OK, so all changed. Hope you can sleep at night now screamingmetal

Your suggestion does make more sense. Also decided to add Rogue One in there for people who perhaps aren't so familiar with the characters, or those who have lived under a rock for the last couple of years.

Yeah what I saw reminded me of glazier points. I tend to over complicated something like this, It'll be easier just to use what they gave us but I still like the idea of a hinge. Thanks for the good info and good tip on expanding the depth, I'll pick up a few of these next time I visit Ikea. I wish I bought it last time I was there, they were on sale.

BTW, I just noticed that they have added these:
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30364348/
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50364352/

More wall mountable display options! I think I'll stick with the picture frames so they look uniform.

Great find with these new IKEA display boxes SM. At first I thought they look big enough for a small 1/6 diorama. But perhaps not......too small unfortunately. But perhaps for something else one day. I also prefer the uniformness of the frames. They also don't stick out so far from the wall which could look a bit weird.

I still maintain they have put him on hold until they get through the glut of Star Wars & Marvel movies at the moment. Like someone said, if he's not displayed (even in a dark corner) at the first big con this year I'll start to get worried. What is that SDCC or perhaps one in Asia ?

Baze hasn't been displayed for several markets now though.

And like I said, if he's on hold waiting for the glut, he'll have to wait for HT to catch up on a year's worth of preorders PLUS the new IW films, Solo, next year's final Star Wars chapter, and the usually 2-3 Marvel filler films each year. Waiting for a hole will be few a far between. It could be like Ripley... wait three years or so.

I wonder if I'll like Baze more or less in three years?

Not sure about Baze but I’ll like Krennic in 2-3 Years... even more so if they release him this year.

And the Deathstar Trooper.
I wonder if they’ll release the “Classic Stormtrooper this year since 2018 is starting to look like an ESB year, or is that the ROTJ Trooper?

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

Classic trooper? Your mean a standard stormtrooper from ESB?

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

Thought I saw pics of him labeled as the Classic Trooper and thought he was the ROTJ version. ESB Stormtrooper would seem like he may pop up this year then.

Name change works well, hopefully our constant drum banging will ring out across the internet and HT's in their infinite wisdom will go all out to open the RO floodgates.

No problem Revanist. The TFA worked well as Rey's Landspeeder has a good shape to fit. However you will need to modify the frame a bit to get it to fit properly.

I'm not the biggest user of Twitter, so actually not sure how that would work exactly. Even if you follow Ben Mendelson you can't twitter him directly right ?? How could we best do this ?

We need to get them to make Krennic so Wor-Gar will buy a Death Trooper deluxe !!

Cool, thanks for that. We will look into the Rey speeder mods!

I'm on Twitter but not the biggest user myself, not that big a fan of social media but it helps stay up to date with some SW news. He's probably too busy to be bothered with RO stuff these days anyway.

I think the Death Trooper (and esp the deluxe) is just awesome - and I can't get over how BIG they are compared to other troopers. So imposing and like so much of RO so beautifully designed.

Oh, I must have misunderstood. Yeah, they showed us a ROTJ version of the "classic trooper". One would expect an ESB version as well, although considerably less change from ANH to ESB.

I just don't have the kind of room it takes to collect all versions of the classic stormie. I go sandtrooper, snowtrooper and scout and that's about it as far as OT. (not counting TIE pilot or DS Trooper, etc)

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

When I first saw it, happy with my ANH troopers, I said I’d never need any other Trooper versions but now with Vader and Fett coming out I might just have to grab an ESB if they release those :/

YES!! MY INSOMNIA IS CURED!!
Now off to dream about a complete sixth scale Rogue One shelf.

Nice, thanks Hoody999!

This kind of thread could be a recurring theme across the various sections of this forum. Hmmm, ''Why no love from Hot Toys for T1 Kyle Reese, classic style Endoskeleton, Colonial Marines 2.0s'' etc etc

I still long for a 2.0 of the marines.

Those are old and busted characters. Star Wars and Marvel are the new hotness.

Except Baze. Whoever that is.

Well I started this thread with a similar name to the Tarkin thread cause that worked finally.

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

I would love a HT version also. To fill the alien void, I have been working with a 3D artist to make some of my characters possible.

If there is enough interest, I could talk to the artist about making a 1/6 scale Two-Tubes head. People could order directly from Shapeways. I have something that would work for the tubes, maybe hands, long coat, and of course as Wor-Gar said the breather... I would have to bash the rest.

Here are a few examples:

Hi Darkness Predator. Seems there are quite a few people that would be interested in a Two Tubes custom.

Do you think you could ask some questions and see what could be possible ?

Maybe start an interest thread and see what happens.

Sorry, looking at the customs and was wondering, I always thought that Resistance pilot died at that last trench run but did he show up again in Last Jedi? Or was that someone else, same or similar-looking species?

I actually thought the same thing, dw. Guess it was a look alike? It’s a shame cause he’s an interesting looking new alien. You’d think they would try to establish his character more. He shows up in the Poe comics.

Yeah, he reminded me of a Biggs or Wedge to Luke, and what happened to Jess Testor or Pava, forgot the name??
