Quick question for the Hot Toys (or just general toy) experts on here. I’ve just started collecting Hot Toys Star Wars 1/6 scale figures and I’ve noticed on the Sideshow Collectibles website that there’s a Bespin Luke, Jedi Starfighter and R5-D4 amongst others, listed as ‘coming soon’, yet they appear to have been announced months (or even years) ago. My question is - how come these pieces appear to be stuck in limbo yet Hot Toys can announce and have a release date for figures from The Mandalorian with no delays?

It’s nice to see this piece rereleased, although I don’t want to disappear down the rabbit hole of collecting Marvel figures, despite me absolutely loving them. There’s no way I can afford these and the Hot Toys Star Wars figures too. Can anyone tell me how common is it for Hot Toys to rerelease older figures? I missed their Emperor Palpatine and ROTJ Luke but I’m hoping they’ll get rereleased in the future so I can avoid scalpers on eBay.

dukefett - thanks for answering my questions. The ‘coming soon’ stuff being prototypes makes sense now. I couldn’t imagine the cost of a sixth scale starfighter from Hot Toys. I might hang tight for the possible Mandalorian Luke, but I’m very tempted to stump up the money to get the retired version with the Endor costume too.

All I can say is good luck. |

Well pandemic has companies digging back in the catalogue and re-releasing some popular and after-market favorites. Don't collect the scale but Mark 1 was the my favorite version of War Machine.
Will have to be patient Cameron but you probably have a good shot in seeing some re-issues (maybe some with less accessories) for Star Wars, especially anything associated in timeline to the original 6 Lucas films/episodes. It's a cash-cow. Always predicted after the Infinity Saga ended the demand will be far less for future MCU things (Avengers Universe was always technically 3rd at best in terms of Marvel IP, exclude Spiderman). |
