Even if they all show up, we'll probably only get half of them.
Idk...I care a lot more about having good Star Wars content than growing my 1/6 collection.I f****** hate what D+ has done for 1/6 SW movie collectors.
So it seems like we cannot get figures from episodes 1-6 unless they show up in a show? What happened to Star Wars movies? It was an event when a Star Wars film was released, that is until the mouse got involved. Ot collectors like myself will eventually get bored and move on to something else. This year of all marvel and mandalorian has really helped me cut back. I was going hard on plastic crack for a while, multiples of the same figure, figures I didn’t need, just buying because I was afraid they will sell out. I’m also running out of space. Hot toys put up for preorder exactly one figure from my want list this year. The rotj scout. Don’t get me wrong, a bunch of nice figures went up, but the days of tarkin, krennic, and ahsoka surprises didn’t happen for me this year. Thanks for han, C3po, and general kenobi hot toys.Maybe he means if they're in the show they'll release 1 every week, and then do repaints every other week to ride the hype train and if they aren't, we'll get 1 every 4 years and not even the whole line up. I f****** hate what D+ has done for 1/6 SW movie collectors.
What happened to simultaneous Sideshow releases? That must have just been a temporary thing Sideshow convinced HT to do to stick it to the HK resellers?
I’ve ‘heard’ that they want Ahsoka to be simultaneous but who knowsProbably for select figures and dependant on their local preorders. I don't think simultaneous releases are for every order, especially with the cargo ship issue.
Is it, though? In 2022, SW hasWho cares, 2022 is the year of Star Wars, let Marvel have New Year’s Day, by March/April we’ll be inundated with Book of Boba figures.
Most of those Marvel movies/shows will get 1 or 2 figures max each. Let’s face Marvel doesn’t sell that well beyond the main characters, Star Wars does. We’ll get our fair share of figures next year.Is it, though? In 2022, SW has
Meanwhile from Marvel you've got
- BoBF
- Kenobi
- Andor
- Mandalorian S3
And they still haven't put out figures from Hawkeye or finished NWH. I'm not trying to downplay SW, God knows I want more PT figures, or anything based on the videogames, than Ms. Marvel or any Hulk. But even if they made just the MCs from all of those things, there'd still be much more Marvel for HT to draw from than SW based on this year's new releases. Kenobi & Mandalorian will most probably bring a barrage of new figures, but I don't know about Andor and Fett. I've read some leaks for the latter, and they sound solid enough to be true, so apart from one or two mid-tier surprises, it's not a very character-studded show. Andor, I don't know anything about that.
- Morbius, if you're counting it
- DS2: MoM
- Thor 4
- BP2
- Moon Knight
- She-Hulk
- Ms. Marvel
- GotG Holiday Special
I'm sitting here waiting for a cool DX RotS Palpatine, but I think we're more likely to get Courtroom She-Hulk first...
One day...
No Way Home, Doctor Strange 2, Thor 4 will be getting more figures than all of Star Wars will in 2022.Most of those Marvel movies/shows will get 1 or 2 figures max each. Let’s face Marvel doesn’t sell that well beyond the main characters, Star Wars does. We’ll get our fair share of figures next year.
According to the leaks I've read, BoBF could give us one or two CW era characters. Kenobi depends on how deep they go with the flashbacks. I can see HT reusing RotS Anakin & Obi-Wan, plus maybe General Kenobi & General Skywalker. A Vader's a given, but who knows, maybe they'll do variants there too. Maybe a battle damaged version of something. Then you have the main getup Kenobi would wear throughout the series. Maybe some Inquisitors. And then whatever other surprise they have in store. There's stuff to make.I think Marvel dominates 2022 as well. Unless there are some huge characters showing up in Star Wars, I don’t think we get even a quarter of what Marvel will get this year.
BoBF: Maybe we get the updated Boba Fett armor, perhaps a Gammorean Guard, maybe another Bounty Hunter
Kenobi: Kenobi, Vader, Perhaps even a Flashback Kenobi or Anakin
Andor: Andor, probably a trooper or two
Mando S3: I think it premieres in Dec. So most figure reveals won’t be until 2023 imo.
SM: NWH: Still guaranteed to get 5 figures imo.
Hawkeye: Possibly Kate, Clint, Kingpin
DS2: I could see 5-10 figures from this movie based on all the rumors.
Thor 4: I think we get at least 3-5
BP2: 3-5
Moon Knight/She-Hulk/Ms Marvel: Each gets their title charchter
GOTG Holiday: Groot and Rocket are probably guarantees.
2023 doesn’t look any better for Star Wars. Marvel could have GOTG3, Blade, CM2, Fantastic Four, Ant-Man 3, Armor Wars, Ironheart, Groot, Secret Invasion.
Meanwhile Star Wars has Mando S3 figures, The Acolyte, ROTJ 40th Anniversay, Ahsoka…
Well, that's one way to look at it, certainly.I seriously don't get HT. People are all hyped for figures from NWH and here they are with the (I think) third itteration of the same figure only in a different scale now... I hope all the money they make from this goes into R&D for new figures and the aquiring of new licenses. (insert J.J. Jameson laughing GIF). That way at least some good comes of it.
So, bit of a lame start of the HT year. Hopefully (like Book of Boba) it'll only pick up from here...
I'm really not sure that's true. Loki ended up getting 2 figures of a guy in office clothes and they've teased an old man with his underwear out. Mandarin pegwarmed because the movie ruined him. Meanwhile Hela costs ~1K on the aftermarket now. HT has shown that they're willing to use any excuse to rerelease any kind of MCU figure at that. Hell, they've made the exact same Strange figure 3 times now. If he didn't sell, they wouldn't keep doing it. Do you honestly think bloody Andor will sell better than Thor?Most of those Marvel movies/shows will get 1 or 2 figures max each. Let’s face Marvel doesn’t sell that well beyond the main characters, Star Wars does. We’ll get our fair share of figures next year.
Inquisitors will definitely be coming in some way or another. I wish I had the funds to buy multiples, but I doubt I'll be able to. Maybe the main one from the show. I want to go back after I've bought all the main figures and army build some Imperial Guards, Praetorians and the such.Kenobi show Inquisitors and maybe some inquisition troopers like the purge troopers from Fallen Order would be cool. If they make the Purge troopers, there's a good chance for the Airborne Clone Troopers to be made as well.
