PT stands for "Partly True".

Prequel Tragedy?
Power Tools?
Pretty Tragic?
Punk Trilogy?
Puny Tales?
Petty Thievery?
Punked Theatre?

This will be my first HT OT pass. No desire to own in 1/6 at these prices

Hot Toys formula is smart.

Release not-as-popular GONK droid (people will buy) + then release most wanted GONK droid (people will buy) = profit

I still can't believe ht is doing the gonk, but as long as they don't get too crazy with the price I will buy because I want to see more stuff like this.

Which is the popular Gonk? I would want the one that Kenner made but I don't think its actually in the movie

Given that it's basically just a giant accessory they will have to add sounds won't they?

I'd also want it to walk (not joking here, Hasbro are putting out a walking toy for RO).

The disclaimer you throw out there made me laugh pretty hard. I would like my next sixth scale vader to force choke unwanted guests on command

GONK will be at least 150...maybe 175

Jeez - hope not $175. It's a box with legs.

I strongly resent your derision (nah, not really). But is it such a crazy idea? You can buy toys that walk in any poundshop.

Please don't take any offense Tom, as none was intended. I was just laughing at the idea of a HT gonk droid walking away from my display. The possibility of making it happen isn't crazy, but personally I don't think there is any chance in hell hot toys will do this. Then again if somebody told me that hot toys would be doing a gonk last week I probably would have called them a fool.

So how long of a waiting period are we looking at? When do these become official release?

Last year they showed Boba and Leia at SDCC. Boba went up for pre-order sometime in mid August I think. And Leia in late July, but some figures have taken longer to go up for pre-order so there's no clear rule.
