NEXT Star Wars 1/6th Figure...

[obi_dave_kenobi]

I was hoping to see and ESB or ROTJ versions of Vader pretty soon. Most of the tooling is already done just needs minor changes to the helmet and armor.

That's what I want. I know this comment will be hated by many but can we please put a hold on the cantina and jabba's palace aliens and any other non important member of the Star Wars saga that were just standing around in the back or front, or had a very very tiny roll and make another VADER!!!!!!!!!!! I know there are many who would die to order an Ice Cream maker guy but come on, give us another Vader, Boba, or Imperial trooper of some sort.

Unless its the imperial officer who has the best line in all of the Saga:
"You rebelscum!"

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, I'd like to get another Vader ordered as well as Fett. OT wise it will be armored troopers for the most part I'll be getting.

 

[Anzik]

TPM Obi Wan to go with the 1/2 Maul figure.

I would love another Vader too. But honestly I think it's too early. I think I read on the ANH Vader post that a ROTJ Vader will be out sometime in 2012.

2012 isn't that far off so that's not bad. I can wait, I guess, I mean, I really don't have a choice.

waiting....

I missed that info about an ROTJ Vader. Ideally that's the version I want. It would be great to have him standing beside the emperor in his chair.

Let's put it this way:
They announce in 2012 they are working on a TESB/ROTJ Vader
In 2013 we get a production peek
in 2014 we can Pre-order him
And in 2015 we get the figure in hand

After the world explodes, the poles shift, an asteroid hits, and the Mayan death gods enslave us all.

No Chewbacca I get, if it's the case that both approaches - 'real' hair vs sculpting - present huge challenges. But why no Tusken Raider? Why no Jawa? Why no droids? Why no Boba Fett? Maybe I'd have to be a SS SW fanboy to get it, but I just don't get it.

Lately, because they made a lot of clones.

The original business model was based around the Buck body, and their focus was dependent upon hominid armitures. They're evolving towards unique bodies like Hammerhead and Yoda, so droids are coming, but on account of the fact that they've redirected resources to polystone over the last 5 years, the process towards droids has been slow.

As for Tuskens, who knows. They just haven't yet (again with the clones).

 

[Lejuan]

Ah, sense this makes. But bummer it is.

That's a bit optimistic, don't ya think?

Well a man can have dreams can't he?

 

[The Josh]

I would think before the end of the year we hear something on the next Vader.

Maybe. But if they're skipping ESB all together and shooting straight for a ROTJ version, an announcement next year for a release coinciding with the 2013 30th makes more sense.

 

[jedibear]

They haven't hit an Anniversary year for anything yet regarding announcements...this will be no different.

Well they did the Yavin Luke with the 30th Star Wars Ann...

I guess all that Hot Toys Star Wars rumour talk is gone by the wayside so yeah?
