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

[CrankbaitJon]

ROTJ40th with be May 4th I am guessing.

My Bad Batch interest is very low at the moment. I'm interested in the figures though.

It really blows my mind that Cassian from Rogue One didn't go up while Andor was airing (Director Krennic did trickle in way late, so it was within the realm of possibilities, of course). And it's crazy to me that nothing from the Andor show has popped up yet. It's clear Hot Toys is still running behind - Daredevil from that She Hulk show was said to be coming and is still nowhere to be found, and the AOTC anniversary figures barely made it in last year.

But to my knowledge, every D+ show has gotten figures, except for Andor. We're two months since the first season wrapped, so you'd think a prototype or something would have popped up, or some kind of license announcement, but nothing. It's definitely strange.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

I think there will be 1-2 more figures from Wakanda Forever so they are for sure late on things.

 

[RandomHero]

I hope they're just running late and not going to ignore, or do the bare minimum, on the Cassian show. I'm not going to be unreasonable and expect them to make five figure, but I'd really love a Luthen Rael. He was a huge part of the show, and as we learned, a huge part of the early Rebellion. Skarsgard absolutely killed it in the role, with perhaps the best monologue in Star Wars history. I'd absolutely love one of him to pair with Cassian.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Since Jesse is coming soon, they might keep the ARC trooper train going with Echo or Fives.

 

[RandomHero]

It does feel like Fives has a really good shot since they are doing some Clone Wars stuff for the 20th anniversary. I have a feeling they're probably going to do more of the animated stuff than the cartoon stuff, even though the cartoon show is the anniversary. The animated show is much more well known and well received, but as long as we get some more Clones, I don't care how they do it, honestly.

 

[EdViler]

These are on top of my wanted list

 

[slynger]

Definitely more clones coming. Minimal mold changes, simple paint markings and most weapons/jet packs can be reused - all stuff HT never passes up.

I would love an Alpha class ARC trooper and Captain Fprdo phase 2. And Durge.

Their window of opportunity seems to be running out. Just can’t see them releasing him during Mando season 3, and that starts in a month. That said they must have some obligation with Disney to make something from each show, so just can’t see them passing up on (at the very least) a Cassian figure. Probably with his droid. I’m sure they’re also warming up those Shoretroopers and Death Troopers for re-release as well.

And you would need a brand new (DieCast) General Grievous to go with them. After all, he premiered in the original Clone Wars cartoon.

God I want that so bad. I know some collectors are fine with the SS version, but just isn't for me.

Grievous is the perfect ROTS 20th anniversary figure though, I'd be shocked if we got him for a Clone Wars anniversary.

I’ve always said that if anybody can do Grievous the right way, it’s Hot Toys. He would be expensive, but given his role, very much worth it.

Now we find out if the wait list is fake or not. I know a lot of people are pretty certain that there will be plenty in stock once it ships, but I'm skeptical of their beliefs.

HT is smart enough to see that their Mando stuff is still readily available and I wouldn’t be surprised to see they adjusted production to match the market. One of the reasons I jumped on the Clone Pilot WL when that happened. It converted just fine, but I don’t see these as staying in stock forever.

I could answer that for you right now.

Yeah? What's your take?

 

[ArtDamage]

Clone Troopers. Storm troopers, a few main characters, etc seem as if they should be the staples that should always be in stock really.

I'm not sure why they would be averse to that if they are indeed cutting stock on stuff. I understand lesser important characters being short production runs. Something like Kuill for example.

However, there's really no good reason for plain white clone troopers, that are essentially printing money with molds already made, to be in short supply. A lot of new figures are an opportunity to sell a companion trooper to someone as well.

So I guess in short, I don't know if the waitlists or whatever are real. If they are though, I think that makes HT/SS the fools, not us.

I wonder if the aotc first wave is a warning from hot toys. Preorder or else! My take is those figures will be low production, to keep us on our toes. The anakin, padme, and mace will be plentiful. They will not limit stock on main characters. I got the email for the shiny arriving early so we will see soon enough.
