why do you quote yourself for more than once?
