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 ?

that tank looks a wee bit undersized.

Hehe wonder who’ll take on the 1/6 build??
When they reveal the 1/6 figure

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

I’d do the same and throw a more realistic weathering job on it.

Also weird that this “hover tank” never did hover.

Yeah I find that "hover tank" name funny too. You can see the wheel/track marks on the sand in the movie

I remember catching that in the theater and wondered if it was something the digital fx dept. missed in post hehe

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....

Probably has something to do with the 60% drop in toy revenues from R1 to TLJ being reported by financial sites like Forbes, etc...
I'm just glad they are abandoning the stupid nerf add ons, I passed on the majority of toys I'd probably have otherwise gotten.

Well the vintage collection line they’re bringing back for adult collectors so they can ditch that Nerf stuff. Nice to see. I need to buy a house so I have more space for toys. Had to sell the BMF.

Wow that is great if true hopefully HT's recognizes this and doesn't waste time and continues on with OT and more R1 figures.

Did you see the article where the Hasbro CEO put down low toy sales from TLJ to too early marketing and inventory. What a load of BS.

People don't like the movie, people don't buy stuff. That simple.

I'm with Sam, bring on more OT & R1 figures Hot Toys. People like those movies and buy stuff.

It's honestly incredible how everyone is making excuses for this movie to cover for it. And now JJ Abrams came out and said this week that the criticisms for The Last Jedi won't have any effect on what they do for Episode IX.

I don't get it. The fans are making their voices heard, and every sign points to how much this movie is/was hated, but they keep coming out and saying "oh well, just deal with it". If any other franchise spat in the face of their fans like Star Wars has over the past 2+ months, there'd be massive changes from the highest level down as damage control. Doesn't seem to be the case here. It's like they fan the fans who spend the money to **** off.

Agree 100%. I'm hoping they are gonna course correct but no way are they gonna publicly admit they screwed up but we'll see.

Anyway where's the love for Krennic, Cassian, and Baze HT's???

Personally, I do not agree with the comments of JJ Abrams. Maybe I am just ignorant about the sentiment of other fans, but he mentioned that the critics are threatened by female lead characters. I love Rey and I bought the Hot Toys figure of her from TFA. I did not like TLJ because of how they portrayed Luke. Movies should be about entertainment and personally I was not entertained by the portrayal of Luke in the movie. In addition, I am not satisfied with the portrayal of Kylo Ren. When I first saw pictures of him before TFA, I thought that he will be a tough and cool villain. I was hoping that he will be someone who would be a larger threat to the Resistance. I am not convinced about that so far. Hopefully, Episode 9 will change my mind.

These are just my 2 cents. I don't claim to be speaking for anyone else but my point is that I do not agree with JJ Abrams' reasoning for why people do not like TLJ.

There's not admitting they screwed up and there's giving the fans the middle finger. Not admitting they screwed up would be if they remained completely silent and just said nothing...kind of like George Lucas with his god awful dialogue writing from Episode I and II. Abrams, Kennedy and Johnson are basically giving everyone who didn't like the movie the finger, because they've all admitted that they're well aware of the criticism, and that they don't care. Johnson goes out of his way to justify every decision he made about the movie and Abrams saying we hear you but we aren't changing anything moving forward is just their way of saying if you don't like it, go find something else to watch.

I find myself less in Star Wars lately and more and more into the MCU. At least Kevin Feige isn't creating a civil war amongst his fan base.

This is why I now consider anything post ROTJ as bad EU. For me, the Star Wars saga ended after ROTJ, though I did enjoy Rogue One as well. And seeing I’m in this thread, where in hell is Cassian and Krennic?! I’ve not bought a single R1 figure as I will not buy Jyn, K2 and Chirrut if I can’t at least complete the team.

I also have the opinion that this new trilogy is just bad EU. I have read good EU and bad EU for 20 years so I can dismiss this just like the i did the Vong.

Can we please have Baze Hot Toys!

At least this!

Then Krennic. Cassian and Bohdi would be icing on the cake.

Hot Toys just goes berserk with their Marvel line again

The decline in sales of those Force Abomination sequels will totally affect entire SW merchandise... the brand is damaged, and might be on the edge of falling down..this is what im afraid the most.

thats why we got Chirrut but no Baze, Death troopers but no Krennic, Anakin but no Obiwan, Jyn Erso but no Cassian

Did you see Marvel and DC lines missing any key characters from Hot Toys ? Nope. Then why Star Wars ?

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

I'm wondering what the main global conventions which Hot Toys normally attend each year, and more importantly which is the first of the year ??

What is this total nonsense? Marvel has plenty of huge gaps in their lines and plenty of shown off but never released figures.

Vulture, Yellow Jacket, Nebula, Ancient One, Ronan, Ultron Drone, Ultimate Ultron...
but the point is well taken. Star Wars has suffered quite a few scoffs from Hot Toys as of late.

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

Just re-found this article. Interesting comments below the article from people even at that time also wanting Krennic. Seems that is the wish wherever you look. Surely HT has the message to make Krennic.

P.S at least Baze got a Baze......and the rest got China teacup Stormies. Cassian and Gareth look really stoked !!
