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

[Warthog81]

I would like an Obi Wan from Ep1 and Ep2, guess will be waiting for years. I am looking forward to the Ep6 Han Solo, an Ep5 Han Solo would be really amazing along with an updated Ep4 Han. Would also like an Ep4 X-Wing pilot Luke and an Ep6 General Lando. We will also need an updated Ep3 Obi Wan and Anakin. Must not forget an updated Ep4 Farm boy Luke and Princess Leia.

Artisan ESB Yoda and artsian RotJ papa palps please.

I'm fine with a long hiatus for StarWars for the foreseeable couple of months ahead. Previously we've all witnessed Hot Toys went berserk with SW line up.

I'm sure the TPM 25th anniversary will come back strongly at some point within this year, just give it time.

Beside snowtrooper and royal guard, I want a 2.0 chewie. They could just make a 2.0 of everyone from OT with pers and improved likeness. Ep.4 Leia and Obiwan on inart level likeness will be majestic.
Now, what to do with 1.0 if those got announced one day. Should I just sell them now?

Def sell before the 2.0's get announced....

I just unloaded my ANH Luke, leia, Han & chewie. Obi wan is more difficult but I’m feeling the same - come 2027, my guess is we’ll see a whole bunch of insanely realistic updates to the series

 

[jaztermareal]

I would normally say keep OT stuff but I feel confident that HT will double dip with some 2.0's. Only a matter of time like you say, likely 2027

 

[slynger]

I’m sure some OT 2.0s are just around the corner. Will definitely grab an X-Wing Luke if that drops.

For now, I’ll settle for a CW Wolffe.

The HT ESB Vader appeared only 3-4 years after the HT ANH Han and Leia and that same old Vader is getting a pretty straight re-release as "ROTJ 40th Vader" late this year. Why do people think there will be new sculpts from HT for ANH 50th?

I'd love to think they would, especially for such a major anniversary, but the Snowspeeder Luke shipping with the same old Luke sculpt from 4-5 years earlier isn't all that encouraging.

They eventually did a new Luke sculpt but it always seemed like it was for Luke's slightly different vibe in Mando that they did that. I'd assume they'd maybe use that sculpt with ANH hair for a 50th farmboy which would be fine enough for most (I'd argue MH looks a bit different in ANH) but it'd be a similarly 4+ year old sculpt by then.

I will likely hang on to my OT figures, if new releases come then great and I will get them, might then turn the original ones into EU variants etc. If no/only some new releases come then I will still have the originals.

Yeah easy to do when HT is going soo deep on the D+ shows (can't believe they even did Reva's pale-skinned buddy) and the PT (AOTC seems to be on track for the largest number of figs of any SW property,) and for a surprisingly long time period.

Also, the anniversaries thing HT seems to run hot and cold on - both ESB and ROTJ were not exactly burgeoning with new figs in high numbers. More like rehashes (or looong-delayed figs like 3PO) in low numbers. You'd hope that ANH 50th would be a big deal but knowing HT it'll be wave three of Acolyte figs that hogs the spotlight in 2027.

But even the idea that newer means better can have a question mark - the recent Lando sculpt was very meh, the new Luke Bespin boots were a big step down over DX07, the ROTJ 3PO face has a few sculpt issues and the ROTJ Han sculpt (aka "just out of the shower Han") is a little funky looking. And many still prefer the oldest Leia sculpt - ANH - over the newer ESB/ROTJ sculpts.

I think that what I call George Lucas Star Wars is most likely to sell best. I prefer OT myself though I do have a thing for PT Jedi.
As you say new does not always mean better.
When I look at my collection there are certain figures missing, X-Wing Pilot Luke, Bespin Han and General Lando especially come to mind along with OT Imperials Officers such as Piett, Veers and Jerjerrod. I often wonder if we will ever get them. Meanwhile though here are a load of figures from the garbage new Disney shows!

 

[Damien]

I wonder if Howard is watching the new show

 

[greymask]

Ideally, we should sell when 2.0 is imminent. But I can't stand of not having A new hope figure, I just love that movie too much, more than ESB.

I wonder if anyone is watching the new show

 

[greymask]

As bad as the series turned out, I think Howard will consider to make at least Sol and maybe the sith. He loves to made a figure from something dumb.
Andor? Logan? Something with well written script? Nah, he hate that s***. I mean, every fans of MCU want she-hulk hot toys or SW fans want marrok, reva?

 

[fantasticfrog]

A little surprised with the destroyer droid. Hopefully padawan kenobi is next. Hot toys thinking outside the fett, iron man, Batman, spidey safe zone. Dark empire luke, sidious, kit fisto, now this…. Expensive days ahead.

I have rewards screaming for Grievous... but he won't appear until I use them!

Probably the very next day too, if your luck is like mine lol...

Where’s the Battle Droid TPM speculation thread?
