>>11599946
In less exciting news, prices have increased across Hasbro products by a significant amount. Even on inventory that's currently sitting on shelves now. Will this impact your decision to continue collecting Star Wars?

>>11599946
Some of these are very baffling to me.

>>11599949
Not much of a reason to keep collecting with prices like this. Army building goes out the window fast, and they're going to produce even less world building and background characters.

>>11599946
Why are Anbore slop pegwarmers on this every single time? Also 7 of these, Pelli, Palpatine, Krell, C-3PO, Wrecker, Faggot, and Arleil are pretty much guaranteed to come out next year.

>>11599952
Which ones?

>>11599966
Nothing is guaranteed in this line anymore. That's why these fan polls have to happen to begin with.

>>11599946
Why is the toy industry dying?

>>11599946
>absolutely zero troopers/armybuilders
Yep, disappointed but fully expected that to be how it'd go.

>>11599949
Extremely unhappy with both hasbro and myself about the price hike on the snowtrooper 4-pack, with them for doing it and with myself for not buying a few more before it happened. It's not gonna make me quit collecting, but it's definitely gonna push me to wait for sales on things that aren't huge priorities for me, because there's no way I'd be able to afford armybuilding otherwise.

>>11600043
That stinks. I think I'm pretty much done preordering anything at this point and will just wait for sales. Of course the shitty thing is that means sale prices are just going to be the old MSRP so it won't ever feel like much of a deal. Might make an exception for something like the rumored Cantina 4-pack but definitely won't be bothering with single carded releases or the army builder sets.

It's really funny that General Lando, Ewok Leia and Reva are still hanging around at Walmart and they're now expected to somehow sell at $27.99

>>11600075
Pretty sure you can already buy all of those for less than half their retail online.

>>11599949
Unironically this is the death knell of the line. Only so many whales, there's just not going to be enough attention to an already dwindling franchise.

>>11599949
TBS sculpting has mostly caught up to and surpassed imports from 5-10 years ago and we are still paying below $35-$45 per figure.

$28+ isn't too bad for me but I wont put up with reused sculpts from 2013, 2014, 2015 and etc. I've also reduced my army building from 7-9 figures to just 2 (because space and change of desires).

>>11599949

I'm kind of one foot out the door already, though this doesn't help. I'm down for anything EU or ROTJ related in either scale, but that's about it. Only upcoming figure that I'm actually looking forward to is Kyle.

>>11599949
Eh, I've gone literal years without collecting a single Black Series figure. I will admit, this year, they released some bangers with the SotE stuff, the ANH, reissuing missing Jedi from the PT, and giving us a new Ani and Obi, but other than the new Jango (the old one is so bad) and maybe the new BoBF, I think I may be done with collecting SW stuff outside a random Clone here and there, and even then, my PT shelf is so stuffed with Clones I just have to call it a day. I've limited myself to two Army Builders per unit now due to space anyway, so army building is out for me. I already have a nice 501st squad of Clones and a good number of Stormies so I'm good there. Still, sucks. I'd hate to be just getting into collecting right now.

>>11599949
Black series prices don't bother me. Like >>11600199 said the sculpting on new figures is so good that I think they are worth it. $20 for 3.75” is wack though but there's not too much left that I still want now. I packed all my TVC into a box and don't really care about displaying them anymore. I am probably only going to display the haslab gunship so will likely only get figures that can interact with that. For black series I think I’m done too though there is an ESB Boba on the yak face rumor list which I’m curious about.

>>11599949
Glad I got a Luke, $15 Vader, $10 Palps and a bunch of $4.99 OT Black Series figures from Ollie's when they dropped the price. I'd say that's a fair price for an IP that will slowly now fade away. Needless to say I don't think they will produce anything more that I need.

>>11599949
Can you imagine someone paying $23 for a Sequel figure? Holy shit, it's suicide.

>>11599976
Kleya, Pelli. I understand wanting them but not so desperately as to be in anybody's Top 10, much less an aggregate top 12. Luthen I get because he's a great character and Saw and Baze I understand for the sake of completion. C-3PO is the most obvious on that list. He's in mine too.

