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

>>11486108 (OP)
A few sought after figures are getting reissues and are up for preorder at various retailers

>>11486110
Did Starkiller warrant a reissue?

>>11486114
He sold out before he clearanced, and that's better than most these days.

>>11486110
Mmm, oh boy, more wheel spinning.

>>11486114
People started to scalp the single even though the big set was on clearance on pulse for the longest time
I think the head looks stupid so I never picked it up but will get the alt ending lord starkiller version if they ever do it

>>11486108 (OP)
I'm so hype for that SDCC set. Hope it's not hard to get. Would be cool if it ships out right away like I think the Visions guy did.

But yeah that's one of the last remaining Star Wars things I want. Just need them and commander cody in TVC then I think I'll be done. Unless they make Greez or something else from the Jedi games I guess, that's all I care about.

>>11486208
What is there to be excited about it? It's kind of crap.

Man, what the hell is going on with the next TVC wave. Seems like it's hitting overseas now because people in the UK and Australia are posting them yet Pulse sent a bunch of emails to me the other day saying they've all been delayed until September.

>>11486249
How is it crap? Ani and Obi look great and the platforms will make for a nice display piece

>>11486114
Yes.
The left eyebrow was printed wrong on every copy. Hopefully, they get it right this time

>>11486294
It's like the bare minimum of effort

>>11486388
How would you have done it? My only gripe is the lack of robes

This pack is $49 on Amazon. It's not worth that, but I don't really think it's ever going to be lower.

>>11486422
Kek Celebration "exclusive" btw. Feels like this always happens. So I’m not sure if I should hastily order Anakin and Obi-Wan or play the waiting game.

>>11486535
Hasbro is a complete mess. Never a clue where they're selling something.

>>11486535
>>11486537
The thing that sours these exclusives is they always do them right before or just as they're releasing a mainline version of the same figure. So most people are trained now to just wait instead. The ROTS set might be the only one to sell high volume for the first time in forever just because it's an instant display out of the box and they're all new versions. Though I really feel like they should have taken it a step further and done unique sculpting on their tunics that shows burning/lava damage and some extra deco to make it more desirable than just doing the mainline releases with a few extras.

This guy looks awesome. Especially for 12 bucks

>>11487368
Just don't open it. They have really shitty ankles that cause them to just topple over. I got so sick of mine falling over on the shelf that I just left them leaning against each other after they fell like dominos.

>>11487368
Biggest disappointment ever right there.

>>11487225
>done unique sculpting on their tunics that shows burning/lava damage and some extra deco
I was thinking this too, they look a little clean standing on those platforms

Just got these in. Not sure if I'll resell or keep. I don't remember Cal in this outfit though

>>11487453
near the end of the game cal gets a force vision of him getting caught with the holocron and is forced to be an inquisitor to keep the children on it safe, or something along those lines

>>11487460
Thanks. I can't wait for the next game.

>>11487453
Took a closer look while they're in the box and the paint app is terrible on Cal. Brown splotches on his face, right boot is missing a bunch of black paint and he's covered in smudges. If I do a Amazon return would I say the item is defective or product damaged?

>>11487593
Defective, but I don't think it matters

Is the current TVC X-wing any good? I don't generally have TVC figures, and not up to date on sculpts, reuse, etc. but the X-wing is just so iconic. Any chance they release an updated figure in couple years?

>>11488007
engineering-wise, it's fine but it's still underscaled if that matters to you.

>>11488007
Aren't the wings still sagging or drooping way down unless you prop them up with something

>>11488034
Are they? They still didn't fix that? I remember there being an issue with the tab that locks the wings where that would break too.

Course the big wing TIE fighters all self destruct too, so who the fuck knows.

How will the black series continue to survive when it already seemed like it was on its last legs? Will they reduce output as in number of unique figures, make most figures super rare like Todd has with his lines?

