Reminder this is a thread about toys. Don't fall for bait or feed the trolls.

First for Willrow Hood.

I didn't even know Pulse shipped this out but he's pretty dang cool. Real easy to pose and the head has surprisingly good range too.

>>11443499
Dang he looks kind of badass in that pose. Never really thought about doing action poses with him.

>>11443502
I know he's a pacifist but it's hard not to want to put him in an action stance when he comes with that blaster.

>>11443455 (OP)
THIS THREAD BELONGS TO THE BEDLAM RAIDERS

>>11443793
Survivor is probably the most toyetic Star Wars media since the prequels and clone wars. I want every single thing from it.

>>11443499
Overpriced

>>11443793
We'll see about that

>>11443802
Me too Anon. There are so many figures they could make even just from the Bedlam Raiders alone. I'm glad we're at least getting Merrin now

>>11443793
>>11443802
Hasbro definitely needs to repack the purge trooper from Fallen Order since we are getting more Survivor figures now. Ideally they could either release multiple for the different weapon variants and a repaint for the commander or they could just add the stun batons and hammer to the existing staff trooper and make it a deluxe box. It would be even better to get an updated body using the new phase II clone armor mold as a base but I'm not going to get my hopes up for something like that.

>>11443810
Turgle and Skoova were a pleasant surprise, I never thought that would happen. But I think that's as deep as they will go with the alien npcs. Caij Vanda would be sick though.

>>11443813
I got the commander recently. Forgot how shitty the old clone body is. Also they made the hammer variant already in the Amazon exclusive 3 pack. So only the batons left now. If they ever do it, I'm afraid they will use the same old body to remain consistent. One on the new mold would be amazing though. I love the purge trooper design.

>>11443825
I'm happy that we're getting Turgle, though I wish he had fully articulated limbs and was also available in TVC too. I'd love to see Caij Vanda too. Rayvis would also be sick. And some freaking creatures would be great considering they are common as enemies.

The Yuuzhang Vong were the worst things about Star Wars Legends

Prove me wrong

>>11444126
Uncle Owen killing Maul with a blaster.

>>11444126
I only read some wookieepedia pages about that era but I thought the idea was cool, I don't see what makes it le bad. Also is that real I didn't know there was a TVC Vong figure

If anyone is interested, TVC Blurrg and Mando two pack is under 30 dollars on Amazon right now. I picked one up at that price.

>>11444126
If we're counting vidya, then TOR is the worst thing about Legends.
If not, then the Holiday Special is.
If we're only counting comics and books, then it's either The Courtship of Princess Leia or The Glove of Darth Vader.

OBJECTIVELY the best piece of content form the Legends era is this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg_FoEy8T_A

>>11444157
About 5 years too late.... I have SPOKEN!!!

>>11444147
Card is a custom but they made a Comic 2 Pack with Kyle Katarn. There was also the leader made as a fan favorite back in the day.

I also read up on Wookiepedia about the long over arcing war and just found it to be too much.
It's like Klingon and Borg jumped to Star Wars and ruined the 'fun' of the Star Wars mythos. Invaders that were Force immune and their designs were too edgy even for 90-00s standards.

It strayed too far from the core of SW

>>11444135
Han shooting Cloned Emperor with a blaster

>>11444171
>TOR is the worst thing about Legends
Based. I never got into old republic either though the cinematic trailers were pretty kino

>>11444183
>It is time to enter the child

>>11444157
I got two when Amazon put them up for preorder at $24 by mistake. Definitely worth it.

>>11444183
What comic series is that even from? Jeeze

>>11444285
Damn, I wish I would of saw that error. I would of loved to picked it up for that price. I can't complain about 29.50, but 24 dollar's is even better.

>>11444287
They corrected it pretty fast but luckily they have the pre-order price guarantee so they honored it. I was only going to get one originally, but figured might as well get another for Kuiil to ride if they're going for that cheap. Plus getting an extra Mando was good so I could upgrade the original with the Shoretrooper pauldron

>>11444157
I just wish Mando had updated ankles.

>>11444126
The overall escalatory wank was the real issue with the EU and Star Wars in general, with or without the Vong.

I'd like more EU stuff in TVC though.

>>11444298
I would of bought two at that price as well. My only issue is I really don't collect TVC and only buy things on deep sale.
>>11444301
How big of a deal is it that he doesn't have rocker ankles? I am pretty bad at posing TVC figures.

>>11444285
>>11444298
Amazon has done that a couple times with their preorders.
There was the R2-D2 TVC on new hope card for $9.99 at the time.
It was just a recard of the droid factory series R2 from years ago

>>11444286
Dark Empire II or III
Luke goes Darkside and there's a cloned Emperor
Was alright for EU at the time

>>11444135
>Uncle Owen killing Maul with a blaster.
The comic somehow made that moment seem cooler than it had any right to be.

>>11444201
The trailers are 10/10, the best part of the game. Blur do amazing work.
I still re-watch them every now and then.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiJsK_sFeeKyS5pJSePa5eH_TfwThyrxE

>>11444286
Empire's End, the final arc of Dark Empire and it ended with a fart. The artstyle change definitely didn't help.

>>11444171
>Legends
Kys. Using that term, what a faggot.

>>11444522
I prefer using Legends to EU, since it feels more epic in scale. I dunno, maybe it's just because I'm a fantasy nerd.
I still call Disney shit "Disney shit", though.

Hello again. I did it again. This one is slightly different because it's from a model kit.

>>11444353
It's so wild comparing that first cinematic that is clearly riffing on that Snyder 300 slow-mo, speed up, slow-mo, fight scene style which was popular at the time, to that last Betrayal trailer which is using the John Wick style long take thing.

>>11444323
Ankle rockers are a pretty big deal for getting figures to be able to stand in dynamic positions. I honestly think ankle rockers were more significant for the line than the new hips. I like plenty of old figures that don't have either, though. Endor Capture Luke is still one of my favorites in the line.

>>11444135
It’s weird to me we still don’t have Uncle Owen in Black Series

>>11443455 (OP)
I love that we've been getting better and better helmets for TVC Stormtroopers but will we ever go back to ball-joint hips???

>>11444435
I'd love a Dark Empire 3-pack. I know it's not beloved like HTTE, but who cares. Nobody really cares about Joruus as a character after all and we got him in both scales.

>>11444660
Darth Luke, Young Sheev, and who for the third?

>>11444604
Honestly it's weirder that Hasbro went out of there way to make tooling for an updated old man Owen, only used it for an EU set that was a convention exclusive, and never sought to re-use the mold for a proper ANH Owen.

>>11444126
>>11444304
>Yuuzhang Vong
Yes, they killed the EU for me. So retarded, dropping a moon or whatever on Chewbacca. However, the EU had a lot of wacky propositions and some of the stories were total ass:
>Courtship of Princess Leia
>Darksaber
>The New Rebellion
>NJO
SotE, Thrawn trilogy, and the early Rogue Squadron books were the most coherent imo. Also, the boba fett books were fun, and some of the earlier short story collections nailed the atmosphere. The older Del Rey books like the lando calrissian adventures and splinter of the mind’s eye were also charming.
>>11444335
Empire’s End

I don't care how stupid the EU was, I liked it, cause at the very least it wasn't cemented on screen for the entire general public to see with hundreds of millions of dollars poured into it.

>>11444739
You really give that much of a shit about Chewbacca? He's cool, but he doesn't do shit or have dialogue. Quit posturing.

>>11444741
For me the EU started to get good at the end with Darh Bane trilogy and Sheev's book. I still need to read Shatterpoint but everybody told me it's great. Everything after Disney bought is awful, I heard the Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor book that happens between games is some horrendous erotic fanfic, they hired the worst tumblerinas to write their shit.

>>11444301
Does he at least have T-hips?

>>11444725
Well back then almost every figure got new tooling and they didn't really need to be conservative with budget and rely on reuse like they do now. Good old days when random background glup shittos on screen for 2 frames would get all new tooling no matter how much they kept pegwarming.

Got the evil 3 pack for 40 bucks. Excited about it

Looks like rumors are Dave Filoni and Carrie Beck will take over as a duo CEO once Kennedy is finally gone.

>>11444850
>clone wars cameos forever and ever
Star Wars will never not be dead lol

>>11444752
>I heard the Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor book that happens between games is some horrendous erotic fanfic, they hired the worst tumblerinas to write their shit
It is. And thankfully Survivor completely ignores it. Especially when it comes to Merrin. This is what worries me about the director leaving Respawn before the third game was finished.

>>11444749
>You really give that much of a shit about Chewbacca?
Yes. He’s a beloved main character. Moreover, killing him in some backwater novel was such a safe, focus-group approved move it’s painful.
>ooh, let’s kill a main character, that’ll get people buying the books again!
>but not a main main character like Luke or Han.
>what about Chewie, he’s expendable and doesn’t sell as much merch…
It was like a preview of all the bad Disney decisions to come.

