1/6 Speculation: Star Wars Episode IX Figures

[davejames]

For me the most important thing Abrams needs to do is just make Rey that dynamic and lovable character from TFA again. I largely enjoyed TLJ, but my one real complaint was how she was almost completely overshadowed by Luke the entire movie, and didn't get to shine in the same way as before.

Hopefully this movie doesn't get so huge and epic that it takes the focus off of her again.

We might finally get Poe.

That was the fault of how Luke was written more than anything. If he hadn?t been so polarizing to fans that the focus didn?t land so much on him and why he?s the way he is rather than closer to what most expected that wouldn?t have been an issue.

He could have been the wise Jedi master helping Rey and that would have placed a more balanced focus in them both.

 

[davejames]

Well I had no problem with the way Luke was written, so that wasn't the issue for me. And if he was this noble, heroic Jedi Master charging into battle with her like fans wanted, then he likely would have overshadowed her even more. So I don't think there was any getting around that.

I loved grumpy Luke. Although I was never convinced as to why he trains Rey anyway. R2 playing the Leia message seems like the direct reason why he went into hiding in the first place.

As for Rey, the last thing I want to be is grouped with people that call her Mary Sue, but it would be nice if she had some inherent flaws. Like besides her family lineage (which doesn't matter anyway), she sees her problems vicariously through other people like Kylo's inner turmoil and Finn's indecisiveness.

Like Luke's adamant desire to save his friends in ESB with an almost cocksure attitude (you'll find I'm full of surprises!), only to be humbled by Vader in the most extreme way possible.

Ever since captain Phasma, I'm not buying any Star Wars figures until I watch the movie!

Maybe Palps will have the correct yellow eyes this time?

Why? Seems a pretty good way to describe her complete lack of character development so far.

Eh, it's a conversation that burnt out a long time ago. Is more so that I'd rather not add to the toxicity around the subject than me disagreeing with you.

Yes, I think Poe was ready for E8 but with the response he got delayed. No better time than to put him up for PO on Triple Force Friday.

Just please with cool flight suit !

Flight suit Poe is the only way to go. Not interested in any other versions.

It just seems that you want to take the same side and agree with me without actually sharing the same label.

I dont even get what is toxic about it. She was a badly written character in a movie. That's it. Doesn't have any real impact on anything.

I'm seeing a whole lot of Uncharted/Mummy-Rick Poe outfit, no Poe in flightsuit outfit. I have no interest in a Poe in that Mummy outfit, looks pretty un-Starwarsy.

If HT had a full proto in X-Wing flightsuit ready to go with appropriate headsculpt and now release an Uncharted look Poe I will be really disappointed.

The only hope is that I think someone said JJ tends to show footage from early in the movie in his trailers. No give aways. So perhaps there's a chance Poe will still be in an X-Wing at some point. It is his claim to fame, best pilot in the galaxy. So surely they put him in one for the battle against those Star Destroyers perhaps ?

New artwork was shown. Sith Jet Trooper and Knights of Ren are on it. Also the Snowtrooper commander? (Snowtrooper with a cape). FO only.

 

[davejames]

Yeah that new Snowtrooper does look pretty darn cool. Unfortunately I don't see HT releasing another one of those.

 

[Hoody999]

Nice that the Rogue Ko Ren is more or less front and centre. He's the one I want most followed by the other one directly behind him.

Go Hot Toys go !!

My guess is we get a C-3PO since he they can label him as a Rise of Skywalker figure and they know it will sell. I also bet we see an old Lando. I think these two are the safest bets considering the sequel trilogy figures that are not the older versions of OTC characters don't seem to sell well.

 

[heon123]

Looks like they put Krennic's raincoat on the Snowtrooper. I really do suspect FO figures will steep a little higher after TROS comes out.
