>>10953508The Epic Heroes Series (4" scale) is receiving its first vehicle, The Mandalorian's N-1 starfighter that will retail for $34.99 and clocking in at 17" long and 9" wide. A suitable contender if you did not want to pay for the TVC version. Other vehicles and speeders are slated to follow.
>>10953510In recent news, YakFace has posted that Target has zeroed out all of its DPCI's for TVC in their system and priced everything to $0.00. There is, so far, no indication this is just part of their seasonal reset and will be adding the figures back into their system so far now effectively TVC will not be carried at Target stores. If you have a store near you, it may be worth checking out to pick up last remaining items for very cheap. Some people have reported they were able to purchase lingering items for as little as 5 cents because of the $0 price it rings up at.
>>10953506If TVC really does end i have no reason to collect star wars anymore. I refuse to get into blacked series and if hasbro decides to truly abandon 3.75 then they will have no interest from me anymore. It kills me that i maybe seeing the toyline that ive collected since i was a literal small child be ending in this way
>>10953511This does not mean TVC as a line is ending, as was posted by the Product Director for the Star Wars brand at Hasbro, Mr. Stevie. This just means Target stores won't carry the line, which still is not great however.
>>10953515TVC isn't ending, don't worry. Remember they are still announcing a TVC HasLab next month. We have stuff in the pipeline for the next year. At worst the line itself just becomes a Fan Channel/online only thing which half of the recent pre-orders have been anyway.
Finished up a little back alley of Mos Eisley. Here's a few shots I was having fun with.
>>10953582
>>10953516Too bad they can't figure out how to keep the line viable. More clones, more boring women! WEE.
>>10953587
>>10953518Well if Wal-Mart and Target drop out of distributing the line, the definitely hurts its budget going forward.
>>10953590I want more aliens goddamnit. Maybe if they do go fan channel only theyll be able to do more niche characters like cantina aliens again
>>10953516>the Star Wars brand at Hasbro, Mr. Stevie.This is the same Mr Stevie that said the Marvel Retro 3.75in line was not cancelled, but put on hiatus. I'm not saying he's lying, just laughing at the connection.Personally, my belief is that 3.75in isn't cancelled. There's possibly a shakeup with retailers, maybe Target is dropping it, maybe they are just resetting. But they will still crank out releases for Hasbro Pulse, etc. Losing Target will hurt new sculpts, but they can rerelease old molds all year long if they wanted to.Do I care any more? No, not really. I just want a great update to ANH Luke, Han, and Obi Wan, maybe Tarkin, but Hasbro barely touches the OT these days, and that's all I'm buying except shit like the upcoming lazy rerelase of an older R2D2 mold. I still want more Cantina & Jabba's Palace denizens, so I'll always buy them, but IDGAF about the non OT shit.
This thing is so sick
>>10953511>>10953610Who even shops at Target? Their food is ridiculously expensive, their furniture is dorm filler, do they have super cheap makeup or something? Am legit a curious how they make money
>>10953516100% it's probably moving to online retailer, Hasbro Pulse, and Haslab, while 3.75 gets replaced by Epic Heroes as we come full circle back to lower acticulation figures.
>>10953758and what drawer did the main star of the set go into? kekgood lookin droid, have you taken the face off yet?
>>10953510Man, all I want from this line are some Snowtroopers so I can finally build an army en masse without spending an obscene amount of money.
>>10953610Brah, Target dipping out of 1:18 figures almost a decade back led to Walmart carrying the 1:18 line exclusively.With TRU gone... are sales really so shit that Hasbro is going to lower the minimum orders a line can get to continue supporting it?
>>10953582>>10953587>>10953591Nice work, Anon
>>10953806it's 4inch scale and $10/figure. You should be able to get older POTF2 Snowtroopers for cheaper and those are 1:18, both would have the same articulation
Star Wars is dead at retail
>>10953830>Target dipping out of 1:18 figures almost a decade back led to Walmart carrying the 1:18 line exclusivelyYes, and that era was an insanely bleak time for 1:18 scale Star Wars collecting. We’d get like 4 or 5 new super articulated figures a year.
>>10953842Better paint too than a modern release would have too. For all the reasons POTF2 gets slandered, paint should not be one of them. In terms of paint apps and plastic quality, POTF2 is leagues better than any 5POA line Hasbro has tried in recent years. I don’t mind 5POA figures. I do mind when they look like dollar store crap through, which POTF2 never did. Those figures were built like tanks.
>>10953758>This thing is so sick it vomited all over itself
>>10953806>>10953842With enough time/patience you could hunt ebay for the old 2007 articulated snowtroopers and pay $10 (or less) per trooper, that figure's not perfect by any means but it's infinitely better than whatever might eventually come from epic heroes. Making them 5poa and not even semi-pre-posed like some of the Solo figures was an irredeemable fuckup, the only good thing that might come from the line is some vehicles, assuming they eventually branch out into things that don't already exist from TVC/previous 3.75" lines.
>>10953506what is this about TVC ending I see?Why would it end? I dont get it..? 3.75 star wars has always been a thingwell come to think of it now when the last 3 movies released there was no tvc, it was weird. black series was also 3.75 if i recall. But I remember i didn't collect 3.75 star wars at the time cause the toys sucked... so tvc does feel somewhat recent and like it can be canceled I guess. I hope not cause the paint and everything is perfect aside whatever those hip joints are.
>>10954049Just TARGET in America dropping them.
>>10953591I like how this guy looks like he's tugging at his collar cuz it's hot out
>>10952894true, but I am autistic and it bothers me
>>10954049It's not ending, it just came out that Target doesn't list them in their system now after their reset, so they are likely dropping it for now. Also the hip joints are normal barbell style now like G.I. Joes used for any newly sculpted figure from 2022 onwards.
>>10954049honestly tvc should be replaced with another 1/18 line tvc mainly appeals to 40+ gen xer's, when i was a kid i remember all sorts of different star wars lines, from the 2002 saga to the maul packaging
$45 Target exclusive
>>10954424These will go great with the Peli Motto that doesn't exist.
Target exclusive Mandalorian Privateer. This will probably be the same paint deco that will be on the figure packed with the pipelined TVC Imperial Lightcruiser Hallway set.
>>10954429yeah I’m confused why we haven’t gotten her yet, yes she will pegwarm but it’s not like that has stopped them before. In fact they easily could’ve made it a 2 pack of R5 and her and it probably would’ve been more desirable.
