I haven?t even added in multiples of ones I?m going to get 🤦*♂️
In the end I want 3 tuskens, at least 2 dark troopers to flank the Moff. And once clones all out, 2 corusant, and at least 2 501st

So far I?m all in on the Mando like except the mustard trooper.
 
Yay, I'm happy for everybody who wanted them to put Kuiil up for PO!

*crosses fingers for an Armorer* plz plz plz

Wor-Gar is going to be happy, that's for sure.

:lol

I am happy; happy to be wrong in this case. I truly thought Kuiil would be destined for Howard's private collection -- and I admit I was clearly wrong -- but I am extremely happy to see another alien -- especially this one -- being made by HT. I hope the floodgates open now for many aliens to flow.

Kuiil, and Blurrg, shows there is no limit to what HT will produce provided the show is a hit and popular.
 
As long as the actor playing the character isn't a conservative, lol.


Well, yeah, there's that. :lol


But you know, if HT goes through every character they can, eventually they will run out and have to consider Greef and Dune. It is possible they actually started rough development at some point on them both.
 
Cara Dune was immensely popular and Disney had plans for the character to be a big part of things moving forward. It's evidenced by her returning for multiple episodes of season 2 and getting her own spin off show. Clearly that's all dead now, but it wouldn't be out of reason to assume Hot Toys was developing a figure and sculpt for her.

Even if they decided to make her, the licensor (Lucasfilm) would shut it down, so no point in hoping that ever sees the light of day.
 
Things will change.

Alec Guinness was vocal about not liking Star Wars, even said people who liked it were of low intelligence. Perhaps when all this kind of stuff blows over -- and it will -- figures of her character will start to be made.

I can't imagine them never making a Cara Dune figure. I mean, Mando's heyday was likely the first two seasons, and if season 3 isn't a step up, then there will be even more motivation to go back to the well.
 
Could happen sooner than some might think if Kennedy gets ousted this year. Favreau is the master of keeping secrets. Imagine if Cara Dune makes a surprise return to the show? The internet would explode.

I'm never gonna be a billionaire but I can still hope that it happens :lol

Everyone is trapped in a room and she shows up to save everyone at the end of Season 3. Star Wars Theory cries, Pablo Hidalgo cries, both for very different reasons, lol.
 
Well said all around. These kids that were born in the 90's but are now grown have no concept of SW toys pegwarming in the heyday of toys no less! 1986-1994 toys were still huge and yet NOTHING from Star Wars on the toy shelves. Kenner finally gave up which allowed Lucas to renegotiate his merchandising deal with them.

If the mighty OT couldn't move product 2-3 short years after ROTJ left theaters when toys were all the rage then I'm not going to sit here and be shocked if two trilogies later the toys peeter out when kids are more interested in other forms of play anyway.

It really does come down to what accompanying media is out at that time as Howard Chan confirmed with his comments about Mando.



I like information.

So ST sales are "awful." Compared to what? And are "good" SW HT sales really good compared to say Marvel? I'm genuinely curious.

Imagine if box office numbers were given in Howard Chan terms and nothing else:

Star Wars: GREAT
Empire Strikes Back: AWFUL compared to the previous film!
Return of the Jedi: An improvement over previous film!
Phantom Menace: AWESOME

And so on. I like numbers. I like context. I like knowing exactly how much money Solo lost, how TFA did compared to Titanic, and so on.

From Lucas to Kennedy they all lie so I like it when statements are supported by evidence and context. But by all means be a good little gaslighter, stay in your lane and swallow what they give you to swallow.

We gave you numbers in the tros thread. You ignored those to

Don't underestimate the ability of Disney to be petty. Unless Mando totally tanks in season 3, there's no way Cara comes back even for toys. Mando season 3 doesn't even need to be a step up, it just needs to not fall flat, which it won't. Viewership probably goes down no matter what with Grogu gone. Any dip in eyeballs or dollars will be chalked up to that.

As far as Alec Guinness, that's a different set of circumstances. I kind of liken it to Mark Hamill calling his character Jake Skywalker and ripping on Last Jedi during the press tour, and being told to shut up by Disney. I'd imagine that's what would have happened with Guinness if he were alive and part of the sequels while making those comments.

It's different with Carano. She's a politically charged person in a politically charged world, who was at odds with the politically charged people who signed her checks. She would have been fired before season 2 if Favreau and Pascal, two people on the other side of the political spectrum from her, didn't go to bat for her. Rian Johnson called people who didn't like TLJ toxic man babies and he still has some kind of movies in development down the line. That's more what Guinness did, which is very different from Gina. She won't be back. Especially not with Bo-Katan and Ahsoka Tano ready to replace her as the female lead of Star Wars.

Could happen sooner than some might think if Kennedy gets ousted this year. Favreau is the master of keeping secrets. Imagine if Cara Dune makes a surprise return to the show? The internet would explode.

There have been people saying Kennedy was going to get fired for three years now, dating back to the polarized divide on Last Jedi. That the damage done to the brand and fanbase would cost her. Then she was going to get fired because Solo underperformed at the box office. Then she was going to get fired because Rise of Skywalker was a total mess and failed to fix the damage done from TLJ. Then she was going to get fired because Star Wars was falling so far behind Marvel. There's been a million reasons she was going to get the axe and nothing happened.

I'll believe it when I see it, but I doubt she's going anywhere. Not with Mandalorian and Clone Wars having turned the franchise around.

Wow. Are you keeping all of those? I can't imagine spending close to 10 grand in a single year on action figures.

I think only shame and humiliation will cause Disney to bring her back. Like Forbes and that one shareholder publicly calling out Bob Chapek and the powers that be for their disgusting hypocrisy in firing Carano. Now if George Lucas publicly declares that Cara Dune was his favorite new character then the humiliation just might be too much for them to bear.

If something like that happened I could see them bringing her back and KK making up some BS about the person who fired her acting autonomously and not representing LFL, bla bla bla.

No way.

Is this a game? Are we supposed to pick out the figures we believe you would not buy?

And if you are getting all those... then what the hell do you already have?
 
It's all relative to how much money you make and what your expenses are. HT are cheap compared to a lot of other hobbies. Some people go deep into Prime One. Some people collect cars. Some travel all around to exclusive golf courses.
