Now that I have a Chirrut, I really want a Baze in the collection.

Krennic and Cassian as well...

Chirrut & Baze should get their own movie, about the guardians of the Whills.

Not sure if all the want a Krennic are only wanting the main outfit that he wears in most of the film, but i would really want a deluxe with the L'ahmu rain gear and Imperial cap; slightly younger and lower ranking. HT could use the same thing they did with the deluxe Jyn (magnetic hat/hair sculpt, even with his slightly longer hair).
One of my favorite images i'd like to recreate in a display.



If/When HT gets to him i doubt they'd go as far as this extra outfit, but they should

Don't push it!!! We just want a Krennic

Just so long as he has a cape, rain cape or normal cape. That's his signature look.

No Hot Toys Krennic

No Hot Toys Krennic

Yeah sucks doesn't it !

Looking at his uniform design it is almost 1:1 with Tarkin, so they at least have the pattern ready to go. Belt & cylinders also the same. Boots probably also useable from Tarkin.

It's really a pretty small step they need to do to make this guy. Headsculpt, gun and cape essentially. Oh and red/blue throat lolly rank insignia.

The good thing about Rogue One is that this is one line the you can actually "complete" . It's only a handful of characters, if they ever make them.

That’s what I don’t understand. They only need like 2-3 more figures from this line and then half of us would shut up. Maybe it’s just a way to drag on the line as long as possible?

We know that they have Baze, a pair of Shore Troopers and the Tank Commander already designed. I'm fairly certain that a Krennic is as well. Throw in Cassian and 95% of us would then be content with the RO line.

I think the scuplt and that whitish cape/uniform might be the issue for them...really not small step. Quality control for Krennic gonna be tough job

C'mon have you seen the costumes for Dr Strange, Jack Sparrow or Starlord. I think for Hot Toys a white cape and a headsculpt is not a huge hurdle.

But the complexity, or non complexity of the costume is not the issue. It's other figures being due and potentially HT thinking that Rogue One won't sell.

Im trying to think of an excuse for Hot Toys not doing Krennic lol

It likely won't sell in their home market. Only us Yanks and our UK counter parts want Krennic. I can't see it being a big Asia market seller.

They obviously don't think they would sell or not significantly at least. The movie wasn't hugely popular over there. They only made that Jyn in disguise figure cause they could reuse the sculpt. K2 was a robot. The troopers have 'army builder' potential. And they made Chirrut because its Donnie yen and he has a huge install base. The rest of the characters were a bunch of unknowns we're never gonna see again. Not a lot of motivation to invest in, from their perspective. They canceled Baze cause he was destined to be another shelf warmer like Phasma.

Maybe a third party will make them like Xensation, the company that made those Dr Strange figures.