>>10954424This'll be a good pickup when it inevitably goes on sale
>>10954424is there any difference between this and the single R5 that’s about to be out? Seems like a pointless re release, I’ll just get this once it goes on sale as other anons have pointed out.
>>10954451The single release doesn't have the rocket boosters. Also the single one is already out and there is no release date mentioned for this set yet.
>>10954430I can't believe I am saying this, but can they stop with the random Mando's at this point? It's just lazy.
>>10954431If they did her right, I think she would be a decent seller compared to say, The Client. Like pack her in with another pit droid, because she has 3 in the show but they only gave two in that pack and load her up with tools and maybe a swappable head that shows her missing tooth. For TVC, a deluxe pack of her with all of the droids would be an instant buy for me to go with the N-1.>>10954537I just want a four pack of the rando mandos from the covert and I'll be good. I'm all for more repaints of them since the base figure is a good toy, but I think they are dipping into them a little too much now and are going to cause stagnation in sales like they did with Boba Fett already. And now I feel like I'm going to have to wait years to finally get a new ESB version in TVC because they had to put out every single version under the sun except the original appearance.
>>10954537I would love non stop random mandos if they were on a better buck, and they weren't fucking blue all the time. And no I don't want the hobo Mandos from the show either, but stuff like the old Entertainment Earth packs.
>>10954736Based. I'm watching the original micro series right now.
>>10953515TVC already died when they started to re-release figures, no even on another style of cardback BUT THE SAME. I have recently bought some black series 6 inch figures and they are pretty good, but i won't collect them like i did with TVC before it got pozzed. Just picking the characters i really like.
>>10953610TVC and even the black series not being available in any stores, but only online, has been the status quo in some European countries for at least a decade. I guess it's time for Americans to know how it feels not getting a discount on highly popular figures or being able to find them for dirt cheap.
>>10954777I don’t actually buy any TVC from retail stores and haven’t for years now, but if a major US retailer with 2000 stores spread across every state stops buying cases of TVC that means TVC budget takes a hit. And that effects the future of the line whether you live in the US or not.
>>10954537I wish they were random. Give me some white, red, orange, some ponchos, capes and cool looking weapons like space shotguns. It seems they are all blue.
>>10954573>>10954729>>10955112I agree. I would be fine with it, if there was some variety in their Mandalorian releases. Two examples I can think of off the top of my head are Gar Saxon (Maul loyalist and Imperial Commando) and Rook Kast.
I want hobolorians
>>10954537They need to stop making them just blue ffs. The culvert had so many color variations. Give me those.
>>10954424R5 gets a lot of releases for a throwaway character. I nabbed the gamestop exclusive back in the before times.
Daddy's home, boys.
>>10956026Thread themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_OiUURbYlQ
Beefy Greefy is $5 on bbts!
The preorders for the Target exclusive Mandalorian Privateer and Peli Motto's droid multipack are up. Both have summer releases.
>>10955965R5-D4 has been a fan favorite droid for a long time. Look at GNK Power Droids. They are a blip on the radar in the series and shows, but people still love them. Myself included. They're my favorite droid line in Star Wars. I still can't believe we haven't gotten one in the Black Series.
>>10956502they could do a 2-pack of the medical and gonk droid for the gaming greats line for battlefront 2
>>10955147I wouldn't mind hobolorians either, except for that middle one.
>>10956026how is he?
>>10956525I think that would be a smart idea. I really wish they'd do Gonky from the Bad Batch and just reuse the mold for a ton of other GNK Power Droids.
A bit new here, I bought a few of these black series on sale/clearance for kit bashing nad what not. I was a bit perplexed at how differently each on is built. Different size balls for the legs to go on, different pegs for the shoulders, like some are arrow shaped some have a ring around them. Just seemed really odd to have all the joints be completely different. Why do they do that. I can understand different sizes for bigger characters, but why connect completely differently?
>>10956680The Star Wars team doesn't like Star Wars and don't talk to each other outside of the streams where they try to convince us they like Star Wars.
>>10956683That makes sense. Why would the toy line be any different than the tv/movie teams.
I have a black series collection but I stopped collecting those, 3.75 all the way idk if I’ll buy those epic hero figures if they’re crappy, I’ll buy the vehicles but that’s it
>>10954420Oh yeah it doesn’t have to be TVC just 3.75 scale I mean those saga legends were just as good as tvc
>>10956680A lot of lines are like that with Hasbro. The Classified Series even does it despite being a line designed around heavy reuse. For example, pretty much every single B.A.T released so far has different sized dumbbell joints for the heads even though they are all the exact same base figure.
>>10956599Overpriced, but good. The tiny holes they went with for the holsters look bad, but aren't a problem when it comes getting them in and out the way I was worried about. I'm had some issues getting the antenna to stay in the helmet and I've read about other people having issues with the helmet being too small for the neck peg, but solid figure other than that.
>>10956819AOTCbros, we eatin good tonight
>>10956819I'm still perplexed why they didn't use the mold with the triangles on the top of the helmet. For some reason it exists as far back as the Death Watch trooper figure as you can see it in the promotion pictures, same with the Airborne trooper, but neither of the actual products have that detail on the final figure. All of the Boba Fetts have it though.
New pictures of Ki-Adi Mundi. Seems like a preorder should be happening soon. It's about fucking time
>>10956884>Loose Ki-Adi: where was I going again?>Boxed Ki-Adi: hey how did you get out there
>>10956819>The tiny holes they went with for the holsters look badthe giant holsters look bad
I'm looking to get some dueling sabers. Where/what brand should I get for the best kinds?
I caved. I haven't bought anything sw in, well, years. Other than this one do you have any recommendations for other essential helmets? We already have Mando and Bo.
>>10956884he has that ''what about the droid attack on the wookies'' face.
>>10956884
>>10957357Waiting for redoes of other jedi masters.
>>10956884Why did he specifically take so damn long? Other pipelines around the same time came out way before he is.
>>10957357>Ask about the droid attack on the Wookies!
>>10957357>>10957523Fucking kek
>>10953506Why is this one always cheapand doesn't sale? Whats wrong with it?
Anyone here knows where I can get a BS ARC Trooper Fives cheap. Its walmart exclusive and there is none and in other sites its $70
>>10957965You're shit out of luck. If you didn't get a chance to order it online and didn't find it in stores you're stuck paying the eBay tax.
>>10957961For some reason old stock of him just keeps popping up. It's very strange. While he isn't a great figure in terms of articulation (since on the old original Clone body), it's still an okay figure. The face is a pretty good photo real too.>>10957965If you can believe it, they randomly started appearing in stores months later after release with the season 2 Bad Batch figure. I got mine online, but I snagged one for my best friend that way. I hate to say it, but this Anon is right. >>10957980 You sadly have to pay the late tax for Fives. There is no way around it.