I dunno man. There are so many major characters/costumes that could still use good versions or updates. I sympathize with not wanting a line that consists of nothing but main characters and troopers, but do I want Sim Aloo or Clone Trooper Ninja Turtle over a new Bespin Luke? No fucking way.

>>11600532
I seriously don't know who is still buying ST stuff. Even 10 bucks is too much for most of that. If it's a cool alien design or something or a bounty hunter it might be worth better, but for the base characters...whew, why would people spend more than clearance prices?

I don't know who they based that new TVC Ben Kenobi on, but it sure as shit isn't Alec Guinness, Jesus.

>>11600624
There's some ST stuff I want in TVC. A decent Kylo would be nice. TROS Emperor would also be nice. I don't expect any of it, though.

>>11600648
I see a lot of Guinness in it, but it's not perfect. It reminds me of the TBS sculpt.

>>11599946
>all this (((disney))) slop

>>11600720
Disney fans are the only ones left still collecting and engaging with the brand

It's kind of insulting that we can't get a new Threepio sooner than ten years from now.

>>11599946
Absolute fucking garbage. Just when you think 1/12fags can't get any more embarrassing 1/18niggers blow out of the fucking gate with all these ugly old hags. Not a single trooper. Barely any aliens. Not one good legends EU character. All this Disney slop and no frog lady. Fucking embarrassing.

>>11599942 (OP)
>Prime Padme
Wouldn't that be Phantom Menace?

>>11599946
Oof

>>11600020
I'd buy Luthen. Saw Gerrera probably deserves a figure at this point but I don't want it.

>>11600849

>$30 a figure Rey Skinwalker movie figures coming
>kills Star Wars once and for all

>>11599946
C3PO is already in production.
They're just doing this promo to up the hype.

Hasbro is watching. They are seeing how collectors use their figures--how most just A pose them on shelves. They are cutting back on articulation. You must show them you demand high articulation, or we will return to the 1980s

>>11601375
I mean, to be fair, I don't need Han Solo hitting Spider-Man level poses.

>>11601377
Well I do because I have an imagination.

>>11601379
I mean you do you, but the vast majority of adult collectors aren't going to be playing with their toys like children do. Sorry, but it's true.

>>11601377
Do you need your Han Solo to be able to bend his ankles? Then better get with the program.

>>11601390
I collect Black Series, so all my Han's do have ankle rockers. Maybe don't collect a scale for babies?

>>11601383
That doesn't mean they don't pose them. Even now those adult collectors are complaining because the older figures for the Cantina can't even fucking sit.

>>11601394
Black Series will be phasing out ankle rockers by 2028

>>11601394
Black Series is the scale for babies. They're larger so morons like you can't choke on them when you put them in your mouth.

>>11600546
Kleya was surprising to me. I would like her to be made but what would she go with? If they make Luthen, then he'll likely be the same one that was made for Black Series and that wouldn't really work for her since they never interacted in the same space together when he was in that costume.

Peli was on my list so I'm glad she's there. I think she deserves to be made at this point since she fills a spot for the Razor Crest HasLab and the N-1. To me she's a glaring omission from that source alongside season 1 Greef Karga in TVC. I find it weird she's been missing from both lines for so long to be honest. Figured Black Series would at least have her by now considering they could pack her with the droids they've made too.

But yeah, it's crazy that no army builders made it this time. I'm also surprised so many people still want Qimir. Figured support for him would have fizzled out by now.

>>11601474
>I'm also surprised so many people still want Qimir.
I'm not, but it's surprising that he's above characters like Kylo Ren. Part of the problem with these polls every year is that people approach them with different goals/mindsets.

The head swap for the Night Troopers looks pretty great. The only minor gripe I have, is the white of the Boba Fett Stormie heads are a much starker white compared to the off egg shell white of the Night Trooper body. I am pretty darn happy with it overall. I also like the Boba Fett figure as well. The Temuera Morrison head sculpt is scary accurate for a figure this size.

>>11600873
I feel a virgin in the Force.

>>11600873
Out of 10!

