They should've made a new ANH Han before Leia. There is still not a Han figure with pinless knees and butterfly joints and other recent articulation updates.

This is probably more a case of Hasbro cheaping out and just using white plastic for as much of the figure as possible.

I think the biggest sin Disney commits when it comes to these things is the hair, everyone has modern haircuts. Really everyone in prequel era stuff should have 50s/60s style haircuts, everyone in OT era should have 70s/80s style haircuts and build sci-fi hair and make-up off that.

They aren't bad figures or designs. I like the practicality of Sol's armor and the more vibrant colors. They're all distinct without being too out of place. But it's a matter of priority. As a primarily OT-purist I'd rather throw that money at another stormtrooper or rescuing a pegwarming Lando or something.

That looks way better. Really Hasbro does themselves a huge disservice by leaving things like boots unpainted. Yes they are green in the show but that huge sea of color is broken up by the straps and a good coating of weathering so it's much more muted and fits with the rest of his color scheme.

Obviously I don't expect my taste to be universal or whatever, especially when the source material for some of these is bad (although I'd strongly argue that cool trooper designs are still cool even if their source material isn't) but I really don't expect the more 'sensible' options like a new Sandtrooper and Snowtrooper to advance very far past named characters either, assuming they make it in at all, based on how these things have gone before.
>>
>>11163937
A lot of those seem sensible to me. So much so that I'm surprised I haven't seen a few of them brought up. Having three Purge Trooper variants maybe not so much, but I can understand wanting more. The Mudtrooper is a fairly popular design.
>although I'd strongly argue that cool trooper designs are still cool even if their source material isn't
Par for the course with Star Wars. I tend to prioritize stuff from the material I like, but not as a rule. I love Andor but it's mostly standard and drab in terms of character designs/costuming. Luthen is a great character but I don't know that I care to have a Luthen figure.

How much are you guys buying into the rumor that Hasbro is looking to renegotiate their deal with Disney and drop the Star Wars license due to the current state of the brand and its poor sales versus what they're having to pay LFL in royalties?

Would you like to see someone else take over the brand or would you give up on it completely?

Personally I would be sad. I think the figures for TVC are fantastic with all the upgrades in sculpting, engineering, and photoreal from the last few years and there are many characters who still need to be made or updated to thrse current standards. I'm not sure I would trust another domestic company to really do figures of the same quality. Mattel's humans for the Hammond Collection all look like shit. Smaller companies like Boss Fight would have to charge twice as much as Hasbro currently does and they would probably never do any background characters. Same goes for imports as well. I would maybe want to see Hiya take a shot after seeing their latest Star Trek and G.I. Joe figures but I'm not sure how deep in the roster they could get compared to Hasbro.
>>
>>11165621
It's wishful thinking. If it did happen and the licensed is either dropped or expires, whatever company comes next is going to have the exact same problems so it's a lateral move.
>>
>>11165621
I would take it with a grain of salt adn not believe anything until april of next year when the latest announcements are released
maybe they will just want to stick with actual shit that sells instead of eternal shelfwarmers
>>
>>11165621
>G.I. Joe figures
Are these good? They're such a hassle to get ahold of. I wanted the Snake Eyes but never got it.
>>
>>11165624
Pretty much. It's all stemming from Lucasfilm leadership. That's the real thing that needs to change and then they probably go silent for a few years while working on stuff to fix the damage

>>11165628
To be clear I don't really buy into it much, it's just interesting discussion. At the most I assume they would keep the license up to 2027 to capitalize off the 50th anniversary of the original film but getting Farmboy Luke two years before that does have me a little surprised and curious what they're going to do at that point.

>>11165636
I have Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow so far with a few of the Vipers pre-ordered. I like them. Great detail on them and they pose well. They definitely feel more fragile than Hasbro's stuff though but I basically treat them like I do with any other import. Check LTCave.com for when one gets announced that you like. They discount them when they go up for preorder and have free international shipping. I order from them all the time and have never had a bad experience.

