1/6 Speculation: Star Wars Episode IX Figures

[Hoody999]

Highly doubt that we’ll see the Knights of Ren characters made. If Hot Toys didn’t do the Black Order characters, which are from films that had more momentum going for them than Episode IX has I just can’t see them realistically happening.

Yes, that thought crossed my mind as well. We didn't even get one Black Order !!

Only positive thing here is perhaps that they are the most interesting characters ?? But I'm not holding my breath.

This is a solid point. Also by now I have to think Hot Toys are already directing their efforts toward Mandalorian toys instead of Episode 9 toys.

They're interesting now because they're mysterious. Once we've all seen the film and they have no back story, zero lines and do nothing other than put up a little resistance while Rey cuts them all down, then they'll quickly become very uninteresting. Mind you this is coming from a guy who gets excited about the Patrol Trooper.

Nothing wrong with that !! I still am.....he's great !! Such a great Star Wars design !

We will see. I think only the people who went the extra mile and read books would even know about Knights of Ren. Only place I have seen them mentioned is here. The majority of fans probably wont care about them unless they have a huge role in the movie.

What are you basing that on? The movie is not even out yet and we can see at least 6 figures from it. I am sure more are on the way. Stop making crap up.

6? By my count there are 3. Stop making crap up Malgus. I doubt more are coming.

 

[Getter Dragon]

Another BB-8, yet still no 3PO?

The jet troopers will collect dust for years next to the TFA troopers if they ever go up for sale.

 

[Johnny Utah]

It'll be Rey, Kylo and troop ******** again. All I care about is Poe now but I'm not too hopeful since they ****ed Rey and Kylo up.

Rey, Kylo, two sith troopers, a jumptrooper, and a new snow trooper. And you know damn well more are coming,

You don?t count so good.

 

[davejames]

Yeah I noticed BB8 had a slightly different look in the Rey pics. Although not sure that really warrants a new figure.

Rey, Kylo, Sith Trooper are the only figures up for preorder. Two pack does not count as two separate figures. NOTHING else is guaranteed. That makes three. DUH!

One has to wonder if HT is a little gunshy on diving into TROS considering retailers can't be enthusiastic about their inventory being clogged with more sequel figures that won't sell.

Was at my local Wal-Mart today and they had way more Fortnite toys than Star Wars. That's the toy aisle Darth Kennedy and Ruin Johnson have created.

Your name is turd. That's crap literally. There are Kylo, Rey the two troopers on this page, the Sith Trooper and the snow trooper with the cape. You have a serious problem with counting. Wel see how many come out but that's not what I said. I said we have"seen" 6 figures from the movie and it's not even out yet. Obviously there will be more previewed. There is not way Hot Toys will move on before a major Star Wars movie is even in the theatres. That makes no sense. The Mandalorian doesn't have the reach of the movie being on a new streaming service despite what the man groupies are gushing.

It just means Hot Toys has to not over produce them.

 

[davejames]

Yeah I'm surprised they're even bothering with some of these, like the jetpack troopers or new Snowtrooper, since the previous ones sold so poorly. I wish they would focus on figures ST fans like me are actually eager to see, like Poe, Dark Rey, and an improved Finn.

I am sure those will be coming too. It's easier to make the troopers so we see them earlier. Of course people have different tastes. I have quite a few troopers and will get any they release for the upcoming movie but I have no interest in a a Rey or Finn. Poe I have a slight interest in. The troopers are my only wants from the movie so far. Like I said earlier I think the illusion of the troopers being slow sellers is most likely caused by hot toys over producing them. Hot Toys would know this and make the new ones in the appropriate amount.

Seriously you two, fighting over numbers of figures. How old are you ?

We're not on the playground any more kids.........

This new BB8 seems like it will be forgotten at a junk yard for a decade in TROS.
