NEXT Star Wars 1/6th Figure...

Would have hoped HT would've finished up with the "main" TFA heroes (Poe, Han, even Leia) before moving on to BvS variants. Disappointing

Agreed.

It's been talked about. I know some at LFL were really pushing for it. But for whatever reason Hasbro has balked on it (so far). I agree that is foolish. They make some really frankly bizarre decisions sometimes.

The last I heard was that since Hasbro wasn't so bullish on the idea of bringing back Vintage packaging with TFA figures that someone floated the idea of making them an Exclusive to specific retailer (like the 3.75" Black Series are Exclusive to Walmart). Shortly after I'd heard that I saw rumor on some collecting site that Toys R Us would supposedly be carrying a new line of "Vintage" figures, but then Hasbro publicly denied it. So I have no idea what's going on with that. It seems to be entirely up to Hasbro, and they've clearly been dropping the ball, so who knows.

On the plus side, there are some cool customs out there, like these 2 that I nabbed from some dude on Facebook:

Those are awesome. That guy doesn't sell on ebay?

I thought these two guys had a really cool look and overall vibe in the film. I'd love to see Hot Toys take a crack at them.

Yes, I agree.
I guess I shouldn't be a smart *** when it comes to the Drax figure....
But man, I need my new star wars fix!I need Poe, Han, Leia and Luke Legacy characters.
Someone in the know needs to give us a heads up.

The guy in the red mask looks awesome

TFA hype is finally starting to die down. Can't blame HT for beginning their BvS & Civil War lines long before wrapping up the TFA line.

I have the Ithano funko and will be picking up the 3 3/4" when I find it. Would be cool to see him down the line in a few years. I think SSC could do him justice even.

Yeah... but Life-Size Batman Armor...?

Maybe as suggested, Star Wars still just isn't the next big thing in China like it is here. Maybe the TFA wad is mostly blown.

What's really weird is that everyone predicted TFA would make $2B worldwide and it's going to end it's run with pretty much exactly $2B.

But worldwide it didn't beat "Titanic" from 20 years ago - shows you just how popular that movie was to beat TFA and the return of SW hysteria (even domestically, adjusted for inflation, "Titanic" made almost $300 million more in the U.S. than TFA.)

Incidentally, TFA only just passed ESB in terms of inflation adjusted domestic gross. It is a hard comparison to make though, because of the premium pricing of 3D, IMAX and special (multi film) screenings in TFA's favor (though yeah, ESB got a bit of bump from rereleases, though nothing close to ANH.) My guess is ESB actually got more butts in seats than TFA did, which given how less "connected" and entertainment-saturated the world was in 1980, that's quite an achievement.

HT should have finished putting out their TFA line before the hype died down

 

[badgeantilles]

Wedge, Biggs and porkins.

Death Squad Commander! For those of us that are still looking to collect the original 12

Hopefully they start unveiling what's left before the hundred Civil War figures they're bound to make drown everything else out for the rest of the year.

There's still a bit to go:

Definitely

-Poe Dameron (X-Wing Fighter Pilot)
-Han Solo
-Chewbacca
-Han & Chewbacca Set
-General Leia Organa
-General Hux
-Maz Kanata

And Hopefully

-Luke Skywalker
-Kylo 2.0 (unmasked, no shawl, melted Vader helmet)
-Rey (End Scenes)
-FN-2187 (blood-stained helmet)
-Poe Dameron (Flight Jacket from Star Destroyer Escape)
-Threepio and Artoo set

 

[IarnaOrgana]

-FN-2187 (blood-stained helmet)
-Poe Dameron (Flight Jacket from Star Destroyer Escape)

These two are my most wanted. Maybe convention exclusives?

Now that Ep VIII has been pushed back, I assume Hot Toys will milk the wait. Hopefully that means we'll see all the definitely's and hopefully's put out at some point.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'd say Poe and handprint Finntrooper are about all that are "guaranteed" soon.

Ever since "Han" disappeared from the Sideshow dropdown menu, seems like maybe something happened there -- maybe old Han just didn't get approved for large 1/6th life. Of course, "Hux" is still listed, which seems even more unlikely to me.

But I'm sure over the next TWO YEARS Hot Toys will milk TFA for all its worth... so many of those will eventually see the light of day. Maybe not before the BvS and Civil War madness... which is unfortunate.

If there wasn't the waiting game it wouldn't be Hot Toys Still crossing my fingers for a SW reveal next week, though.

Yeah, worried about that because they seem to have moved on from TFA and are back into making and announcing 70,000 versions of the same god damned Superhero characters.

Got Batman AND Marvel in the way now too. That's going to suck a lot of air out of our Star Wars announcements.