>>11444323
The rocker ankles help a lot but you can get by without them. The good news is with this brown armor Mando, you can easily just swap out the lower legs with ones from the Mines of Mandalore or Imperial Base releases and have the rocker ankles. You don't even need to paint anything. Pic related, it was the first thing I did when I got the Blurrg set.

So fucking gay

>>11444867
>Especially when it comes to Merrin
Yeah I saw some quotes and discussions but life is too short for me to go after that book, like you I have my concernings about the third game, but let's hope everything goes well.

And by well I mean they kill everybody so Disney can't reanimate them in some horrendous live action/animated series.

>>11445086
R2-Fist-U

>>11444335
>>11444435
Oh wow, I really had no idea. I only read the first Dark Empire comic and it was mostly for the art. That is a lame and wild conclusion.
>>11444587
>>11444967
Thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind. I really just want him to sit on the Blurrg and look cool. Great pic btw!

Keep or resale for major profit?

>>11445207
Return to Amazon,
hide from purchase history,
forget you ever bought it cause you already have the same figures in your house

>>11445207
Huh? Is it selling for a lot or something?

>>11445224
I actually don't own any of them.

>>11445225
More than what I paid

>>11445207
>major profit
Assuming you're trolling given it's always on sale on Amazon because no one wants it.

>>11445226
Grevious the White is pretty good.
I missed out on the OG Grevious so this is a reasonably priced fig.
Cheap set from Amazon is good enough

>>11445243
Recently sold for around 80 so that's double. Good for me

>>11444126
I actually don't mind the idea of the Vong. The EU at the time needed a shake up from the tired 'Imperial warlord of the week' plot and the Vong with their biotech and resistance to the Force could present the heroes with an out of context problem they'd have to work out on how to beat. Besides, Star Wars is space fantasy and what is more fantasy like than an invasion from Space Orcs (which the Vong essentially are) from beyond the galaxy?

The problem with the Vong was the execution. They leaned too hard on the edginess early on and that alienated people. They tried to backtrack on this later on by showing the other Vong castes but it was too late by that point and everyone just saw the Vong as edgy Klingons with biotech. Still, you have to give them props for at least trying something new with the Vong, especially when compared to the utter creative bankruptcy we get with Disney Wars.

>>11444183
>It's Over... Unnh....

>>11443802
My Cal: The slightly thicker stubble, windswept hair, vest in black, no jacket, starting trousers in black, cyan sabre.

I too want Caij, I even quite liked Cere in this one they toned the eyes back and I liked her markings. Rayvis is obviously pretty cool.

>>11445342
To me the Vong being absent from the Force was a dealbreaker. I get that they wanted a way to make them a greater challenge but it's a fundamental misunderstanding of what the Force is. Even when they retcon explanation that they weren't truly absent but were just cut off from the Force doesn't work because that's not something you can really do, even if a Force user manages to sever their own connection to the Force all that means is that they're no longer sensitive to it, they're still a part of it and are still affected by it.

>>11445397
Caij, Rayvis, Dagan with removable clear force arm, DT Sentry Droids, all of the bedlam raiders goons, all of the haxion brood goons… it’s such a toyetic game but most of its good shit wouldn’t sell with collectors due to not being background shittos from the OT or clone troopers

>>11445586
I feel like the DT sentries might have a chance since they've been in other shows, man those would be so sick to have as figures. If it ever happens I hope it's specifically sourced to Survivor because I like the blue gray paint scheme and they have cool weapons.

But yeah I think every single npc design in that game has so much sovl. Actually I'd say that's not uncommon for video games but sadly they are never represented in toys as much as movies and shows are.

>>11445617

>>11444126

I was a teenager when the NJO books were coming out, so I like them. Do they fit the classic Star Wars aesthetic? Absolutely not, but that was kind of the point. And, in an age where basically every new piece of Star Wars media is a regurgitation of the OT, I respect them as an attempt at doing something different with the franchise even if the execution was lacking. Also, they were cool in Legacy.

I got priced out from the hobby. Hopefully figure prices go back to the way they were one day but I doubt it :(

>>11445959
Oh yeah, never happening. The line is bleeding customers that can keep up. Death becomes it.

>>11445541
The Force is an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together... except these Vong fucks. They're icky and the Force wants nothing to do with them.

>>11445962
Why are they like this? They priced oput kids (Not like kids ever buy toys anymore past the age of five) and they are pricing out working class

>>11445959
>>11445977
Sounds like you're just right for Epic Series! ! !

>>11446040
Okay but why does that Yoda sculpt look better than the one from the new 2-pack

>>11445959
I'm ok with this honestly. Seems like the past few years, ever since covid really, we've had this influx of new, only barely interested collectors join the community, mainly younger, poorer collectors. These guys feel the need to complain about everything that isn't catered to their hyper specific wants, and then lose their mind at anything MSRP or higher. They're the kind that wait for Ollie's and other heavy discounts, and then feel like they should be the ones dictating how the toy industry should work. I'm sorry but if a difference of $3 is enough to get you to not buy something, you probably didn't want it anyway. These are luxury goods, and quite frankly, you shouldn't be participating in a hobby like toy collecting if you think $25-$30 figures are too expensive. Look into how expensive actual hobbies are compared to toy collecting. You'd be shocked.

>>11446049
Sorry, this comment came to mind when you mentioned the poorer collectors.

I'm sure the barely interested collectors are the fringe ones that gravitate only when the franchise is relevant so they can get in on the hype. Once another Transformers or Marvel movie comes out, they jump on that train and complain that their wants aren't being met.

Star Wars has something for everyone though so you can get an Epic Series $7 fig or a $300 Hot Toys doll.

>>11446049
I live in a europe wherwe our wages haven't increased at all. Meanwhile star wars figures prices have doubled here from when I was previously collecting in the early 2010s where the price for a single figure was around 7-8 pounds and are now 15 pounds a pop.

>>11446065
>I'm sure the barely interested collectors are the fringe ones that gravitate only when the franchise is relevant so they can get in on the hype.
You'd think that but you would be surprised at just how many people are spending hundreds of dollars on action figures of characters they barely even know.

>>11445268
All of the Black Series Grievous use the same shitty flimsy, undersized body, genuinely none of them are worth owning. Either get the model kit or the upcoming SHF.

>>11446075
>Eropoor

Aren't you fags busy importing brown niggers?

Is there an easy way to kitbash and achieve this look? I'm specifically talking about escape from Death Star in ANH when Luke and Han are wearing Stormtrooper belt

>>11446126
>get Luke and Han figures
>get two Stormtroopers
>disassemble/cut off whatever is needed to get belts on

Or don't get the stormtroopers and find some 3D printed belts on Etsy or somewhere that you will have to paint.

Hwat do y’all think?

Got a Savage Opress because his body and armor looks great and plan on kitbashing it. What do u guys think? Does this helmet fit him? Planning to paint the middle section of the helmet black to give it Mando vibes.

Still looking for other heads to use with this fig tho but this is the only one that fits..

Ps. Tried on the heavy mando helmet and looks great but it’s too known

>>11446126
A white zip tie and some styrene strips in differing thicknesses.

>>11446126
The original Black Series Han came with a stormtrooper belt

>>11446340
Things were better then

>>11446340
Why is Black Series allergic to alternate hands and heads these days?

>>11446345
The line was new and open to experiments back then. They had to entice new people and get old collectors to move away from the 3.75" scale. The irony of course is now TVC is the one that gets the swappable hands.

>>11446049
Anon, do you really believe COVID collectors or newbies are the ones in this thread right now? Black Series figures have dipped in quality on a lot of different levels the past few years (taking away thighs swivel, paint apps, fewer accessories, figures that should be a normal release, being deluxe). Of course people are going to bitch. The value isn't there and people are cutting back. We are at the point where Hasbro is photo shopping out the pegs in older legs to hide them. People are rightfully furious. Seriously, the face printing tech has also gotten worse, how does that even happen? Oh, right.. budget cuts. So ya, stop acting like everyone is bitching in a vacuum .

>>11445586
They did the Dagan with the arm in the two back didn't they?

>>11446621
Yes, though it's not removable like the way he described.

>>11446626
Ah right, thought you might have missed it sorry.

>>11446501
>Hasbro is photo shopping out the pegs in older legs to hide them
This, I can't believe they stooped that low. It's a sign of how they think of us. Mindless consoomers.

>>11446390
The early years were so weird for TBS. For some reason they decided to put out a tertiary character like Greedo before heavy hitters like Vader or Yoda, and to the surprise of nobody he pegwarmed hard because nobody wanted to spend $20 for a minor character in a line they weren't even sure was going to last long enough to fill out the main ANH cast.

>>11446837
the best part of this is that once the line gained momentum and it was clear that it had legs people regretted not getting greedo so he started going for insane prices on the secondary market

>>11443455 (OP)
Does anyone know what store this is showing up at? This is the last star wars toy i currently need atm

>>11447330
Ollies. For all time.