>>11489052
this year has honestly been pretty good for tbs
a fair amount of fan favourite glup shittos are getting figures and some most wanteds are getting re releases

>>11489052
Anniversaries

>>11486422
Worth even less when all you want is the R5 unit's Japanese paraphernalia, kek.

>>11489052
>seemed like it was on its last legs?
Guess you haven't been paying attention. They have been making a ton of all new sculpted figures and much less repaints/repacks than they used to have. Many highly requested figures are being checked off as >>11489079 said. I think black series is fine for now. TVC on the other hand...

Oops posted in the last thread like an idiot but,
I hate being a zoomer and liking star wars figures. You used to get so many clones/stormtrooper/battledroids for fairly cheap and now everything is super expensive even for the basic stuff.

>>11488007
I prefer the Kenner version. Vintage Collection is in a weird spot where they're too big to be played with, but also too small to be properly scaled with the figures.

>>11489227
Are you old enough to remember the revenge of the sith isles?

>>11489227
Yeah, we really were spoiled for years with all the variety of figures and vehicles being put out for affordable prices. Nowadays Hasbro will make a big deal about how much articulation they can put on a 3 3/4" figure, or how accurate it'll look and the face printing it has blah blah blah, but what do I care about that? I just want affordable toys that are fun to mess with. That's why I've been liking the Epic line recently. They're pretty fun figures, I hope they can keep improving the line.

>>11489266
Sadly not I was born in 2003. So I mostly have the clone wars style of figure
>>11489268
I feel its only going to get worse. With Gen Alpha and later Zoomers not being interested in toys but intead YT/Social Media its gonna further decline the already not stellar sales and as a result they are gonna pump up the price for adult collectors like Lego has done. I've got to give it to scale model companies. Their userbase has gone down from its peak but they havent hiked the price up to ridiculous levels.

>>11489268
I hope that line gets cancelled. It's a waste and taking away pegspace from the good figures. Not that they seem to ship to stores anymore anyway.

>>11486110
If the after market prices are double, then yes.

>>11489266
>revenge of the sith isles
Revenge of the Sith Island? That sounds fun

The Epic series is getting an Ep III Obi-Wan

>>11490025
Wow. How embarrassing that you care about that line.

>>11490228
Not as embarrassing as hating fun toys.

>>11490255
>fun
Hardly. They're trash.

>>11490258
In what way?
>Inexpensive
>Decent articulation
>Vehicles and concepts that TVC and BS won't do
>Easy to get and appealing to kids

>>11487368
He’s one of my favorite Star Wars figures.
Kinda reminds me of something out of 2000AD, Judge Dredd or ABCWarriors.

>>11487453
well the replacement had a worse looking boot and red scuffs on Cals black armor. The sister also had paint mishaps so I'll be keeping the original.

>>11487368
I have now bought the rest of the Credit collection.

>>11490263
ah yeah he reminds me of the bad guy robot from the Judge Dredd movie with Stallone

>>11490025
More like an inaccurate kitbash using the clone wars lower tunic and maybe even a repaint of Luke's torso. Also lame how only Vader and Obi-Wan have the added elbow and knee joints

>>11490318
>he fell for the credit collection meme
grim

>>11490456
they were cheap and look cool

>>11490228
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>11486108 (OP)
shitty idea aside.. would a leg swap between the assasin droid and sith apprentice maul be possible? i'm not sure if theyre both connected to the same ball joint, etc. would really appreciate any help with this. I just want this specific Maul to have the droids robot legs.

>>11491166
Those would look so bad they are too skinny and tall. Surely there are better droid legs that could be used. But also I'm pretty sure legs on very early black series figures don't use standard ball joints and can't easily be popped off with heat

>>11490456
Are credit collection figures ok to buy for literally $5 at Ollie's?

>>11491292
yes, they're fantastic

>>11491240
>Those would look so bad they are too skinny and tall
man i kind of like how they're skinny, the clone wars maul legs look too fleshy to me if that makes sense.

