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

[user 67922]

The game era is a few years post Order 66. You play an escaped young Jedi with partial training. These guys are after you pretty much.

Check out the trailer Star Wars Fallen Order. Looks pretty impressive and it is a pure single player story game. There is also first gameplay being shown this weekend at E3. Hopefully should be epic.

I've started SDCC threads in the past and there is a bit of talk, but what invariably happens is if there is a new figure shown someone starts a thread specific to that and all the talk goes there. So give it a go. I like to have a chat about what SDCC could offer.

Cheers, I'll check it out. I loved KOTOR, so I should try out some of these new games.

Maybe a top 10 SDCC wishlist or predictions thread or something.

They look like very impressive designs tbf. What era is that game set in btw? Those troopers seem like a no-brainer considering they’ve already made the helmets. Not sure about getting game figures, but the Shock Trooper and Shadow Trooper have tempted me in the past.

Another Friday with no release *sighs*. At what point does the SDCC thread open on here?

Another Friday indeed! I thought it was this week for sure, but rerelease Spider-Man must be scraping the bottom of the barrel. Probably not, next week will be cardigan hulk.
I’m half joking.
Anyone know the date of the last Star Wars preorder? Was it Cody?

 

[sithocan]

Marvel, DC and SW taking too much effort of HT that they don't produce any other figures.

It was Qui-Gon on March 22nd.

Just to give us a little hope, there were 5 figures put up for pre-order last June: Mudtrooper, Patrol Trooper, AOTC Yoda, AOTC Dooku and Sith Anakin. We should at the very least be getting the SDCC exclusive within the next two weeks.

Haha yeah. I like the half joking comment. I feel the same. It'll probably happen and I won't be surprised. They'll have to get one last figure out of that Hulk body for now.

To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if fatigue is hitting the HT team. I mean it is not a huge organisation. And it's been pretty constant these last couple of years. We also know Star Wars is not as loved as Marvel in Asia (infact Marvel is the new Star Wars for many younger people), so perhaps the passion isn't there for Star Wars.

That said the end of the year belongs to Star Wars so I'll need to be patient I guess. At least we'll see more Mandalorian footage at D23. Probably a mix of what we've already seen from Celebration.

Seriously what were you expecting for SW ?

 

[Stryker2011]

Seriously what were you expecting for SW ?

Bespin Han
Bespin Lando
Bespin Chewie with dismantled 3PO
Admiral Ackbar
Geonosis Padme
Boushh/Leia
ROTJ Chewie
Slave Leia
Sail Barge Han
Endor Leia
Endor Han
ROTJ Vader
Cassian
Baze
Ewok Leia

And if Sideshow wasn’t run by imbeciles:

Bib Fortuna 2.0
Oola
Gamorrean Guard 2.0
Max Rebo Band
& several other ROTJ palace aliens too numerous to mention to sell more Jabba’s

Ewok Leia, now that would be a bit of a left field figure, but actually one I could see them making. After all they did make Bespin Leia. Would happily sell a limb for a 1:6 scale Max Rebo Band.

 

[slikkerias]

BTW Who makes the U-Wing & Tie Striker ?

Those are Fantasy Flight games X-Wing miniatures. I have them all through my SW collecting with the figures they fit.

 

[slikkerias]

There’s no premiere date for the Cassian series yet is there? ...we probably won’t get a Cassian figure before then - and I can’t wait. For either.

 

[sithocan]

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

 

[Hoody999]

OK cool. I thought they were probably the X-Wing miniatures after thinking about it a bit. Nice addition. Might need to check them out.

No date for Cassian yet. However should be next year I'd say. No doubt we'll get info at D2 this year. It may be a bit of a stretch time wise, however I'd like to think we would somehow get the first Cassian and The Mandalorian season 2 next year. But I don't know if there is enough time to shoot and do post for both in that amount of time ??

Wow, that actually does look insanely good! I love how it feels the perfect mix of prequels (particularly Revenge of the Sith) and Rogue One. It's exactly how I'd like the Cassian series to look and feel. There's no way Saw isn't going to be in that. Those awesome looking beehive troopers (with the Magna Guard electro staffs) better make an appearance in live action. Also, that little droid is one of the most inspired looking droids I've seen in a while from Star Wars.

Wow, what PS3 game is this?

You have no idea how disappointed I am Saw isn’t wear his battle sandals.

Haha. Perhaps they are only for Sunday battles [emoji2]

[user 67922]

How long do they usually leave between announcing SDCC exclusives? We've had two Marvel (surprise surprise) announced thus far, so the SW exclusive must be announced soon, right?
