1/6 Hot Toys 1/6 Rogue One Orson Krennic

[TonTon]

Well this is unexpected. Just hope it isn't delayed too much, or worse lol. Glad I didn't sell my jyn and death trooper deluxe, I did sell k2s0 though...

I did the opposite as you.

But I’ll take my chances on Krennic/Death Trooper two pack or just have him with Tarkin.

 

[xipotec]

I think Krennic was a great character....

Veirs? Lol....what he get 30 seconds of screen time?

Krennic is the typical sleeze character that show the type of people involved in creating the machines of war, and the lack of personal responsibility beyond what it gives them.

He’s the most believe able villain the SW universe has given us.

I have yet to dive into any of the supplement films . but if I did it would be RO.....

Could be the start of a slippery slope...


Sent from the inside of a giant slug in outer space.....

I'm sure Krennic will be paired with another figure. Death Trooper or a Stormtrooper seems likely, but I wouldn't rule out an all "new" Vader 5.0 (Mustafar Castle ver.).

 

[Futurion]

Bah, Krennic is a huge *****, never liked him. He was almost like a cartoon character.

good call. And everyone will need it because of the talking pun feature. This time with a string on his back because of the problems last time.

Dont know if 2 pack Krennic with a Deathtrooper would be a good idea though. In RO Krennic was always escorted with a squad of DTs.

3 pack?

I'd rather have a Hot Toys General Veers flanked by a Hot Toys AT-AT Driver and a Hot Toys Snowtrooper Commander.

After Tarkin, the most important officer class characters, to me, are Veers and Piett. Piett would be boring though, but Veers with that AT-AT armor? That would be fantastic.

Veers is my most wanted Hot Toy.

Luckily, I kept one Deathtrooper and Shoretrooper so he’ll go perfectly between them. This would be a miracle to have my Xmas, next year.

 

[fantasticfrog]

F yeah!!!!!!
I’m such a dork I jumped up and pumped my fist. So happy! I would bet a death trooper 2 pack is a given and a way to sell new troopers.
I almost didn’t believe what I was seeing!!
This shouldn’t make me so happy.

Agreed on those, I would get them all. Though the AT-AT Driver is one of Sideshow's best troopers, I would get a HT version too. And I would like the Death Star Trooper and the other Sandie to be released already.
Anyway glad to see people getting Krennic finally

 

[Vitron5]

Veers is my most wanted Hot Toy.

Agree. All Imp admirals/generals.

 

[TonTon]

They just put out the mudtrooper, which is kind Veers-like. So it’s hard to say if that makes it less likely for a Veers or more likely. Maybe when they eventually do their commander we’ll get him.

 

[Saintv1]

Honest question: why is this figure such a big deal for people?

I don't ask that because I want to crap on anyone's figure desires--you want what you want and I'm glad you're getting it after waiting so long. I'm just interested to hear why, because to me he was mostly a forgettable weasel.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Fantastic News!

Hoping Baze and at least Cassian are to follow.

I've already got two Death Troopers but a Krennic/DT 2-pack would be welcomed as well.

Looking at the helmet and chest plate on Han/Mudtrooper, there doesn't seem to be any parts that could be reused for Veers. He'd have to be all new. So probably less likely.

Yeah I don't get it either. Never have. Ever since 2012, Ben Mendelsohn has been typecast as this weaselly, generic throwaway villain in big blockbuster movies. Dark Knight Rises, Rogue One, Ready Player One, Robin Hood, Captain Marvel, it's the same guy.

I'm thinking it's the white cape that does it for most people, but to me he looks ridiculous. Vader and Dooku's capes are more pimp than his white gown.

 

[FlyAndFight]

It is Star Wars.

Every character, even if on screen for a split second, is relevant.

I don't believe that you'll find that with any other franchise.

Krennic was the main antagonist in RO. The weasel will look fantastic flanked by two Death Troopers.

Yeah I don't dislike Krennic myself like you do, but Maximilian Veers (and more specifically, Julian Glover) has a certain je ne sais quoi that makes him stand out in my mind as the most memorable officer. Piett too, only because he has such a bigger role, and he does terror so well when confronted with Vader. I'd like to see Veers done right by Hot Toys - in his full officer suit, with removable Hoth AT-AT armor. Honestly, I don't know why he should stand out, he has such a small role and doesn't do anything extraordinary, but Glover brings something to the role that just grabbed me.

Still, glad they're making Krennic, it would be fun to pose him and Vader in that scene, "Don't choke on your asperations." Guess I'll have to do a background for that.

Main man in the creation of the Death Star.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Wow no way!

No interest in him but congrats to all those who have waited patiently (and impatiently) and never gave up HOPE!

And I do hope they finish off the set with Baze and Cassian. I may not want them personally, but I see how important it is for HT to follow through with their characters, especially with ensemble groups.