>>11491292
No they're ugly and lame disney slop I'd rather spend the money on a sandwich or something

>>11491326
It's gonna look retarded anon but you can do whatever you want with your toys I guess

>>11486108 (OP)
This set looks so good

Finally got her in. Hasbro shipping is slow as fuck. Also her face looks terrible. Not sure if I'll keep her or just sell her at a loss

>>11491438

>>11491438
>>11491440
Is it true if QC is off and botched a figure and you get it you're just SOL and there is no one you can complain to or return it to?

>>11491498
You can call Hasbro's customer service number and they may or may not be able to swap you out for a new figure. More often than not though, they won't have the same figure and will send you something of equal or lessee value. I've gotten some stinkers but I've also gotten some good shit. So it's really hit or miss. Regardless, they let you keep the fucked up figure and still send you at least something, so it's better than nothing. Hopefully you get Deanna. She's been there for years and has helped me a few times.

>>11491438
I remember overpaying for her and getting her from Australia when she was sold out everywhere. Once I got her she just felt kind of boring and underwhelming and eventually I sold her at a loss

>>11491292
Oh, hell no. What do you need that junk for?

>>11491556
cheap alternative to buying the regular versions that aren't worth $10-15 to me

>>11491498
well wish I got her from Amazon. At least they have easy returns

>>11491438
I'll buy her off you if you don't want her.

>>11492760
She's still in stock at hasbro.

>>11492831
I know, but if that poster doesn't want her, I have a chance for a better price than hasbro.

>>11493359
nah I'd charge what I paid

For whatever reason hasbro has put up a page for their Joe SDCC exclusive, but not any of the other brands. We can probably assume the Mustafarr set will have the same online availability dates though.
>Available online, for Pulse Premium Members only, during the SDCC launch, starting on 7/24 at 12:00 pm EST. While supplies last. Regular pre-order starts on 8/1

YakFace added a HasLab Vehicle to the TVC list. He already confirmed it's not the Death Star (if you would count that as a vehicle). I think a strong candidate is the Havoc Marauder since that could help finish off the rest of the Bad Batch crew. Could it be tied into the 2026 theme? Supposedly they're going to announce what that will be during their SDCC panel.

>>11494398
>since that could help finish off the rest of the Bad Batch crew
I mean the two bad batch figures listed above are most likely Tech and Wrecker so haslab isn't needed since they're already coming to mainline.

I heard 2026 will be prequel heavy for TVC. Lots of people have been asking for a gunship so could be that. Man that would suck for me desu. About a year ago I would have been so hyped for a gunship haslab and would have placed an order as soon as it went live. But now I don't care about Star Wars that much anymore and packed away my TVC collection. Gunship however would give me a serious dilemma on what to do because I still have lingering feelings for it and the prequels. So I'd prefer an imperial shuttle or something else I am firmly uninterested in so I can easily skip and rest easy without any regret

>>11494416
Thing is, I fully expect Hasbro to be assholes and make those other two figures their season 2 versions instead. This way if the HasLab is the Marauder, it would force people to go in on it in order to complete their season 1 looks.

I really like the droid depot stuff. I actually wish Disney would consider opening droid depot stores outside of Disneyland. I've paid retarded prices from ebay sellers because I just don't want to spend the time and hassle of going all the way to Disneyland to build a droid. But I love the build a bear idea of it. If they offered more colors and veriety of compatable parts, I think they could build a full franchise out of just the droids. Hell, charge $200+ for the droids outside of parks, and they could keep special colors or accessories park exclusive if they want.

>>11494426
I too like the Droid Depot. I bought a few with the intention of flipping the extras to people who couldn't make the trip to Disneyland, but ended up keeping 2 and custom painting them.

>>11494398
>>11494416
Is the Marauder wanted enough for this? Bad Batch wasn't as well received as TCW or even Rebels. I do want to complete the team but I'm not willing to pay $400+ for their ship and I feel like I'm not alone in that.

>>11494744
Yeah, if they make the rest of the crew a stretch goal for a Haslab ship, I'm just going to pass on Crosshair and not bother with the rest. I'm already mad that the Rebels designs if Hera and Sabine were exclusive to the Ghost set.