>>10957488When he was pipelined they mentioned that it would be expected by Spring 2024. They just revealed him really fucking early compared to other figures for whatever reason. Maybe they were just short on things to reveal for Black Series at the time and he was already approved or something?
>>10956837This party's just getting started.>>10956855I don't understand it either and wish they'd put the effort into that over throwing in the flame effect pieces to justify the price.>>10956953That too, it's just bad design choice overall.
>>10956026Is he on a new body? Or is the still the OG Jango body?
>>10956884I like sith mundi on the side of the box
>>10956819>>10958117reminding me I need to get myself a tvc count dooku. sold out everywhere except for gamestop of all places, and there they mislabeled him as black series lol
Star Wars needs to rebrand.
>>10957961Only one of his hands has a trigger finger so his gun looks awkward in his left hand. Also just doesn’t pose all that well, it’s the really old Clone sculpt.
>>10958152This is TVC. Completely new body with barbell hips.
>>10958333And overpriced and not worth it
>>10958334This
>Star Wars team is mad people won't pay full price foe their shit any more>pulls line from retail out of spite
got my payment request for shf qui gon so reviews should start popping up soon
>>10957965There’s actually a magically site that we go to where prices are significantly cheaper than retail but, I’m not telling you about it.
>>10958334Just wait til clearance, the deluxe figures always go on clearance.
>>10958386Hasbro doesn’t pull the line from Target. Once Target buys their cases Hasbro has made its money. It’s Target who’s dropping the line cause they’re tired of buying cases of overpriced figures that they inevitably have to clearance out and lose profit on.
>>10958334What I want to know is at what point does Hasbro just accept that this isn't working? Or are they selling enough of these "deluxe" figures that it actually IS working?
>>10958491Deluxe Boba Fett in TBS hasn’t yet. I doubt Jango would either.
>>10959282> Deluxe Boba Fett in TBS hasn’t yetHe did though, at least the rerelease on the ROTJ anniversary cardback did. I got mine for like half off at my target.
>>10959282The TVC BOBF deluxe Boba got discounted everywhere fairly quickly
>>10959283Must have been a local pricing error like when I got him at Walmart, still neither retail ever officially lowered the price on that figure, which can still be checked ofc. I think I also got him for $16 but that's because the employees stuck him on a TVC peg.
>local Walmart's all restocked but no one is buying >there's even special displays that have sat full with Mando and Vander's I unironically feel like this franchise is dead.
>>10959331It's funny, in my area TVC seems to be fairly healthy with popular characters getting snatched up fast and only your standard pegwarmers like Morgan lingering, but TBS just isn't moving and it's been that way for months. There doesn't seem to be anything anyone really wants.
>>10959331Ironically the people keeping it alive are the older fans who they hate and want to replace. They won't let it go and feel they NEED to consume all the slop even if it's literally shit.
>>10959336I don't know about everyone else but my Black Series collecting has really slowed down. When the line first started I figured I'd just get a handful of cool characters instead of trying to get everyone, so for the first year or so I just had Boba and Maul. Somewhere along the line I just slid down that slope and I ended up getting a shit ton of characters, trying to complete main casts for each movie, trying to make squads of army builders, etc and basically treating it the way I'd treated my 3.75" collection. I've had to break the habit because I'm running out of room and I've started to sell off a ton of them. Now I'm satisfied just having 2-3 standouts and maybe 2 of each of the main army builders (stormtroopers, clone troopers, b1s, etc) rather than trying to build whole squads. I think a lot of people have the same mentality of just grabbing a few characters and not really bothering with getting an extensive collection, and by now I think Hasbro's covered the heaviest hitters and a lot of collectors aren't as interested in the more niche characters. They got their Bespin Lukes, their Jango Fetts, etc and they're not really interested in getting a bunch of cantina aliens. The line's been heading in that "we're going to make everyone we can" direction that 3.75 specializes in (historically anyway) and I don't think that many people are really on board with that.
>>10959282Deluxe TVC figures always clearance though. I can’t speak to Black Series. Literally every boxed deluxe TVC figure has eventually gone down to like $11 dollars.
>>10959460Black Series is being clearanced off at Walmart now. Krapsanta is $13
>>10959460The E-Web stormtrooper never went that low, did it? I don't think I saw the deluxe incinerator trooper that low either but admittedly I didn't pay as much attention to that one.
>>10959620Yes, it was being sent to Ross this last Christmas. I got mine there.
>>10959620>>10959655Yeah I think all of the Wal-Mart ones ended up at Ross and Michaels eventually.
>>10959336Andor shit is still pegwarming here. It's funny that they made so many figures for the show since the people raving about how good it is are the same people that think Star Wars is for babies and would never be caught dead buying toys.
>>10959744I buy Micro Galaxy Squadron + TBS and Andor is still the only good thing Disney ever did with Star Wars.
>>10959744I think Andor is great, but it doesn't lend especially well to toys. I can understand making Cassian himself, but beyond that it seemed pointless for both lines.
>>10959790>aldhani trooper (generic, not cassian)>aldhani trooper squad leader>aldhani field officer>ferrix trooper>ferrix field officer>labor prison officer/guard>luthen>dedra>partagaz>fucking yularenThe series was plenty toyetic, they just didn't bother, all but a couple of these weren't done in 6" and none of them were done in 3.75" even though by nature of being largely armybuilders they'd sell more copies in 3.75". I would personally buy even more than those listed, e.g. Kino, but I could see how he might theoretically be a tough action figure to sell to the masses when without any context he's just "normal guy in a weird jumpsuit", and a similar issue applies to most of the other normal civilian characters.
>>10960456Is he going to be a bitch to order? I know some Figuarts sell out fast.
Hot Toys doing the lord's work by ignoring the Sequel Disney shit.
>>10960603
>>10956986Vader.
I bought a little ladder for my x-wing off etsy. Any other recommendations for stuff like that? Would love to set up a hangar diorama on a shelf or something rather than just have ships sitting there
Another day, another Mandalorian. It's one of the cooler looking ones at least.
And this.
>>10960960I'm glad he got a soft goods cape.>>10960962The face looks better on this one than the first Cal. Mainly because the beard is printed a little better. I was hoping we'd get a different hairstyle just for the fun of it along with a new lightsaber hilt and blade color but at least BD got a different paintjob.
