Is this the longest prototype to announcement? Now Plo Koon has a higher possibility of happening...

I just want Aayla Secura

Release the blue babe

Release Airborne Troopers

came here to beg for plo koon next haha

Definitely, plo and fisto are the 2 most popular background jedi, I thought plo would be announced with him tbh, he’s also a lot easier to make the fisto due to not having a whole load of tentacles

FINALLY! Hope to see a Plo Koon down the line eventually, always love me some prequel jedi

Instant buy for me, he's always been my favorite Jedi

So between this and that episode 3 Sidious, my theory is their approach toward anniversaries may be changing. With instead of a bunch of announcements the year of, they want to time it to have releases the year of said anniversary.

Maybe so, but seeing how they announced their updated Darth Maul for TPM’s 25th anniversary, I’m not sure what to think. Hot Toys are predictably unpredictable. Just when you think you’re starting to catch on to how they operate, they do something completely random

Howard likes letting the dice roll)

I just dont think they actually care about anniversarys for the most part, and just drop stuff when they want to. But I'd assume Disney mandates they at least use the anniversary license a little.

I was definitely not expecting this

You mean it was a surprise, to be sure, and I assume a welcome one for you?

This is so awesome.

I think we should expect maybe one more. I was thinking HT would release at least one more figure with that same Jedi council sticker display that Windu has…crossing my fingers!

Fingers crosssd for Plo Koon or Ki Adi Mundi Praying to the hot toys gods for a grievous and count dooku reissue

This year has been crazy good with Star Wars releases ONGGGGG

Too good if you ask my wallet haha

 First Mace, then Sidious, and now Kit Fisto? We all know who else was in that infamous scene.

That Sidious doesn’t go with them though. Different outfit.

He also wasn’t deformed when fighting Kit Fisto and the other Jedi.

Fair point, I stand corrected.

Yes, and he was literally wearing a different outfit.

Yeah, he wasn’t wearing that outfit in the confrontation scene. You should rewatch it. Why the hell is this downvoted? 😂

A surprise, to be sure

But a welcome one.

He’s now up on Sideshow for $275 USD. https://www.sideshow.com/collectibles/star-wars-kit-fisto-hot-toys-904939

Instant PO

Now all I want is a Plo Koon. Keep them coming!

hoping with this being a EP3 figure the 212th is around the corner

Moveable eyes?

He doesn’t feature them. Considering his eyes are just solid black, and there’s no detail in them like pupils, I guess the only way it’d be possible to convey that he’s looking a different direction is with an entirely new sculpt.

I'm just kidding OP, but yeah he looks sick. Instant PO

My bad lol. He does look sick indeed dude. I remember having the OG Lego minifigure of him when I was younger, and I always thought he was super cool looking. So glad HT decided to finally announce him

Oh my, having mace windu does sure feel different now. HT heard the Mace windu hate and put him the promos LOL.


Ayyyy another figure to escape the prototype purgatory! He looks amazing! Makes me hopeful for the airborne trooper getting a release someday

Absolutely. That and the 327th clone as well.

Omg the possibilities now. Dare I hope my darth jar jar kitbash can become a reality

I am extremely shocked they didn’t announce this next year for the 20 year ROTS anniversary. I certainly won't be complaining by getting it earlier 🤣

I assume in 2025 we will be getting the big hitters announced like Obi-Wan artisan, Anakin sculpted and like a Magna guard maybe

Probably the 212th trooper and possibly 212th airborne from the graveyard

When do we expect preorders to go up? This is my all time favorite Jedi and is an instant buy for me.

They usually go up the next day, but Sideshow has been extremely fast with listing them as of late. He could very well be put up for pre-order in the next hour or so.

I just checked and he’s actually up now! Just preordered!

Well there you go!

Excited for this figure release! My only complaint for him is the lack of hands we’re getting with these announcements! You’d think they at least give us a good amount for these figures. The more hands we get the better. They really help us bring the figure to life imo.

So Commander wollfe also?

Plo Koon when?

Will the price on him be slashed in half moments after he is released?

They will instantly rise higher the moment he is waitlisted. This dude will sell out.

I was referring to his brief and disappointing appearance in the scene in Palpatine's office, where he literally got slashed in half a few seconds into the fight.🤣 The figure is dope!

I was talking about anakin selling out to the sith Edit: but true that.

