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

[RandomHero]

Wasn't there a hint about upcoming Clone Troopers like Bly and Gree and the others...?

HT could have a field day with the 6 main ROTS Rainbow troopers...

They'd be foolish not to do them. Look at the excitement for Wolffe, Boost and Sinker. Clones are clearly something people aren't getting tired of. I thought an entire Bad Batch line would have simmered the demand for clones but it's definitely made people's desire for them greater.

They could announce Gree and Bly tomorrow, Howzer on May 4th, Waxer and Boil over the summer, Hardcase in the fall, Thorn around Christmas - and none of them would struggle to sell.

Normally I'd agree with you, but they're not touching the ST, they've kind of milked the PT/CW lately, they did everything they could from Ahsoka and Mando, and they seem to be allergic to the video games for whatever reason. The MCU cash cow has dried up and they can't artisan their way through everything. DC doesn't have enough coming up for them to turn to.

If they don't go deep on Andor, what from their "big three" do they really have outside of re-visiting the OT?

It's the ROTS 20th this year. There's plenty to do from that.

You would think.

I seriously hope they go all out.

I must say after seeing that 212th trailer I want a Cody 2.0.

 

[fantasticfrog]

I think 2.0 rolling eyes Cody is a given at some point. Easy double dip.
The only figures I have any real desire for are OT, specifically bespin Han and bespin escape leia. Maybe the Death Star trooper but I gave up on that years ago. Cassian, baze, bly, gree, are all figures I would have instantly bought 3 years ago. Now, it’s a maybe.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Cassian, Luthen, Krennic, ROTS Obi-Wan, Anakin and Dooku and I'll be happy with HT Star Wars this year.

 

[Chamberlian]

I would like more ROTS clones, but I fear we won’t get many of them because there are so many CW clones on PO right now.

 

[HyperDrive]

I personally hope they don’t do Cody 2.0 (want some new character designs dammit!) but they probably will. If Fives and Echo have the rolling eye treatment, Cody will probably get it too. I feel the same way about Yoda, Dooku, Qui-Gon… I’ve even seen people clamor for a ROTS Mace. Y’all, these have been made already, even if they’re AOTC branded, they also work for ROTS.

Only 2.0s I expect and I’m cool with it are Obi-Wan and Anakin (sculpted). They’re the mains.

With the TIE Fighter Pilot going up this week - anyone think that's going to open the door for more OT this year? Especially with Andor season 2 a month away?

I think we'll continue to get the random OT releases until next year and 27, where they'll be a major focus on the 50th anniversary (were old) for ANH, where it'll be filled with artisans and 2.0's. Even though some of those figures still sell well, some need a much needed update and will be an easy money maker for them.

We'll get hit hard with RoTS starting around Celebration, I think most of us assumed it'll be a heavy dose of RoTS once they get the ball running. I fear for us clone collectors.

I wouldn't be surprised at a figure or two from TFA too, probably just Rey or Kylo, but something to celebrate the 10 year anniversary.

 

[HyperDrive]

Not holding my breath but I hope they give us a whole lot of ROTS clones, especially the commanders, and if I were to choose 2 battalions, at least do the 212th and 41st Scout Battalion. They have the molds for the AT-RT and BARC speeder to make those 41st versions too as we see in Kashyyyk and Saleucami, respectively.

Didn't Howard say they were done with the sequels because they sold poorly? Pretty sure that was straight from the horse. I would be surprised if they do anything TFA related - especially with all of the uncertainty right now. But of course, I could be totally wrong.

It’s what they say. The TROS line sold poorly.

But I think there’s a market for a well made TFA Rey 2.0 with rolling eyes though, imo. That’d be the definitive Rey.

I passed on the AT-RT and the BARC, but if they were ROTS, I would have eagerly purchased them.

I would like:
212th
41st
327/Bly
Gree
Nero
501st

No you're right, but if it is something that Lucasfilm requests of them, it would probably be Rey or Kylo. Not saying a full line or anything, but there is a TFA 10th anniversary logo for merchandise. Probably something we'll see more with Lego and Hasbro though.

We wouldn't get more FO troopers or Hux or anything like that, but Kylo and to a lesser extent, Rey (and BB8), are really the only marketable characters from the ST.

 

[HyperDrive]

Bring it.

 

[meanstreak]

I'd take a new ANH Han and Chewie (both could be improved)
Of course Bespin Han... I'd take a Hoth one also.

I think we're good on Luke, but for Leia I'd like to see Boushh, Ewok Village and Yavin from the OT. If the next one is really Bespin Escape - I'd take it, but don't see how the Artisan would look good with the tight braids. I'd be better sculpted imo. From the sequels i'd take a flashback Jedi Training.