>>10960964They also finally gave Cal his scars.
>>10960967Pic didn't upload for some reason.
>>10960962Oh boy, more trash!
>>10960962bizarre choice but i'm not complaining, jfo/ js the only part of nuwars that i don't actively dislikemissed opportunity to give him a different blade colour though, especially when they gave the hult that metallic look
>>10961011I don't mind the choice but I think they should have thrown in a headswap of Commander Denvik as a bonus accessory so we could have a other officer to use.
>Star Wars continues to disappoint
>>10960604This is a real bucket list item for me. Been craving KOTOR content from Sideshow for 20 years. Looks amazing, they nailed it.
>>10960960>>10960962I like both of these, but I also feel like they’ll both go on discount.
>>10960602He's fan favorite so probably
Mafex 4-LOM
>>10961347Well shit, I remember seeing the prototypes but never thought it’d see the light of day. Looks pretty good, any more pics? Maybe one of everything included? Hopefully this means more of the bounty hunters on the way, I would definitely expect an IG-88 since they’ve already done IG-11 and it’d be mostly reuse.
>>10961355Goes up tomorrow, looks like this is literally all it has?
>>10961361Hmm I mean honestly I don’t really know what else they could have included but it’s still a little disappointing. Maybe they should have included an add on for Boba Fett or base that simulated the Executor bridge.
>>10961347>>10961361Interdasting. I dunno if it's worth paying the import price on though. I feel like the BS is good enough. Now IG-88 I would pay that price because Hasbro's version is awful.
Target is not dropping TVC after all and has created a new DPCI for it in their system
>>10961462>I CAN'T BELIEVE TVC IS DEAD
>>10961462I will never accept nuTVC
>>10961462So basically the same thing Marvel Legends did a while back like that one anon said
>>10960603>>10960604I got the email about these and had to fucking preorder them. Won't be out till around this time next year at the earliest but I'll be damned if I miss out on this shit. I've ignored years of sequel/Disney slop for them to FINALLY fucking make some good EU stuff. Fucking finally. Took them long enough. Never thought they actually would but they look great.
>>10960962>doesn't come with the black hatFuck, I really desperately wish someone would figure out how to recast that accessory and/or find a huge pile of them outside a chinese factory or whatever
>>10961347Damn, a 1/12 star wars I actually want. Fucking kill me.
>>10961371A drop in price would have been appropriate. No way I'm paying 100 for him.
Daily deal of the day. Could anyone post a picture that owns this next to a black series figure? Curious if I could fudge it into the display.
>>10961790A 6" figure is going to stand about a head taller than the highest part of that playsetIt just isn't what you wantTo compare, the smaller Sabertooth here is 1:18 and the others are 1:12 and 1/10.
>>10961811Yeah I figured it’d be too small, oh well. It’s a shame we don’t really get any playsets/dioramas for black series.
>>10961813Fwiw, apparently the interior of your microwave is a decent place to get shots that look like Tantive IV or Kamino if you really just want one shot or two. Idk, just a thought. I'm sure you probably already make your own out of cardboard if you were looking to upgrade to a real one.
>isb cal limited to 6 on amazon>and 5 on pulseYeah because this is definitely an item at risk of scalpers, right? Let me make the terrible mistake of armybuilding these in peace
>>10961813HAHAHHAHAHAHA That’s what you get for collecting black series. We’ve tried telling you time and time again it’s the inferior scale that never gets vehicles and playsets and you never listen. You deserve this.
>>10961917BBTS let’s you order both up to 24
>>10961935Relax anon, attacking someone for collecting the same series in a different scale is kinda cringe, you don't need to go there. I wouldn't say that TVC fags deserve having their figures pulled from retailers just because no one is buying them.
>>10961942Except TVC figures ARE selling. It’s the black series figures that clog up the shelves and end up getting shipped to Ollie’s and Ross in droves. TVC at least sells, I rarely see them at those discount stores.
>>10961790I don't think it would work very well, but here you go. Hallway is pretty bare bones as a playset, but I like it and I'm looking forward to filling it with the upcoming ANH figures.Lots of good deals on BBTS today. Half tempted to pick up the Revan saber for a display with the hot toys figure, but I know I don't have the money or space for either.
>>10961951I mean I don't really care that much, I just heard that story about TVC being pulled from target or whatever it was. And honestly, it's just hasbro star wars stuff in general that hits clearance like mad. I see both TVC and TBS on clearance all the time. I don't think either of our lines are doing all that well rn lol
>>10961976Hasbro should just sell everything on Pulse, they’re overproducing everything to have it in stores and it just gets clearanced out anyways. Eventually stores are gonna stop buying it. Probably why hasbro wants out of the Disney license already.
If I was in charge of the archive collection I would just look up the most expensive figures being resold on ebay/mercari etc. and rerelease those going down the list.
>>10962023shh you're making too much sense
>>10962023That'd require the Star Wars team to ~care~
>>10962023Dengar was one of those figures and he still pegwarmed.
>>10961917It might be because the production runs are a lot lower for TVC now than they have been before.
>>10961951I’m a TVC guy and I think there’s less TVC presence at stores cause they order less unfortunately. You look at the Amazon numbers and TBS is kind of kicking our asses there. I think it’s cause TBS has crossover appeal to casual collectors where pretty much everybody involved in TVC is a hardcore collector. Not many dabble in TVC the way they dabble in Black Series. For me, TVC makes sense cause I’ve collected 3.75” Star Wars my whole life, why start over in a new scale? But for somebody just getting into it, TBS probably makes more sense since they get newer characters quicker and fit in with all their other 1/12 scale shit.
>>10962023I think you’d also have to take in consideration how frequently they’re selling. I sold a loose Commander Wolffe for $75 and Hasbro were selling new ones for $15 last week. Some niche characters like that demand high prices and then they get reprinted and it turns out they just barely missed the amount of demand the first time and around and what once was a rare figure gets clearanced out in droves.
>>109623093.75" stuff in general kind of disappeared. Bandai's Shodo lines are pretty prominent, but while they appeal to collectors they're candy toys.I miss the days of G.I. Joe, Marvel Universe, and Star Wars. I prefer smaller figures.
>>10962345I just miss when there was a wider variety of scales. I felt like it just gave toy aisles more character. A shelf full of different characters from different IP with different scales and design philosophy is more appealing to me visually than a bunch of characters that are all the same scale and done on the same style. In my head, Star Wars and Joes will always be 3.75”, Star Trek and TMNT will always be 5”, and superheroes are 6”. It just seems to make the most sense for what they are.