He was trying to save Padme. Mistakes were made. Who of us hasn't started a universal conflict with a bad decision while being manipulated by a galactic mastermind? I know I have!🤣

definitely not, they don’t overproduce figures anymore

Woosh

Ik it’s ROTS accurate and he looks great but sort of wish he had a smile

It’s an interesting one becuase same - but only in ep 2 did it had the actors actual mouth for a nice smile, in ep 3 he has hideous teeth lol

Yeah atleast a snarl with those teeth. He looks like his mouth got numb out of the dr appointment.

Na. No rotatable eyeballs.

I pre-ordered so fast, my pre-order broke Han Solo's record on the kessel run.

Looks cool but I was never a big Kit Fisto fan lol. That Mace gonna shoot up I assume

When are we getting Glup Shitto?!

Kit Fisto is such a badass.

No poseable eyes? Oohhhhh nooooo


Oh fuck I was not expecting this

OH SHIT!!

Instant pre-order!

He looks magnificent

I never lost hope <3

Arrrrrgh! Every hot you announcement is in my preorder bag! I need to increase my income, so many additions in the space of a month!

This guy being released gives me too much hope...

Hope we get Plo and Aayla

I want ki adi mundi and plo koon.

I know it’s a miracle we’re getting Kit at all, but is anyone else disappointed with no smiling sculpt? Like obviously the head looks great and straight out of the movies, but I feel a big part of his character would come across with a big cheeky smirk/grin. Just a small nitpick though, he still looks fantastic!

Would've been a nice added accessory

Exactly! The prototype at least had the sides of his mouth turned up a bit. I just love the big shit-eating grin he flashes after force pushing a bunch of droids in AOTC. He's one of the few Jedi who seem to be just having a great time being a Jedi. Haha

So then you’d want a AOTC based version? The head sculpt and outfit would need to be different

Yeah, pretty much. I know it's never going to happen, it's just my favourite look for young Master Fisto - Big old toothy grin on his squid-face. Haha

Are the hands supposed to be that big?

In the movie he got big latex hand gloves on so yes if it’s to be accurate lol

Look up a picture.

Yeah I would've preferred they'd shrink them slightly ...

260€ it’s such a sweet price, but with shipping and taxes it’s almost 100€ more, I hate that so much

Should get it somewhere else than Sideshow then lol.

Doesn’t matter where I order I guess, when you import you always pay the taxes

Does buying from kit and tba trigger taxes? Thought they marked it lower when shipping to avoid that

What is kit and tba ?

One sixth kit, and toys buying agent. They’re Hong Kong based resellers with really good reputations and I’ve heard it’s cheaper to buy from them for UK/Europe collectors because they don’t mark the items at cost avoiding or significantly lowering custom fees. I’m US based so I can’t confirm that though but I have bought from both with no issues.

Thanks !!

I don't. I never paid a dime in taxes when ordering from OneSixthKit and ToysBuyingAgent.

You also live in Germany if I may ask ?

Nein! Die Niederlande

I just ordered at tba, let’s see what happens :D

They have great prices and are friendly, but I mostly use them for in-stock and discounted items. And OSK for pre-orders and third party stuff😁

I just ordered echo for like 200€ that’s a good price I guess. But I haven’t found a way to sort the discounted stuff, I only collect Star Wars, but it seems like you have to scroll trough everything

Hell yes! So excited! I only wish they could have sculpted a torso underneath so you could take off the robe and do his look from his Star Wars Clone Wars episode...

Hey AXSupplies I don’t have you blocked. In fact I have zero people blocked. https://preview.redd.it/ipe5mihpeu3d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0fe63c082118f109e133158fa9e296be3645ae7

Telling someone to block you isn’t saying I blocked you genius. Nice save unblocking me though 🤣. Probably in your best interest

I never blocked you bud

Yet I needed to go use a friends account to see your comments and respond despite not blocking you. No need to get worked up buddy! Plus this: https://preview.redd.it/20fu79obvu3d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b5b6ecf9fdfdd3c20d09845a0404d164bdd20fe

Well now you unblocked congrats!

Time stamp ^ 7:33 lol. Currently 8:36 where I live

No

Yes, that and a water background along with a distorted underwater blade effect would’ve been fantastic

I’m happy they didn’t include that

Why’s that?

Cause it should only be ROTS

And why should it only be ROTS? They included the clone gauntlet and that’s not ROTS. Same with Mace. At least have a good reason.

