>>11577752Last Figure Standing is underway! Submit your top 10 most wanted figures in TVC. Find the submission form in the link as well as a template if you want to make a graphic and post it here! Submission period ends Friday, October 3rd @ 11:59pm PST>https://linktr.ee/LastFigureStandingAlso be sure to check out the dashboard that compiles all the data from previous years. Not only to see how a character you're thinking of adding to your list may have done previously, but also so you can see how characters were labeled to make it easier for the data cleanup. This will also help it consistent so that the votes aren't split for a character who may yet to be made and has multiple looks throughout various media. Example - Saw Gerrera in Rogue One versus Saw Gerrera in Andor. It's being advised that focusing on the push to just get one interpretation made into the line is better as it shows demand for that character exists period and will give Hasbro the ammo needed to pursue other looks down the road.
Star Wars is fucking dead and you faggots giving money to Disney when they clearly hate you is beyond pathetic.
>>11577753Date of the next fanstream. Unclear if this is going to just be a livestream of the panel at NYCC or a separate thing
Wondering when Pulse is going to ship my Han and shock troopers. People have had them from other sites for a while now. I'm not in a rush though, September was already very expensive with the gunship and other stuff.
>>11577754Thats the truth theyfucking hate us just look a this everyone wanted a palpatine black series and shit is locked for a shitty grigolandia convention
>>115777531) Frog Lady 2) Kir Kanos3) Carnor Jax4) Amanaman5) Durge6) Tredgar Volk (dinosaur bounty hunter)7) Mongo Beefhead Tribesman8) A'shared Hett Gasmask first appearance9) Dash Rendar10) Guri Literally the best list anyone will come up with, eat it.
>>11577819Mexicans don't count lol
>>11577846don't forget smellier
>>11577868a lot of smell pretty strongly of plastic and need to be washed to get the smell out
>>11577754You can be angry all you like, I still love Star Wars and will purchase what I like when I like cause fuck fascist pigs like you trying to control and judge others. How about you don’t come here and give your shitty opinion? Go to your containment zone and blend in with the low iq, hive-mind pieces of shit there you scumbag lowlife.
>>11577752When is this two pack going up? We get any news yet?
>>11578004It's going to be exclusive to NYCC and MCM London, then at some point later go on sale on Hasbro Pulse
>>11577946>I still love Star WarsThat's pretty dumb. Star Wars is this corpse now that I've grown to ignore. It's 1-6 and nothing more. Any time anyone mentions Star Wars outside of that, I know they're fake.
>>11578079No, Star Wars is what was released in 1977 and nothing more. You're just as fake as the others. Get the fuck out of this thread bitch.
BOoBS ! ! ! Now that I have your attention, any word on Prime Deals coming up?Any cheap deals known to come out soon?
>>11577752Source of this face?
>>11578158I think the whole point of Amazon deals is that nobody knows when they happen
>>11578174Watching the duel again, the closest to this face would be this moment, which is what that promotional pic is trying to capture. Except he didn’t have his teeth gritted for that moment.
>>11578228However, he does grit his teeth several times in this battle and the faces are pretty silly. I think they were trying to make that face versatile where it could work in several scenes and therefore it isn’t accurate to any one thing.
>>11577824None of those are on my list but I would buy them all.
>>11578174what's wrong with his right eye? it's like about to pop out.
>>11578155You're a fake fan, always have been. You don't even have any vintage figures.
>>11578229Yep. I like the face, but I still would've preferred >>11578228.
>>11577753My list is fairly basic because I think we've entered into a major "this stuff needs updating" phase:>Luke Skywalker (Bespin)>Obi-Wan Kenobi (ROTS)>Chancellor Palpatine (Jedi Arrest)>Boba Fett (TESB)>Kyle Katarn (Jedi Outcast)>Grand Moff Tarkin>Luke Skywalker (Death Star II)>C-3PO>Qui-Gon Jinn>Darth Maul (TPM)There might be some others that I'm not thinking of that I would trade for, but the thrust of it is this. Obi-Wan is probably coming. It wouldn't surprise me if Death Star II Luke is on the way either given the recent ROTJ Vaders and the ghost pack, but Hasbro is weird about that shit sometimes. Katarn isn't a major EU character and it would make more sense to do Mara Jade and Luke but I want Katarn anyway.
Turns out every fucking sw fan want that bs pack of palps and mace that shit is gonna sky rocket
>>11578553Sorry, I'm more of the autistic fan that only likes helmet characters and robots.I couldn't care less about Palps and Nick Fury.Go ahead and snatch up this over-priced set and sell me your purple clone troopers.
Who's your favorite jedi you own?
>>11578578Don't care about Jedi but dang if I want me a Lava Trooper
>>11578578I'm assuming you mean as a figure in general and not necessarily as a character. The new TVC RotS Anakin is great, but so are Sol and the Jedi Legend Obi-Wan. The newest ones, basically. They're the best. I have a soft-spot for pic related, though. I still like it despite its inadequacies (several of which I pointed out even at the time). Even with the shitty ankles I find myself messing with it more than the newer Mandalorian/BOBF Jedi Lukes. I'd really like to see them do a new take on it.
