Hot Toys has recently announced a ton of new Star Wars sixth-scale figures, including most recently a new Cobb Vanth figure from The Mandalorian and a collection of droids from The Book of Boba Fett.
Now they’ve unveiled yet another new figure from a galaxy far, far away in the form of the upcoming Hot Toys Crosshair figure, based on the character from the Disney+ animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch.
If you haven’t seen the show before, Crosshair is a member of Clone Force 99, a special forces unit also known as “The Bad Batch.” These elite troopers often find themselves on the frontlines of the Clone Wars, often operating behind enemy lines and taking on missions that normal clones (which they dismissively refer to as “Regs”) are unwilling or unable to take on.
Crosshair is the team’s sniper, taking out targets from a distance and often operating in the shadows. In the show he’s known for his ice-cold demeanor, snarky attitude and willingness to do whatever it takes to complete the mission.
The new Hot Toys Crosshair sixth-scale figure stands at 11.8″ inches tall and includes 30 points of articulation. It also features a newly developed head sculpt and body, along with custom armor and helmet with weathering effects, a sniper rifle, a blaster pistol and display base.
The figure is expected to be released sometime in late 2023 or early 2024, but if you’re eager to get your hands on it, you can pre-order it now from Sideshow Collectibles.
What’s Included
According to Hot Toys, the upcoming Crosshair sixth-scale figure will include:
Accessories
- One new handpainted head sculpt with highly-accurate facial expression, detailed skin texture, tattoos and toothpick based on the character Crosshair from Star Wars: The Bad Batch
- One newly crafted Crosshair helmet with weathering effects
- Seven pieces of interchangeable gloved hands, including:
- One pair of rifle-holding hands
- One pair of relaxed hands
- One opened right hand
- Two gesturing left hands
- One military backpack, equipped with magnetic function
- Two thermal detonators
- Figure stand with Star Wars logo, character nameplate and graphic card
Costume
- One Crosshair armor with red markings, special signet, and weathering effects
- One black, multi-textured fabric under-suit
- One real leather belt with shoulder strap and pistol holster
Weapons
- One sniper rifle with attachable aiming device (rifle can be attached to backpack)
- Two interchangeable rifle muzzles
- Two interchangeable magazines
- One blaster pistol
Will there be other Hot Toys Star Wars: Bad Batch figures?
Crosshair isn’t the first member of the Bad Batch to get the Hot Toys treatment. In fact, he joins the ranks of several other teammates, including a sixth-scale version of Hunter, the grizzled scout and leader of Clone Unit 99, and an Echo figure, based on the team’s cybernetically-enhanced strategist. While Hot Toys has yet to announce any version of Wrecker and Tech (the two remaining members of the Bad Batch), chances are they’ll be coming down the pipeline sometime in the near future.
In the meantime, below are a few images showcasing the look and feel of the new Crosshair figure.
Final Thoughts
While we still have to wait a few months more before we can pull the trigger on Crosshair, if you’re a fan of Star Wars (and Bad Batch in particular) this looks one sixth-scale addition that would be perfect for your collection. It is likely to sell out quickly though (especially with overseas orders) so if you’re really hoping to get one you can pre-order it now from Sideshow Collectibles.