>>11446049
Cheaply pressed together plastic, Dyes, then a lick of paint in a chinese sweatshop really shouldn't be considered a luxury good

>>11446044
>why does that Yoda sculpt look better than the one from the new 2-pack
I think it's because it's sculpted with an expression. I know why they do it, but always going for the neutral head ends up making a lot of the likenesses worse because they have less information to deal with. Pulling a face engages a lot more muscles and adds lines to the face, so the sculptors would have more to anchor the portrait.
Imagine an AOTC Anakin with this face. Hasbro should really start including a second head with Black Series so that they have two chances to get the faces right.
Also if they absolutely nail the sculpt then they should include that head with future versions. Then we wouldn't all need to be buying a second Yavin Luke to fix the new farmboy Luke with the fucked up head.

>>11446075
>Meanwhile star wars figures prices have doubled here from when I was previously collecting in the early 2010s
The same is true here in Aus as well. As I mentioned in a previous thread the I got the original Shae Vizla for 14 bucks when it came out, and the "deluxe" Jango that came out recently is 65 fucking dollars, despite having basically the same parts count. I made this image for the sake of clarity.

>>11446126
>>11446340
There's also this Luke which is not super accurate to the scene where they're back in their regular outfits, but it has Luke's wet hair.
But yeah, your best bet is to get some Stormtroopers and cut the belts off.

What's the likelihood we get a re-release/update of AOTC Padme in the near future?

Target is getting reissues of TVC Bib Fortuna, Bom Vimdin, and the Gamorreon Guard as part of Return to Tatooine. They're up for preorder now. The Gammy is marked up to the Deluxe price point though which stinks but is better than the current eBay price if you need some but they also have a limit of 2 per customer.

>>11447518
Isn't she still pretty cheap on secondary market? But I wouldn't be surprised if they re-release her sometime.

>>11447519
>Bom Vimdin
Not a surprise, I was sure they would repack whatever cantina characters they had already made in 1.0

>>11447537
>Isn't she still pretty cheap on secondary market?
Fairly (though postage will fuck me over in my country by basically doubling whatever I pay), but mainly I have a really unlucky track record of picking figures up on the secondary market only for improved versions to get either announced or fully released a week after I finally get them. So honestly it wouldn't surprise me if I bought it and while it's in shipping they announce an archive version with improved face printing or a retool with pinless limbs. The only thing that would make that okay is if they do a version with the exposed midriff, but I doubt that's gonna get made any time in the near future.

On a tangential note, god damn I want a new Nexu, either in the Vintage Collection or Black Series, or both ideally. I fucking love that fuzzy bastard.

>>11447580
She already has face printing. If they did an Archive one her face would probably actually be worse since they downgraded their photo real. I really doubt they will ever make any tooling updates to her desu. Maybe a soft goods cape at most. More likely to get a new Padme wearing a different outfit

>>11447585
>since they downgraded their photo real
I think the face printing has improved, if you compare the face on the latest Leia it looks way better than the previous archive collection, which is the exact same head sculpt.

>>11447626
If you're talking about Boushh, the sculpt is different. The new ANH one does not have the same head sculpt as archive either because everything on it is new expect the legs.

There might be some instances where recent is better like with the upcoming Cal Kestis in the Turgle set. But overall it definitely has downgraded. They used to have a little bit more shading around the face, now they just do bare minimum eyes and lips.

>>11447585
I'm not a huge fan of either of the two BS padmes. The AOTC figure especially makes her look like she's pulling a kind of shit-eating smirk.

>>11447626
>latest Leia
Which one?

>>11447737
>Boushh
That's the original and the Archive, right? I'm too lazy to look at my Boushh Leia, is the one in the SOTE two pack the same as the Archive one?

>>11447756
That picture compares archive and SOTE which has a new head

>>11445086

>>11447537
I can see why they did Bom since he was released so long ago and goes for kind of high on the secondary market, but why the fuck are they putting Bib out again? He was released not that long ago and has been available for $10 on Amazon for like the last year or so. It's not even an alt card or anything. They could have made a better choice. Like take the 3.75 Black Series of Mosep Bineed and put him on a TVC card instead.

>>11447932
They did this with the dark trooper too. You could get the deluxe with the charging station for cheaper than the carded repack. Mandalorian Ahsoka as well one of them is down to $4. They need to get better at choosing repacks.

>>11447936
At least the Dark Trooper kind of make sense since it's an army builder and appeased people who wanted it on a card and not in the windowless box. I wasn't totally against its release other than the timing, but I thought it was stupid as fuck to pack it in with the fist instead of the C-grip hand so it could at least hold the blaster. I just can't imagine there's anyone who wants Bib that doesn't already have him at this point though. Especially when it's going to a nationwide retailer like Target instead of fan channel like these repacks tend to. I fear he'll be the new Lando.

>>11447737
>>11447756
Nah, I'm talking about the A New Hope Leia. The one that came out this year is the same head sculpt as the first one they did. Which shows that they CAN use older heads on new figures. So once again WHY did they not use the X-Wing pilot Luke for the new ANH figure when it has THE best ANH Hamill likeness.

>>11446621
Unfortunately I am a TVC guy

>>11447519
I fucking hate Target but I need the Bom Vimdin so I guess I have no choice. The last time I tried to preorder something from Target they randomly decided to cancel my preorders then block my account from placing new orders for a while. I had to spend an hour getting the runaround from retarded jeet customer service people before finally being given a white person's email address to contact, only for them to tell me that my account was blocked from placing orders because the jeet customer service people placed too many orders on my behalf.

>>11448202
That’s clearly a different sculpt

>>11448255
Their whole debacle with the recent Retro six pack has a lot of people frustrated and it's definitely got me nervous about the order I made for the Gamorreons. It's the first preorder I've had with them in over a year so I'm not looking forward to the constant dings to my debit card every two weeks if that's something they still do.

>>11448259
The plastic and paint (along with the angle) makes it hard to tell from these photos, but I have the original and the new one and in person you can tell the sculpt is identical. The head and the boots are re-use from the original figure.

>>11448255
I stopped preordering with Target after they kept pinging my card every week. Like take the money or don't, leave me alone.

I got Momaw Nadon. This figure is not worth $24. Christ Almighty, what this line has become...

>>11448697
I disagree. I don't feel bad paying that price for him. He's as well executed as Zeb.

>>11448838
You're the kind of sucker they love.

Anyone got suggestions on a part or replacement arm set source? This one didn't come with its second arm.

Will hasbro make this early cw Ahsoka? Now we have updated cw Anakin, and re-released cw Obiwan. I think this is the good time to make earlier outfit of ahsoka. It would be great if the jabba’s son and backpack comes together as well.

>>11448950
You'll get the flashback version from the Ahsoka show and that's it

>>11448846
I guess? I've never paid full price for any of the deluxe packs so far except the E-Web, Zeb, and now Hammerhead. I plan on getting a few more for custom fodder once he goes on sale.

>TVC Gamorrean re-release is $25
Is Hasbro hoping people forget that this same figure was released at the standard price?

>>11448950
You'll have to get the flashback version and find/make a printed torso to make her tubetop or slave girl looks

>>11449120
They're definitely playing us for fools now. The line is losing collectors, so they have to stick the pay piggies extra hard.

>>11449120
This also comes down to Target. They have apparently made the request for more Deluxe priced items. This was probably the only thing Hasbro had in the tooling tank for a repack that would qualify for that and fit the Return to Tatooine theme. Still, it's better than paying $50+ that they go for on the secondary market, though I would have preferred they had just done an army builder pack with them instead. Maybe just stick it to 3 in a box instead of 4 since there are technically 9 guards in the palace and sail barge.

>>11449198
Surely they could've also come up with someone other than Bib Fortuna, who is cheap as hell on eBay and literally $10 on Amazon

Maybe do one of the characters from those 3-4 packs, like Vedain or Tessek. The tooling exists, the packaging exists, and the sets are no longer available new so they're not shooting themselves in the foot by offering one of those figures by themselves.

>>11449198
>They have apparently made the request for more Deluxe priced items.
I refuse to believe this is true. They all go to clearance.

>>11449227
Yeah they were littered with training Lukes, Krrsantans, and Sabines. In fact most of their exclusives have pegwarmed hard like the carbonized black series and Andor trooper. I'm surprised they're still ordering stuff.

>>11449227
I don't know what to tell you Anon.
You aren't wrong but the evidence is there on the shelves. If they didn't want them, they wouldn't order them. Target could stop carrying TVC tomorrow if they chose to.

Hi bros, is it too late to start a KOTOR shelf? I just happen to see that they are reissuing Malak and Nihilus. Bastila is still more or less MSRP. I'm not that tuned into the rest, except Revan aftermarket prices are oof

>>11449013
There's absolutely no way they're gonna do tube top Ahsoka in the TV series. If it was the 90s/00s when tube tops were popular then MAYBE they would have done it, but now the blue-haireds would lose their minds. I mean shit they got rid of S3 Ahsoka's boob window.

