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

[Johnny Utah]

This would be the perfect time for sideshow to come out of their bunker and start making figures Hot Toys wants to ignore

Bunker was destroyed by rebel scum.

Yeah Sideshow could put out all the figures they want but I wouldn't be buying a single one of them. Their 1/6 figures are just awful.

I remember getting their Maul figure and it looked great, like props to Sideshow for that, but my god the figure felt like it was held together with Blu Tack, loose joints, figure wanted to do the splits all day, wrist pegs were too weak to support the hands that were simply just holding a plastic lightsaber that weighs nothing, lightsaber blades were bent (and still bent after 2 replacements).

He has the same look on his face often worn by a certain recently-disgraced Fox News host....? Man, whatever. This just seems like a really weird expression. Perhaps its just me.

Jedha Patrol is saying that we’re getting more releases. Guess we’ll see if we get more later tonight.

What if SSC started putting all their figs on Worldbox bodies and re-released 'em, fans can dream - and we can dream big while we are at it.

He looks like one of the Bogdanoff twins with a beard painted on.

The exception I would say is Vader. Just got the Sideshow RotJ version. Proportions and overall look far superior to the Hot Toys ESB Vader I had before. Lightsaber blade is much better to.

Not surprised by todays announcements or should I say lack of announcements. And not disappointed because as an OT collector I’ve become used to the lack of OT figures. Saves me lots of money. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if Vader & C-3PO is the extent of Hot Toys ROTJ celebration.

That would be unprecedented so be prepared to shell out more money.

It might only be maybe three more figures, but it's highly unlikely it'll just be two.

Who is that? John Wayne?

I thought he looked like Bruce Banner stopped turning into Hulk halfway.

Checking releases in the Hot Toys TMS series, i noticed they skipped TMS 100 and TMS 101 between The Bad Batch Wrecker (TMS 099) and Darth Sidious (TMS 102).

Wondering what those could be and if they are actually Star Wars related or not.

This...was heartbreaking. Damn website kept crashing. Where the heck are all the reveals? I was expecting SOMETHING from RoTJ
