Hot Toys Royal Guard

He just looks very small scale-wise next to all of my other figures. Head too. Great figure but hard to display with others for me.

He was short in the movie, lol. Park is not a big dude.
Look at me! Judge me by my size, do you?

Flashbacks are weak.

It was a little jarring, but we are in a different era now. And the flashbacks work in the context to be a force vision. Although the OT never showed them onscreen, several force users had the same thing going on. We just saw it via them closing their eyes and internalising it.
I prefer the way Luke asks "Will they die?" and Yoda closes his eyes for a few seconds, glimpsing the future of Luke discarding his training to run off to save Han and Leia. Yoda KNOWS Han and Leia are being hurt to draw Luke out. He KNOWS Luke will still run off, but instead, he says: "Difficult to see. Always in motion, is the future", in the hope he can convince Luke to stay and keep training.
We didn't *see* a few fractured glimpses of Yoda's vision, but we didn't need to.
I think that's what's missing from newer movies. The film makers don't trust their audience enough to realise we can fill in a few blanks ourselves.

I suspect you will see a few HT prequel figures before too long...

Jar Jar, Ben Quadinaros and Kid Fett please.

The two-headed pod-race announcer and Jar-Jar. Classic OT Must-Haves!

Thank you for the hint! Always happy to get some news. Not sure if I will buy an Anakin figure though (seems like the most logical guess).

I would probably squeal like a schoolgirl on helium and then faint if HT announced Darth Maul.

Isn't there already a thread for this? I know he was at Celebration.

My bad, I even did quick search and didn't see it.

Re: Hot Toys: Royal Guard

Looks great for what it is, but I don't know if I can part with Hot Toys prices for this one given how relatively simple it is overall. Plus, I'd probably want two of them if I did, so this one lives pretty far down the list for me. Possibly so far down I never get to him/them.

Still, good news for all those Imperial collectors all the same.

A lovely looking figure, but at the moment there's too much on my want list. I'll try and pick this one up after I'm divorced.
