Re: Why no love for Hot Toys Krennic, Cassian and Baze ?

Krennic is a definite for me. As previously mentioned, in that unique uniform, flanked by the Death Troopers, it would make a cool display.

Cassian would probably be picked up as well, just to complete the Cassian-K2-Jyn display. Unfortunately, I only see Krennic release as having any possibility and Cassian as not likely...

I love the guy who is posting this on Facebook for every release...great meme.

Personally, I think Cassian has more of a chance than Krennic. And I want Krennic more. But HT only seems interested in doing Vader/troopers from the Empire. It took FOREVER to get Tarkin shown and up for preorder. HT tends to do more of the Rebel/hero characters.

I hope your right. Finalisation of the group of Rebels would be great. However Krennic for the Deathtroopers is just as justifiable.

I think they took a long time for Tarkin cause they are not so Star Wars fanatical for characters like that in China. I'd say him being in RO had a big impact to him being made at all.
 
Re: Why no love for Hot Toys Krennic, Cassian and Baze ?

Has anyone seen the new Rebels trailer ?

Saw and Edrio Two Tubes are in it. Now that is cool. Final season must end very close to Rogue One.

C'mon Hot Toys you know you want to make a Two Tubes figure !! ;-)

Krennic and Stardust were mentioned, too! I'm stoked. If any of the R1 team make an appearance I'm gonna stroke out.
 
Re: Why no love for Hot Toys Krennic, Cassian and Baze ?

Cassian and Krennic will appear in the first episode, immediately followed by a Hot Toys 2-Pack announcement :p
 
Re: Why no love for Hot Toys Krennic, Cassian and Baze ?

First episode was previewed at Celebration with no RO cameos. I'm sure they will be in it since it's the last season. I predict happy and dark endings to the Rebel crew members
 
Re: Why no love for Hot Toys Krennic, Cassian and Baze ?

Krennic is more important than Cassian at this point.

I'm with you on that.

Makes me wonder how much Hot Toys are "guided" by Disney in what characters to do. Which to do first up, which to do once the film is released etc etc. If Disney does have a big influence, perhaps there will be a "mini Rogue One" revival in increased interest with the end of Rebels. I guess also coinciding with TLJ start. A 4K release of Rogue One for X-mas ??

It's a stretch, but perhaps HT will do a second Rogue One phase with the ending of Rebels. Again if Disney is guiding them this may make sense. The general Star Wars hype train will be in full swing. Perfect storm perhaps ??

Anyway I only say all this cause I want Tee-Kay to put a few more green ticks in his signature :)

Imagine what a Hot Toys Edrio 2 Tubes and Saw would look like on the shelf !!

I'm surprised no one has started a run for a custom Krennic.

I'm still waiting on a Hux and Poe, myself.

Probably never gonna happen. Still pretty shocked Cassian didn't get made, though. I thought he was a sure thing.

Yeah, one would think. HT should be careful with their character choice and also what prototyped they decide to reveal and what get release in the end. It could hurt their business on the (not so) long run. I for one am more reluctant to PO latest figures as they go up for that very reason. Ending up with gaping holes on my shelves is not how i see collecting.
 
Re: Why no love for Hot Toys Krennic, Cassian and Baze ?

Yep the only guarantee with HT and Disney SW seems to be:

1. Main Hero
2. Enemy Troops

I was going to include "Main Villain" but Krennic blew that theory out of the water.

If you want your collection to include anything other than one hero and a bunch of troops then it's a total crapshoot unless you only collect OT.

"Crap" being the optimal word there.......

I find it very frustrating. Especially when I look at Tee-Kay's signature.....:)

However in hindsight I could imagine HT were nervous about how well received the first "Anthology" movie would be, and played it mega safe. Also with the TFA oversupply fresh in their mind, workload with GOTG, Marvel etc etc.

Now that we know RO was a good film, great box-office figures etc, then it's either too late and they'll never do them. Or they consider them "Prequel" and release the other figures over time with the already released movies. ESB, ROTS, etc etc.

I really hope it's the latter.
 
Re: Why no love for Hot Toys Krennic, Cassian and Baze ?

I see this morning on FB that Hot Toys have revisited Alien vs Predator with another figure. This gives me some hope that they could come back to Rogue One eventually.
 
Re: Why no love for Hot Toys Krennic, Cassian and Baze ?

Is it wrong I want Hot Toys to make a Krennic just so I'll be this much closer to making a proper Thrawn?
 
Re: Why no love for Hot Toys Krennic, Cassian and Baze ?

Gives me some hope as well. Yet, this being another Predator, that would most probably transslate to a trooper variant rather than a newly scultped HS for a Cassian or a Krennic :(
 
Re: Why no love for Hot Toys Krennic, Cassian and Baze ?

I'm hopeful for Krennic as well. I would pose them with Emperor and Vader, on a lower platform glaring at each other. I love their rivalry in the Rogue One prequel novel. It is a must read if you want to really understand the Erso-Krennic and Krennic-Tarkin dynamics. The film doesn't give them enough time and instead follows the less interesting cast of characters (Rebels). The politics of the Empire is interesting enough to warrant its own movie.

And I almost laughed out loud when Tarkin gets the last laugh and fires the Death Star directly at the top platform Krennic is on. So savage.