>>11165952
No, lots of garbage "sequel bait" things. Horrible show.
>>
>>11165621
IF we were dealing with Hasbro from pre-sequel era, I'd be sad. Hasbro Star Wars used to be this force (heh) to be reckoned with, where ANYthing was possible. I remember being so excited every time a toy show was coming up to see the deluge of new stuff that was heading our way. What background character was getting a figure, what ship was coming out, etc.

Star Wars was exciting. NOW though? Please just let it end. Star Wars has been limping along for so very long now, and we've gone from the open option that we could complete a collection to "well we may get one figure from it in two years time." It's just painfully dragged out, and it's not fun. We can't even get the vintage toy line completed! They have a handful of figures they could get out and have that as a feather in their cap, but they won't.

Getting the Tonnika sisters should feel like a huge victory, but instead it feels like a consolation prize. I don't get it.

I don't like the sequel trilogy either, but some of the ships are cool. I LOATHED TLJ and I still like Kylo's Tie Advanced/Interceptor looking thing.
>>
>>11165621
I really hope it doesn't happen. Hasbro have been severely shitting the bed on a corporate level for a few years now, but they own Kenner, and through Kenner we have had a continuous Star Wars line since 1978, with almost no gaps. It'd be sad to see that die because Disney can't stop fucking up. Honestly if anything Hasbro should just say "we'll keep the license, but you have no say on what we produce" and then just make stuff from the Pre-Disney era that people like and only produce Disney tie-in stuff when it proves to be a success.
If there HAS to be stuff on shelves for a new movie or whatever, then it should just be in a dedicated 3.75 inch 5 POA line.

>>11166011

Honestly I don't want anyone else to do Star Wars. Hasbro might not be perfect but I genuinely think they are the best in sculpting and engineering. When I look at other toy lines, they just look bad compared to Hasbro.

They definitely need to renegotiate terms if they haven't already because they shouldn't have their sales suffer just because Lucasfilm is retarded. It's a joke that a dead brand thinks it can charge an exorbitant licensing fee.
>>
>>11166055
>they shouldn't have their sales suffer just because Lucasfilm is retarded.
I disagree. They should have expected this. I'm pretty sure they could pull out, they'd just have to pay a hefty fee or something for breaking contract. I think they could afford to do that. Something like Boss Fight Studio that's only like 12 people, probably not.
>>
>>11166055
I think Disney needs to stop with the secret bullshit too. There's nothing to hide anymore. We know it'll be shit so at least let Hasbro know what's up so they can make toys.
>>
>>11166011
>and only produce Disney tie-in stuff when it proves to be a success.
See this is where it gets tricky though. Right now they are in a position where sometimes they have stuff made for new media and release it close to when that comes out and then sometimes they don't. And it's usually the stuff they don't have made yet that ends up being what people want, but with the 18 month production cycle, by the time they get around to releasing it, a lot of people don't care anymore because it's not the current thing and they end up as pegwarmers like the Darktrooper. Disney just needs to actually stop producing content for a while. Drop the D+ shows and go back to movies but not as annual releases. 3 year gaps between them instead just like George did. It makes the things into an event and would also give Hasbro plenty of time to make a full dedicate line and then in the in-between they can focus on gaps they usually can't get to because of the constant trying to keep up with new media.
>>
>>11166133
it's insane that disney seemed like they learned their lesson about oversaturation after solo bombed but then mandalorian was a hit and they went all-in on shows and now they're back in the same boat
>>
>>11166133
>It makes the things into an event
Fucking this, each movie release was a big deal. George was smart enough to make the movies events while letting people make comics and even cartoons to tide over the hardcore fans. The movies were the only thing mainstream audiences knew or cared about, and for the rest of us we had the EU. Even TCW which came after the movies had ended was more of a niche thing and not targeted to the same audience as the movies. Now Disney wants every show to be a big thing that everyone talks about and it's a losing prospect because even if they were all amazing it still just encourages franchise fatigue.
>>
>>11166191
I mean they ruined Mando instantly once it became a hit and because of that stupid Grogu shit. Grogu saved their asses and made people "like" Star Wars again. And then they squandered it immediately.
>>
>>11166133
>>11166201
I think a big problem is that they really want to run Star Wars like the MCU and don't seem to understand why that model of content release doesn't work with a franchise like Star Wars. Hell it's barely even working for the MCU anymore.
>>
>>11166210
Mando should have ended in season 2
then of course they had to fuck it up
>>
>>11166230
I mean it's even more egregious when you have an ending to things with Grogu leaving with Luke (and giving fans a badass Luke entrance that healed some pretty gaping wounds after Last Turd)...and then you waste fucking Boba Fett's show cramming in Grogu returning. The whole thing stank of meddling. It was so infuriating. "We gotta get our money maker back in!"
>>
>>11166234
not only that, it also evidences the absolute lack of creativity of these fucks and the desperation to at least put something in the screen even if it is just fucking trash
>>
>>11166191
>>11166201
And they overall screwed up a formula perfected by George and Kenner/Hasbro. They were so eager to make back their $4billion as quick as possible that they ended up killing the golden goose for both companies.
>>
>>11165972
What I don't understand is why they have to publicly execute Acolyte and send press releases as if it is an apology. We are pretty sure there wont be Book of Bobba S2, but no need to announce it, just keep silent
>>
>>11166285
I think a blood sacrifice had to be made this time. The fans weren't having it.
>>
>>11166285
Maybe they plan to delete it from D+ like Willow in another few months
>>
>>11166285
Book of Boba was always billed as a miniseries. There was no intention of doing a second season when they made the show so they didn't need to publicly say anything. The Acolyte was setting up plot threads for a follow up season in the show and Lesbian Headland was always being asked about plans for season 2 in every interview she did. And remember Disney didn't even officially announce anything about the cancellation, it was just quietly leaked to the press that they weren't going to move forward with another season before they finally had to say something since it was out there.
>>
>>11166301
Why did they delete Willow?! Is it a little person thing?
>>
>>11166285
I think Boba and Kenobi were intended to be miniseries. I know there was talk for both getting some tacked on bullshit second season but they could do without because they both concluded "properly". Acolyte is the only show that had a sort of cliffhanger ending so it makes sense to confirm it won't be continuing.

