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

[HyperDrive]

But yes, this is the dream RO display for me.

 

[darth dennis]

I think I'd prefer this.

I don't have an "Andor" display. But I do have a RO display.

Again, that blue parka is a good look. Not a lot of blue on the Star Wars shelf.

I think that's the Parka Han wore in ESB on Hoth, right?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I heard Gareth picked the blue parka for Cassian to show his support for Han's blue parka in ESB.

 

[HyperDrive]

I don't care as I sold all my Rogue One figures when they refused to finish the set with Baze... BUT, I'd say it's possible that we've not seen the RO look on Cassian as it'd spoil something at the end of Andor. I hope that folks do get a proper RO Cassian as I thought that was a great movie and I was bored to tears by Andor S1...

You’d need Bodhi too, imo.

And I still care cause that’s the specific look I’d ideally want to pair with my Jyn figure. Which if they were to do a RO Cassian (blue parka or not) I’d probably upgrade it with the 357partment repaint and root job by TeTsu.

And I actually liked Andor Season 1 episode 6 (aside from a few gripes) and the finale, but otherwise, didn’t care for the show as much as others do.

 

[HyperDrive]

This is besides the point as well. Not sure why you’re asking. But I get it, moving the goalposts I see.

Totally with you there Dennis. I kept my Rogue 1 line because I loved that movie more than even OG Star Wars. Just more grown up for us grown up kids.

Put me in the blue parka camp as well. That with the cool backpack thing he had. It'd all make a great deluxe.

 

[Mondragon]

Though the most utilitarian, look is his Jedha/Eadu parka and gear, as it should also contain, his basic Yavin Rebel Captains uniform underneath,
so it would be two complete looks in one. Three actaully if they want to throw in the sniper vest.

And fits best with the R1 crew, ...

The Rogue One makes the most sense to do imo, and it’s such a great look since the figure would essentially be a 3-in-1. Or 4 if you include his very last look where he’s just wearing the shirt. It’d be a fun figure with all the swap outs.

I really don’t get why most collectors don’t care for this look, especially considering there’s already an entire Rogue One line by Hot Toys that it could be a part of.

As well as the backpack, it would also include the unique break away sniper rifle he used.

I'd be happy with this if HT went all out and did all 3 in 1, it really is the most complete "deluxe" look.
Looks like what most want including Wor-Gar
Not sue what the debate is?

As far as what Gilroy said:

Gilroy: “Yeah, I mean, our final scene of the show is no secret; it’s going to be [Cassian] walking across the tarmac to get in the ship to go to the Rings of Kafrene ...”

Though as other indicate, the last three Eps lead into that scene.
So he may still revisit other R1 looks before that.

Gilroy told Empire that the final three episodes of the season will cover "the last three days before Rogue One," with the finale leading right into the events of the film.

@Mondragon

The “debate” has become muddied, it’s been misconstrued af. What was being proposed before is getting a figure that “kills 2 birds with one stone” as in a “Andor S2 finale look which also acts as a Rogue One based version. What Wor-Gar failed to understand is that this wouldn’t be possible considering the outfit he wants (which I also want), the Jedha City blue parka look, wouldn’t be what he’d wear at the end of Andor S2, given the outfit he wears at the very beginning of Rogue One is the other one that I showed. It’s further supported by the exact quote you just shared (thank you for that) where Gilroy explicitly states the final scene will be him boarding the ship that goes to the Ring of Kafrene which again, is where he’s at when we are introduced to the character in Rogue One.

This outfit……

That being said, all I was getting at is that a “hybrid” combo Andor/Rogue One figure isn’t going to work, in order to attain the Rogue One “hero” look (specifically the Jedha City blue parka look), so why even ask for that, a hybrid Andor show/Rogue One Cassian figure that kills 2 birds with one stone? Why entertain that idea? It’s not even possible. Why not instead just ask for a proper Rogue One Cassian figure? One where ideally you’d get the blue parka and the dark blue vest in addition to the tan brown jacket.

No idea why this wasn’t understood and it flew off the rails.

 

[pixletwin]

There is no debate. People are posting on topic what they want to see. You (Hyperdrive) for some reason feel the need to tell everybody why they’re right or why they’re wrong as if you’re on the committee that’s gonna decide what hot toys are going to release.

Drop it. Consider this a warning.

 

[jaztermareal]

I never ASKED for the RO opening look as a 2 birds, 1 stone figure, I said that it is LIKELY HT will do that look since it kills 2 birds with 1 stone (sort of like is vs ought, I am saying it IS likely, not that it OUGHT to be that look).

I also think the blue parka is the best look.

Even if HT were to do the Andor s2 end/RO opening look, there's nothing stopping them from adding the extra items to get the blue parka look if released as a deluxe. Solo movie Han had the alternate fur coat and goggles look, Jyn had the deluxe etc etc, it can be done, I just expect HT to put the least investment in the figure (mostly barebones) and cover 2 shows/movies with it (ring of Dafnee Kafrene look) as that would be the most coverage for the least investment on what they likely expect to be not a big seller, then they can re-use the head for the test pilot to spread the cost of the head development further while again doing 2 birds 1 stone routine by essentially making an imperial pilot for the army builders who don't care for Andor himself.

Basically, trying to think from a business perspective in my speculation.

I think you guys simply didn’t get the what I meant.

But alas.

I was just pointing out that the end of S2 Andor outfit wouldn’t be the same outfit as the main Rogue One look, which at that point, Idk why even ask for/want that. I’d rather keep it simple and hope Hot Toys makes a Cassian figure that’s based on Rogue One with the Rogue One branding and everything, a MMS release.

