I wonder if it's a coincidence that SSC seems to be bombarding us with all kinds of classic Star Wars goodness that they've neglected for years?

Medicom vs Sideshow was nothing.

True, and by that same logic I can guarantee you they (HT) will release a Vader, a Yoda etc. Why wouldn't they now? They will go for the big bucks. Sideshow have been pricing themselves towards HT lately without doing the homework. How will they respond when their key figures are treated like dog **** next to their new shiny (equivalently priced) Hot Toys versions?

This can't go smoothly for SS. I understood the previous arrangement, where HT were "allowed" to produce agreed non-competitive figures by SS. This is a whole new can of worms.

Begun, this collectible war..has...

Yep, ****'s really going to hit the fan if Hoth Luke and Han come out anything like Nathan Drake. I almost pity SSC, as their human likenesses are still so amateur next to HT.

I would buy a Jar Jar Binks figure. Visually it's quite an interesting character and as a kid he made me laugh and has given me much joy through the years joking about him (and many haters making funny jokes as well).

Let's be honest a figure would leave the same impression of him in the film. Sort of funny, charming when you first see him, painfully annoying after 5 minutes!

Unless the sculpts are dead on I'll be passing on the non DX figures.
I wonder if they're going to make the figures that Sideshow hasn't.

No interest for the 1/4 scale figures either.

Now, at the end, you understand. *rubs Emperor hands*

That's my fear too. They just blast this stuff out without real concern for maintaining their license. TIE, Scout and 3PO shouldn't be hurt by likeness issues, but cheap paint could kill 3PO in a heart-beat. So the only real guarantee here is TIE and Scout should be clone-level good.

I don't think it's a coincidence at all! I think they see the end is nigh!

So do we know for sure that Sideshow is out of the picture? If so that's great news. Sideshoow really needs this punch in the face to realize that they can't push out mediocre likeness and paints jobs on iconic figures. Some of their figures look really poor next to Hot Toys figures.

Honestly I never found him annoying. Misunderstood, that's what I would say. And clumsy.

1/4 scale figures too, huh? Not sure I want to open that can of collecting worms...

Re: Hot Toys - STAR WARS 1/6th & 1/4th Scale Figures from Episode I - VII Announcemen

I wonder if they will fulfil their 1/4 scale advertisement?

I thought they went cold on that scale? Doesn't matter to me as 1/6 is my scale.

The Chev · Jul 23, 2014

Re: Hot Toys - STAR WARS 1/6th & 1/4th Scale Figures from Episode I - VII Announcemen

I might hold off getting the Medicom Darth Maul and see if Hot Toys makes one.

Not sure why people think they went cold. It hasn't been that long since Batman was released and I don't see them making a ton of 1/4 announcements a year.

Re: Hot Toys - STAR WARS 1/6th & 1/4th Scale Figures from Episode I - VII Announcemen

This is sort of like when Sideshow annouced the Star Wars license back in late 2005.

Endless possibilities. Sometimes, the best part.

That's one that needs revisiting but HT might back off from the PT characters in favor of ones that matter to the new series.
