1/6 Hot Toys - VGM62/62B - StarWars Legends : Darth Revan

So hyped for this and starkiller. It will more then likely be a VMS release under knights of the old republic.

Same here. These are the two least expected figures to see HT do, but boy am I happy to see them made. Happy to see others sharing these thoughts, maybe it will get them produced.

Mate, the excitement for Darth Revan is through the roof for me

Can’t wait to get stuck in a randomised queue for this then miss out.

They (Revan and Starkiller) might indeed be show exclusives with limited quantities available thru Sideshow. I would be pissed but it's definitely a possibility.

Cool image and poster.

Those sith are all so terrifying. Especially the female with the dreadlocks on the lower left. Gave me the chills when I zoomed in and looked at her.

Wow...I'm just....WOW. Beyond excited. I honestly don't think I could handle an exclusive BS thing with Revan...I really think it is something that might generally push me out of the hobby finally. Something like Revan, that I've put in Sideshows "suggestion" submission on their website every week for actual years in the hope that they would make him since I just didn't think Hot Toys would, and they make Revan an exclusive and I don't get it....idk.

Anakin I was really pissed I didn't get originally because of the issues with the queue kicking me out 3 times while checking out (lucky on a waitlist conversion thankfully), but I would've gotten over that one honestly because I've had both light/dark Ani...but finding out Revan is like limited to 3000 in all markets and having to gamble with the sideshow Queue Gods...and then losing. Im not sure I could weather that storm

Yep, I’ll be done if they make this a bull **** exclusive.

I’m still pissed about Anakin. Especially since they’ve done a sculpted alternative for every Artisan figure EXCEPT Anakin.

I’m not going to enjoy this hobby if they just make all of my most wanted figures limited exclusives for no reason.

Just makes the hobby a chore and filled with FOMO for no reason whatsoever.

Is there any actual indication that Revan would be an exclusive, or is this just a terrifying hypothetical?

I find it extremely unlikely that they would go through the trouble of making all the unique pieces for Revan only to limit the availability in such a way. The only other panic inducing exclusives I can recall were either repaints of existing figures or “artisan” alternatives to a basic release. You might say Anakin 2.0 not having a wide release version sets a frightening precedent, but I’m sure we’ll get a sculpted version next year for the 20th anniversary.

There's none. And given that this isn't a paint variant (like the Umbra Trooper) or a current figure with newly rooted hair (Anakin), the economics wouldn't justify it. With the cost of new tailoring, molding, etc., this is likely to be a mainline release.

Looks great, now my Sideshow Darth Malgus won't be alone on a shelf.

I can see both being kinda sorta limited in the artisan Joker or Anakin range, maybe more diffuse convention exclusives range, these are video game characters and although popular with gamers will have nowhere near the global appeal of movie or even some TV show figures.

Best case another round of slowly sell out during pre-order figures wich makes sense.

I don't see them being umbra trooper level rare at all, for the reason people have stated of actually making money after r&d.

That’s just PTSD from having endured the Kenobi show.

At least we didn’t get the Mickey Mouse inspired version of Reva

I wish they had added Malak to this as well. Revan and Malak would've been Soooo great to have together and it would've fit the theme

Agreed, hopefully if Revan sells well Malak
Won’t be far behind. I would be happy with these 5. Savage oppress as well.

No, not VMS it’s VGM. Video Game Masterpiece. Can’t believe we’ll have a Star Wars VGM.

doubt it. Revan and Starkiiler are masked characters, easier to do.

I'd give anything for a Legends Bane, pre-Orbalisk version. Never cared for helmet/armored version.