>>11449252
They may as well, they don't stock it

>>11449312
They didn't just get rid of the S3 boob window, they got rid of her S1 look altogether. That flashback is supposed to be to the Battle of Teth from the Clone Wars movie, where she should've been in the tube top. So they're now going with the idea that she never dressed like that and your pic is what she was wearing when she first became Anakin's padawan.

Young Jyn actress from 10 years ago turned out to be pretty hot. You guys think we might see prime hebe Jyn anytime soon?

>>11448219
I'm holding out that some of the tooling from the Crapolyte Jedi figures will be leveraged to make a Dagan Gera for TVC. Indara seems like she has the right pants and the way the torso are constructed means they basically just have to make an overlay that sits over a buck so the tooling won't be as intense if they use Sol/Yord as a base.

>>11449333
Kind of crazy that she even looks similar to Felicity Jones. Most of the time the kids they cast for a young version of an actor grow up to look nothing like them. They should do a young Jyn Erso show in her time with Saw's partisan group.

>>11449344
You think Saw told Jyn to huff the Rydo?

>>11449312
>>11449327
They literally made the boob window figure for the Black Series. It's her second outfit in the Clone Wars.

>>11449411
Let's be real: they'd never let this outfit appear in live-action too. Boob window, bare back, cutouts on leggings, the whole outfit being pretty much skin tight? Yeah, not happening.

You need someone extremely athletic and tight to play live-action Ahsoka, both young and old. The young girl they got was chubby, and Rosario Dawson is a fucking fridge with saggy tits who can't move and do any action to save her live.

>Make cheap army builder figures (Clone trooper legions, Stormtroopers, Battledroids and Rebels, Old Republic soldiers) stuff that generally is the same mold and some slight recolouring
>Make more expensive unique individual figures (e.g. Revan or Director Krennic) being more expensive due to unique molds
Why aren't they doing this? They'd make much more money as less well off collectors while still being somewhat decent for well off collectors. Army builders would be more willing to buy.
Instead you got to spend like 20 dollars on a B1 Battledroid that would've been half that price only a decade ago

>>11446049

>>11446065
>Epic Series $7
Wow I can pay the same price for what TVC used to be and get a worse product. Thats awesome!!"!

>>11449488
Truly we are blessed to be Star Wars Entertainment enjoyers! :D

>>11449410
>>11449411
We were talking about translating the cartoon designs into live-action, not into the figures.
Though I doubt Hasbro will do a tube top Ahsoka any time in the near future either. Which sucks because as I've said before in previous threads I would absolutely love to see Hasbro take another run at the animation style figures again. Even if it's just the main cast.

>>11446049
>>11446065
These are truly some of the worst takes I have ever read. I have been collecting toys, and Star Wars specifically, since childhood. I have never stopped collecting, and I have been spending my own money since I started earning it, so I have been there year in year out. I've seen how this shit has gone from toys aimed at children, to splitting into a kid's line and a "collector line" then dropping the illusion that any of this is for kids, jacking up the prices and then creating a subline in another kids line in order to feed off that demographic.
Understand that the Epic line is NOT a Star Wars line, it is a dedicated subline brand, and also understand this Hasbro as a corporate entity absolutely does not give a shit about you, your opinions, or your wants. They only care about gouging your wallet as much as possible and have been frog-boiling us for years trying to accept paying ever increasing prices for less stuff (fewer accessories/paint apps/swappable parts/articulation) at worse quality. It's not about being "poor" it's about not being ripped off. I am not paying for a deluxe Transformer, when it costs the same price a Leader class figure cost just a couple years ago.
Hasbro is not your friend.

>>11449411
Why does Anakin let her dress like such a slut? Does he WANT to watch the entire 501st run a train on her?

>>11449550
Not so snippy now...

>>11446065
I love this qoute. The common man shouldn't have anything at a reasonable price but its A OK for companies to exploit cheap labour to save themselves moeny and use the cheapest components and resell it to the consumer at a high price

>>11449306
I think I saw Malgus got pretty expensive and Zaalbar was a pegwarmer so he might be cheap. I mean up to you if you like those characters enough to pay over retail for them

>>11449481
Well they kind of are with the TVC 4 packs and TBS 2 packs. When they started they were cheaper than buying that many figures individually. But they have gone up in price now though I think it's still a bit cheaper.

>>11449488
Anon. It's been 15 years since 3.75" figures were $7. Everything has gone up in price since then.

Interesting results to a poll from Mr. Stevie

>>11449639
Makes sense. That flashback Anakin is terrible. I don't know what they were thinking with the soft goods tunic. I thought we were past doing that. Plus the 2013 legs, long arms and wacky armor. Only good thing is the head sculpt. Meanwhile for Luke I would say it's the opposite and the only bad thing is the head sculpt. Bacara was a fail too with squished helmet and zero weathering. TVC worsts are on point too.

You wouldn't actually go back, would you

>>11449756
Everything was better then

>>11449756

I've litteraly never heard anyone ever claim that was a good storyline beyond a guilty pleasure. Try better next time sequel retard.

>>11449756
Sculpts are better now, but the toys themselves used to be better in the 90s.

>>11449498
Ah, I see. My mistake. I think the figure came out amazing personally. I don't mind the flash black look personally. The actress is 18 anyway. I took it as a combo appearance for seasons 1 and 2 and there was no way they were going to make her look like a little hoho, when even Dave didn't want her to look at like that originally (the tube top). She seriously looks like a teenybopper from 2007
>>11449416
I think it's possible they could show it, but obviously not now they they combine both outfits for the flashback. Oh well. I personally love season 2 and 3 look for her.

Why are you dumb zoomers arguing about Filonislop, Ashoka existence is a massive plothole to Episode 3, Clone Wars and Rebels didnt add anything worthwhile except clogging the pegs with various clone repaint. Treat yourselves by not buying Filonislop and save some money. If you really have to buy an Ashoka figure, at least chop her up and kitbash her into some kind of OC petite jailbait Tortuga prostitute and put her in Jabba palace or cantina display

I was disappointed with his look in survivor. He looked cool after the bacta tank, but then he casually got his 200 year old robes, I would have preferred him to have a more contemporary outfit.

>>11450093
I think it's likely though I'm kind of surprised they haven't done it yet

>>11449756
Nah. I'm very happy with how the sculpt, face printing, and engineering is on modern figures. I loved the POTF2 line when I was a kid but the quality of toys we have now are what I always wished those to be. The only thing I would take from back then over now is just the sheer volume and character selection but there was also far less media to cover so it is what it is.

>>11449756
Now i'm mad the black series didn't have two Jawas in one box.

>>11450093
Ahsoka is getting a second season with apparently both Hayden and Ewan coming back to do another flashback episode, which given that the previous flashback episode was the only good episode out of season 1 and the most well received I think there's a solid chance we could see a figure of her for season 2.
I do hope it happens because they've done an Ahsoka Anakin, there's a live-action style TCW Obi-Wan, and two for Rex, so live-action Ahsoka would round out the squad.

>>11449821
Nah a lot of people hated including Lucas. There is some nostalgia for those who read at the time and I personally dig Cam Kennedy's art but the story is fucking awful, tried to re-read a few months ago and it was way worse than I remembered.

>>11450804
>a lot of people hated including Lucas
Then why did he sign off on it? The guy had final say on everything until 2012. Unless he was purposely just doing a cash grab, knowing he’d retcon it all later, anyway.
>personally dig Cam Kennedy's art but the story is fucking awful
The art in Dark Empire is quite unique and enjoyable. Dark Empire 2 makes everyone look like they have bad acne or some kind of facial pustules. Empire’s End is embarrassing throughout. The concept of world devastators was interesting, but the series kept getting more outlandish as it went on, i.e. the eclipse star destroyer that’s got its own superlaser, the galaxy gun, etc. Part of me wants to believe there was some self-awareness in those plots and that they did some of that to mock how gonzo the EU was already becoming. I remember I had one of those “essential chronology” books that attempted to sort it all out.

>>11450842
>Unless he was purposely just doing a cash grab, knowing he’d retcon it all later, anyway.
Exactly this.

>>11450842
the og plan was for lucas to he a head creative consultant with nuwars, but he got pushed out by jj when he got involved

>>11450804
Dark Empire is better than the sequels.

>>11451218
Not by much. Not defending the sequels, it's just Dark Empire is pretty bad.

>>11451276
It's better than you give it credit for.

>>11451276
Dark Empire definitely clears the sequels, you can read DE 1, 2, and Empire's End in less time than it takes to watch any one of the trilogy and the art in Dark Empire was pretty good.

>>11449556
It was ridiculous, like a constant porno, you have no idea. And she was a good friend.

>>11451289
I was around for the EU, including Dark Empire. Most of it wasn't very good, although I will contend that >>11451306 is correct and that even the worst of the worst EU shit was still better than the ST.

