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.
I love you man but have to disagree.

I can totally see HT offering the Royal Guard as single or 2 pack with some type of throne room diorama that will inevitably "link up" to the HT Emperor and throne.
After that, they will open the door for another Vader. (ROTJ reveal) to complete the circle of your credit card balance.

They are giving us the falcon cockpit..The throne room window/elevator passageway is a drop in the bucket.
 
I can see the Royal Guards being made eventually but not right away. The obvious three from Return of the Jedi are Jedi Knight Luke, The Emperor, and Boba Fett. I forget how many are supposed to be coming this year still before the new film hits?
 
Royal Guard would be very cool.
Kinda surprised neither SS or HT has made a Lando.

As far as ROTJ figures go I am hoping Luke comes with all accessories to accommodate every look he had in ROTJ. That's a lot of accessories I know, but because the base costume is the same throughout the whole movie breaking these looks up into separate figure's isn't warranted. The figure should come with the basic black top and pants and belt he wore during the duel at the end, and over that can be put other pieces to make him appear as he did in other parts of the film. The brown cloak and bluish/gray/black tunic he wore in the beginning should be included, along with the helmet and poncho he wore on Endor. These are all add ons to the basic costume underneath. A LED Saber is also a must; keeping in step with the rest of the HT line. Of course he should come with a variety of hands including gloved and ungloved right hand. A battle damaged right hand can be included as the exclusive. With all these accessories a figure like this might rightly be priced more than other figures, but I'd gladly pay more for a "deluxe" set like this than having to buy multiple versions of the same character unnecessarily.

A number of other ROTJ releases could be built around this. The Emperor of course and any number of versions of the heroes throughout the film. But I personally would love to see a Leia in Endor gear.
 
MYC is making a 1/4 Royal Guard, maybe it's possible to get a 1/6 version too. We got 1/6 versions of his (their?) Jawa robes at least. You never know.

Two from Empire and three from Jedi.
 
Since SSC seems to be on an ESB run, maybe we'll see the Snowtrooper Commander next. A re-release or slight revamp of the Snowtrooper would be lucrative for them as well. Perhaps we'll see the rest of the bounty hunters as they've teased. I'd also like them to tackle the various Rebel pilot variants, so long as they have more accessories than Luke or are priced better.

Hot Toys will likely give us Han in Stormtrooper disguise next. If they want to round out the main ANH cast before moving on, a Grand Moff Tarkin would be great. If not, then maybe Yoda to kick off ESB. Would love to see Hoth Leia personally.
 
Hmmm, well I'd certainly be down for an ESB Han with Carbonite block. Jack Bauer's also advised a Degobah Luke is in the works, but not sure if that is part of the two or if that's intended for later. I sold my two Snowtroopers, so would be happy if that was one of the releases, too.
 
Next ESB figure releases: Dengar, 4-Lom, Zuckuss.

A Han just came out... two Lukes. And we are still waiting for Han Stormtrooper.

Keep it real. #scumandvillainy
 
Well, 4-LOM and Zuckuss are confirmed but are SSC releases. We're talking specifically about HT, at the moment. Rumour was that there would be two HT ESB pre-orders that would hit before TFA premieres.

Good point, sorry I tripped through my thoughts. So we can also think about how HT and SSC don't want to jump each other's band wagon too much either, as we have to be sure that they are some how mapping out their releases to not overlap each other. But all things considered between the two, adding in ESB, we now have had Farmboy, Pilot, Hoth, and Stormy Luke, and Hoth, ANH, and hopefuly a Stormy Han on the horizon. They are the money makers so it makes sense but are we really going to see more Luke and Han before we get to finish the Bounty Hunters? Man I feel like it's been forever since S&V started.

I just hope that smirking Han face we got to see gets released with the Stormy Han
