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

[VintageDisney]

So predictions for this week?
Mace?
Vader? (Definitely too soon)
Another clone repaint?
General kenobi? (I crack myself up)
Something awesome we haven’t seen before?

Or

Something Probably spider man or at least marvel related.

They’ll throw a curveball and give us Jar Jar Binks

I’m looking forward to seeing what they do next year for the 40th anniversary of ROTJ.
How many figures did they release for the 40th of ESB?
Vader & Fett rereleases
Lando & Snowspeeder Luke
Is Bespin Luke a 40th release?
Am I missing any figures?
I could see HT rereleasing one or 2 figures and giving us 2 new ones.
I’m hoping for Leia Boussh & Endor Han (but who am I kidding, since we haven’t even gotten Bespin Han)
Maybe a General Lando figure?

There could be Leia Boushh, Boba Fett Re-Release, Vader, General Lando, Wickett with Chief Chirpa 2 pack, Admiral Ackbar, Nien Nunb, etc

Thor uses a 7 year old sculpt with a few changes here and there. Lets hope they put better effort for the other figures from that film. I'm looking at you Jane.

They'll use the 7 year old Padme con prototype for Jane.

My guess is
Vader Rotj version with removable mask like the 1/4 version
General Lando (with same sculp)
re-release of endor luke sans deluxe accesories
re-release of endor leia sans wicket
if we are lucky an emperor re-release
i dont think hot toys likes doing aliens but the recent cad bane made me hopeful

I think you nailed it. This is all we can expect. Hot toys isn’t about to design a completely new figure these days like bib, gammo guards, or anything else alien
Reused parts all day long

Is everyone else losing their marbles waiting to see how the new Vader figure will look or is it just me

OBK Darth Vader is my most anticipated reveal.

I found a photo online, I'm hoping it's accurate, that I thought was interesting where Vader's helmet will need new sculpting...

I think Hot Toys will focus more on character releases for the foreseeable future. They have Clone Troopers and Battle Droids for army building. They have character and different ranking Clones. The vehicles for them as well.

Wow, we’re only roughly three weeks away. That’s pretty exciting. I would love to be pleasantly surprised but after their showing at Celebration I don’t know how much you can expect to be here. Even Cad, who was put into preorder a few weeks after Celebration, wasn’t there.

Usually when does hot toys announce the Toy Fair Exclusives?

Last year's Hot Toys announced the Armorer, Cyborg Spidey etc on the 2nd or 3rd of July.

So we might actually get them this weekend. Kind of snuck up on us this year.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Hopefully a OBK Ben on blue outfit as a con exclusive.
Marvel usually gets the most love,so we'll see.
Wouldn't be surprised if a Battle droid or a clone trooper goes up.

I know it’s not gonna happen but AotC Mullet Obi-Wan and Padawan Anakin would be absolutely amazing con exclusives imo.

I can't see those being con exclusives but I think there's a good chance we see them as regular releases as part of the AOTC 20th. I'm actually hoping for General Kenobi as a con-release, which would fast track actual delivery of him to go with General Skywalker. I also hope to wake up one morning with a full head of hair and five inches taller, which is as likely to happen as General Kenobi at this point.

I really would bet you see both your AOTC hopes, maybe even previewed at SDCC...

Those are big sellers. Con exclusives are usually niche figures. They also did normal releases and add in a niche accessory and call that version exclusive. We shall see

Maybe General Kenobi is one of the exclusives or even a Mace Windu with both Prequel and Clone Wars clothes but my bet is on the new fur coat Thor.

 

[RandomHero]

General Kenobi feels like it’d be way too big of a seller to be a con exclusive. So many people are waiting on that one.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Maybe it's the Purge Trooper in stock figures. They did that with the Sith Trooper.

If we don't see that figure at SDCC it's dead and never happening, I really ******* hate HT sometimes.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

I only see General Kenobi if their new Kenobi line is not ready. No way they don't jump on the hype train if their Kenobi line is good to go. They're just sitting on General Kenobi. That figure is a mini set of it's own to go with Airborne and 212 clones. That's a lot of $ to be made and those don't need any hype to sell.

This is how I feel about their vehicles they "tease." They could've made a killing with the Falcon cockpit, but that was just a middle finger to the fans saying, look what we can do but we never will. The Jedi Starfighter was cool, but I think we all knew that was never happening.
I was actually surprised when the BARC went to PO. It gives me a tiny bit of hope that we just might get the AT-RT. I think it's just small enough that it could make the cut.