>>10962309>I think it’s cause TBS has crossover appeal to casual collectors where pretty much everybody involved in TVC is a hardcore collector.I think you nailed the reality of the situation. I am a long time Star Wars and as a kid, I collected POTF2 and a few of the other later lines, but I never went all in for unknown reasons. Once I really started getting back into Star Wars (after Rogue One), I decided to buy into the Black Series. I have over 155 6 inch Star Wars figures on (Black Series, SHF, MAFEX, Bandai model kits and a few other lines). 6 inch just feels right for me, even if I know I'll never get the world building of TVC. I have bought like 10 or so TVC figures over the years, but I'd never go all in like the Black Series.
TVC Huyang is a nice figure but I can't help but be annoyed that his wrists aren't hinged and that the arms on the backpack aren't articulated when they absolutely should be at the elbows at least. Not to mention they give you the single training lightsaber hilt with no blade but also it can't even be held in the backpack arms since the hands aren't sculpted for it. Just some weird choices all around.
>>10963508
>>10963510
how well does it roll
>>10963527Let me make a webm
Chromemannder Chromedy
how many years has the current astro droid been in use? it's terrible pretty brutal when the best mold had been done in 2004/2005 with the rots line
>>10963709Uhhh, you know they just came out with a new one right?
>>10963508>>10963510Man I know we were never gonna get the shield, but is it too much to ask for a couple blast effects? Looks good though, I imagine the price will drop by the summer so I may pick one up then
What’s the best obi wan to buy? Do I have to shell out the big bucks for the San Diego comic con version or is there a decent normal version that isn’t in that weird Kenner orange robe? OT, ofc.
I'm nearly done with my OT collection, just need a couple more important characters and it's done. Excited to finish my star wars collection with the prequel films next, really hope they deliver on this prequel celebration and so far I'm pretty happy with what we've got/what's been announced.
>>10963975No sequel figs?
>>10963985Thank God
>>10963985No, I'm only really intersted in OT and PT. I would probably collect some of the gaming stuff too, but then I think my collection would get bigger than I know what to do with.
I was going to settle and buy the old, half crummy 3.75 inch figure. Not now. Sweet fuck, it's beautiful.
>>10964143Do you have a pretty big display space? I'm not saying that it's not worth the money, because it totally could be if you like that character. But 1/6 is so big that I reserve the figures I buy in that scale to be heavy-hitters, no characters that only appear briefly or in DLC's in this case. Still, if he's your favorite, he looks really great.
>>10964008>but then I think my collection would get bigger than I know what to do with.It's a slippery slope anon, trust me.
>>10964163>trust meI do, which is why I'm trying to avoid falling down the rabbit-hole. There's plenty of other TBS figures that I would like, but I limit myself to only OT and PT to keep the collection in check. I even made a checklist of all the characters I would want and don't buy any figures other than those to keep myself in line. I admit, it's hard, though. How do you pick what to buy, out of curiosity?
Holy fuck how many Fives they did like 5000 only wtf this is nowhere to be found.
>>10964177At this point I just buy whatever I like. I currently have over 155 6 inch figures from multiple lines. I started with only OT and a few Rogue One troopers when I first got into the line. When Mando came out, I bought a few figures since I loved the show. I really liked the Clone Wars, so I snagged a few clones. Of course, I had to buy a few PT Jedi to go with them, (after saying I wouldn't) right? After that, I just gave up and bought whatever I loved from my childhood.
>>10963936I think the only 6” options are the Black Series one or the Figuarts one. They produced a ton of Black Series one, I can’t imagine it’s too expensive. It was before they started doing faceprinting, but the likeness is still really good for an old Black Series figure.
>>10964369Because Hasbro's Star Wars team can't do anything right
>>10964434Well hey if you have the room for them, a large collection like that can be an extremely nice display that you really enjoy. I just personally don't have the space, which I'm greatful for. If I had more room to display, I'd probably buy more. Let's see the collection btw, I bet it looks pretty cool with that many figures.
>>10964143Enjoy having the pleather peel apart after 6 months
>>10964913Most of my HT make it to around year 5 before they start flaking, but yeah, it's still a problem they've never fixed. I've always heard that sideshow was a bit better, but every company that does pleather seems to use the lowest quality shit, even HT.
>>10953506>25$ for a fucking jango fett and my buck broken bitch ass still bought itWhy the fuck are 3.75 figures so expensive now tho? 25$ 15 years ago could get you a battle pack with five figures but now its 17$ per a normal figure and 25$ for a """deluxe""" which is really just a highly desirable character that they know they can highway rob people for and include just a couple of minuscule accessories with to try and justify its almost ten dollars difference in price point from a normal figure
>>10965085You're gonna lose your shit if you start comparing the price of food and gas to 15 years ago, too.
>>10965085A combination of things - Disney's insane licensing fee for Star Wars, Hasbro's Dickhead CEO wanting to increase profits by 50% which meant raising prices across the board (and they are still losing revenue on partner branded toys despite this according to their recent quarterly report. They've lost a total of $100 million in revenue in the last two years between Marvel and Star Wars), increased prices in labor and global shipping, and the cherry on top that is Biden's rapid inflation. Now why does this mean Jango has to be a deluxe figure? I really don't know. Maybe that particular sliver paint they used on him is super expensive but I don't know why they would even bother with it knowing that people are so turned off by the price point of deluxe figures that aren't actually deluxe. Especially when Din Djarin can be thrown into the mainline for a regular price and he uses the same shit.
>>10965165I miss $0.99 double cheeseburgers...My favorite place was a small burger chain that offered a cheeseburger, those oval shaped dinner plates filled with fries, and a soda for $3.99. nowadays such a combo goes for like $12.99 (right now farmer boys has a special running for a cheeseburger combo at $6.99, which is really good).
>>10965337>Maybe that particular sliver paint they used on him is super expensiveThat's a super7 kind of bullshittery
>>10962309The only appeal of smaller scale for me was the ship and playset variety. The prices are just too much now. Outside of a few characters like Vader and Palpatine I can't justify paying that much when I can just get a larger figure for a little more. I also just like the larger scale. I'm still holding out hope we'll get a BS X-Wing in three years for the 50th anniversary of A New Hope. Pic unrelated.
>>10965085Its started happening after the pandemic. We slowly had price creep and now it's jumped up 25 - 32 for black series, and the price you said for TVC. It's crazy. I wouldn't care if that money was going to make better figures, but time and time again we see Hasbro cheap out. The wild thing is, the Black Series has never been better, but then Hasbro is literally not painting figures that aren't "deluxe". It's wild. Like this guy said, >>10965337 I blame greed. The funny thing is, Hasbro over played their hand and it's biting them in the ass.
