NEXT Star Wars 1/6th Figure...

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Yeah, I'd love to see HT give Qui-Gon a crack.

 

[SNIKT1950]

Really can't wait to see Jedi Luke. The original Sideshow figure was so great way back then, it was all we knew. I also hope they don't totally ignore the prequels, at least give us a Qui-Gon and ROTS Anakin and Obi-Wan.

I'd buy Qui-Gon and ROTS Obi-Wan, Anakin and Palpatine in a heartbeat.

An ROTS Dooku & Mace would be welcomed too.

SS Walrusman
HT ROTJ Luke

The whole Luke missing from the poster thing has me intrigued. I don't believe he'll have a lot of screen time, but when he shows up, or a outline shows up, or a lightsaber blade, or whatever, I think the place will go bananas. There has to be a Jedi Luke soon to capitalize on this. Has to be.

You can probably cross Fett and Vader off the list because regardless of what anyone else has done, HT isn't likely to soon release or announce second versions of characters they've already got coming out and haven't yet shipped. They're more likely if you really stretch out the list, but then it would require moving a lot of the more significant (as we currently assume) TFA figures forward. I'd also expect a BB-8 and later on a TFA 3-PO in any list approaching 20 figures.

Cross Fett and Vader off the list? Aren't they two of the best selling SW characters?

But maybe you're right -- I mean, it's not like Hot Toys ever gave us more than one version of Iron Man within 18 months...

Money on the table if you're ready.

So are you betting that within 18 months from TODAY, a 1/6 variation of Boba Fett and/or Darth Vader will NOT be announced by Hot Toys?

I will bet you $500 (or more if you want) that they WILL. We can do the whole thing via Paypal.

I have no problem with wish lists, but it always bugs me when someone purposefully tries to misquote and/or incorrectly re-interpret what someone else wrote.

What did I write at any point in time to even imply what you just wrote? I said (and I quote):

"You can probably cross Fett and Vader off the list because regardless of what anyone else has done, HT isn't likely to soon release or announce second versions of characters they've already got coming out and haven't yet shipped."

That doesn't mean they won't announce a new figure AFTER shipping the previous one, and likely selling out of, the current ones. You'd also do well to factor in the information already supplied by one or more people who have sources inside Disney.

As far as comparing Iron Man with Star Wars, I don't think any strategies will play out the same from a release perspective because not only is the source material so different (in-universe costuming variations), but so are the trends and habits of collectors.

BTW, there are only another 7 months and a week before the 18 months window closes on Vader. He was announced last November.

 

[DarthTrafford]

Zuckuss and 4-Lom are coming, and to me at least, they're way more insignificant than Walrusman - does anyone expect they'll be less than $200 each? Their saving grace is that you can display them along with Boba Fett, Bossk and IG-88. Maybe one day Dengar.

I can't wait for Zuckuss & 4LOM.
I don't care what the cost is.
I also hope Dengar is down the pipeline some day soon!

I'm not misquoting anything. I'm asking you a question.

DO YOU WANT TO BET that within 18 months from TODAY, a 1/6 variation of Boba Fett and/or Darth Vader will NOT be announced by Hot Toys?

I will bet you $500 (or more if you want) that they WILL. We can do the whole thing via Paypal.

I wrote my list of my guesses for upcoming releases, you said I should cross off Vader and Fett. You said it won't happen within the next 15 figures being announced. I'm saying it will.

 

[TonTon]

Is this a double bet? Within 18 months AND within the next 15 figures? Anyone gonna run side bets on this whole thing?

 

[LoveMinusZero]

Some seriously serious seriousness going down in this here thread.

 

[Creighton]

My guess is that HT will expand into ROTJ. We already have ROTJ Fett.
The likely candidates will be
1. Jedi Luke,
2. Palps
3. Royal Guard

After this, they will sway back into ESB so they don't step on SS toes. However, look for Bespin Han, Snow Trooper and Lando

There are only TWO left from ROTJ... and they are Emperor and Jedi Luke quite obviously.

Your Royal Guard fantasy is just that. A fantasy. A lie. A phantom. A ghost. A dream.

Of course, Jack Bauer says it may come true.

[Darth Zullo]

when do you guys think they'll reveal the last ROTJ figures?

For HT seems like Han Stormtrooper is next, since they showed a blurry picture of it.

Not sure if they would offer up a Jedi Luke when they don't want to cannibalize on Farmer Luke. Same potential issue with Bespin Han cannibalizing current Han Solo and/or Stormtrooper Han.

So my guess if The Emperor... or Yoda (with Dagobah Luke -- we already have Bespin Luke so this Luke would not compete).

Of course that's assuming they make The Emperor to go along with Jedi Luke. I'd prefer a Vader but they likely won't cannibalize on ANH Vader so quickly.

 

[IronPatriotFTW]

defiantly would love a Emperor ...


and if they do put out that Tie Fighter , ill take a AT-ST with Crushed Ewok please....

 

[El Guason 89]

As would I

With Hot Toys doing Star Wars Iron Man and repeats of Sideshow's past, Sideshow should be taking advantage of the opportunity to make interesting figures.

Hopefully they'll be able to figure out a way between the rocks and hard places.

i agree, but with the reviews and videos i saw of their Jango, they really need to make some actual effort. that was a figure i was heavily excited about for a long time and the promos looked amazing, then it turns out to be like that Turbo Man bootleg from Jingle All the Way lol