Bought my kid a couple of the Epic figures during Prime Day and decided to snag a Rex for myself since there isn't a TVC Phase I yet and I liked the blast effect. It's not bad at all for being like $7. The sculpt is pretty good and works well with the TVC Clones. Even the plastic kama is flexible enough that the legs aren't really hindered by it at all. Also I like that he has the accurate movie style belt instead of the animated one that the Phase II figure came with. Only funny thing is he has working holsters but since the blast effect is part of the mold on one of his blasters, you can't put it in the holster. Kinda wish it was a separate piece like Yoda's lightning effect but I can understand why they'd try to minimize a lot of small parts. It'll be a decent stand-in, especially after painting the blasters black.

>>11495552
Wow he actually doesn't look bad. Is the scale difference very noticeable?

>>11495552
why does the baby toyline have the best Rex/Phase 1 Helmet but not the TVC and TBS collector line...

>>11495640
Actually this helmet looks similar to the TVC/TBS ones to me. I wouldn't be surprised if it is the same with minor tweaks, since they share assets between lines and the epic line doesn't seem to be an exception because the Obi-Wan headsculpt looks exactly like the black series one

>>11495572
I feel like it's more noticeable in pictures than it is in person. Especially when you have them posed up.

>>11495640
>>11495675
There's definitely a few differences in the sculpt for the Epic compared to TVC but it's pretty close. It might have been based off the same base but they did things different like the vent on the back. You can also see the differences in the armor too.

>>11494744
Nobpdy even likes Bad Batch. It's ollies shit.

>>11494398
it's been rumored for a while it's going to either be a sandcrawler or an imperial shuttle both are tempting desu

>>11496029
TBB hasn't been cool since S1..that was what, 2020? 2021? No one cares about TBB anymore. It's filler slop.

>>11494398
>>11496059

Sounds gay as fuck, especially a shuttle for a haslab because the only reason it's big are the wings.

Star Destroyer or bust, but then they'd have to actually get creative and design a toy playset instead of just copying the boring drab interior of a CG model.

>>11496059
I almost hope it is a sandcrawler, just in hopes it drives down the price of the existing options.

>>11496251
You literally can get the Disney one, which is the biggest one with the most features, for under $200. Obviously any new haslab shit will be way more than that.

>>11496059
Rumored from who? I've never seen Jayson say anything about what it is other than confirming what it isn't.

>>11496493
Sometimes wishlists turn into "rumors"

Is this the best B1 toy? Is it worth the price? I'm a sucker for B1s, especially a larger scale, and possibly perfect articulation. But how is the actual build quality?

>>11496059
A sandcrawler seems likely to me because of the Tatooine theme this year and the cantina releasing soon. I don't think that there is a large market for a sandcrawler thougheverbeit, and the cantina barely succeeded.

>>11496624
The Cantina was already for the Return to Tatooine theme. Its included on the poster

Still no esb medical droid. Hasbro sucks.

>>11494398
>>11494744
>>11496157
>>11496251
Only worthwhile vehicles for a haslab would be a Tantive IV or a Star Destroyer

and agreed, they need features, not boring bullshit. I'd love to see a giant jabba's palace playset too, but not with their current boring as fuck design ethos of screen accurate garbage. The jabbas palace set with 100 pillows and bottles is an embarrassment. They should have dungeons and creatures popping out of walls and lights and droid torture areas and shit.

I bought one of these for a pretty good price minus the clone gunner. What clones do I buy to go with it? I haven't collected since RotS era & there are so many variations, colours etc. What would you go with anons.

Range Trooper dropped down to $12.49 at Target, so I snagged another to up my snowbro ranks. Not bad.
>>11497011
I'm jealous. I played a lot with a kid who had one of these back in the day and it was the sickest thing ever. So many good battles were fought with it at the center of it all. Good times. Hope you enjoy it.

