But they might have placards for Dutch and JH 2.0 for 2017's Predator 30th anniversary that won't get made as well as an Alien Covenant license announcement for one figure of the wrong character that won't be made until 2020.

HT T1 Sarah Connor
HT T1 Kyle Reese
HT T1 Franco Columbo T-Whatever
HT T2 John Connor

All of which would indeed be of interest (apart from Alien Covenant) and all of which seem extremely unlikely given the trajectory Hot Toys is on these days.

- Elias from "Platoon"
- The Lone Ranger
- Doc Brown from BTTF (1)
- Elizabeth Shaw from "Prometheus"
- Millennium Falcon cockpit

Elias from Platoon not happening really pissed me off. The other two figures, good as they were, were pointless without him.
 
Since other big licenses have gone to other companies I can't think of other 'big' franchises (Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Ghostbusters, TMNT, Game of Thrones...). I can't see Hot Toys making a lot of TV Series characters either...
 
Trying to keep optimistically realistic, but I don't think at least one of either Jedi Luke, ESB Lando, Darth Sidious or an ESB Leia is out of the question. There will be RO stuff and if the movie ends up being good I'd be keen on at least a Mads Mikkelsen's Galen Erso in that Imperial uniform too. Other than Star Wars, I'm not sure what licenses they own that they have yet to reveal any major characters from. There's nothing new from Marvel that I'd want as we haven't seen any news or trailers post Dr. Strange have we? Killer Croc and maybe El Diablo might be cool even though I wasn't a huge fan of SS, but I don't expect them to explore that license any further anyway.

I had a quick look at the Hot Toys wiki page to browse their list of licenses and unless they do a few surprise 2.0's of older stuff (T-1000 2.0?) I'm not expecting any major surprises. Where they have done 2.0's, were they around a special anniversary for the franchise or are they typically out of the blue?

I'd like an emperor's Royal guard, apart from anything else I'd like to see what HT do for the outfit under the robes.
 
Dr. Strange seems like a one-off movie to me, like Ant-Man... just the lead, to go into your Marvel collection. No villain, no sidekick, no love interest. HT has been doing it this way since the beginning.
