I wouldn’t say they are notorious about it. But there are quite a few items that yet to see the light of day. Sometimes protoypes are gauge collector interest. This is Princess Leia, so I doubt Hot Toys passes on her. They did the Bespin gown Leia, so Endor Leia extremly probable. I would also like to see Hot Toys produce a Jabba’s prisoner Leia, but there has been an unoficial moratorium on the character since Disney bought Lucasfilm. So older solicited can get into production. For example Director Crenick from Rogue One was previewed quite some time ago, but just recently went up for preorder.
If you check the comments in the Hot Toys Facebook page, you will see you comments on requesting figures that are prugatory.
Items I can think of that were not, or haven’t been solicited since teased. It might interesting to start another thread listing unproduced items