>>11451366
>Most of it wasn't very good,
You are a fucking idiot if you think that. There were some stinkers for sure, but the EU was a treasure trove for stories and keeping SW going.

>>11451405
Yeah I don't think there was that much bad stuff as people claim. I think most prequel era books at least were kino. Even stuff for kids like the Jedi Apprentice series was good as fuck and much better than agenda pushing High Republic woke slop

>>11451276
>2x better story
>1000x better imagery
>faithful characters
Even if the story were equally as shit as the sequels, it's still a million times more interesting to look at than the sequels. The sequels had boring as fuck designs because they just reused the same designs as the OT and the aliens were all variations of each other. Almost samefags.

It's the designs that also kept the prequels so much more interesting.

>1000x better setting
NEVERFUCKINGMIND the setting. The prequels are their own thing too, with Republic being a toothless bureaucracy and all new different worlds to explore. The sequels were again a retread of the OT, so it's same backward snow (derp salt),forest/sand planets with the downtrodden rebels struggling to fight against the evil empire.
Whereas Dark Empire has the New Republic chasing down the last remnants of the Empire to shitholes that not even the Rebels used. Completely new and exciting to explore, like the OT and prequels.

>>11451405
Ok, I'll admit it was a good portion of it wasn't outright bad, but some still existed. I guess it was mostly really mediocre and a lot of it felt, at least to me at the time, kinda fan fic-y. Especially the later stuff. I still cringe every time I think of Cade Skywalker or the Vong. But it's still miles ahead of the ST so it's fine.

>>11451218
>>11451276
>>11451306
>>11451366
The potf Dark Empire toys were actually damn good as well, with the folding box dioramas and all.
>>11451405
>the EU was a treasure trove for stories and keeping SW going.
Keeping SW going was the operative purpose of the whole EU. But yeah, I always really enjoyed a lot of the stories. Just from books alone:
>thrawn trilogy
>sote
>jedi academy trilogy
>most of the short story collections (esp. the earlier ones like tales from the cantina and tales of the bounty hunters).
The later stuff like >>11451533 said, the vong shit, was a big turd. The OT EU ended for me with that follow-up thrawn duology where everyone signed a peace treaty in the end.
>>11451436
Yes, dark empire is far more visually unique and interesting than anything Disney has done.

In case anyone needs the Black Series Obi-Wan and 212th trooper two pack it’s in stock on the Disney store website. This usually goes pretty quick.
https://www.disneystore.com/obi-wan-kenobi-clone-trooper-212th-action-figure-set-star-wars-the-black-series-418149328099.html

Are they any different from the original Target and Walgreens exclusives? I already have those figures.

>>11452322
They’re the exact same. I do wanna say I saw somewhere that the face printing is better on this two pack one but I can’t find any pics quickly.

Hopefully we finally see Anakin and Obi-Wan since they're supposedly in the next wave with Galle and Sandtrooper

>>11452430
>>11452431

Anyone else really want a brand new Vader? TVC Vader is runner circles around the antiquated black series one
It’s not bad especially the helmet put the proportions look nothing like a body builder

>>11450842
>Then why did he sign off on it? Unless he was purposely just doing a cash grab, knowing he’d retcon it all later, anyway.
Exactly this. He never liked the Expanded Universe and always made it clear nothing there was part of the movies

>>11452479
It's not that he didn't like the Expanded Universe, it's just that he never considered it canon (its his work and he can tell his story without behind held back by others work). He still used elements from the EU, because he liked what they did. He even praised some of the comics with keeping the tone of his work and wanted others to copy it (Dark Empire) when they did their own EU stories.

>>11452082
I think most of the hate that the EU gets are from people who never finished a book, or read a wiki/watched a youtuber. Most people who read the books know how good they could be, hence continuing to read them. There's a wide variety of quality, but there's a lot of entertaining ones that are worth reading if you want more GOOD Star Wars.

>>11452442
I honestly have Vader fatigue at this point.

>>11452437
Yeah haven't those been the last remaining pipelines for a while now? I feel like they were announced over a year ago.

>>11452442
They should have invested in an all new sculpt for Vader with pinless knees a long time ago with how many Vaders they've pumped out. But because they already repacked him a gorillion times, it's kind of too late. I don't really want to see another Vader again for a few years and I don't think a new would would sell very well right now because they released too many of the old ones and everyone has one now.

>>11452430
Just put that ROTS Windu-Sheev set up for preorder.

>>11452602
Is that black series or TVC?

>>11452605
Supposed to be black series.

>>11452602
Forcing people to get another Mace Windu just to get Chancellor outfit Palpatine is gonna be retarded. It would have been a great opportunity to get Saesee Tiin or Agen Kolar into the line even if it's just a new head on Mace's body.

>>11452592
>Yeah haven't those been the last remaining pipelines for a while now?
Yep. I thought for sure they would be a Celebration reveal but now it's like, just get them out to us already

>>11452589
May I ask for suggestions of the good stuff? I have never read any. I think I like Zahn if that means anything (positive or negative) cos I have started The Icarus books.

>>11452682
Oh also I like comics too if there are any good ones of those as well.

>>11452682
Xwing series (up until the original author leaves).
The Zahn books of course, up til 2010.
Republic Commando series until like book 3?
The Bounty Hunter War book, and keep reading from this series if you like it.

The Tale From... (Empire/Catina/Jabba's Palace/Bount Hunters) books have some good short stories, but there's also complete shlock in those. Well worth a read.

This is from the top of my head, btw. There's quite a bit to filter out that I've read and i dno't really remember the titles for individual books. There's stuff like I, Jedi and Darth Plagueis that are pretty good

As for comics, Crimson Empire and all those sequels. All the original Dark Horse Boba Fett ones too. There's also comic Tales collections, but like the short stories, quality varies a lot. Still worth reading.
Can't really recommend anything once Marvel took over.

People seem to like the Han Solo trilogy, but i tried to and never finished the first book. Maybe i dropped it because I wanted to re-read ASOIAF because A Feast for Crows was going to come out.

>>11452704
Damn, thanks for the post, I'll save it and give them a go. Any particular characters from any of them you hope someone makes a figure out of?

>>11452682
The Jedi Apprentice and Jedi Quest series' are pretty decent for kids books. The former is about Obi-Wan pre-Phantom Menace, while the latter is about Anakin post-Phantom Menace.

>>11452714
not from the books.
Most human characters are generic enough that a quick custom can stand in for them in the Star Wars universe.

We already got some of the most popular ones, BUT a lot of the comic ones need to be made/remade, since there's a lot of visually interesting designs there.

>>11452735
I loved the way they drew the comics and the colours they used back then. Why'd that go away?

>>11452816

NTA, but that artist (Tom Veitch) ended up going blind, so that's why his particular style went away unfortunately. Also, drawing and coloring books digitally kind of ruined everything.

>>11452879
Cam Kennedy you mean?

>>11452886

Shit, you're right. I always get them confused.

>>11452887
He definitely had an awesome style.kinda has Syd Mead vibes. Shame he didn't do more.

IMO the earlier books/comics were better because you can tell the writers got the maximum level of creative freedom. Especially the short story collections—like tales from the mos eisley cantina, where they had some really fun stories about random creatures/extras you only saw for half a second in the movie’s one bar scene. The later books, you got bogged down by the chronology.

The New Rebellion was the first EU book I ever read and I loved it. The antagonist and terrorist plot were great. Of course I'm going by my memory as a teen, haven't read the book since so perhaps I have a soft spot for it, but it's what got me hooked into reading more and raiding the local library. This all happened after ROTS just came out so the EU was still a vast ocean of untapped potential and lacking Disney's taint.

>>11453186
>haven't read the book since so perhaps I have a soft spot for it, but it's what got me hooked into reading more and raiding the local library
Even though TNR has a gay villain, this is a really great reason to be nostalgic for it, or any sw book. It was similar for me: pulp and popular genre books like EU stuff kept my curiosity and love of reading alive while the American public school system was doing its best to destroy both.

Seconding the Jedi Apprentice books. I'm reading them right now, but I will warn you if you're going to buy physical copies, after volume 10, they become really fucking difficult to track down.

>>11453095
I don't think it's "creative freedom" that they had, but rather, they weren't beholden to reusing the same popular characters over and over.
The stories they told were what started the entire direction for the EU, but their stories were undoubtedly committee made. AND we do know that Lucas limited what they could and couldn't write about. So the early stuff just had First Mover advantage, so it seems creative and fresh.

Later stuff gets bogged down with continuity, like you said. They have to follow up on X story, even though X was resolved. They can't do Z because Y already did that. Or they do Z again, but with some minor revisions. They have to use previously established characters, because they're popular, so they start introducing fewer characters who could freshen the series. All this becomes stale, hence eventually needing to shake the entire universe up by killing popular characters and creating the Vong.
People want OT STAR WARS and it eventually became not-really-OT because they ran out of stories to tell in that setting because they wrote a thousand books.

