The mischevious droid BT-1 and Starkiller are getting the Hot Toys figure treatment!
Last month, Hot Toys announced a new exhibition in Asia – Star Wars: The Power of the Dark Side. The promo poster for the event revealed new figures like Starkiller and Revan while also showcasing already announced figures and figures that had been displayed before but not announced like the Fifth Brother and the Fourth Sister. With the exhibition starting this week in Hong Kong, Hot Toys has announced two figures to celebrate the beginning of this tour. First, Lord Starkiller as showcased on the poster. He’s from the Legends video game The Force Unleashed. People who preorder him at the event will receive a special commemoration coin. And the second figure is an unexpected surprise – BT-1 (Beetee) who has appeared in several comics. His acolyte 0-0-0 (Triple-Zero) is even teased in the promotional pictures. Only time will tell if he also gets announced. But with Hot Toys further exploring the canon comics, could this mean we might get a Doctor Aphra one day?