>>11166338
I don't really know how it works but somehow they were losing money by keeping Willow on D+ so that's why they removed it. I don't think they will remove Acolyte like that though.
>>
>>11166313
>>11166396
This, it was a miniseries. However they promissed Temura that Boba would returns in Mando S3 but that never happened, it seems the higher ups were afraid of taking Grogu from the show. I really hate how that little green thing took over the whole thing, Mando never evolved because of that.

Since we're getting all these army builder Trooper 2 packs, it would be nice if we could get some other ones too.

AOTC Phase 1 Clone Trooper vs Geonosis B1 Battle Droid (The newest versions of course)
ANH Storm Trooper Disguise Luke and Han (new Storm Trooper bodies and head sculpts)
ANH Sand Trooper 3 pack (new Sand Trooper bodies with each rank)
ESB Echo Base Trooper vs Snow Trooper (I'm fine with rereleases because they're good figures and the Snow Trooper is getting expensive.)

Action Fleet A-Wings were the best

Obviously rebels>resistance, but I do like the emerald green a little more than the dark chartreuse. That pattern is cooler, though. How does this thing scale with the MGS A-Wings? Anyone have both for comparison?
>>
>>11166396
>>11166743
It was due to royalties. It was more expensive to keep the show on and have to continue to pay the actors and writers for it when the views were not worth that cost. It was a better option to snub out the whole thing before the next quarter and write off the whole production as a loss for tax reasons.
>>
>>11166794
>ANH Storm Trooper Disguise Luke and Han (new Storm Trooper bodies and head sculpts)
I think we'll see new versions of these for the ANH anniversary. Hopefully they will have announced an all new Han by then too.

Same with this. I want new Sand troopers for both scales.

