1/6 Speculation: Star Wars Episode IX Figures

[sithocan]

SW has to wait. Collection community is craving for figures like Punk Spider-Man.

I’m trying to recall what they did 2 years ago. Did they show all the Episode VIII figures together on display before they started putting them up for pre-order, or did they just randomly drop? I seem to recall seeing a picture someone put up on here at the time (I was a long time lurker before I signed up haha).

I don't think they did. They did for TFA and R1 but that's it. We did see the entire lineup for SOLO at some cons.

Found the pic. Judging from Luke still having the TFA placeholder head, then this pre-dates December 2017. So, I suppose that gives us some hope we might see a ROTS line-up pic around October. Actually we did quite well out of that lot, bar Poe. If they'd released Phasma she'd probably have ended up being sold online at a heavily discounted price by now.

I remember for E7, R1 and E8, there was at least 1 figure, a trooper, available for sale before the movie launched. That can be an indication on how deep they want to dive into this line.

Rey, Kylo Ren, the Praetorian guards, executioner trooper, and BB-8 and BB-9E were released for preorder prior to TLJ. Leia and both versions of Luke came after.

For TROS here's my prediction:

Before: Rey, Kylo Ren, Red Stormtrooper, possibly one or two of Knights of Ren.

After: Luke, BB-8 & Dio, Poe, Finn, possibly more Knights of Ren, possibly Leia, possibly Zorii, possibly Jannah.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Yes, I mean available for sale as in you can have it in hand before the movie. E8 was the Excutioner. I hope E9 will be the red stormtrooper.

Poe in flight gear, please just give me him and I'm done !

Just make it a bit dirtier than that though Hot Toys !

Lots of books announced today.. cover art for Concept book here

 

[Hoody999]

Nice. I've got every "Art of" book for all the latest Star Wars movies. Love them !

Hope they do one for the Mandalorian too. That would be really nice. No doubt they'll have a decent amount of concept art for it too.

Rey's look in this movie so far looks almost too much like Force Awakens. If the figure ends up being that similar, I may go ahead and get that Last Jedi version. Ditto for Kylo Ren

No reveal for May 4th? It's been a slow week...

My wallet thanks them...

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Seems like there is also the FO rocket trooper as well.

 

[Smash]

We won't see anything until July most likely. Maybe a few reveals during SDCC like last year

 

[phobicsquirrel]

Yep considering Star Wars movies track record of late HT will be once bitten twice shy on figures until they really know if it's a hit.....or not.

Did TLJ not sell that well? I know TFA had issues, except kylo. SW figures lately don't seem to be doing well so maybe it's because people aren't into the new films that much. After the bad ROTJ Lukes, I'm hoping for a better luke figure to come out of ep9. Sadly though, I think if there is he'll be older Luke which I wasn't that impressed by in TLJ.

You're opening up a can of worms there

I'd go for the HT ROTJ Luke. He is the pick of the bunch at the moment. I was a bit hesitant to begin with, but he has grown on me a lot.

Or wait until they do a new Luke from ESB, that's just a matter of time I'd say. Especially given the large gap between next movies, HT will hopefully look more to the OT cash cow in the next few years.

Play nice everyone.

 

[user 67922]

Definitely waiting for the Sith Rey (vision sequence or whatever) rather than committing to the standard version. No Knights of Ren shown, disappointing.

What does the Emperor say @1:40 with dark screen ?

Sounds like "Yes it's in...."

That must be the bit where he takes possession of Kylo through an unknown orifice.
