Some try to sound sensational to say that but evidence say otherwise, so no

Not quite dead, but in pretty rough shape, if merch sales are anything to go by. Every discount outlet I go to is flooded with SW merch, and even Targets and Walmarts have a hard time moving Original Trilogy stuff, let alone anything newer.

Instant preorder for him. Love the detailing and weathering. Looks like a Hot Toys Hera is teased in the images too.

I see what you mean. Y’all bringing up kids’ toys to an adult premium collectible thread. It’s not the same. Shelves won’t be flooded with Hot Toys

I preordered him and Sabine.

Just because a company makes something from a franchise doesn't mean it's popular. HT just released a sixth 1/6 item from The Flash movie. At this point it's not even an argument that the film was a complete financial disaster.

Since you love evidence so much, there appears to be plenty of it in Sideshow's warehouse. You've got Lando, Rex, Jango, Snowspeeder Luke and plenty others just sitting there while SSC offers them up with free shipping and occasional Deals of the Day. Yeah, sure, figures are being waitlisted now. That's only because SSC is offering less (with the exception of that blatant scalper-bait Anakin figure of course).

I have a HT 1/4 Vader I (essentially) tried giving away for free. No takers.

You label The Black Series and Vintage Collection as "kids toys" when that's blatantly false (don't pretend you were referring to a different Hasbro line).

There hasn't been a new Star Wars film in four years.

Disney just closed the Galactic Cruiser (or whatever it's called).

Ahsoka, if it hasn't already, will be revealed as another ratings disaster.

Star Wars is dead. Just because a few clapping seals orgasm over Rex being brought into live action and HT makes something the remaining fanbase actually wants doesn't mean everything's okay.

Snowspeeder Luke, CW Ahsoka, Jango Fett, CW Anakin, CW Maul and Lando f****** Calrissian were announced three years ago and are still available. Which means they've been sitting in a Sideshow warehouse for-and I'm being very generous here-at least eighteen months with heavy discounts being offered on-and-off for at least a year.

But yeah, Star Wars is fine.
