Sideshow Collectibles’ Newest Hot Toys Release: Star Wars Favorites Unveiled
Sideshow Collectibles is once again capturing the hearts of Star Wars fans with their latest Hot Toys release. This time, they spotlight two iconic characters from different Star Wars stories: one from the acclaimed live-action series, The Mandalorian, and the other from the cherished animated series, Star Wars: The Bad Batch. Renowned for their meticulous attention to detail, Sideshow has consistently delivered figures that seem to leap straight from the screen, and their upcoming release continues this tradition by focusing on two beloved characters.
Celebrating Grogu and Tech
Grogu and Tech are central to their respective Star Wars narratives, each playing a vital role in their stories’ core dynamics. Sideshow is paying homage to these fan-favorites by crafting new Hot Toys figures. While Grogu has been immortalized in this form before, this release emphasizes his growth and mastery showcased in season 3, particularly through his use of the IG-12 mech suit. Meanwhile, the release marks Tech’s debut in the Hot Toys collection, celebrating a character whose noble sacrifice paved the way for a better future for his family.