>>11494426
What can they do beyond roll and bleep? I'm tempted to get one but every time I consider it the price for an animatronic droid makes me just consider going for the L0-LA droid.

>>11497011
>What clones do I buy to go with it?
If you want to keep the gunner with it then get phase one clones, specifically from the clone wars line for the animated look. Or don't use the gunner and fill it with whichever phase and legion you want. Or if you don't care about consistency then just get whatever clones you can find for cheapest

>>11496059
Both are bad choices

>>11497753
If you get more than one, they can interact, they also react to stuff in GE as you walk around. There is also a whole community for customizing them with custom paint and accessories.

>>11497753
The heads turn by controls and light up with beep boops, if you get the add ons you get blaster or jet booster sounds. They have other tool/weapon accessories that just attach. The blutooth communication feature is hit and miss. Most times your droid will go into sleep mode before it can trigger, but I've not had much experience with mine walking around the park. Like the other anon mentioned most of the fun is customization and then other than that it's just a fun R/C. I use mine at little local conventions sometimes.

>>11497753
It depends on how much you like droids.

Also they have a kit to turn any R unit into a biped.

>>11498469
Can it walk? If not there's no point

>>11498469
That's kind of cute

>>11498469
God, no

Got my Doom unit Heavy from Veils in the mail today. Goddamn is this guy cool. These things really are better than official figures. If only they weren't so pricey, army building these guys'll cost you an arm and a leg...

>>11498569
Damn he looks fucking cool. I still want to get at least one of them but I'm trying not to buy anything extra until I get all my preorders in from Pulse that got delayed.

>>11494426
>>11498469
I want to get a droid (and would buy a bunch of accessories) but I don't live in the US and I'm not planning an international trip just to go to Disneyland.
Though, if they ever did HK parts (or even better, a HK personality chip) then I'd sell off my old magic cards and book a trip the moment I see the announcement.
Also
>pic
I love it. It's jank as fuck but I love it.

>>11499041
They also have a line called droid factory, their are two versions, the 3"1/4 scale droids, and then the roughly on third scale droids. Most are park exclusive, but you can find sellers on ebay flipping new in box stuff. I would just check ebay for what you're looking for.

>>11499041
There are custom chip makers.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1LWtA1iy9hubl5aNsTD3SwjG_DnkL9mE

>>11488007
I just got it and it's pretty good. A LITTLE janky and dated but it actually is pretty great once you got the TVC R2 and Luke in there. It is dated, but the paint apps are great, I was low key was thinking maybe I should hold off in case of a new fully kitted x wing release. But they might do another ship like Wedge's, and it will prob cost $140 or something, and I will get it either way probs.

If you want it to display for fun it does the job if you wanna wait 1 to 4 years for a new one at $140 to $160 MAYBE a new one will come out, but like the E wing prob lack as good of paint apps and the scale should remain the same and maybe even look not that much different.

>>11496624
Personally I'd love for the Imperial Shuttle to be like a $250 Hasbro pulse made to order exclusive rather than a Haslab but if it's a fully new kitted larger one there's no way it's not gonna be a $500 Haslab.

I'd be okay with them scaling up the last "buck" and giving it a real interior for not a crazy made to order price.

I'd personally want a properly scaled (doesn't mean to scale but scales like biggest Falcon/Ghost) Outrider with Dash Render and robot. But I don't think that's gonna happen.

I'd be okay with them holding off on the deathstar for a year or two.

>>11496157
Curious how a Star Destroyer would be done as you imagine it?
>>11497818
What would you pick?
>>11496493
You understand Jayson isn't the only authority on this? It's been rumored for years to be on the rooster more over the rumors are actually from people who work within the companies
Sorry can't and won't give you more than that, get over it these are rumors take them or leave them who cares.

>>11498486
It can barely stand. Also avoid the BB unit. It sucks.

>>11499075
>You understand Jayson isn't the only authority on this? It's been rumored for years to be on the rooster more over the rumors are actually from people who work within the companies
I never said he was but he is the most consistently accurate and reports often. And where do you think he gets his information from?

