Feels like forever when I first picked up the the OG Sideshow PF. And honestly, I’m surprised nothing’s ever come close to it in the 17 years since. Hope that changes soon with this piece.
So is it Hot Toys you’re all really upset at or Filoni and company for lazily re-using the same armor files for the RC’s and Hunter? Because I don’t see what the issue is here.
Unless people have clearer pictures of the leaked image and can show me what’s inaccurate and/or lazy right now?
I know HT’s likes to be slick with re-using bases but have they ever lazily repainted a figure of something else and passed it off as a different character like that? Isn’t their whole thing accuracy?
I know this is standard for Hasbro toys but yeah, I can’t recall Hot Toys being this egregious...
At this point, the on-screen version may as well just be a Summer Showcase/Sideshow Con exclusive. Simple enough repaint. Plus with the amount of people saying how boring another Mando repaint always is, it’s an easy enough figure to throw in as one of their Con EX figures. Especially since they...
I generally will always prefer show accurate to custom ones but for this one time, I actually do prefer the Hot Toys version. Silver shoulder and gauntlets would’ve looked too plain on display. I like the usage of more red for this guy.
Only thing I prefer better from that screen shot...
