1/6 Why no love from Hot Toys for Rogue One, Cassian, Baze and Saw Gerrera ?

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

After Solo there's more than a year before they will start showing E9 stuff. That'll be a good time for HTs to do a wave 2 kind of thing for RO. Their Facebook account is pushing for Marvel stuff though...

The Facebook account pushes for whatever is happening at the moment. All the marvel hype didn’t stop them from putting up a PO for the guard and the emperor though.

I got this back from HT regarding my request for Krennic... at least I know they received it...

Well I got a longer more detailed response from HT......

At least it's different and not a standard response for all. It's a bit more encouraging, but not much.

Then again perhaps Wor-Gar got the Friday response and I got the Wednesday response

Thanks!

What I did do was suggest they should add Rogue One figures like Baze to their next Con/Pop-up-Shop or whatever they do to showcase Solo and Star Wars figures. This may be the litmus test...

Litmus test...write to them again, telling them you like nachos, and see if you get the same response.

This is also a very good idea

Strange HT is suddenly being so receptive to emails. I thought they were notoriously quiet for years. Could simply be a change in management style.

The only positive is that they do acknowledge that they've received something. I think that's the best we can hope for.



I can see it now if Krennic gets made: Freaks suddenly assault HT with emails for their dream figures and most obscure wishes thinking they listen.

Well I hope they take all these emails as an answer to the "demand and supply" question !

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

I also hope that they'll check these threads once in a while to gauge the demand for the figures.

The whole Rogue One line is nearly sold out except for Jyn here and there, I didn't even get a chance to buy a Shoretrooper. It seems obvious demand is there, but I thought that about the prequels too and HT has only announced Anakin after all these years lol. Really hoping we see some news this year!

True scale or 1/6??

And run the risk of pissing them off? Ah, not that good of an idea

My Jyn is all lonely in a detolf by her self, she needs a Director to shoot.

They did but sadly nobody read it. This is clearly automated response.

Smiley was meant to signify this comment was in humour.

Hot Toys should do crowd sourcing for a couple of figures a year which they maybe aren't sure if there are enough takers.

Look Hasbro are doing it......

Lego also has a similar strategy for custom sets, which if enough votes are achieved, then they get made in production.

 

[Hoody999]

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

Looks like Hasbro are still continuing with Rogue One figures and vehicles this year....perhaps gives a little bit of hope that Hot Toys could also still release some Rogue One figures, especially the Tank Trooper as this was one which went MIA....

 

[Wor-Gar]

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

Tank Trooper is coming

 

[D.R.37]

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

Want that tank! Dammit would mean buying a few more 3.75’s and possibly the AT-ST which is on clearance now I think?

 

[Wor-Gar]

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

that tank looks a wee bit undersized.

Only slightly. Still great it can fit both a driver and commander. It will definitely find a spot on one of my shelves somewhere.