ZDToys showed off prototypes for a 7" line

>>11601799
I mean that's interesting and the articulation doesn't look shit but what can they offer that black series or the 3 inch doesn't

>>11601799
How timely

What are your guys' thoughts on who these could be? We know one of the blues is Kyle Katarn.

Best guesses, based on rumors:
Blue: Kyle
Blue: Dooku (TotJ)
Green: Quinlan Vos
Red: Eleventh Brother

Personal Wishlist:
Blue: Kyle Katarn
Blue: Juhani (KOTOR 2-pack)
Green: Jolee Bindo (KOTOR 2-pack)
Red: Dark Bastila

>>11602033
>Blue: Dooku (TotJ)
>Red: Eleventh Brother
Yeah blue and red are probably these. Looks like Yakface removed his rumor list but I remember Dooku was on there. Green being Quinlan would be good but desu I could see it being anyone of a number of other characters as well

>>11602033
I see Ollie's fodder

>>11602033
>Blue: Juhani (KOTOR 2-pack)
>Red: Dark Bastila
Im wishing with you

>>11601799
This will fail. Everyone who collects Black Series only wants 6" and the market for Star Wars goods is already at its lowest in a long time. No way will someone be able to succeed with a 7" line when so many black series are literally at Ollie's for 4.99. Even heavy hitters that they have there are going for cheap--I bought a Boba Fett off ebay for around 14 bucks, a Vader for 8.50 at Walmart during a sale.

>>11602068
I don't think new Star Wars figures get released in stores anymore, at least in my state. The only figures I see are the same old Darth Vader, Mando and a few others. And if they don't go to physical stores then they won't go to Ollie's.

Haven't seen anything Nu Wars since the awful Sequels, so I've got no real interest in any figures of the new stuff, but I picked up Neel from Ross for $8 today. He kinda gives me the vibes of being Max Rebo's little gay bastard son or something lmao. I'm surprised at how fun he is to mess with. Of all figures for them to put effort into, I wouldn't think it'd be this. Couldn't imagine paying $25+ though, sheesh.

>>11602592
Skeleton Crew turned out to be far from the worst thing Disney Wars has done and Neel was the heart of the show. If they only make one more figure from that show in TVC then I hope they choose him.

>>11602592
He hot

>>11602592
Are yours' ankles loose as fuck? I went through three of the things, I don't know how they screwed that up.

>>11602650
>I jerk off to elephant diaper fur cub porn

>>11601797
Y[spoiler]no[/spoiler]

>>11602654
Nah, they seem fine enough. Not any worse than any other figure. The only issue I had is that his left ear had the paint all splotchy like that in-package, but since he was the only one there that's what I had to settle for.

>>11602592
>hands

>>11602654
Ankles have been a problem with Black Series I've noticed. Like the damn Dark Troopers. I can't even display those fucking things anymore because they all would topple over if my cat farted. I got so sick of them dominoing the entire shelf they were on.

>>11602797
I have the same issue with my Dark Trooper. I have him poster in a way that the foot joint locks at the best angle. It's only on foot too... odd, right? I learned my lesson and put him at the front of the shelf so he only hits the glass if he slumps and falls. I have this same issue with the New Republic Security Droid.

>>11601799
Darth Vaders face grill is already turning me off.
McFarlane has pumped out 7in and I don't really care for that size.

>>11599966
I feel like whoever runs this is fudging the results because they are such garbage choices aka stuff we prob will get.

>>11602797
Its actually a problem with most of Hasbro's stuff in general. I collect way more GI Joe Classified figures than Black Series, and there's an issue with loose ankles over there too.

>>11602895
I can tell you with certainty if they were fudging the results, two Andor characters would not be on there

>>11599949
>mfw the same Landos sitting on the same pegs for almost 8 years now at the local Walmart
These fucks couldn't sell at 20 much less 28

>>11603016
I doubt any more landos will be general releases that go to stores

>>11603016
What the fuck is it about Lando that makes him immune to going to clearance? I was just at Walmart and saw 5 of the TVC version still sitting there. And with the new $19 price, there's no fucking way they're ever going to sell.

