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

[slynger]

OT characters are always welcome, for me; just go back to The Clone Wars.

Considering they announced the Clone Wars line/license around May 4th last year, surely they'll release something new this May 4th.

Hoody's thread is this forum's equivalent of the Twi'lek healing baths.

You mean you've been equally wrong in both?

I just had a look at my preorders and the current OT list is just sad. All I have is Snowspeeder Luke, Bespin Lando, and the Gentle Giant Leia 1/6 statue.

For **** sake make Bespin Han, more Hoth stuff, and more ROTJ stuff. I would hope ROTJ Vader would be coming soon at minimum.

 

[Mondragon]

I imagine Mando Luke would be the slightly different tunic, and belt configuration? Is the robe darker, black?
But what are people anticipating the differences would be in "Mando V3" ?
I mean besides the addition of the Beskar spear?
And maybe the Darksaber, which he pretty much owned that episode.

Or is this about getting a new removable helmet head-sculpt?
With a "portrait" that is less beat up bloody, and closer resembling the helmet removal of the final episode?
I would love to see that!

Also what are the chances of those two being a two(three) pack? With both Jedi Luke and removable helmet Djarin, with Grogu packed between them? The set commemorating the final episode- "The Rescue"

Luke does have a slightly different costume than his ROTJ look. And yes, Mando will come with the Beskar spear, Darksaber, head sculpt, and higher base price than the V2. Probably will cost a similar price to V2 because he is likely to come with less stuff. And I don't think HT will make that speeder they previewed.

Also come with the correct thigh guard and knee pad.

And hopefully improved chrome Beskar paint!

So in peoples experience, have these slight running changes justified and generated all new figures before?
Not doubting, just curious?
As these are now likely the versions I would want most, and put side by side, with Grogu between them.
Symbolic of where the Classic Trilogy hands-off (in reverse) from the D+streamingverse. And visually as it now stands the last place we see the still hopeful positive Luke, once intent to bring about the return of the Jedi, before he supposedly becomes the failed coward of the Disney Sequels.
Also for a Helmet Removal Djarin (Pascal), over the one where he's all broken and bloody from S1, I do prefer this S2 "The Rescue" appearance , where having fulfilled his quest to return Grogu to his "kind", he says goodbye, and in turn also earns the Darksaber.

I wouldn't really call it a slight running change. I would consider the potential Season 2 accessories and the differences in the armor to be significant enough to warrant another release, especially when factoring in the popularity of the show and character.

A small change would be like hair color or facial hair, in which case Hot Toys will not necessarily release a new version, like there were no Infinity War/Endgame versions of Falcon and Scarlet Witch.

But it ultimately depends on the character, their popularity, if there's enough of a change to make it worthwhile, and if there's an opportunity to release it.

Din Djarin, Vader, Fett, and Stormtroopers are popular enough and have enough differences between appearances (for those who care) to justify their various releases.

The Mandalorian is popular enough that a Season 2 Din Djarin is an easy pick, especially with all the new accessories it can come with. Likewise, there is enough pent up demand for Luke and enough differences in his costume to pretty easily justify a Mandalorian version.

I do hope you are right!

What about those two versions released together as a set, showcasing the "The Rescue" of Grogu.

They already teased the next Mando.

I would say Luke Mando and Mando v3 are a certainty.

"teased" V3? Link? thanks!

I think we can all agree that the most likely next releases are Mando Luke and V3 Mando....

Hope so!

Is there another thread for this?
Link?

 

[Wor-Gar]

"teased" V3? Link? thanks!

Yes, in both the Dark Trooper PO photos and Boba Fett/Nomad photos.

But you are lazy so I will help you...

 

[Hoody999]

Damn Fett looks badass there !!

But specific only to nuStar Wars.

This thread is simply about the NEXT SW figure, whatever that may be.

Anyone buy from AlterEgo? What's the catch? Free shipping...reward points.... do they not double box or charge for shipping later or something? Seems better than other places atm

Alter Ego are good to go. I've ordered from them before and continue to do so. I currently have Moff Gideon and the Mando Boba Fett 2-pack on pre-order through them.

"Whoa, good thing I got my armor out of your ship before they blew it up, huh Mando? Good for me." "........"

 

[Mondragon]

That's the great new V3 Mando? What happened to a (removable helmet) Djarin head sculpt Pascal likeness) .
It's just a repack with the spear and that one armor plate change. LOL! Not even the Darksaber?
Is there some great change I'm not seeing? WTF is the V3 excitement about.
Or is there an actual pic of the new head-sculpt?

Thats a tease from the Boba announcement, he also appeared along side Bo-Katan in her photos.

All people are going off is a Mando looking as he does in season 3, the same figure they had at a show riding a speeder bike.

Who knows it or when it will be announced or what accessories it may come with.

Unless he is going to look radically different come season 3 part of me wants HT to hold off to potentially give people even more variety to at least make it stand out more compared to the S1 Beskar version.

You asked where the v3 figure had been teased so I posted one picture for you. Why would they show everything it might come with in some other figure's pictures?

Spear, thigh armor, and don't forget knee pad gun. Head sculpt is still speculation as is the potential for a better paint on the armor. v3 is coming clearly... but most of its bonus material is speculation.

Excitement varies of course. Some people are very excited about the differences between ESB Vader and ROTJ Vader... not much more than Mando between v2 and v3 really, but its the little things that matter to people.

Not sure where you got that there was 'great change' or that it was a great figure.