>>10965337>Disney's insane licensing fee for Star Wars, Its funny because they upped the charge for the license fee for star wars after they bought it but the rat has devalued the brand so much that its license fee isnt even worth what it was during lucas era now let alone the price shitsney has on it>Hasbro's Dickhead CEO wanting to increase profits by 50% which meant raising prices across the board (and they are still losing revenue on partner branded toys despite this according to their recent quarterly report. They've lost a total of $100 million in revenue in the last two years between Marvel and Star WarsLmfao get rekt hasbro, thats what they deserve for all these price hikes>>10965365I hate the larger scale desu. I like my figures being around 4 or 5 inches i think 6 and 7 inches is too much for most figures i get. I know im in the minority here and most toyfags like 6 inch better but i still feel bitter over the fact that 3.75 lost the scales war so to speak
>>10965348yeah I just stopped eating fast food a couple of years ago during the pandemic when I went to taco bell and had to pay like $15 for what cost like $5 a few years before. It's probably good for me, but I really only did it because of the price. Americans don't care that we're poisoning, we only care about the price of the poison.
>>10965399>i still feel bitter over the fact that 3.75 lost the scales war so to speakI am too but at least TVC figures themselves are really, really good now and in some ways much better than their Black Series counterparts such as Pre Vizsla. What bugs me more is that TVC collectors have funded 3/3 HasLabs now and it still doesn't feel like Hasbro wants to support the scale as much as Black Series, when we've proven that we're ready to throw down the money when it counts. They really need to just give both lines equal budgets and they'd see sales skyrocket for TVC if they start knocking out new sculpts for the mains in all the films, missing 96'ers, and making a lot of background characters that are expensive on the secondary market or are needing updates like Momaw Nadon. And now we're on the cusp of another project launching and if it is a Cantina like what's been rumored, they REALLY need to increase their figure support for it if they want people to pony up for another HasLab 8 months after funding the previous one that still hasn't even shipped yet.
>>10965416Actually, it looks like TVC shifter over to 4", as only short characters like Luke is literally 3.75", whereas storm troopers, din djarin, boba Fett, are 4" tall. Looks like all of the recent versions are 4" (my Luke isn't that new, so idk if the latest version is still 3.75" or what). Vader and revan are slightly taller.
>>10965514they're still too undersized to be 4"I think they just stopped giving a shit and just made everything literally 3.75, since the stormclonetroopers all have removable helmets and it's the only thing making them look taller. Without helmets, they'd probably still be 3.75, same as the other figures... which i can't really state with certainty, because i haven't bought a non-helmeted non-alien figure in like a decade.
>>10965725Me: newer figures are 4"You: compares an old figureWhy do I always get the retards?
Anybody else here order the Figuarts Jar Jar? I very rarely get import figures cause I don’t collect 1/12 for the most part, but I’m willing to spend the big bucks on Jar Jar.
>>10965904I thought about it, the extra faces on the SHF are definitely tempting since TBS version is so serious looking. However, TBS version is really damn good and can be had for peanuts, so I don't think I'll be replacing mine with the SHF this time like I have with some of the A New Hope figures.
>>10964369i stole mine so i got mine for free
>>10965908Yeah I’ve had my Black Series Jar Jar since it came out. One of the only two Black Series I own along with the Gamorrean Guard. Very fun figure to pose, and have enjoyed it for the past 4 years or so I’ve had it but that stoic face really does bring it down a bit for me. I think if I collected more 1/12th scale stuff I’d be more hesistant but since it’s a once in a blue moon thing, I’m willing to ball out for the characters I really like.
>>10965904Where'd you order from?
>>10965923Hobby Genki
>>10965416I agree i just wished they did more niche characters still. If they do make the cantina the next haslab im probably gonna cave and buy it
Looks like we might be getting Dark Empire Luke as part of this dark side hot toys collection.
>>10965904As funny as it is that we're getting him at all, the reality is he'll probably shelfwarm and go for half off soon after release.
>>10964143I never drop the money for Hot Toys, but lordy did I pick up that Revan as soon as I saw it live. Starkiller looks SO good too though, I don't know how I'm going to be able to resist.
>>10966356Dude, I want a clone Emperor from Hot Toys. Fuck Disney for everything, glad the companies are fighting back.
What are your answers /swg/?
>>10967504QualityAccuracyCharacter depthWorld buildingNostalgia
>>10967504I can kinda get world building in a literal sense you get more side characters to build out your world or collection but what do they mean character depth?
>>10965808>6'5" Christopher Lee barely going over the 4" mark>helmeted stormtrooper barely hitting 4"You're only proving my point that it's not 1:18.Right side is basically 3.75" and left side is inconsistent as fuck. Hasbro stopped giving a shit.
>>10967539World building is more in reference to the stuff like playsets and vehicles
>>10967552>4/5 figures clear the 4" line>Doesn't count because "helmets"why do I always get the retards??
>>10967504Gotta be worldbuilding for me. Playsets and vehicles are what got me into this line.
>>10967602>doesn't understand scale or star wars >calling anyone else a retardwhy even talk after proving me right?>ib4 you're were taking 4" literally, despite none of the lines ever actually literally being 3.75" or 4"Stop trying to save face on an anonymous message board, faggot.
>>10967620>>ib4 you're were taking 4" literally>Actually, it looks like TVC shifter over to 4", as only short characters like Luke is literally 3.75"Seems like he was.
>>10967642>literally 4">luke is 3.75" = 1:18>dooku is 4.021" = 3.75" scale.... ... I'll just point out that there are lines that are literally just 3.75, where every figure is 3.75", barring the few exceptions. Same with 4", 5", 6", 3", etc etc etc. This is what /toy/ usually refers to as "literally x""Sometimes a line became exactly X" inadvertently, because they were lazyshit assholes.
>>10967642No, that quote won't count because the retard is talking about 5th dimensional alliteration, therefore "helmets". Thank YOU for being reasonable.>>10967620>>10967666>Posts pics unrelated to what I said>Argues no true scottsman >Not a single ruler in any of those pics, eitherWhy do I always get the retards?
>>10967677because every one sounds retarded when you can't understand things like "scale", "math," "real life people have actual heights", and "size differences" It's like when i look at your posts and you somehow think proving me right makes me retarded. WUT? I just can not understand.