I mean, there's a reason why i don't recommend the X Wing series after the original author leaves, because they basically did everything they could with the characters the author invented and its setting got played out. The XWing series continues and the next book is pretty good, but it's not great like before and later books eventually become bad.

Reboots work make things not stale, and the Prequels worked as that reboot. And it really wasn't a reboot, because it was an entirely new narrative and setting, with mostly brand new characters. So the EU books really didn't need the Vong anymore, we started getting a lot of new stories that previously wasn't allowed to be told: what happened before the OT, during the Republic era. And the quality for the books increased a ton.

So are we getting the Leia?

>>11449756
Maybe to buy bitcoin, definitely not for toys (at least not Star Wars toys). Why go back when I can reliably get some fun shit from back then for basically the same price it was then that still interacts well with modern sloppa

>Later stuff gets bogged down with continuity, like you said. They have to follow up on X story, even though X was resolved. They can't do Z because Y already did that. Or they do Z again, but with some minor revisions

An issue that persists even with current canon. I reread the Thrawn Trilogy a few months ago and one of the things that stood out about to me is how much it really benefits from only having to consider the events of the OT. There's a bit where Han is thinking about the moments that made him fall in love with Leia and it's like three scenes from the OT. Contrast that with the later EU and current canon, where almost all of the 'middle story' has been filled in and you have countless books, comics and video games to factor in.

>>11449333
What I've been thinking about for the last few years is that eventually they are going to have to have new actors as Luke, Han and Leia, without deepfakes. Star Wars can't go on indefinitely avoiding the characters that made the franchise what it is when the sequels failed so horribly at passing the torch. Some people insist that the original characters are what's holding Star Wars back, to which I say "How?" They've barely had any screentime in any live action media since Disney bought the IP. There's no evidence that Star Wars movies and shows have been flopping because they had too much Luke Skywalker.

What's more, I think we're robbing a new generation of actors and audiences of having their own stars by hiding the actors' faces behind CGI deepfakery. Graham Hamilton was an absolute deadringer for Luke just from the hair and makeup they did him up in even you can tell it's not Mark Hamill, and seeing him without the CG mask honestly makes me feel weirdly nostalgic for something that didn't happen, a lost timeline where instead of cavalcade horrible soulless corporate slop movies and TV shows we instead got a fresh set of actors to just pick up where Return of the Jedi left off and tell us the stories that happened after Return of the Jedi. They had a hundred novels, comics and games to draw stories from plus the hindsight advantage of only bringing the best and most fondly remembered ones to the screen.

If, not when when Star Wars gets the reset button hit on it, I think that's what needs to happen. It's so obvious and staring everyone in the face that we need to go back and have more adventures with the characters who made the IP what it is, and it needs to be the stories that the fans already know will work. Any studio would spend hundreds of millions of dollars to get the rights to just the Thrawn Trilogy, and yet Disney who sits on the entire EU library has said "we gave ourselves a strict a rule that we can't adapt those because reasons."

>>11454258
first, stop calling them 'the sequels' they are not. They are the 'disney movies' or if you want a more direct reference, the 'disney trilogy'.

Saying Sequel implies they are part of the origin, the creator's mind of the Originals and Prequels.

stop it.

>>11454346

Anon, I hate those movies too, but pick your fucking battles...

>>11454346
I'm genuinely embarrassed to share a hobby and interest in SW with people like you. I hate the ST as much as the next guy, but this kind of post is beyond babyman behavior. Get a grip.

Go fuck yourself apologist.

>>11454533
I'm, not defending or being an apologist for anything. I hate the Sequels too and don't own a single toy from them. And the only Disney shit I have is Mandoshit, because I think their armors are cool. I'm just pointing out your crippling autism.

>>11454346
>>11454533
Did it bother you when they changed Sonic’s arm color?

Why can't we get coomie figgies in the Black Series? This costume is not as lewd as many Marvel Legends beefcakes

>>11454346
I unironically agree. The fandom should further separate those messes from actual Star Wars.

>>11454558
Because women were allowed to vote.

>>11454558
They're even putting out this set in Marvel Legends

>>11454530

I’m relatively new to blacked series, does this mean they’re making more of those gay holiday-themed recolor figures?

>>11454492
>>11454536

you laugh now but when the day of reckoning comes, I will ask you, are they sequels or disney movies and my 9mm will be in my other hand. pray you answer it correctly.

>>11454528
I'm still debating whether I really want the 2-pack.

>>11454346
This anon is right, language is very important and has the power to legitimise or de-legitimise something within the public consciousness. Remember how Disney were very adamant about making sure nobody that worked for them in any official capacity, right down to other companies doing merchandising absolutely could not refer to Grogu as "baby Yoda" even though that's how everyone referred to him.
Calling the Sequels the "Disney Trilogy" will very much isolate them as a separate entity within how people view Star Wars. I'm surprised no-one thought to do this sooner.

Hi guys, does anyone know how well GI Joe classified scale with Black Series? I know that Black Series don't scale well with Marvel Legends because of comic book proportion and scale creep on Marvel Legends. I'm thinking of picking some random GI Joe guys for my rebel troopers. I'm not asking specifically about the heights, but the proportions (e.g., big heads, how many heads the characters generally are). What truly distinguish Black Series from Marvel Legends is that Black Series characters have smaller realistic head compared to Marvel Legends

>>11454346
I've actually cut out a couple people in my life because they were Sequel defenders

>>11454859
Generally I'd say they're too big, depends on the character though

>>11454822
I got the two pack for Luke. I was kind of introduced to Star Wars through that old PotF figures. I went to visit my cousins on the other side of the country and we all wne tup to a family cabin as a kind of family reunion type thing. My cousins brought a bunch of their PotF II figures and showed me and my brother who all the characters were. The Luke they had was the SotE Luke in disguise. I was especially found of that figure out of all the rest due to his removable helmet. I thought that was the coolest thing ever as a 6 year old. The following year the Special Editions came out and my mom bought the gold box version of it and we started getting the action figures and vehicles. I had a pretty extensive collection bak in the day but I never did get any Shadows figures. I always wanted Dash though after playing the N64 game.

Actually, speaking of all those old PotF toys, my mom was clearing out all our old toys from her house and she gave me all those and a bunch of other childhood toys. She kept everything and now I have it. Figures, vehicles, 3 huge totes worth of shit, and the Falcon was even separate from all those. I really need to go through everything and see what is and isn't complete. I might be able to use some of those ships as good background material for photography, I'm a Black Series collector so they aren't the right scale for play with my modern figures.

>>11454868
Thanks! Do you have a pic of any random GI Joe next to ANH, Hoth, or Endor rebel trooper?

>>11454877
>ANH, Hoth, of Endor rebel trooper
I don't have any of those, sorry

>>11454871
I'm really disappointed they just re-used a clone body for the torso on the new Luke. It just makes the new figure look so skinny. I also wish they hadn't made it so glossy.
We're definitely not getting another SOTE Luke or Dash or anyone else in the near future though, so I'll take what I can get (which is a problem in itself).

>>11454849
Thank you, you understand the importance of language. That trilogy has no father. It’s a bastard trilogy. Illegitimate.

>>11454849
>Remember how Disney were very adamant about making sure nobody that worked for them in any official capacity, right down to other companies doing merchandising absolutely could not refer to Grogu as "baby Yoda
Why is that bad? He's not baby Yoda and it'd be weird for him to be officially referred to as such when he's a completely separate character.

>>11454849
Cry about it autist.

>>11454195
>references references references references
Well, yeah, that's kinda lame, especially when you don't read every book in the series.

In the Thrawn Duology, i still think they're referring to Dark Horse's Crimson Empire characters.
They explained them well enough in the book, like a good book should, but they were so fleshed out that i think they were from another book.
... and checking it out now, they seem to be originally made for the Duology. Other characters were not, hence me thinking the main villains were references too.

>>11455073
It's not so much that it's bad, it's just an example of how language can affect branding and recognition. Like how Google doesn't like people using the phrase "Google it" because they worry that it will make the brand Google seem like just a generic term, like how Escalator used to be a trademarked name, but now is so ubiquitous with the device that it's just what they're called.
Referring to the films as "The Disney Trilogy" isolates them away from the franchise as a whole and keeps a clear delineation between the original films and what Disney has produced, preventing them from being able to keep their product viable through association with what people actually like, the Original Trilogy.

>>11454849
100% correct

>>11454849
I remember when they were even correcting guests at the park with "It's 'The Child'" sternly like an um,aktually autist. I still call him Baby Yoda and the main reason I did that in the first place is because Yoda's species doesn't have a name. Just like I call those senators in Episode I the E.T. Senators.

>>11455100

I'm actually reading that right now. If you're thinking of Major Tierce, I don't think he has any connection to the Crimson Empire characters other than also being a member of the Royal Guard. Wedge, Corran, Horn, Mirax, Booster Terrik and a few other characters from the Rogue Squadron books feature pretty prominently though. I don't mind that though, since stuff like that and Talon Karrde showing up in one of the RS books just feels like two good writers playing off each other within the same shared creative space.

