Thats just silly......

Yeah, that's not legit for sure - I for one think it's unlikely we'll see the Rose-Finn/Poe-Finn set-up going that way. It's not the guy-guy aspect, it's just Rose doesn't seem like she'd do okay being alone at the end of the trilogy and they can't do that to her.

For the sake of selling toys, I think Luke's look will be changed. It can be the same outfit but different beard?

Yeah, I'm seeing a blonde beard for Luke ghost. HT can reissue the figs, everyone's happy.

Back to figures. I think sure bets of getting released would be Luke, Kylo, Rey and Red Trooper. Maybes would be Poe, Chewie.

Gotta still be a Poe in flight gear made !!!

The Rose/Finn/Poe plotline ends with Finn and Poe moving in for a kiss only to be blindsided and killed at the last moment by a speeder driven by Rose in a jealous rage. I'm pretty sure she yells Nooooooooo while plowing through them too.

She'll do it for love... dummy.

From what the leaks have been saying, Rose's role has been reduced a good bit. More to Lando size in ROTJ. Regardless of what you think of her, I think that will be better to focus on the main characters more.

I am curious how Luke will look. I imagine something close to the TFA robes but cleaner/more refined. Probably a haircut/beard closer in length to the projection. Rey and Kylo's costumes actually look much better to me after seeing a couple more pics. If the Rey sculpt is good, I can imagine some hair bun customs/transplants onto the TFA outfit.

This was the supposed leaked onset image for how "Luke" looks as a force ghost mentor for Rey. With the recasting looks like no more Hamill comments to deal with, and explains why Luke wasn't in the leaked Episode IX poster.

Also looks like they are thumbing their nose at the TLJ backlash in a pretty overt way.

I would actually like a translucent force ghost Luke. Would be interesting if HT could pull it off well.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

They might do that with some blue/UV lighted based or something.

Yeah I imagine that would have happened regardless of how she was received, since JJ would probably want to focus much more on the central characters for this last movie. And she was only there to give Finn someone to interact with in the absence of Rey, so that will clearly no longer be an issue.

The hood on Rey's costume looks sick. Will 100% buy her figure. If Kylo's comes with helmet + unmasked sculpt I'll grab his too.

Yeah Kylo always looked better with the mask.

I just hope Poe still has some time in an X-Wing. I really want that version as a Hot Toy as he's the pilot. Not the Unchartered version.

Problem with Rey's costume is it will require seamless arms, which Hot Toys has questionable experience with. For that reason I'll likely stick with the TFA version, but it does look great. Hope that head comes out well as it looks close enough to the TFA style that I could replace that one.

Very true unfortunately. I hope SSC makes a PF of her in this costume.

 

[DarkChocobi]

Probably Rey with new "Jedi" outfit, Kylo with glued broken duck mask, and Poe in Nathan Drake's outfit.

Old Lando is an easy pass in that ”trying too hard to look like ‘Solo’ Lando” yellow outfit.

True, didn't think about that. Haven't they been doing a good amount of seamless arms for Thor/Thanos/etc? How have those been holding up?

 

[kalzeth]

Poe is the only one I know I would get. The others are wait and see at this point as I don’t know enough about the new characters.

Oh yeah, hadn't noticed that she's got some shorter arm wraps this time. And this is one character where you really need to bend the arms to create dynamic poses. Fortunately I already have a spare TLJ body so if they give us seamless arms I can simply switch them out when need be. Although it would be nice if HT included them as well.

Yeah don’t understand why they reused the SOLO design. I’d been happy seeing a new mix of Bespin and Rebel General outfit on old Lando

Exactly.