>>10967504Quality very slightly above accuracy, then character depth very slightly above worldbuilding, then nostalgia last because I'm not really sure what that means in this context, other than the packaging maybe, which I personally do not care about at all even though I obviously recognize that a large % of the consumerbase is only here because of it. I'd rather have a very slightly less accurate figure if it enables better quality (e.g. putting the cut in the imperial officer skirt so the hips can actually move) and I'd very very slightly rather have a wider variety of figures than more things to put them on/in, but honestly all 4 of those things are not very far from each other in terms of importance, they're all big reasons why I enjoy the line, and worldbuilding at 4th, while technically true, hugely undersells how much I value/appreciate the scale being able to have vehicles and setpieces.
>>10967504It’s tough to answer cause the terms are a bit vague. Like is quality synonymous with articulation? Cause if reducing articulation on certain characters allowed us to get them made, I’d be cool with that. If it’s not an action-oriented character, why not cut down on some POA and make it cheaper to produce? If you’re a character with a big plastic skirt piece, maybe swivel hips will do just fine instead of barbell hips. If they ever make a Frog Lady figure I don’t think it’d need to be as posable as the new Clone Body or something. But if quality is paint apps, then like no, that’s pretty important, it needs to look presentable.
>>10967680>because every one sounds retarded when you can't understand things like "scale", "math," "real life people have actual heights", and "size differences">helmeted stormtrooper barely hitting 4"Tell me more of these helmets that add 0.25" height at "3.75inch scale", which translates to about 5" at 1:1 scale.Tell me more how 4/5 figures LITERALLY clearing 4" somehow does NOT make them 4" figures now.>ib4 you're were taking 4" literally, despite none of the lines ever actually literally being 3.75" or 4">Stop trying to save face on an anonymous message board, faggot.Stop trying to save face, indeed, retard.
>>10967677You're arguing with subjectanon. What do you expect?
>>10965909Nice where from?
Anyone got an opinion to share on the mafex boba fett (empire strikes back)?Personally the best looking for me but i heard that the antenna can get loose fast.
>>10967874It’s a good figure, never heard of the antenna issue before, but checking mine it is a little loose but it stays in the upright position which is where I want it and would probably never move it down. He does scale slightly bigger than black series but not too bad. He looks great.
This retard was arguing about 3.75" scale in the 1:18 JoyToy thread too just filter him at this point
>>10967756>Like is quality synonymous with articulation?On Facebook he clarified that quality is about the actual plastic of the figure and joints and presentation/material of the packaging, Basically if it feels like a good, solid toy when you open it as well as being attractive on card if you're that kind of collector.Accuracy is more about the details being right and specifically paint applications. Such as, is it important to you that Sabine has all of her armor painted correctly if it locks her into a Deluxe pack every time or would you take simplified deco (such as the Epic Heroes figure) to put her on a standard card?
>>10967874It's easily the best looking 6" ESB figure. The rangefinder on mine is a little loose but it still stands up right unless I fiddle with it. Just be careful with it if you get one. I had mine displayed and then my toddler slammed the door to my office which made him take a little tumble and the rocket on his jetpack snapped off since it's just hard plastic with no flexibility.
>>10967874>>10967881He's easily the best option, but I hate the proportions and size. I kinda hope Hasbro takes another crack at him and doesn't fuck everything up like they did with the RotJ one
>>10967504>1. World BuildingThe entire point of this scale, to me, is that it allows for playsets and vehicles to be a reasonable size.>2. Character DepthI consider this to be a part of worldbuilding. A wide variety of characters to fill out the playsets and vehicles is a necessity.>3. AccuracyThe figures should look like they do in the films, and since others are saying that quality refers to articulation and packaging, I think that honestly a lot of figures in the line are over-articulated. There is no reason why an imperial officer or some background character like fucking Yakface needs the same level of articulation as a jedi.>4. QualityArticulation is important for some characters, but less important for others. They should focus on saving money where they can by using cheaper articulation on figures that you aren't expected to pose dramatically, so that those figures can have better/more paint and more accessories or soft goods. Quality of packaging doesn't matter at all to me.>5. NostalgiaNot even something that I think about. I wasn't alive for the Kenner days so I couldn't care less. I buy the figures for the figures themselves. The cardback packaging is neat I guess, but I would rather the line adopt a more simple packaging style and only use the bubble cards for special releases.
>>10967914Oh well in that case quality and accuracy are the most important by far. Maybe I’m just a child of the 90s, but even though I am beyond gentle with my figures, I like the knowledge that they’re durable and can take a beating. I started collecting 90s Star Trek figures this year and they just feel so much nicer than Modern figures even if they’re a bit limited in posing and maybe not as realistically sculpted.
>>10967778I was thinking as much. Schizo dismisses literal reality with their stupid ass delusions.
>>10967062>Fuck Disney for everything, glad the companies are fighting back.You realize they need Disney's approval to do this right?
>>10967874I love my MAFEX Boba Fett. I was lucky enough to buy him 7 years ago, when prices of imports were much lower. I personally think he is the best 1/12th OT Boba Fett.
>>>10967774 NO UHoly fuck, you're a retard who can't understand grade school concepts and is trying to save face on an anonymous message board.When someone on "toy" talks about toys being X", they're referring to a scale. That means when people were talking about these figures being 3.75", they're referring to the scale being slightly below 1:18, which is also referred to as 4", since the bulk of 1:18 figures are represented by 6' (4" in 1:18) manly men that aren't manlets.So here you are, butting in, showing off toys that are supposed to be in scale, not understanding what's going on when posting pictures of toys standing below and above 4". You don't understand what's going on and what other people are thinking about your photos, because you've been inhaling way too many paint fumes and/or were born retarded thanks to your gutter oil diet, chainsmoking, alcoholic mother living in a shit country with terrible air quality.You simply can't understand that scale exists and how everyone of those figures aren't in 1:18 and might not be in 3.75" scale either, as every single photo in this thread has proven. It''s biologically impossible for you to understand that nor what everyone else was talking about.
Mental illness, everyone.
>>10967983You realize Disney doesn't pay attention to when they're getting the finger, right?
>>10968671Okay but this is still being done with their approval. It's not the rebellious act you think it is.
>>10967983>>10968717It's become pretty common for people who don't know how this works to suddenly discover this shit, like they see Heir to the Empire in a bookstore and go WHOA THE PUBLISHERS ARE GIVING DISNEY THE FINGER without realizing Disney not only approved this but has been doing this for years.Also all the people who think Thrawn or another EU character appearing is some act of desperation when Disney literally announced a decade ago they were going to mine stuff from the EU for the new canon. It's lazy for sure but this isn't some unexpected change.