>>11454910

The chin also sticks out of the helmet in a way that triggers my autism.

>>11455592
Can’t you just make the head look up and tilt the helmet down?
I don’t even want one and it’s bothering me

>>11454910
>It just makes the new figure look so skinny.
The POTF2 Luke is really buff though. It's part of the bulky era of figures. Luke should be skinny. Agreed on the torso part though.

>>11454910

>>11455822
It’s the SHF brandwar schizo, he doesn’t even buy toys much less like Star Wars. Just ignore him.

>>11455767
>no robes
They were this close to making end all be all Anakin and Obi-Wan. I would have traded the dio pieces and saber effects for a couple robes. I doubt the single releases will come with them either.

I do wonder how much this will be. Might be the first time I get an sdcc exclusive. I really want the extra heads and hands which I feel like the single releases won't include.

Also TVC sissies on suicide watch kek. Why didn't they get more reveals and the snowtrooper pack was already leaked and sold on ebay

>>11455828
Honestly the black series robes usually suck. They refuse to use wire. You’re better off just buying robes on Etsy from an artisan toy maker for them if you really need them.

>>11455827
You realize we see you as the "he doesn't buy toys" schizo that shits up every thread too right?

>>11455828
>>no robes
>They were this close to making end all be all Anakin and Obi-Wan.
Yea, gonna have to get the retro carded Walmart Con Exclusive next year which will have those minus the alt head, hands and saber effects.

>>11455823
>>11455824

>>11455869
Very likely these are going to be released in single packs, they've done this before

>>11455873
They'll strip out all the fun stuff though, like with Starkiller.

>>11455875
I can live without the platform and droid

>>11455876
And the alternate heads and hands?

>>11455865
I didn't like the sequels, but I wouldn't mind a new Kylo. He was cool.

>>11455884
No, no he was not.

>>11455888
We get it you hate the sequels dude, but everyone can agree Kylo was the best part.

I hope official pics drop soon. I think Anakin is perfect but I feel the clone wars Obi-Wan heads were better than this one.

>everyone can agree Kylo
No dude Kylo's existence singlehandedly undermines the entire OT

>>11455895
>No dude Kylo's existence singlehandedly undermines the entire OT
How?

>>11455865
Hahaha fuck no.

>>11455890
Nah, Kylo sucks and Driver's ugly ass was shit casting.

>>11455897
Are you fucking retarded? What am I saying, of course you are.

>>11455900
No I wanna hear how he undermined the OT. I mean you do know Kylo is essentially Jacen from Legends right? Do you hate him too?

>>11455897
Kylo exists means
>Han and Leia are bad parents for no reason
>Luke is a bad teacher and his Jedi academy never takes off
>Anakin's ghost just fucked off and never came around to talk to him
>nothing rebels did mattered because there is now Vader and Empire 2.0 "somehow"

Kylo (along with the First Order) are easily the most retarded meta things about the sequels that they came up with because they needed to replicate the OT status quo but it just doesn't work well, ruins the OT ending and makes all OT characters retarded.

>>11455902
NTA but I found Jacen's whole fall to the dark side thing to be pretty dumb. The idea was interesting, but the execution was pretty ass if I remember right. Granted, it's been like 15 years or more since I read that stuff back in high school, so my memory may be off. And I don't let aspects of franchises that I don't like, retroactively ruin the parts of said franchise that I do like. Yeah, the Disney shit and the ST suck, so guess what? I just ignore them and pretend they don't exist, and what do you know, they don't take away from my enjoyment of the aspects of Star Wars I still like. I just rewatched the OT a month ago and had a blast. I don't get why so many people go out of their way to focus on aspects of something they don't like when they could instead spend that energy focusing on the aspects they do like. Seems like a self defeating kind of mentality.

>>11455917
>they don't take away from my enjoyment of the aspects of Star Wars I still like.
They do

>>11455928
Maybe they do for you, but I'm capable of just ignoring their existence and going on with my life like a normal, well adjusted person.

>>11452704
>Xwing series (up until the original author leaves).

$109.99 For the set. Not bad.

>>11452442
I want a ROTS Vader on the newest articulation. I also don't have any Vaders.

>>11456010
>$60 for a couple of platforms and lava
Worse value than the Starkiller set desu

>>11456010
>>11456036
Nah man, each figure is a deluxe release with those Saber effects, extra hand and head. That's $34.99 each. $39 for the platform, lava stand, lava droid, and droid stand seems about right.

>>11456045
>Saber effects, extra hand and head
That shit probably costs them pennies to add, and should be standard inclusions with most figures at this point.

>>11456045
That's a terrible price

>>11456050
But it's all new molds and part from the ground up for each figure. You must understand.

>>11456060
Thems the game with BS deluxe pricing. The SW and SDCC tax is in play here.

>>11456045
Anakin = $24.99
Obi-wan = $24.99
Platform and fire set = $14.99 to $19.99 at maximum

What could possibly justify $30 markup? Thanks Trump

>>11456045
Deluxe figures are not worth $34.99 and anyone buying them for that is a fool.

>>11455799
No spear-wielding droid? Nani?
>>11455800
I'd grab this one for parts if I saw it on the pegs.

You better not fucking do it.

>>11456062
Companies presenting "new molds" and a modicum of paint as a selling point these days is wild. No shit it'd be a new mold, the last ones came out over a decade ago. I will say, I'm impressed with the head sculpts, and I do want the platforms, but I don't think I'll be rushing to get them. I have the SHF and a pair of robes, so I'm kinda set.

>>11456129
>rey and kylo in the background
dude…

So that Chancellor Palpatine and Mace Windu is probably gonna be the pulsecon exclusive right? After seeing this Anakin and Obi set, I wonder what that might come with… maybe Palpy’s desk? Part of the big window?

Damn. I haven't bought a TBS figure since Starkiller came out but that fucking Obi-Wan and Anakin two pack is insanely good. Hopefully I can grab one when it's put on Pulse. Hey Hasbro, I will buy that exact same thing in TVC too if you make it.

>>11456045
Welp, Hasbro priced me out of that Anakin vs Obi Wan set. Oh well, they'll just reissue them as single releases at some point anyway.

>They did the Monster Mash!

>>11456084
No, but Disney Hasbro says otherwise, because fans keep gobbling them up. Watch as this set sells out in 2 minutes and you cry as after markets prices double in the first week.

>>11456075
Obi-Wan and Anakin would count as exclusives with all the accessories. Plus the packaging is another $20.

>>11456141
My bad, here's a better view of them

Pretty let down by these reveals. They just don't know what they're doing.

Uuuuuuuuuugh. Gonna have to wait until fucking SDCC for TVC Han and Chewie I guess.

I hate exclusives so damn much.

>>11455808
Why bother posting if you're just going to be a cunt?

>>11456075
>What could possibly justify $30 markup?
Convention exclusives are always marked up call it convention tax. Tbh I was expecting 150 so I guess 110 is okay.

But idk what to do. I could just wait to get the repacks for $50 and save 60 bucks. I don't care about the platforms THAT much. But I really want the heads... I wonder if this will go on sale like the Starkiller set did. That was the same price but went down to $50.

>>11456394
Weren't all the 2023 exclusives severely overstocked? Doubt they'd make that mistake again

>>11456402
Yeah maybe. Plus I think Anakin and Obi-Wan will be pretty popular. I may just get the SDCC set if I can. I guess it'll be a nice display piece. But it would be cool if they reveal the standard versions before it releases as they sometimes do so people can decide which to get.

Can we get Jaina reissued with a face that isn't dogshit? Thanks.

>>11456441
With all the Legends shit they've been putting out, I can certainly see it happening. They'll put it in a 4 pack though with another set of Han, Luke, and Leia repaints.

Hi guys this might sounds weird, but I fell asleep couple days ago listening to toy podcast on autoplay, and I can't remember if this is true or not but I somehow heard that if you dunk the Mafex Stormtrooper Luke head and squish it vertically, the Mark Hamill likeness is improved. However, I couldn't find any source in writing via Google, and I don't go to other boomer forums/Facebook/reddit group doing DIY fixes. Also it could also be legitimately a dream, I don't know. Is this real or did I dream this up?

>>11455800
>Figure does not fly.
damn

>>11456441
I'm reminded how insane it is how few EU characters Hasbro has made, where's the Black Series
>Jacen Solo
>Ben Skywalker
>Anakin Solo
>Yuuzhan Vong
>Exar Kun
>Ulic Qel-Droma
>Nomi Sunrider
>Clone Emperor
>Darth Krayt
>Cade Skywalker
>Darth Talon
>Kyle Katarn
>Corran Horn
>Lumiya
>Darth Sion
>Kreia
>Darth Bane
>Talon Karrde
>Carnor Jax but for real
>Quinlan Vos

>>11456499
I mean I suppose it's possible. I've seen people do that with black series heads. I don't know if it'll be a huge improvement though and it could go back to its original shape.

