So, I'm an idiot thinking about getting into Star Wars Hot Toys, but wanted to get a lay of the land first.

Are there any figures that should be essential to any collection that've slid out of print without any hope for a reissue? Have they really not made an Empire Han yet? What's the difference between these and Sideshow's 1/6th-scale figures?

Episode 4 Leia comes to mind; she was still cheap when Carrie died, then it jumped in price.

Main difference is quality .hot toys are just better; better detailing in the face, higher quality cloth, more focus on articulation and detailing. Sideshow still makes respectable collectibles, and the difference is less noticeable on armored figures with helmets. They can coexist, but HT just has better releases overall

So kinda like the difference between the Black Series and Figuarts (but maybe not such a severe difference)?

I got into thinking about these when I saw that the Sideshow 1/6 figure of Ben Kenobi in his half-Ewan/half-Guinness state in between Episodes III and IV is supposed to hit soon, and got to thinking who I'd pair him with at that scale if I picked him up.

Then that got me thinking about the Hot Toys figures for the rest of the Episode IV cast - it looks like that, out of all of them, 3PO is the only one out of print? Weird.

Anyway, ideally if I only invested in one version of each figure, I'd like Empire Han, Luke, Leia and Vader, that new deluxe R2, and whatever version of 3PO I could get my hands on. (And at that rate, I guess I'd be an idiot to not eventually grab an Empire Boba Fett, too.)

that deluxe boba fett is great because his appearance can be altered from his ESB look to his ROTJ look. It's like two figures in one.

Looks like Anakin to me - at least as much as anyone else looks like their actors.

Interesting - that's not so much the ROTJ Fett that you can turn that figure into as much as it's the pre-production version of Fett that was put together before filming on Empire started (and which was changed quite a bit before filming actually began) and that Lucasfilm mysteriously reverted back to for unknown reasons for ROTJ (though they never brought back the pointy ears painted on the helmet or the old version of the Mandalorian symbol without the tusks).

that Leia looks pretty cute.

If I were still in the market for HT, I'd get her.

Bespin Luke Set if you can get it for a good deal, set comes with two Lukes (One clean and one "battle damaged") and the antenna thing he hangs off of at the end. Got mine off Mandy and love it.

Yeah, that's THE one version of Luke I'd like to get, if I could only get one.

What are the chances Hot Toys reissues Bespin Luke for ESB's 30th anniversary? Did they do any ANH reissues last year?

Hot Toys doesn't really reissue toys that old, they'll most likely do a new version since that's the last major Luke they haven't done yet.

Have they done new versions of all the other Lukes? Bespin Luke is the only one without a revision?

Weird question - do all Hot Toys figures come with stands, or is that something you need to find yourself?
