1/6 Speculation: Star Wars Episode IX Figures

[KerotanFrog]

I'm hoping for Dark Rey. I'll buy a Jet Trooper but I don't mind if they skip it. Buying only because I got all the other FO troopers.

Oh yeah i forgot about Dark Rey! You know HT will milk the headsculpt haha. I hope it has some actual relevance in the film. But not getting my hopes up.

First off I just want Poe. Reylo is obvious.

The main trio of Rey, Finn and Poe are all I really want. Not interested in going too deep at the moment.

I'd like to see a figure of Jannah just because the black series figure is anazing for its scale. Her hair would be cool in 1/6.

Yep, but X-Wing pilot Poe ! If they don't do him I don't know what I'll decide to do. Surely they won't do Nathan Drake adventurer Poe when they already had the proto of pilot Poe out and ready.

I'd say exactly because of the hair they won't do her. Would be difficult I think.

The catch there is I don't want that sculpt it never looked good enough. I'd be fine with Uncharted Poe.

You could also make a "Disney Story Person".

I’m wondering if we might finally get a 3PO. I’ve heard that his part in The Rise of Skywalker is pretty big. Only thing is even if he gets made I’d probably prefer an Original Trilogy version.

 

[davejames]

I think the best option would be a Deluxe version with red and gold arms, silver and gold legs, etc, so you could recreate his look from any of the movies.

Surprised we haven't seen a Kylo or Rey yet. What gives

Maybe. The red arm was so pointless and barely saw any screen time. I honestly don’t even know why they bothered with it. I’d sort of hope for a more weathered 3PO versus the pristine looking gold.

I think figures with head sculpts don’t go on PO until the movie is out.

We got Rey and Kylo reveals in October for TLJ. But yeah, it seems as though they're changing things up for TROS.

I think a lot of the hype has died off truthfully. People can say differently, but there’s no question in my mind that for being only a month away there’s not a lot of buzz for The Rise of Skywalker.

I suspect they'll go for the same slightly weathered look from ANH that R2 had. And I agree the red arm was fairly pointless, but it would still be a nice extra option to have and something I might display at least briefly.

I can sense a lot more hype for it now after the new trailer, but it was definitely pretty dead there for awhile, so I can understand why HT felt the need to hold off.

There’s some hype but I don’t feel like it’s quite at the level it should be considering this is the final film in the Sequel Trilogy and the culmination of the Skywalker Saga. I feel like there was a lot more hype for Episodes VII and VIII. I think a lot of it comes down to there’s so many event films now days that they aren’t as special anymore. Star Wars used to be a big deal but now it’s just another flavor of the month type film series.

I'm not feeling any hype at all for TROS....zero. At first glance Disney have potentially shot themselves in the foot here by having the Mandalorian right in front of TROS.

Clearly the marketing is focused on The Mandalorian now. But no doubt they are waiting for it to release, then quickly ramp up the TROS marketing machine.

But what I really think is going on here is that people will be excited by The Mandalorian and then be hyped for Star Wars, forget TLJ, and go see TROS.

I think that is Disney's gameplan, which isn't a bad strategy.

No doubt this is what they will do in the future too. Disney plans to use the larger TV audience (and presumably newly created Star Wars fans) to go see the movies leading to more box-office.

It's pretty smart I think. Assuming The Mandalorian is good. There's a lot riding on it.

There is a lot of buzz around me, marketing is high, the use of bill boards, advertising on the side of buses etc, even merchandising in and around my local cinemas. I booked the triple bill at my local Cineworld with 5 fiends as soon as the tickets went live and the triple bill showing was sold out in 40/50 minutes along with 3 other midnight showings of just episode 9 by itself.

On the Mandalorian, I can only fathom that The Mandalorian may....have a tie in, or some important information leading up for Episode 9. Wasn?t there news recently that the first episode would have an ?important spoiler? for the Star Wars lore?
