Insufferable S.O.B.
Doubt they do, at least anytime soon.

I've got these two hairy armed guys on the way and an order placed for Cocoboloboy's stand. Looking forward to getting them but it appears that I now need a certain droid with a bad motivator as well...
I've got a discount code floating around in my SS wallet and I'm really tempted in taking the plunge on these. I really want a pair of Jawas in the collection and I don't see Hot Toys ever making them.
Even if Hot Toys is making them later, it don't automatically be more superior to this Sideshow ones. I think you have gotten an excellent pair and it will be good enough.
I know I'm late to the Jawa party but patience is a virtue as well as a money saving plan...
I used one of Sideshow's discount codes to cut down on the price of the two disgusting creatures, even though the high shipping cost cut into the discount...
First of all, I know that they need some drastic water treatment and futzing to get them to look good. I plan on working on them over the weekend.
Second of all, the bodies used are pathetic garbage. They are a pair of brown Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls. I couldn't get them to stand up straight in my hands. They would just flop down from their waists and knees, depending where they were being held. Ironically, the ankles are rather stiff and stayed in position. The flat figure peg bases included are a joke and are staying in the packaging.
Thankfully, I had also ordered Cocoboloboy's Jawa stand at the same time as the figures and it arrived today. It honestly saved me from returning the figures to SS. I have thousands of dollars in Sideshow products and have never contemplated returning anything until today. But Coco's base changed my mind, as it not only keeps the figures from falling on your shelf but actually elevates them on display. Truly a classy looking base and a must-have if you've got the Jawas.

I also picked up the Droid base and it makes R2 & 3PO look like miniature Premium Format figures. It is that nice.

Excellent pics and write up, Dubble F. I hate that about the Jawas. I hope you can grow to dig them even though the bodies are horrible. Maybe after futzing with them and getting them settled on the stand you won't be quite so disappointed. For me they're an eye catching set in my SW collection but I've always loved Jawas so I'm probably biased.
By the way, looks like one of the little guys decided to shed some fur right there on the stand.
Chances of HT Jawas, unless they're prominently shown in any of the Disney movies are... zero. HT are done with ANH you'd think.