>>11603328
Representation is provided consistently in the toy aisles by Lando figures. They have representation quotas at major retailers that boys action figure and girls doll sections must consistently meet. Lando adds constency and allows stores to order new SKUs without worrying about whether they need the SKUs to be of a certain make up for them to continue to meet the quota.

>Dubs and a solid collection

>>11599942 (OP)
When's her figure?

>>11603399
wow pretty good collection

release the McCallum files!

>>11603016
Kek. My local WM raised their Landos to $20
>>11603328
>What the fuck is it about Lando that makes him immune to going to clearance?
Its CurrentYear and you really have to ask this stupid question? Lando is now an asset, because he's "representation" that DOESN'T have to be included in future shipments and he was purchased at much cheaper rates. Every store can now claim they are serving that community without taking in more inventory and Hasbro can get back to making assortments of better selling (not by much) characters. WM doesn't want to be accused of "racism" for clearancing out Lando.

>>11603444
nobody watched Acolyte, and I really can't recommend that you do, but they put the Lop bunny's droid in it. (even if they kinda adjusted it to look less-cartoon-y)

I would also want a proper Lop (and her droid) figure, but I fear they would mess it up, so...

>>11603761
Then why did they clearance out Moff Gideon and Greef Karga?

>>11603924
no need to give the retard any (You)s anon

>>11603870
You have a point, there's studios out there that could do a great Lop but I don't have any faith in Hasbro

>>11603444
I'm surprised they didn't do an SHF of her by now. They shouldn't have wasted it on the twins and instead done Lop and Ronin.

>>11604173
I am not trying to shit in anyone's cereal, but the Twin's episode was downright horrible and very poor character designs.

>>11604173
>>11604386
they should have made the masked jedi from the bride episode

>>11603870
This dumb slut is now clogging up every Ross around here.

Hot Toys finally announced Bespin Han

>>11604637
It’s weird that he comes with those gloves, correct me if I’m wrong, but I only remember him having those in ANH.

This set got leaked. Yakface says it's an Amazon exclusive and should be shipping in February. Probably going to be one of the reveals at MCM tomorrow.

>>11604767
How lame

>>11604767
I was thinking literally yesterday a phase 1 Coruscant Guard would be cool. I am not really into the training droids though. This one with the orange is better than the all white one with the clone commando. But very odd to get these when they haven't even made the more prominent red and blue security and pilot variants

Didn't think I was going to get TBS Han and Chewie but I'm glad I did because they are crazy good. Think this is the definitive 1/12 Chewbacca, not that there are many alternatives. The only gripe I have is the bowcaster kinda sucks. I hate that they keep making it two separate pieces because the bar thing always falls out easily. It's not as bad as on 3.75" versions though which annoy the hell out of me. Also Chewie's trigger finger weirdly sits behind the trigger and I don't think there is enough space to put it in front...

Han is great too but sometimes I can feel myself struggling against the lack of thigh swivel. On some figures no thigh swivel is not so bad because they have big ball sockets to compensate but Han does not.

But it's mostly minor things with these two imo. Recent black series figs that I've picked up like Anakin, Obi-Wan, the Sandtrooper have been fantastic and have really impressed me.

Also Pulse finally sent my TVC shock troopers. One has pretty sloppy paint on the helmet but it's whatever. I hope there will be a new Palpatine next year since black series got one.

>>11604936
I'm not into TBS but I think that Han is very good too. I think the new TVC Han has a better likeness but the hair sculpt lets it down. That TBS Han might be their best overall Han Solo in either scale.

i have a self-storage full of og series and the 90s/prequel stuff, no idea how i'm going to find the time to go through it all

Top 6 for LFS after the first round of voting. Luthen took the top spot with 930 votes. Arliel, last year's winner, is #2 with 868. Kleya narrowly made the #6 spot with 742 votes, just barely beating out both Sim Aloo and Palpatine who had 732 each.

>>11604980
I love Andor but that's bizarre shit.

>>11604980
Also Yakface hinted at who will be getting revealed tomorrow. Based on this information and who got knocked out, it likely is going to be Qimir/The Stranger. Another leaker posted a clue that it will be Qimir for TVC as well as Season 3/4 Kanan Jarrus after he was blinded for Black Series.