Not gonna happen but it would be crazy lol. I guess Yoda already exists in TBS with the 2 pack with non camo Gree. In the dream I was upset they made another one for TBS instead of TVC
>>
>>11167834
the problem there was that the whole bounty hunter thing was already occupied by Mando, so they most likely thought they could not do the same with Boba
The idea of making him a mafia boss was not only inherently bad, but terribly executed
The only positive thing I can say that came from that show was the silver naboo fighter, it is such a great piece
>>
Do you save the boxes for your black series figures?
>>
>>11167901
I like the idea someone proferred of Boba Fett being an older antagonistic counterpart that represented the path Mando might have taken if not for Gogurt. I never liked what AOTC did for Boba Fett, but BOBF essentially made it impossible for him to do anything of interest.
>>
>>11168034
They should've made Boba the villain of season 3 and have him, Din, and Bo all duke it out over who gets the throne. And then have either Din become Mandalor because it's satisfying or Boba to harken back to EU. But they had to cuck both of them so Bo and Fennec could be girlbosses

Ehh if they wanted they could hand wave it away with something as simple as "Boba got tired of having to be something of a politician and left "insert name here" in charge and went back to the simple life of bounty hunting"
>do a miniseries of Boba, Fennic, Bossk, and other top mercs and bounty hunters of the period chasing a big score.

One big issue is Disney has become afraid of doing planets other than Tattooine in the live action shows.
>Mando has to visit it at least 2x every season and some in between
>Boba gets fucked up there and decided he loves it and wants to be a permanent resident
>Obiwan show even when he leaves it he always has to come back
I expect if they ever do a Bo-Katan miniseries they'll accidently blow up mandalore and all the survivors move to Tattooine.
>that feel when the only time a Skywalker loved Tattooine is when it is a lego what if where it's a tropical beach planet and Luke is the big surfing kahuna
>>
>>11167834
Genuinely pisses me off when the two did their best with the material they got. I remember Morrison complaining about the script wondering why they kept making Boba just walk around and talk so much.

>>11168669
>Ehh if they wanted they could hand wave it away with something as simple as "Boba got tired of having to be something of a politician and left "insert name here" in charge and went back to the simple life of bounty hunting"
This. I actually don't mind the idea of Boba becoming a benevolent crimelord (though a "chief" would've made more sense). His redemption arc with the Tuskens were arguably the best part but remove those flashbacks and it exposes the present time events as being very dull and aimless until the climax. This is made even worse by them shoving all the good action at the very end.

Well I was gonna do it anyway. Took me a bit, but I managed to remake the wallpaper, I recently bought some carded figures so I was able to take a higher res scan of Maul's face. I then extended the "beams" for lack of a better term, by trying to match the colour, drawing them further out then using various filters and brush types in Photoshop to match the original beam textures.
It's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with it. At some point I'll try doing that other Maul packaging they did in the early 2010s, maybe some others like POTF2 and Power of the Jedi.

Oh, I didn't know they did that... now I kinda want a new one. Why is this a thing? The clones were never brought into the Empire's service by the time of the original Trilogy. It's always been presumed that they are long gone by this point or at the very least disbanded.

>nta but are you meant to take off the helmet?

I guess so. If they went out of their way to sculpt the entire head, then it makes sense you can remove the helmet. I have a 3 3/4 version and he can remove his helmet too, and it's a clone head as well. They were never unmasked in the film, and I wouldn't have them unmasked for display, but I guess it was just an extra option. I don't care if he is able to be unhelmeted desu, I just thought it was weird they used a Clone head. It was probably just the easiest option.

For TBS no, for TVC they added rocker ankles and a new helmet to the ones packed in with the Endor bunker and speeder bikes. But they look like shit because the digitally sculpted retooled parts are out of proportion with the wax sculpted original figure.

Iger had no fucking choice, as part of how he managed to avoid being ousted in the recent failed hostile takeover was him telling major players who owned key chunks of Disney stock who's votes kept him in power, that he was going to finally stop KK's reign of terror and make SW profitable again.

Acolyte was KK's final chance to fucking keep the current "force is female" direction going and she even managed to get Iger to open back up the coffers to bribe online reviewers and pro-Disney SW influencers to shill the series non-stop and blood libel ANYONE who didn't cheer it and it's woke politics as awesome.

And it flopped and flopped so fucking badly, that it has pretty much destroyed KK's political pull at the moment within Disney as far as Iger is concerned. Hence why Episode 10 has been shelved and the rumors beginning to swirl that Iger wants Cameron Monagham to be brought onboard as the new face of the franchise, in a new non-Cal Kestis role instead of Rey, in whatever shape Episode 10 takes.