If Hot Toys makes a Andor show version from S2, most likely it’ll be the main S2 look (whichever that ends up being). Similar to how if they made him based on S1, it would’ve been the poster look, more likely than not. Idk, but imo, the “Ring of Kafrene” look isn’t as likely than the main S2 look. And yes, while they can always add a whole bunch of add-ons and jacket swap outs, my whole point/argument still stands… at that point, why? Why not just ask for a RO Cassian straight up?

 

[jaztermareal]

Is vs Ought. What is likely vs what ought to be are often different things.

Yeah, and I’m speculating just as much as the rest of y’all.

With the director’s comments, it seems like the “Ring of Kafrene” outfit/jacket will be the last look we see in Andor S2 which wouldn’t work for those (Wor, yourself, me, etc) whom want a regular Rogue One outfit with the blue parka and whatnot, which to my point, I think a lot of us in here want that Rogue One look so why not just ask for that? Why try to find ways to box it into this hypothetical scenario with a hybrid/combo figure that represents both end of S2 and Rogue One? Cough, Ring of Kafrene.

I’d also wager most people whom want a Andor show version would simply want the Andor look since that’s what most people have been clamoring for this whole time over even a Rogue One version.

I’m done lol

 

[jaztermareal]

HT work in mysterious ways.... they like to throw the occasional curve ball our way so there is hope, and rebellions are built on hope (TM)

 

[fantasticfrog]

This is hot toys and we know they love to milk sculpts and always give us the downgrade version first. So if we end up getting a cassian, I guess it would be from the series. Then they can wait a year and hit us for a rogue one specific version. This is technically a slow year for new Star Wars content so they might actually acknowledge season two and redo K2, krennic, and stormtroopers.
The only thing that makes me a little optimistic is that Galen Erso. It’s rogue one branded on the announcement, so may we hope for rogue one cassian or even baze. Or, monkeys might fly out of my butt.

Personally, I would never buy anything from a Disney plus series going forward again, so if it’s not rogue one cassian, I’ll pass.

 

[Mondragon]

Yeah I also said pretty much the same thing, seems a fair way to describe it.
Visually it'll have been the first, and is going to be the last look we see him portrayed in. So if we only get one, seems a pretty iconic take, I would be OK with that release. Apparently this notion is causing a melt down here.

Not sure what one look would be best to get?
Assuming (if any at all) it will be the Ring of Kafrene assassin look, which we know will bridge the gap between the last scene of the Andor series , and his first scene in R1.

Though like most, I'd prefer the (as described above) all-in-one deluxe look- The parka, which should also include the standard Yavin Rebel uniform underneath, which he might in fact wear in one of the 3 eps leading to the Andor S2 finally. (if it also includes the sniper vest even better.)
If so can also be described as bridging the gap, between the show and the film. (which for some reason seems to have caused some contention?)
Plus it would best fit among the R1 crew, for those who started or still want that collection. (need Baze and Bhodi too!)
Also S2 gives us another chance for Saw Guerera.

And while this has momentarily become the Andor/R1 wish list thread, hello - https://www.collectorfreaks.com/thr...-and-saw-gerrera.182365/page-90#post-11080997
I'd also be ok with his first meeting with Luthen look, trench coat, satchel, and the Bryar Pistol became an iconic visual part of the season. I believe the first look Hasbro put out.

With that. for some levity will put back:
Does this guy now officially have more looks than Amidala?
I look forward to the scene, yet if HT ends up doing his Count of MonteCristo look, I know everyone will be pissed.

That's just not who I imagined when I read the line "Rebel Spies" over 48 years ago.

This too gives me hope, if they fall back on older productions, When they were showing the Baze proto, was there ever a R1 Andor in production though? Don't remember seeing one. His droid was more popular than he was.
Also likely few even want this in the general thread, does HT even peruse these threads?

Why try to find ways to box it into this hypothetical scenario with a hybrid/combo figure that represents both end of S2 and Rogue One? Cough, Ring of Kafrene.

Never the intention, I'm just more comfortable discussing alternate versions.
I think it's funny how off the radar Andor was to the public, to the toy makers, nobody asked for or expected, he'd be the one to get his own show, especially because of how he was introduced. Likely why Gilroy chose him, instantly made him the most intresting.
To me he has become the face of the "Rebel Spies" in the opening crawl.

Bring back the R1 thread! - https://www.collectorfreaks.com/thr...-and-saw-gerrera.182365/page-90#post-11080997
Save the Dream!

 

[HyperDrive]

When people say they want an Andor version, most of them mean the main S1 look, the outfit in the posters.

Hell, some people would want a prison version as a second choice.

If they end up making a S2 version, I’d wager it’d be the main look from the season that people would be content with, like what Hot Toys did with Squid Games, and not some obscure/less desired look, like what Hot Toys did for Arcane.

For Rogue One, most people want that main look. And like I said before, when he’s wearing the blue parka, he’s actually wearing heavier-duty pants, so for screen-accuracy, perhaps Hot Toys wouldn’t even include it since you’d need the pants as well, thus needing another figure since those DX days are over with. Just how I see it. But I’d still want the blue parka even if they forego the pants.

In the end, people would be happy if they/we get a Cassian in the tan jacket get-up since that’s arguably the main look from the film.

No one has ever had the Ring of Kafrene look as a primary choice.

Season 1 finale is my favourite look.

I would be Ok with that look too, would also include the Bryar pistol, iconic kill me or take me in moment.

Andor is really the new Amidala of trench coat variations.
