HOT TOYS STAR WARS 1/6 SCALE ACTION FIGURES

It has been a very long wait for another trilogy since the last 6 episodes of StarWars being released. The first 3 episodes were the defining moment in the history of sci fi movies and I’m talking about Episode IV to VI and not I to III. The later 3 chapters were a letdown mostly due to the overly used of CGI methodology in movie making. Things get a bit out of hand when some of the Episode IV to VI shots were re-edited with addition of new CGI footage. Some may welcome it with excitement but purist hated and cursed it till the end of time.

Nevertheless, Episode I to III is critical in telling the story of Anakin Skywalker as ‘The Chosen One’ and how he became the infamous Darth Vader who eventually brought down the Empire. Well, come to think of it, he is really ‘The Chosen One’ to bring balance to the Force. Star Wars eventually has become a cash cow juggernaut with the release of The Force Awakens. 

As we all would have imagine, Hot Toys has already spewing out chunks of 1/6 scale Star Wars collectible action figures for preorder non-stop nowadays. Before Hot Toys was even in the Star Wars line, Sideshow Collectibles has already released an impressive portfolio of Star Wars characters ranging from 1/6 scale, 1/4 scale premium format and all the way to life size scale.

There are quite a substantial amount of preorder releases to keep track and think about before we even dive into the Star Wars line. Just by collecting the 1/6 scale droids/troopers from Star Wars are going to be overwhelming. If you think Hot Toys are throwing out Ironman way too frequent then you can collect, you have no idea how much stuff that they can throw at us with the Star Wars. E.g. vehicles, replicas, props, action figures, aliens, creatures, etc. Not forgetting we haven’t even see the remaining Episodes VIII and IX. Disney will sure milk the last drop out of Star Wars for next 5 years with movies, toys, merchandise, theme park rides, etc.

As for now, let us just have a look at these upcoming 1/6 scale Star Wars action figures from Hot Toys. 

PRIME 1 STUDIO TMNT CASSICS

We are about to get a chance to see another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and it could be fun and certainly a throwback from how it all started. Well, we can cherish the old classic TMNT now and it is from Prime 1 Studio. These guys looks very nice but I wish it could be a little bit more dynamic action pose since it is a statue. If these are the final pose, I guess a lot of collectors will be waiting for the 1/4 NECA action figure.

Frankly this could have been as good or better than what Good Smile has given us and I personally think those statues were spectacular. Check out the good old smile below.