>>11456556
Is it really that insane to not have figures for obscure characters from media that Disney shuns and most Disney Star Wars fans don't know or care about?

>>11443455 (OP)
How hard would it be to cut off Moff Gideon's jetpack? anyone have any tips? i dont have the figure yet but i have a custom in mind.

>>11456570
>I mean I suppose it's possible. I've seen people do that with black series heads. I don't know if it'll be a huge improvement though and it could go back to its original shape
Thanks, I was more thinking about getting a source, in case people here listen to ./toy/ podcast and happen to know the trick, or I could just completely dreamed it up

Honestly surprised they haven't done a Dooku vampire for these

>>11456323
What's your excuse?

>>11456606
Probably just glued in. May be able to get away with loosening the glue with hot water.

>>11456394
>Tbh I was expecting 150 so I guess 110 is okay.
I think it's a better value considering that Starkiller set was the same price and came with 2 repacks of a figure you could still get at retail.

>>11456632
This one was a fucking waste.

>>11455800
First time I actually liked one of these. It even works as a generic witch figure too.

>>11456632
There's probably a massive legal hurdle in the way preventing the that. Same with making Tarkin into a Van Helsing

>>11456632
(not) Van Helsing vampire hunter with Tarkin headsculpt and black hair + vampire Christopher Lee is cinema

>>11456632
>>11456658
>>11456664
Just but the NECA figures of them. They’d be better than anything Hasbro could do.

>>11456666
Eh, not big fan of 7", they're bigger than my Furay werewolves. I wish someone can shrink the NECA heads down so I can have young Tarkin/Dooku and make/commission a custom 6 inch Helsing/Dracula

>>11456650
Yeah I think so too. Sure you got 3 figures with the Starkiller set but they were just basic stormtroopers. And the force effect was kinda lame while the mustafar platforms are pretty big and detailed pieces.

>>11456690
And with the platforms you get an instant display that could be thrown onto a shelf which is nice.

>>11456666
And they'd break just taking them out of the package

>>11456075
>Platform and fire set = $14.99 to $19.99 at maximum
This is crazy talk.

Scrap Iron here was $45 years ago because he came with this small drone.

There's more going on with the platform and it has its own little droid too.
Prices were already going up since Scrap Iron was released AND this was BEFORE the tariffs started being introduced. PLUS being a limited edition (15k produced is limited compared to normal 100k-5m) for SDCC/fanwhatever? $110 is the new "fair" price.

This is probably the first year in like 15 years i probably won't buy anything from Hasbro at SDCC. Nothing exciting is getting announced, but my interest in Hasbro's stuff has waned ever since they started focusing on 1:12 scale in 2014.

>>11456712
No they wouldn't you fucking moron.

>>11456712
Sounds like a personal problem

>>11456651
This pack is why I wrote off the Halloween figures. These suck. I get more out of collecting the Halloween droids.

I can't stop staring at these two. I really like how they turned out. But I noticed once again they made Anakin's glove brown instead of black. Ugh

>>11456556
>many bath robes were sacrificed for this

Is ship toy talk here fine or was there a dedicated thread about it that I somehow missed?

>>11457646
I think there used to be, but not anymore

>>11457663
I'm surprised, since I feel like there's been a resurgence lately of ship merchandise that isn't terrible.

>>11456045

You talkin TVC scale or MGS? Because I was talkin TVC in reference to this new TVC one that's going to be way overpriced.

>>11457153
>make two main characters in an iconic scene playset
>make it an sdcc/pulse exclusive
FUCK
YOU

>>11458048
They'll be reissued down the line. They did the same thing with the new Maul.

>>11458052
But I want the platform and robot and lava too…

>>11458040
MGS, meant to respond to the post >>11457854 above yours. Anyway 20 bucks for anything 3.75 is insane now adays. Is the new Tie Advanced bigger now?

>>11458054
Then just order it on pulse. I feel like most exclusives haven't been that hard to get.

>>11458048
Patrick will not have mercy on you. Collectors must suffer for the Disney.

I never bought a 1/6th scale figure before, but I really dig the Palpatine one from Hot Toys. Are they good? and is the price justified?

Wtf I hadn't seen this set at all. Is it good? I heard there's a problem with the Magnaguard mold, what is it?

>>11458297
The TBS Magnaguard is very spindly, made of flimsy plastic, and the articulation is a lot more limited than the TVC version from 15 years ago

Also even though the hood is removable they designed it in such a way that the head has sculpted-in grooves for the hood, so if you ever wanted to display it as a standard Magnaguard without the hood and cape you're stuck with a weird looking head

NTA but Pulse doesn't ship to all countries.

I think Hot Toys look goofy desu I will never get one. I guess armored and helmeted characters like clones or Boba, Vader, etc. look kinda cool but I don't like the rest.

Why'd they leave out her mole?

>>11459500
It’s a weird thing to include despite being accurate

$140 for the TIE advanced
Jesus Christ this toy line is impossible to collect

Do any of you collect sealed vintage graded toys? I wanna get a luke skywalker grail just to display in my room, if any of you can give recommendations have around 1500 to play with.

>>11459960
We open our toys here

>>11455794
Fucking finally. I've been posting about her for years.

Anyone have the vintage X Wing? just curious, is it 75 cm long? Or is it undersized? I'm looking at the new one coming out and I'm weighing if I want to add it.

Got this qt recently, the store didn't have a price sticker on her so I thought she was going to be like £20 but she was only £7. She is great the only complaint i have is the mould lines on her legs and not having holsters, I know nothing about the character but she seems cool

>>11460247
Who is she?

>>11460263
shae vizsla and old republic character

>>11460247
They need to move their ass on more TOR characters in black series

>>11460263
>>11460264
Oh btw if you want her, make sure you get the one I got which is the newer one, the old one had a really ugly head

>>11459960
Gotta be way better uses for $1500

>>11460142
I don't have it but I think generally all vehicles are a little bit undersized. New one is a reissue so it'll be same as the old one

Why do you guys feel the need to be rude?

>>11460604
Don't be a pussy

>>11460604
sorry anon :(

>>11459505
I guess

>>11460555
>all vehicles are a little bit undersized.
Damn really? The Black Series ships are actually accurate scaled so I thought TVC ships would be too. I've always wanted a line of SW vehicles that are in scale with each other. MGS is cool but they're all over the place. The Bandai models are mostly in scale except for the Walkers, Snow Speeders and Slave 1.

>>11459500
>resting bitch face
>might scale with a body I have.
She came out last summer, right? Was she a retail release?

>>11460685
Yeah don't expect the 3.75" scale vehicles to scale with each other, at least not accurately. Hasbro is far worse than MGS is about this because they have to deliberately underscale most of the vehicles for practical reasons.

>>11460268
>>11460247
I have the original, I'm annoyed that I'm gonna buy the new one just for the head. But to be fair the original head is REALLY fucking ugly. I wish they'd re-done the mid section too and gotten rid of the sculpted in twist.

>>11460265
I'd get every one. Hoping for HK-47 first though.

Wallpaper anon here. I made this just for my own amusement and figured I might as well share it here (anons can use it as a backdrop if they want). 100 internet points to the first anon that figures out the reference.

Third party 1/12 soft goods Vader coming

>can't use Darth Vader so they call him Death Star Supervisor
Isn't Death Star also trademarked?

>>11462076
Helmet looks bad

>>11462080
>Laser Moon Regional Manager

>>11462086
Yeah… surprisingly the soft goods don’t look too bad since Vader is bulky anyways, but that helmet is a miss

>>11462086
>>11462087
It looks like they used one of those old Halloween masks as the reference

>>11462074
>>11462086
>>11462087
>>11462092
It looks almost like an expensive 1/12 version of the old POTF2 Vader.

>>11462231
Kind of wonder if anyone would be willing to do the Super7 TMNT thing and do POTF2 figures with updated articulation

I would honestly get a He-man Luke if they did that

Does anyone happen to have the 2chan pic of the modded bandai model kit vader with a cloth cape?

>>11450089
Based. I'm one of those guys who likes everything pre disney and hates after post Disney. With the exception of Filonislop. always thought the clone wars cartoon was boring as shit and Ahsoka sucked. I mean just look at this Filoni guy. He literally looks like a fat homosexual rat/human hybrid that always feels the need to wear a Cowboy hat. I have no idea why the majority of the fandom generally hates Disney, but likes this guy.

>>11455592
Removable helmets are slop.

>>11458291
They look amazing, but they remind me of dolls and it's kind of creepy. Not for me, but I get why people like them.

>>11463041
I mean all action figures are dolls technically. Hot Toys are for people who like having the most accurate versions of the characters as possible.

>>11463053
>Hot Toys
>the most accurate versions of the characters

>>11463058
Yes? I mean you get what you pay for with Hot Toys. The best detail and likenesses out there.

>Rey movie officially shelved
Well that’s disappointing