>>10968722funny that you mention thrawn because ever since he got brought into nucanon people have been sure that it meant disney was cracking and the nucanon would be wiped away and the eu brought back and that was 8 years ago
Are the SHF TPM Qui gon, Obi Wan, and Maul still available to preorder anywhere? Or will they come into stock at places once it comes out?
>>10968754They've all been released.
>>10968728>Kathleen Kennedy is leaving Lucasfilm in 2 weeks!
>>10968762Shit so are they out of stock everywhere then?
>>10968766I mean I see Obi Wan on Amazon for $88 but yeah they're long since out of stock. Gotta pay the late tax for them now, I'm afraid.
>>10968763After the fifth time this has happened you'd think they would learn but it's always "it's for real this time you're retarded if you don't think it's happening!"
why does hasbro discriminate against r3's and (cone) r4'sthose are the most aesthetic astromechs
>>10968763Wish she would, Star Wars keeps getting worse and worse.
Target is having 20% off Star Wars stuff right now and it applies to preorders. So the R5 and Pit Droid set comes down to $35 with it and qualifies for free shipping.
>>10969308I can't order anything from Target because they blocked my name, address, and IP from purchasing anything from them after I tried to buy two of their TVC exclusives online a few years ago. Any time that I place an order on their website it gets automatically cancelled a few seconds later, and none of the support pajeets can explain why it happens. I have tried changing my IP and even ordering under different names and to different addresses or using different cards, but it always happens.
>>10969311your fault for trying to buy two TVC exclusives honestly
Why no Taron Malicos figures? It's a simple design, they can probably reuse some Darth Maul.

>>10969492>they can probably reuse some Darth MaulSkin him and use it to make that guy's clothes?
>>10969492I really don't know why. Darth Maul's torso and arms with ROTS Anakin's legs would get them 90% there. All they'd need is a head, lightsabers, and a couple of overlays. I wish they would have done that instead of wasting money on the Inquisitor Cal.
>>10969492>>10969649The Maul body wouldn’t really work, too ripped.
>>10969521Your mom is a pegwarmer.
>>10968844We are getting one soon enough. I love the little guys.
Found a Glavis Ringworld Mando at target tonight and it was on the 20% off deal. Feels good.
>>10969908Great find! I meant to post on the thread about this. Target has 20% off basically all Star Wars stuff for the week of May the 4th. I picked up myself a Black Series Pyke for 20% off.
>>10969908That's a really good deal, I think that figure is already selling for a decent markup but I doubt it will last forever since Hasbro seems hellbent on releasing as many Mandos as they possibly can. Still, Glavis Mando is the best and one of the best figures on my Black Series shelf. I think only ROTJ Boba Fett and ESB Darth Vader are as good, at least in terms of figures that I own.
>>10969649>>10969569>>10969667Picrel was made by some guy using the Sith Apprentice Darth Maul, head and lightsabers are 3D printed.
>>10970215>ugly ass single bend>no bonus over 90what's the point?
>>10970224I agree it's not the best, even with that giant cut for the articulation. Some black series got really good articulation on those single elbows, ESB Vader is one of them, goes way past 90.
>>10970236why does Vader have trigger fingers?
>>10970241I get that this is bait but for anyone curious, trigger hands have the bottom three fingers connected, while Vader's force choke hand has his middle finger curl inwars with his index finger, which isn't how you hold a gun.
>>10970242Is that what that is? I wasn't trolling, I seriously have never understood what they were trying to do there.
>>10970249Lmao yeah it's obviously supposed to be his "force choke" hand. Pretty funny that you never made that connection, but I guess generic toy logic might have dulled your observation?
I hate that stupid Force choke hand. even a fist would be better.
>>10970241It serves a few purposes, it's his force choke hand but it's also close enough so he can also hold his lightsaber. Another option is to put his hands over his belt. Perfect world we would get another set of hands with fists, but it's fine by me.
>>10970241I want to be kind like the others, but this is very apparent if you own the figure or have watched the OT. The ANH version has it as well and that's how I pose him.
It looks like they are going to announce all of those Black Series re releases in a few days. Season 7 Clone Wars Ahoska just went up and then down on EE for pre order along with Rebels Hera and Sabine.
>>10970772I'm glad I'll be able to get this Ahsoka. I searched for weeks trying to come across her at Walmart but I never could grab her.
HasLab reveal is getting delayed until a later date.
>>10970933>"fresh reveals" for tbs>"some updates" for tvccancellation confirmed, doomerbros?
>>10959331I almost picked up the pike but then I figured a few months from now he'll either be on clearance or Amazon discount.
>>10959477Funny enough the entire recent Ashoka/Rebels case was just marked down for $15 each but our pegs of Lando lives on
>>10970958Right, what the fuck does that mean? It better be something good like they're going to double the output of new figures per year.
This has to be a joke
>>10971146What's the issue? It's not a normal release.
>>10971146which part?
>>10971161>>10971166I mean looking at hobby genki I can get it shipped for around $100 total, why are they charging an extra $50?
>>10971146If you're in the US or Japan, use P-Bandai. Anywhere else in the world, use an import site. Not that complicated.
>>10971173Because they have to pay more than Hobby Genki to get it too.
>>10970933>>10970985I wonder what scared them so bad about it that they needed to push it back? Maybe they were worried people wouldn't fund it since The Ghost hasn't even shipped yet
>>10971238Nah, that hasn't stopped them before. Probably Disney throwing a shit fit over something and they have to scramble to tweak this or that.
>>10971249I'll bet you anything it's a full Sarlacc pit diorama and someone include a Slave Leia and Kennedy threw a fit and probably fired half the team
>>10971283That's a nice theory but the real reason is that it's a full-on pod-racing diorama to celebrate TPM and they're worried that including the planned Watto will be considered politcally insensitive right now so they're waiting until things cool down in the middle east.
>>10971318watto you mean by th-ohoooooh
>>10971318>>10971336
>>10971283Lego’s about to put out a UCS Barge with a Slave Leia, Slave Leia was in the Lego video game last year, Hasbro put her as an option for a Black Series fan poll a few years ago, they used Slave Leia in the Galaxy of Adventures animated shorts, they never cut the Slave Leia scenes from Disney Plus. I think the Slave Leia ban isn’t a thing anymore. I think they just want it branded as “Huttslayer” Leia now for female empowerment or some shit.
