1/6 NEXT Hot Toys STAR WARS Figure...?

[chrisstbh]

Con exclusives are usually niche figures though. They seem to be variants of something already out. Bespin escape Leia would be a good one. Cobb Vanth should get a regular release if he shows up in Boba Fett show.

But you could technically say that Vanth is just a Boba variant

Again, there's like 3 or 4 Mando characters they can still make. It's down to Cobb Vanth, Migs Mayfield, Cara Dune, Greef Karga, Koska Reeves and Kuiil. There's a proto for one, another was fired and banished from Star Wars, I doubt Karga warrants a figure. Fennec they'll save for Book of Boba, if they make her at all.

Koska Reeves and Cobb Vanth are probably easy makes for Hot Toys using pieces from other figures. And Kuill has a prototype. Outside of those three, I think the well is dried up. Maybe they surprise us with Mayfield. Who knows.

I think we'll definitely see some 212th Troopers after the 501st and Coruscant guys drop. They probably don't want to overload Clones and make people cancel orders. Maybe they squeak another PT figure like Windu in with them. It's anyone's guess right now.

The rest of the year should be pretty open for Hot Toys. Whatever Black Widow figures they're going to announce are probably ready to go. I doubt they make much from Loki or What If from Marvel. Bad Batch, maybe they complete the team, maybe they won't. I'm sure they'll make a bunch of Shang Chi figures to capitalize on the Asian market. But overall it should be a bit slower for them to catch up on production and maybe announce a few curveballs we've been waiting for, and not just from Mando.

I think the Armorer is right behind Kuiil in terms of probability. I think Koska has a 0% chance of happening, unless she's big into the other seasons. I'd love a Greef or Migs but don't see them happening either.

Cobb Vanth seems like it has potential as one of those con exclusives.

Like 99% of Con exclusive guesses haven't panned out lately lol. Hot Toys usually does 4 per year. The last two years it has been an Iron Man repaint, a Stan Lee, a reissue (Two-Face/Whiplash), and a Spider-Man (2099/Scarlet Spider). 2018 had a Neon Iron Man, Concept Captain America, T'chaka and Dark Side Anakin. I'd like to think they'll do a Star Wars one again, but who knows. If they do, I don't think it'll be one that requires much work, as in a brand new headsculpt.

I can already hear the cries of anguish if Hot Toys were to release a Cobb Vanth figure but with no extra head sculpt. Just the helmet head...

Could see that happening.

HT doesn't have a lanky enough body for Cobb Vanth to look right. He should look like a scarecrow with a pale over his head.

Hot Toys doesn't care anymore. They made Bo Katan look like a man for **** sake. They will just use whatever body they have in the bin for Cobb, and they will put a fatsuit on him.

Bro Katan and Cobb Vantha

Jabba the Slut

Jabba the Slut

You can now pick up a 1/10 Jabba from Iron Studios but it's $540. Makes the Sideshow price seem not so bad.

Jabba the Slut

Changes the whole meaning of Leia's new moniker: Slutslayer

That Iron Studios statue should be called Jabba the Scrot-Sack. He is one super-wrinkly dude.

At least they got the arm size close to right though.

Yea, but if they do a Cobb Vanth, they need to do a head sculpt. I mean they can do that with just the helmet, but I won't buy it unless it comes with a head sculpt.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Something off with the face/head...

Could be that second rendition of the Special Edition Jabba, when he visits the Falcon and Han steps on his tail...

 

[Wor-Gar]

It does seem like some hybrid... like a younger Jabba.

So a white pail then??

Good catch. That's exactly what it looks like, the second SE Jabba (later DVD release, not the weirdly rounded looking Jabba from theatrical SE.)

Way too many lines/wrinkles, and yet as Wor says, seeming a bit younger for some reason.

Blast otto correct!!!

I wonder if Cobb Vanth will show up in the Boba Fett show.

I dunno. I could see Boba making extremely short work of him, if Vanth dares to cross him. I mean like, three seconds: dead.
