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

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.

Thank you. I contacted the 3-D artist and sent him some of my reference material.

Here’s a photo of my bash effort so far. With my limited skills, this might be the best I could do.

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?

Hi, I like that species/alien. Here’s some info I found in my book and a photo of my custom figure. (Head purchased here.) Hopefully, no one will fuss at me for being off topic.

Thanks Man.

I've done a few over the years.

The Superheroes one was the first one I ever did. Probably need to make it into 2 now. Marvel and DC.

Also need to put my GotG minifigures into one at some point.

Dang you Hoody, I picked up a Lego RO Y-Wing this weekend...for the minifigs.

Nice !! Also try Bricklink to purchase specific figures directly. It's like a Lego ebay.

Yeah I've been looking at individual figures but I've always liked the Y-Wing so, what the heck! RO is one of my favorite, or maybe my favorite, SW movie so I'm working on that set first. Generally are eBay or Bricklink prices better for minifigs?

Same species, different character. The one from Force Awakens was more smoothed skinned, the one from Last Jedi had wispy hair.

From what I've noticed, Bricklink has generally better prices on individual specific bricks and Minifigs than anyone else, but there's many sellers that have a minimum order amount there. A lot of people buy Lego sets and part out the minifigs to make a profit since they're more desirable than the full set. Though as a result, the sets without Minifigs are actually cheaper on Ebay sometimes. I got the RO Tie Striker and the BVS Batwing with Lexcorp helicopter both new and complete without minifigs for $20 shipped for each on Ebay. You'll never find them cheaper elsewhere.

@Tinman.

Agree with Screaming Metal. Brick link makes it easy to find the parted out figures. But yes some have minimum order amounts. Still, I haven't found anywhere where mini figures are cheaper. Other than the Chinese knockoff ones.

Y-Wing would make a nice display though.

I think more and more will look back on Rogue One and see it as a great/classic Star Wars film. Aesthetically it looks so good.

For those who want Hot Toys to release Cassian with the parka look, I strongly suggest that you send them an email to Hot Toys: [email protected] and forward them a link to this forum. I am about to do that but the request will probably get more attention if more collectors made this request known to Hot Toys.

Just sent a note to them adding my voice to the cause for more ROGUE ONE figures.

A simple email to make your voice heard is all it takes.

You beat me to it Wor Gar !! Good idea to post here as well.

Just one added note for those writing an email to Hot Toys to make the wish for more Rogue One figures real.

I also quickly copy pasted my email into Google Translate to translate it into simplified Chinese. Gotta remember that whoever receives the emails would no doubt read something in their mother language far easier than in a foreign language.
 
Re: Why no love from Hot Toys for Rogue One Krennic, Cassian and Baze ?

I'll send an email for more Rogue One figures as well. Certainly can't hurt.
 
Re: Why no love from Hot Toys for Rogue One Krennic, Cassian and Baze ?

I think HT has a hole in their Star Wars line-up from the anticipated TLJ figures they planned but likely will not be releasing now. Hence the "early release" of things like Tarkin and preorders for a ton of OT stuff rather than TLJ.

This could be a time where HT says 'yeah let's revisit the RO stuff we made but never previewed'.

Make it happen.


If there's a benefit to TLJ, its that maybe it gave us more RO and OT figures.

Are....are you saying....there could be hope for Wedge?!?!
 
Re: Why no love from Hot Toys for Rogue One Krennic, Cassian and Baze ?

:lol Unfortunately no. But maybe Pilot Luke. HT has run out of OT Luke incarnations at this point. A pilot from ESB is in the cards, I know it.
 
Re: Why no love from Hot Toys for Rogue One Krennic, Cassian and Baze ?

Does hot toys as a company get to make the decision as to what character(s) to develop or so they require permission? I understand they have the Star Wars license but wanted to know if there was someone giving them the Disney/Lucasfilm blessing on each character.
 
Re: Why no love from Hot Toys for Rogue One Krennic, Cassian and Baze ?

I'm pretty that since they have the license, they can make whichever character they please, as long as they're not expressly told by Disney/Lucasfilm "hey, this character is off limits for such and such reason, don't make them".

It's pretty much up to Hot Toys to make whatever they think will sell well.

I think that would be the case for older movies, however I'd guess Disney/Lucasfilm would have more to say what they should make regarding new movies/characters.

I heard that actor needs to give them permission first. But I find that hard to believe. I think their contract with Disney already had something about merch in it.

Actor "permission" may also be just an act of courtesy by HT. But who knows ??
