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

[choombaz]

Random question… is there a app or site to track your 1:6 collection?

I think hobbydb.com is probably the best

It's long been suggested that Howard hates Ford for destroying one of his figures on the Fallon show. You can't blame the guy for being offended by that and not wanting to pursue what's very likely an extremely expensive likeness contract with the guy.

I just don’t think Howard has a sense of humor. I would rather have an actor like Ford who doesn’t take himself seriously (he takes his work very seriously) than a dollie from Howard that just has layers of malice behind it.

Other than fan melt down and speculation over the Late Night figure wrecking comedy, as the reason for lack of Bespin Han.

It’s too bad Howard hates Harrison Ford.

Is there some actual quote, interview soundbite, citation from Howard, confirming ^this?
Link thanks.

It’s been stated on the internet, therefore it is true.

But all it does is hurt Howard's pocketbook and his customers, because Ford doesn't give a damn either way. Ford barely tolerates Star Wars as films, forget Star Wars toys and toy makers. I wouldn't be surprised if Ford didn't even know what make of toy he was busting.

Howard personally whispered into my ears, in my imagination...that Andor figs drop this week.

True he’s a bit of a bite the hand that feeds me kind of guy at times but he flies planes and builds houses for fun. Doesn’t strike me as a doll kind of guy

I mean why else would you avoid making Harrison. He obviously has some stigma. That *******

avoid making ? They made three damn versions of him (ANH, Stomtrooper disguise and TFA).

They are available on the internet. You just need to spend the $.

While we are arguing about the ford/Howard love affair, this week is she hulk. She hulk before bespin han!!! I’m going to go light myself on fire.

I haven't seen She Hulk because it's one of those Marvel thingies. I have seen trailers and a couple scenes from the show and they were vomit inducing.
But everyone seems to love this superhero stuff and I assume the ocean of Marvel figures HT produce makes them bags of money.

I'd love a Bespin Han. Or an Endor Han. Someone posted somewhere on this forum how many Luke, Han and Leia figures HT have produced and Han was quite comfortably in last place.

In terms of next Star Wars figure from HT?

I'm becoming very cynical about collecting Star Wars Hot Toys. I reckon it'll be another trooper re-release or a trooper repaint.

 

[sithocan]

I'll jump on a Snowtrooper.
Please Djarin, go to a snow planet.

I wouldnt mind trooper repaints if they used all that quick easy money to produce figures everyone else is waiting for. Like why can't 5 clone trooper or Death or Shore troopers pay for the effort to do some OT droid or DeathStar trooper that isn't as sexy to the common collector?

 

[Ramatuelle]

Theres a SS Ventress on feeBay rn. And its superduper tempting.

Idk, Mandalore is pretty cold.... Quite.

Yeah I'm with you there. In theory that should be an upside to their cheaper to produce trooper repaints or very slight variation troopers. Profits can go into more complicated figs, or more niche figures.
Makes more business sense to produce more Marvel stuff. More Spiderman dolls.
I guess they are making some droids from BoBF I think aren't they?
More background Imperials would be great, like Deathstar Trooper.
I'd love some Rebels too. Endor Commandos, Pathfinders from Rogue One etc.
I assume the issue is partly down to faces, they don't want to create generic faces or something.
There are named Rebels and Rebel pilots they could use the likeness for but that's just not going to happen. Top niche, HT probably don't think they'd sell etc.
Andor has introduced a lot of cool characters but I'm not going to hold my breath for much more than Andor himself.

I know clones are popular, and I quite like them too, but I'll be sticking to the more unique clones, like Cody, Rex, Jesse, the Bad Batch guys etc.
I don't need all the 501st clones they've been putting up for order.

As someone above posted, Sithocan, a Snowtrooper re-release would be welcome.