>Sorry can't and won't give you more than that, get over it these are rumors take them or leave them who cares.
I'm just asking for the source because no forums, fansites, or insiders I look at daily have shown any indication as to what it is. YakFace is the only one to even give a hint that there's one coming this year and say what it definitely is not. No need to sound so butthurt.

>>11498569
What about the smell? I got a P1 Rex and months later he still smells very strongly like he was just taken out of the mold. That's even after like five washes in dish soap

>>11499075
I'd love a nice outrider with interior. If only the line was still being run with the same design ethos as back in 2010 or so that would have really had a shot at some point.

I'm one of the people beating the drum for a star destroyer. I think the way to do it is simple: outer shell like a standard star destroyer, interior primarily details from Vader's star destroyer and some OC stuff. The regular ones are iconic and yet most scenes happen on Vader's Executor. Have all sorts of lights and features inside, and it would be in the size range of the ghost, the big MF and jabbas sail barge.
I taped up my floor a while back with stuff I was imagining for it. I think particularly fun would be the hologram area, we have the technology that's been used in the Tron toys and plenty of little electronic pet toys where they could actually approximate holograms with some curved screens. Or could just go easy with translucent figures and a light. Or maybe have a swap out function for both options.

Anyway, here you go pic related.

>>11499777
I was surprised that he didn't smell at all. I saw that was a complaint in some videos about these clones, but mine didn't have that problem.
Also, nice trips.

It's now official

>>11500026
>inb4 $600 because of t-ack

>>11500026
Fuck that

>>11499902
Oh man that's an awesome concept actually.
I saw a lot of boomers in TVC FB groups wig out if you suggest something like a Star Destroyer because "it won't be to scale", as if the other Haslabs are even.

>>11500026
Come on baby let it be an Outrider!

>>11500251
So sandcrawler? Or just showing off the cantina

>>11500251
I'm gonna be honest I'm gonna be super disappointed if it's a Sandcrawler.

Could be a fake out but it is one of the most demanded items. The figure offerings would have to be insanely cool to get me.

>>11499902
I’m too cheap to buy it but I like your idea and appreciate the time you took to map / measure it out. Well done anon.

>>11500266
If we're going off last year's campaign, then we can assume the item is tied to next year's theme. The only clue we have on that is when Mr. Stevie said it's a "different era". So it's very possible it could be a PT themed and that sand is meant to represent Geonosis.

>>11500296
Or it could be something related to Andor and Rogue One's tenth anniversary and it's something related to Scarif? A U-wing would be cool

>>11500304
>please care about Anbore guys
No

>>11500304
Every Andor figure has gone on discount, no way they'd put out a haslab for it. The people who like Andor are not people who support toy sales.

>>11500026
>>11500251

>>11500356
This would be too based

>>11500351
Not sure that's really a good argument with these things. Plenty of people were vocal about backing the Ghost despite not liking Rebels because they just want to support TVC projects in hopes of getting something they do want. Also you don't need to be a fan of Andor to want a Rebel dropship. You don't even have to pack the character in with it.

I'm starting to suspect that is not a Sandcrawler then but a Republic Gunship to scale during the battle of of Genonosis really the only other thing that makes sense to me.
Everything else would be too obscure.

>>11500369
I haven’t owned any Star Wars figures since I was a kid but if it’s a gunship that scale or the mother fucking battle arena I will throw my wallet at hasbro

>>11500369
>>11500375
Gunship would be cool but not for a haslab. Honestly the original mold had a ton of releases and it was already based. It did everything it needed to do, had tons of features, they even eventually released proper pods for it. Yeah it was a bit out of scale but it was fantastic, and a slightly larger slightly more detailed one for a haslab just feels like a let down. They should be doing big crazy stuff, not slightly large ships that should be retail releases.

>>11499902
I never wanted this before but you make a hell of a compelling pitch.

