Everyone’s favourite insurgent is lastly getting the Hot Toys remedy because the Hong Kong producer has introduced the most recent determine of their Ahsoka line – Chopper! And he wasn’t the one Rebel revealed as in addition they sneaked in a fast tease of Hera Syndulla within the preview pictures.
Showcasing the determine on Facebook,Hot Toys wrote:
A beat-up, patched collectively astromech droid courting again to the Clone Wars, C1-10P — or Chopper —is a dependable droid who has served with Hera Syndulla for many years. Loyal to a fault, with a cranky character to match his weathered end, in the course of the age of the Empire, Chopper served the Ghost crew in every part from ship upkeep to undercover missions and fight.
Continuing to broaden the Ahsoka collectible sequence, Hot Toys is happy to current the 1/sixth scale Chopper collectible determine!
The collectible determine is specifically crafted with extremely detailed mechanical development physique and LED light-up operate, superb paint functions, attachable arms and wheel leg. More detailed equipment together with Professor Huyang hologram miniature and a monitoring gadget.
This nice little droid is definitely going to be an exquisite addition to your Star Wars assortment!
Speaking personally, that is the droid I’ve been ready for! I actually hope that Hot Toys goes all in and offers us the total Rebels line up from Ahsoka (and The Mandalorian if Zeb doesn’t make an look in subsequent week’s season finale), however Chopper is the one I’ve been determined to see. I simply love this little droid and I’m glad to say that he seems each bit as implausible as Sabine did earlier this month.
The mixture of the poseable dome and the interchangeable components give the determine a lot character, and loads of show choices, you’ll be able to actually really feel his character coming by within the pictures. Besides the interchangeable components, Chopper is a bit gentle on equipment, however he does include a number of good touches from Ahsoka together with the monitoring disc he makes use of on Corellia and a hologram of Huyang. Having just lately obtained Hot Toys Attack of the Clones R2-D2, which will be seen alongside Chopper within the gallery under, I can safely say that their droids feel and appear unbelievable in hand. There’s only a actually satisfying weight to them and so they have nice shelf presence, particularly alongside different characters as they add a pleasant selection to a show.
Hot Toys description states that Chopper options gentle up LEDs, so the one issues I’d say are lacking from this launch are a base, which all of Hot Toys’ earlier R2-D2 releases have additionally been missing, and sound results. The absence of sound results truthfully stunned me since Hot Toys included them on R2-D2 and Chopper’s distinctive voice is such huge a part of his character. Hot Toys have been identified to make final minute modifications and enhancements, from including Rey’s yellow lightsaber for her The Rise of Skywalker determine to fully re-working head sculpts on others, so there’s an opportunity they might add sound results if sufficient followers ask for it, however even with out them Chopper is a implausible trying determine.
And he’s not the one determine they confirmed. Or at the very least partially confirmed. As talked about firstly of this text, Hot Toys additionally gave a primary glimpse at Hera Syndulla in Chopper’s preview pictures. Now, this doesn’t imply that Hera is assured, sadly Hot Toys have teased loads of figures in preview pictures that finally by no means noticed launch, however given the recognition of each the Rebels heroes and the Ahsoka sequence, it appears fairly cheap to imagine Hera will make it to collector’s cabinets within the not too distance future.
Chopper will be pre-ordered now at Sideshow Collectibles and different retailers, and is because of launch within the second half of 2024.
