True that they would be easy cash ins for Sideshow as they'll have a lot of the parts made with the Red 5 Luke, but I wonder if either Wedge or Biggs would sell well enough to warrant being made.
If they won't make Tarkin -- a uniform they have had for years since Praji -- then you can kiss Biggs, Wedge and the like goodbye.
If Tarkin is in Rogue One... I can see him being made.
Never understood the reason why some want him though... I would probably pass him up.

I dunno Tarkin was a pretty integral part of A New Hope and close to as important as Vader really. He's not the most exciting character but I'd definitely pick him up if he was made available.
I didn't even know Praji was made. Pretty obscure character to make a figure of. I could see if they had done Tarkin first and re-used the outfit to make Praji but odd they only did him. I don't know that I'd necessarily buy Wedge or Biggs anyways. They're cool background characters but not really needed in 1/6th form.
You would go for Mon Mothma over Tarkin?
I would probably have to pass on Tarkin too though. I'm already about out of shelf space and Hot Toys is just getting started.
I know, right?I would get Tarkin if they made some Imperial Officer Grunts or a Death Star Trooper, just some figures to pose him with.
It is why I would grab a Mothma. Mothma, Ackbar, General Lando, and a few Fleet Troopers would make for a pretty sweet "Other Rebel Heroes" shelf.... of course assuming Ackbar is made and I grab SSC versions of the other two...
Vader and Leia, and then you just need a leash for Vader and a tiny video screen that plays Alderaan being blown up over and over.
Back in the days of $50-$70 figures, there was the fun of totally not knowing what the heck Sideshow would make. Anything was possible... hence Praji....
As the price tag raised, the choice margin narrowed.
Now we're down to clones and repeat characters in alternate outfits for the most part... once in a while we get Jawas.

easy fix
GET MORE SHELVES
It's a little more complicated, first step is a new place as currently my one detolf is in our dining room/office.easy fix

Then with the new place, if I'm not careful, it might be shelves galore. But Tarkin wouldn't be around until then anyway. So maybe I can un-pre-cancel.

You got a table in that dining room?
Perfect table for displaying Hot Toys I bet.

There are two places not used most nights. Could definitely have a couple sixth scale figures join us for dinner each night.

That is sacrilege! its freaking Peter Cushing. He CANNOT be in Rogue One, we do not want a recast. And actor aside, It was Tarkin's pet project for the Death Star, he was literally in charge of Vader and was vile enough to blow up Alderan just with a snap of his fingers. At the time of ANH, Tarkin WAS the Empire and Vader his "hokey religion lackey". To me he is a crucial piece of the first film and therefore the entire trilogy/history.
You know, re-watching it recently it bothers me that supposedly the Jedi were hunted down and all that because it seemed like Obi Wan just wandered around with his Jedi robes and light saber and no one gave a crap and then when he showed up on the Death Star, Vader is just kind of distracted, "Something I have not felt since..." Since what? since that Mother$3%er cut your legs and arm off and left you in a molten pool of lava?.... no must have been something else.
Tarkin is the only villain to completely blow a entire planet out of the sky.
On a scale of evildoers... that has to be an 11.

Tarkin is my main want now that we have most of the original Cast from Star Wars. He's long long overdue.