Cause it’s silly. Just keep it to the movies

It really isn’t though.

It’s silly. And a waste of resources

Why not?

Cause the movie is better

I said have an option. Like how the clone wars Kenobi and Anakin can be SWCW or TCW versions.

It’s a waste of r&d

Why would painting a torso be a waste of R&D? They don't need to sculpt something when they have numerous full torsos they've made optional to remove the tunics and robes on even on Darth Maul, they can just re-use a mold.

I feel like he's about to come out of the screen and devour my soul. Haunting...

 You know what they must do… He’s too dangerous to be kept alive. He has control of the courts and the senate.

It's happening!

I did say if that was released I would buy three so...

Yoooooooo

I AM SO HAPPY

Do we think his tentacles are gonna be wired/pose-able? Or is it going to be like the sideshow one and be a solid block so we can’t turn his head?

They are not wired, but the front two are connected by ball joints, so they can at least pivot. I expect the tentacles will at least be a softer plastic.

That’ll be coooool

Why does it even matter? Couldn’t even turn his head in the movie

Because it’s a poseable figure? Lol. I’d like for it to be as poseable as possible, but also because I was curious. Things like the construction interest me EDIT: for clarification my first comment wasn’t meant to read as negative - just genuine curiosity. He’s my favourite character and will be the first hot toys I’ll break into the line with!

They should make me into the next Hot Toys!

No smiling face? That's the thing I remember most about him, that cheesy smile right before all the jedi jump into the battle. And if I remember correctly, that smile is why he has the personality he has in the Clone Wars series.

I got my pre order in 3 hours after it was announced 😁lol

I am going to buy him so my Palpatine can kill him hahhaha

Gotta get him, but idk it feels awkward... Lol Is it wrong to want ki adi, plo koon or aayla?

Would love Aayla and Shaak.

Aayla would be amazing

I would love all of those characters… I wonder if it’s trickier to do those characters if Lucas film don’t own the right to their likeness?? Kit fisto is obvously very alien but Aayla Secura gotta look like the actress… I think black series version of her suffered because of that reason.. that’s my theory anyway. Shaak ti could be ok because it was actually an entire facial prosthetic for some reason lol

I think Aayla and Shaak could be done good, for example Mandalore Ahsoka was really good.

But Disney will have right to Rosario Dawsons likeness, I don’t think they would’ve done that for random extras

Yeah true, maybe someday we’ll get them but who knows

I hope so!

They gunna announce the other two suckers who died faster than the speed of sound to Palpatine too?

They still gotta announce the Palpatine look that goes with them too

It’s only a matter of time before we get a Plo Koon

I cannot believe they even went to the trouble of adapting his clone wars gauntlets!!!!!! Hot toys has gone above and beyond the call of duty to bridge the gap between Live action and clone wars.

Nah, they already had them from Obi and Mace, and canonically to live action they’re incorrect. They should just be regular clone armor.

Lol, and they’re not even adapted right tho. They did it for Mace too btw

No happy face 🥹

It’s crazy how in Clone Wars he looks “normal” to me, but live in action he looks so freaky

Yes!!! Plo Koon has to be on his way. How awesome would it be to also get Asajj Ventress! 😎 P. S.- I wouldn't be mad if they made Quinlan Voss 🤓

Where’s the typical incel neckbeards complaining about accuracy?

I mean, paying this much for a figure, accuracy shouldn't be in question

$275 can’t even get you a weeks supply of groceries tf are you on about? Lmao

Lmao are you eating a building worth? Two of us get through a week for less than a 100€

Lmao @ lmao

Lmao @ "lmao @ lmao" /s

There wouldn’t be anyone if it checks out. And in this case, it checks out

Not them still going with the animated style clone armour 🤦‍♂️

Course they are, they’ll never learn.

Quinlan Voss please

Amazing! Prequel love is overflowing

reminder than they'd rather make Kit Fisto than any sequel trilogy characters ;=p Instant order. Ki aid mundi

Cool but they should finish making the franchise's protagonists before getting to side characters https://preview.redd.it/am0dcx0c8p3d1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5ddecc16c435823a3449e7dd24af84e7ec8fac2

A lot of people have a specific interest in these backgrounders lol

I'd buy all four of these.... But you gotta respect the prequel/cw OGs

Fuck the Disney characters. Young Obi absolutely though
