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

[Garlador]

If I'm being honest it is a good thing from a collecting standpoint that the Fett show sucked. I'm almost all the way in on the figures from the first two seasons of The Mandalorian, I only skipped a couple of those figures and I am getting multiples of several. It's just not sustainable to collect stuff at that rate.

I gave myself an ultimatum this past November. I sold off a lot of non Star Wars stuff and ordered the two life size as centerpieces. I also ordered a bunch of moducases. Going forward everything has to fit into those moducases. If those cases fill up I either have to quit or start selling.

I think some of it is still coming. Even Fennec Shand is ostensibly a figure from Mandalorian.

I would expect some new Tusken raiders, Black Krssantan, and Cad Bane at the very least.

I think we can safely rule out the skittles crew though... *snicker*

I would definitely consider that Fennec a Mandalorian figure. Along the same line I hope we get Cobb Vanth too, I don't care what label they put on the box as long as we get the sarlaac armor and an Olyphant sculpt.

Cad Bane and Black K are the only other figures I would buy from the show just because they will make really cool figures, which I think is a pretty common sentiment. I have zero interest in anything else.

1/6 Rancor would crack me up. Do what Haslab could not.

Cad Bane is the only thing I would want from BoBF.

Depressed King Kong? I don't think HT will be touching that one.

So there seems to be a bit of a poop storm on the internets .

Apparently Toys Wonderland has started selling preorders of yet to be released Jazzinc products without Jazzinc's permission.

They are a shady company. I never had a problem with two orders, although with my Cajun figure it was put in a rather put together two piece cardboard box. The double bubble wrap saved it. Justin's Collection Sixth Scale Network Group on FB has taken posts down. Guess he don't like his buddy company to look bad.

I can only see Black K and Cad being made from BoBF. Cad was late in the show and probably held onto, so it might take a while for HT to get that one out there. Both will be back in some capacity, so maybe there will be another Fennec situation where it is to promote the new Mando show. If Cobb is made with the armor, that is a Mando S1 figure not BoBF.

Keep getting the urge to sell all my figs to fund a big OT "grail" figure hunt.
Apart from my TESB Boba Fett, it's all stuff from The Mandalorian and Rogue One troopers. My PO's are similar, all Mando and clones. Only OT I've got coming is ROTJ Scout.
Anyhoo, Cobb Vanth or Cad Bane are probably next to PO. As much as I love Timmy Olythant in Justified and quite like Vanth, I'm not sure I'm going to get his figure. Not too fussed about live action Bane either.
If they absolutely nail Chewblacka, I'd probably go for a PO of him.
BoBF is a cheap series for me figure wise. So little to bother with.

You aren't getting Snowspeeder Luke?

 

[matticus]

You aren't getting Snowspeeder Luke?

Oh I am. I hope he gets moved along before many other figures in the absolutely packed Spring release schedule. Reused sculpt and Lando got moved way ahead of schedule.

 

[ScoutingForToys]

Oh wow, totally forgot about Snowspeeder Luke. Yeah, ROTJ Scout and Luke.

I’m quite concerned by their practices lately. I think they’re hurting for cash bad hence why they’re doing these 10-15% discounts but POs with them have to be paid in full, and now this.
I won’t order from them anymore and that’s after a few years of doing business with them. I still have quite a few figures paid off after installments I’m worried about but if I cancel them I’ll lose a ton on NRDs

I'm not accusing anyone of anything but I hope nobody gets ripped off. My rule of thumb is I'll only order from HK if it's an in stock item, no preorders. The only exception I have made is I have preordered a couple figures from onesixthkit who I believe is 100% legit and safe to deal with.

I'm backing off Disney Star Wars figures big time. Sold my ST figures after TROS. I've got Original Mando and Shiny Mando /Grogu on the shelf. I thought we were out of the ST stink with Mando, but BOBF has highlighted some major flaws in the whole tv series venture. I really hope Mando S3 is at least just as good as the first two seasons. But man, I am super wary of any content on the horizon. Not even that pumped for Kenobi. I'm really not a fan of the PT and personally couldn't care about what story they put together to bring Hayden back. I know there are lots of people looking forward to it and they have every right to. I hope they like it. I really do.
Just going to have to patiently wait for the sporadic OT reveals I guess

My feelings are similar. Hated the ST, Rogue One a mixed bag, didn't think much of Solo. The Mandalorian was great. Started to hope that after a few bumps in the road, Star Wars under Disney could improve. They found the right people to make their content. Then BoBF was awful.
I'm thinking The Mandalorian was a fluke. Lightning in a bottle. Hopefully season 3 will manage to match the quality of the previous 2 but my faith in Star Wars just isnt there.
I don't have D+ anymore and I'm not subscribing just to find out if Kenobi poops the bed or not. I'll wait until a few of the shows are up, to subscribe for a month, watch whatever I want, then cancel again.
In terms of collecting, yeah I've got a lot of Mando and trooper stuff. As much as I like Mando, I just don't have the connection with it that I do the OT, so I don't have the connection to the figures. I don't have that "I'd never sell" feeling about my season 1 durasteel Mando that I do my TESB Boba Fett.
I think like you, I'm going to focus on OT stuff from now on. Maybe some PT stuff as well because even though it can't match the OT and those movies have lots of issues, I still have a soft spot for them.

My OT Imperials focus is something I've had for years, and it helped with the limited budget and display space. Yes I wouldn't mind owning a Grogu, or the new Gentle Giant Milestones Leia statue, but I keep focusing on the things I decided to collect and I'm happy. I'd be even happier if these figures below would be finally made, but chances are slimmer every day alas:

The end of Season 2 is mentally a great jumping off point if Mandalorian goes south.

And… we’ll see. But stuff about getting Grogu’s blood and the secret base with evil experiments seem like they are 100% trying to use this as the connecting tether between the end of the OT and “Somehow, Palpatine returned”.

Even the great stuff in BoBF was filling gaps guiding viewers to see how Luke was setting himself up for failure, getting Grogu the hell away from being tied to the ST, and trying to set up more acceptable explanations for established bad decisions.

It still might be great - always possible. But for me, without them legit moving away from the ST, it’s like enjoying a great cruise show on the Titanic. The show may be great, but I’m dreading that destination.

 

[Ramatuelle]

Nothing lasts forever, I tell myself. If nothing else, BoBF sure made THAT much plain.

Enjoy what you can, as long as you can.

At least the Mando episodes in BoBF were good (I felt) and provides us with hope that season 3, with the additional time to write the continuing stories, will at least not suck.

In retrospect I honestly hate the show worse the more time has passed. The only episode that I thought was really good was episode 5(the one Fett didn't even appear in). There was some fun in episode 6 but that episode also is a travesty because it signals what is likely to come, which is loser Luke and a ST tie in. The finale was just more Rodriguez nonsense.
