Hot Toys has announced the release of a new 1/6th scale Droideka figure, showcasing meticulous articulation and metallic paintwork. This revealing coincides with the heightened popularity of Star Wars collectibles, following the release of figures for Anakin Skywalker and Darth Maul.
The renewed interest in the Star Wars universe is evident in the emergence of “The Acolyte,” a new series set 100 years before The Phantom Menace. Despite receiving critical praise, the series has failed to capture the audience’s attention, resulting in a low Rotten Tomatoes score. The cast includes notable actors like Lee Jung-jae, Amandla Stenberg, and Manny Jacinto.
Hot Toys has been steadily expanding its Star Wars offerings, shifting focus away from Marvel collectibles following the release of their Hayden Christensen-inspired Anakin Skywalker figure. This recent expansion follows the release of a collectible based on Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine character from the upcoming MCU film, Deadpool & Wolverine.
