yeah depending if the character has been sold, if it’s a new character of course they can make any size they want. Why you think they want to get out of the clone wars. they’d have lawsuits forever.

They are all 1/7 scale stop lying to people. Have you compared the two vader’s or any of them? They are so small they look ridiculous with the older Action Series or SSC or Hot Toys. They are not to scale. It would be illegal for Disney to make 1/6 scale first of all, so stop telling people they are. They are 10 inch.

They are 10-12″ depending on the character

The shirt here is definitely higher cut than with the movie costume. Also looks much more stark white, while in the movie it blends in more with the sash (at least at the collar and sleeves). In the screen shots from the film, her sash is also much closer in color to her pants and arm wraps than on this figure.

Hot Toy are amazing in my opinion, but I couldn’t agree more with your statement that these are different companies with different goals. I am also fairly certain the Disney figures don’t come anywhere close to Hot Toys in price.

My guess is that HT/Sideshow could care less if there were competing 12″ SW figures. The type of people who would buy these as an alternative to HT (because of the affordable price point) are not buying HT anyways…and the people who do buy HT are not going to be won over by something that costs 40, no matter how good it turns out.