>>11500380
>They should be doing big crazy stuff, not slightly large ships that should be retail releases
While I agree, it's the retailers that don't want big ships apparently which is why HasLabs are our only avenue to get them now.

I love this setup

Looks like there's two mounting holes in the display table like it's going to be supporting something hovering off the ground. A gunship would make sense for that.

Can't wait for Barriss Coffee to arrive.

>>11500251
It's.... just sand.

>>11500380
Honestly it makes sense given the ROTS release leaks for next year. And DESU it does make sense as a Haslab given how large they actually are. Don't get me wrong I'm not going to get it, which I'm fine holding off another year for maybe a Deathstar next year.


Also doing research on the secondary market for Haslabs I'm betting the Cantina will go as crazy as the Sail barge since it already sells for $2000 before anyone has it in hand. It will prob settle at $2000 to $3000 in the end like the Barge but when the fomo post hands on goes on bet it will go as high as $5000.

Also -- Long term given how the rest of the Haslabs have gone I'm guessing the following if this is a Gunship.
It will sell as well as the Ghost or better because it seems to appeal to newcomers/zoomers. In the end it will prob go for double/$1000 on the secondary depending. But can see it going high long term to $2000 and upwards.
There will be people buying like 4 if it's a Gunship I'm guessing also.

>>11500667
On that note I actually do agree it's dumb to make it a Haslab rather than a made to order piece since it has huge resell potential (repaints etc)

I'm still kinda hoping it's something weird and unexpected in a good way.

>>11500617
It's salt

>>11500393
It is pretty good.

>>11500667
I hope it's not the Gunship. I would rather they make a Haslab Black Series Republic Gunship that is true to scale. It'll basically be the closest we can get to a Huey Helicopter except not really for roughly 1/12 figures to fit in.

>>11500739
I fear there won't be a Black Series Haslab anytime soon and that's prob far too big for the scale sadly.

>>11500404
If that is supposed to be Geonosis or Scariff, it would bug me that they were so lazy they couldn't even get the right colored sand for their display.

Finally got it in & wow, its much bigger than I thought. Got to look for a load of clones. Will also need droids for them to fight lol.

TVChads win again

Very lackluster soft goods.

>>11501006
???
This looks amazing to me

>>11501005
This was definitely a surprise. Glad they included both heads for Anakin

>>11501006
>When you nut, but she keeps sucking

>>11501006
We keep on winning blacked bros

>>11501018
No attempt at texturing whatsoever, makes it look very cheap. They could've made the lighter red overlay a soft plastic with sculpting to break it up a little.

>>11501006
These heads are hilarious but the lightning parts seem really anemic compared to past black series lightning.

>>11501006
Terrible Sheev honestly, like >>11501028 says teh robes look incredibly cheap and like >>11501035 says the lightning looks oddly weak. I doubt he has great articulation either.

>>11501006
Holy shit those suuuucck

>>11501005
>>11501020
Why the fuck didn’t they include both with the BS release then?

>>11501006
I was looking forward to this but I'm not so enthusiastic about it now

>>11501006
Yikes Sheev looks like some unlicensed 3rd party shit

>>11501020
Boring. Still waiting for a prequel Yoda

>>11501006
This looks pretty good honestly, not sure why everyone is hating on it…

>>11501006
Meanwhile over at GI Joe
>textured cloth
>dual color
>actual forms to the figure
What is the SW design team even doing at this point?

>>11501006
I like the head, but those he soft goods are absolutely terrible. He's gonna look so out of place in a display. Gonna wait for the inevitable re-release. Hopefully they do a hard plastic version like they did with Ronin (though those soft goods were actually good).

>>11501108
Notice how excited the GI Joe team is? They love the product and making it. The SW team hates it. They hate us. They hate trying to budget this garbage.

