I looked at the Sideshow website and they have the TLJ Leia up for possible release in Q1 of next year. So in terms of what @JetJockeyis saying, that it will be a while before we get either Endor Luke and Leia (if it ever gets made not to mention that the ROTJ Luke and ESB Leia was just released).

I won't be surprised if the Bespin Gown Leia doesn't get made after it was teased at this years SDCC.

The only vehicle release that I know of is the Endor Speeder Bike (now out) and the upcoming Blood Fin for Darth Maul (A Deluxe Package).   

I think the Hoth Leia came out early this year. I'm hoping that Endor Luke goes up soon since they keep showing him at shows and hinted at that accessory thing in the manual. The Speeder bike is from Sideshow not Hot Toys. I keep reminding myself to check and see if anyone attempted to put the Jedi Luke on the Speeder on Sideshow Collectors forum. Since Sideshow has a Jedi Luke figure I imagine he will work better on the Speeder than the Hot Toys version. The scale of Sideshow vs Hot Toys figures seems to be a bit off. I saw one youtube review that compared I think the Darth Vader figures before.

For those who have the HT ROTJ ERG, here are some pics. I'm mirroring them from the 1/6th thread on the TFW2005 forums.

I know that the Star Wars: Black Series 3/75 inch has more accessories like the pistol and holster (as per the 6 inch one as well) and the double bladed staff as per the Dark Horse EU Comics: Crimson Empire (now deemed non-cannon according to the House of Mouse), I guess that you can't win them all.

Edit: Here's the review by Justin's collectables.

I saw some of the Black Series figures in stores and wasn't impressed. I guess they are ok for kids to play with. Perhaps a bit higher end than normal figures. But nothing compared to Hot Toys. Actually I wasn't impressed with any of the new Star Wars toys. Not the figures or packaging.

 

I pretty much ignore Star Wars stuff now for the Star Wars stories that I like. So I prefer the stuff that introduced Mara Jade and a few of the better books and comics from back then. I watched The Force Awakens a few times. Posted a short review around here. Watched The Last Jedi twice to be sure of the garbage I was watching. And from that, I know there is nothing the final movie can do to make me display anything from the new trilogy. I was tempted depending on The Last Jedi to get a Hot Toys Force Awakens Rey. I was going to paint the sand base white because I did like that snow fight. But there is no way the next movie will be anywhere near as good as Return of the Jedi.

I'm way behind in giving you guys an update in regards to the upcoming (or about to be released) 1/6th figures as I am focusing to get my certificate in Property Management with other two courses to go. There has been various uploads of 1/6th figures done by Toys TV HK on their YouTube channel (in Cantonese) and I might suggest you to also take a peek in there along with other 1/6th reviewers on YouTube.

I've been waiting for this one - Threezero's take on Agent Mulder from X-Files (going to get this after the HT ESB Fett if my funds don't run out that is).

Edit: Two hours later..

I'll toss in Fwoosh's review also.

Shocking that this new and recently shown Empire Leia goes up for pre-order before Endor Luke or Leia which were shown last year. I'm concerned now as I wanted those Endor versions.

Can anyone ID the artist or find a good image of that Kei Dirty Pair artwork in the background (top left) during that Kylo Ren review?

I thought Hot Toys was going to get into more retro comic characters. I read somewhere that they were going to make Batgirl to go with their 66 Batman and Robin. If Batgirl happened I assumed Lynda Carter Wonder Woman would as well. But Hot Toys hasn't released the 66 Batmobile yet so I guess that line might be finished now.

Don't forget that some products that any 1/6th companies display during the shows will not get made at all. Just sift back a few pages and there are some examples.

I hate it when they show something and then don't make it. I'm still waiting on Endor Luke and Leia. I don't know who really wants that Empire dress Leia. But at least we will get an Empire Han Solo. I think I prefer an Empire Han over Endor Han. Maybe. All Hot Toys needs to show is Endor Luke, Han, and Leia. That's a $600+ guaranteed set for me.

I remember the days when I would check Budget Stark's youtube to see what new figures were at Hot Toys' Secret Base store. And look forward to ClipperKing's early reviews even if I wasn't buying a figure just to see it and for pose ideas. I'm pretty much down to a few figures I want now. Hot Toys needs to find a new or old franchise to get into. Or start releasing more second versions of figures now that their sculpting likeness is better. I saw they are taking orders on an updated Stormtrooper. They can make a better Reeve Superman, Predator Dutch, and Indiana Jones now. Make a Predator 2 Harrigan as well. Maybe a double Maria Conchita figure for both Predator 2 and Running Man.