We already have both republic gunships and u-wings

But if you're going to do one up in tvc and correct some of the scaling issues

Please god let it be the u-wing because the scaling on that fucker is just so comically bad

>>11501191
First pledge tier unlock will be an extra nerf dart for the nerf dart launcher

Must be hard seeing all kinds of innovative in other lines, and you're stuck with the dogshit handcuffs Disney/Lucasfilm put on you.

>>11501108
It’s an in house property and they’re not paying licensing fees. This shit is never comparable and you know it.

>>11501211
Time for it to be

It's like an angry marshmallow

>>11501086
You probably like the sequels and Kenobi

>>11501236
That could happen if you are fine paying $30+ for a standard figure

Palps has the BOBF Luke body underneath again just like Sidious. And they are still shopping out the pin knee joints...

>>11501333
And? You faggots know what you’re getting with black series. Either buy it or don’t.
Vintage is where the love is.

>>11501186
The sad truth with Star Wars is that the entire franchise can best be described as "low morale" across the board. Even the people who like the modern Disney stuff are not happy with Star Wars because it's so obvious that it's a brand that's on its way to getting mothballed.

Mandalorian and Grogu is basically going to be the final nail in the coffin. The budget-friendly Mandalorian figures that came out last year did not make the waves Hasbro was hoping and the vehicles quickly ended up on clearance, so I have no idea what they actually expect to happen when the movie comes out but it's certainly not going to be a miracle. Mandalorian is just another aspect in which Lucasfilm ran the Star Wars IP into the dirt and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, so now the best we can hope for is a few more decent releases from Vintage Collection and Black Series before the franchise goes on hiatus.

It saddens me that the cheaper toys failed because i don't like Vintage Collection vehicles-- I think they're way too big to feel like toys, and they miss the point of having smaller scale figures. They're large environments to pose figures around, and they fail to elicit the child like joy I felt when I got my POTF2 toys in the 90s. The Epic Heroes vehicles were unfortunately a far cry from the old Kenner ones but at least they were trying to be affordable and the right scale to play with. It's just a shame that Star Wars is in this state where something has to either be ultra detailed and collectable or kiddy and plastic feeling, and there's no sense of what the "real" Star Wars action figure line is anymore.

Got my new landspeeder in today, hadn't realized how overdue I was for an update there

>>11501362
So far as I can tell it's a reissue of the Legacy Collection version. I got one on eBay last year, it's a big upgrade over the Kenner version. Not anything new but it's at least nice that they put it back on shelves after so long.

Now if they reissue the Vintage Collection snow speeder I'm gonna feel real stupid for paying $100 for mine on eBay, but if it comes with Dack and an updated Luke I could see myself picking up a second if it's cheap enough. The snow speeder, land speeder and speeder bike are among the few toys I can think of where I actually prefer the Vintage Collection versions over the Kenner ones, probably in part because the size isn't much different and they're overall just a lot better.

>>11501370
>So far as I can tell it's a reissue of the Legacy Collection version.
It's a completely new sculpt

>>11501385
No, it’s the legacy collection rereleased.

>>11501337
>Vintage is where the love is.
Lol?
Both lines are trash

>i’ll try spinning, that’s a good trick

>>11501397
NTA but he's correct. It is a completely new vehicle.

>>11501498
>Figure does not fly.
Well damn

>>11501018
Same here I'm gonna get those two

So these Sheev and Windu pack its exclusive to whom?

>>11501397
No it isn't. They even said it was redone when they first officially revealed it on stream. You can see the clear differences in the sculpting.

>>11501623
>hey look we slightly tweaked the sculpt even if it’s not more accurate so you feel like you’re not buying the same thing 5 times over
Oh Hasbro

>>11501631
But it is more accurate. And it's not a slight tweak, it's a full ground up remake. They don't even have those old sculpts anymore.

>>11499902
This is really well thought out and feels like a terrific companion to the Big Millennium Falcon. Unfortunately we'll never see anything with that level of electronics and function ever again. Still, nice work anon.

>>11501631
If you think that is just "slight tweaks" then I hope you don't drive a car, because you're fucking blind.

There will be a follow up stream to the SDCC panel