>>11578578What head is that on the far left figure
From GalacticFigures.com:>Hasbro has unveiled its 2025 Holiday Lookbook, showcasing an impressive lineup of toys and collectibles across beloved brands like TRANSFORMERS, MONOPOLY, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, MAGIC: THE GATHERING, PEPPA PIG, PLAY-DOH and more, including releases from STAR WARS and MARVEL. While the curated list and variety of toys are worth celebrating, many Star Wars action figure collectors are taking note of the prices listed for the Black Series and The Vintage Collection.>The Black Series 6-inch figures now carry a $27.99 price tag (up from $24.99), two-packs like the Anakin Skywalker & Captain Rex set have climbed to $51.99 from $44.99, and even core 3.75-inch Vintage Collection figures are now $19.99, up from $16.99. Especially the 3 3/4" line raises questions, because this is a price increase of 100% since the inception of the line in 2010. It’s an exciting time to be a collector, but it also raises an important question: how much higher can prices go before collectors throw in the towel? Will enthusiasm for completing every wave endure, or is this the turning point in the hobby?>This year's TVC convention Fall exclusive Jedi Force Ghost 3-pack was officially announced with an msrp of $49.99, it now jumped to $57.99. It's unclear how much the Black Series Fall convention exclusive will increase in price currently.>https://galacticfigures.com/NewsDetails?id=37024Welp that about does it for me. I don't think I'll be able to swallow $20 for a TVC figure, not with how bare bones the releases often are now in terms of paint and accessories. It's going to have to be something I really, really want to justify that. This will probably kill the line altogether. I mean Deluxe sets already pegwarm as it is and now basic figures will be practically the same price? Good luck Hasbro.
>>11578841Thank you Donald, very cool.
>>11578841Hasbro’s greed knows no limits.
>>11578860Moron
>>11578870lol
>>11578841I don’t sweat Hasbro prices after moving to imports that cost triple or quadruple. I think I’m pretty much done with my Star Wars collection anyway. I’ll get TVC Padme and the inevitable Yoda to go with the gunship. Oh and ROTS Anakin and Obi-Wan I guess whenever they happen. When I get SHF Grievous, I’ll be done with 6 inch too. Unless they make anything cool for Jedi 3 and if I like the game
chris cocks can suck mine
Got the new Anakin and Obi Wan. I like them a lot. My PT shelf is done, although I don't have a Qui Gon...
>>11578990Woops, forgot pic
>>11578991>ahsokaand you ruined it by including disney shit
>>11578997She was created before Disney purchased the IP.
>>11578878I hope the buyout of EA by the Saudis doesn't fuck up anything for Jedi 3.
>>11578878>When I get SHF Grievous, I’ll be done with 6 inch tooLets hope that gets resolved. My SHF Revenge of the Sith Yoda is being held by CDJapan because of the dumb tariffs. I have no idea how much I'll have to pay by the time it gets shipped to me. I heard it's only 15% once it gets to the USPS but we'll see (according to CDJapan. Everything is in limbo). >>11579011I imagine it will. I hate EA, but they own a lot of valuable studios and IP rights. I never thought there would be a day where I said EA could get worse, but here we are.
>>11579002And Disney puked all over her and ruined her completely.
>>11578841>and even core 3.75-inch Vintage Collection figures are now $19.99, up from $16.99What the FUCK, is that real? None of those figures are worth $20. A 3.75 Boba Fett will be $40 now.
>>11578598I like the Mimban Troopers. Been thinking about giving all my troopers capes like Roman legionaries. >>11578719I want a Luke in all black so bad but I don't like having multiples of the same character and right now I'm happy with my Yavin ceremony Luke. >>11578800It's a resin print I painted.
>>11579323Imperial Shock Trooper $19.99 on Amazon....I'll just get the 2007 or 2012 reissue figures on Ebay if they haven't yellowed
>>11579324Hasbro won't probably touch the Han Solo movie for a while but I would like a vintage Patrol Trooper
>>11579376>too cheap to pay a couple bucks more to get a vastly superior product
>>11579377I hope they never touch that travesty of a movie ever again
>>11578991God, why the fuck didn’t they paint the unibrow on the 212th attack battalion clone? It’s such a hilariously incompetent thing to do.It’s such a small detail that you don’t even really register it normally, but as soon as it’s gone, the whole helmet design looks totally fucked, so there’s a 0 percent chance they just didn’t catch it. They have to have seen it and literally just not cared at all
>>11579723They based it on TCW
>>11578079Fucking based
>>11579324>but I don't like having multiples of the same characterYou're my opposite. I'd rather have multiples of my favorite characters in their various looks than a Glup Shitto usually. I don't even really get more than one of each stormtrooper, though. I'm not a typical TVC (or Star Wars in general) collector in that sense. I'm kind of restrained.I have all the Darth Vaders Hasbro have put out in TVC since Dark Times Darth Vader (and a couple from before then).
>$20 a God damn figure nowI don't know how the line continues like that. There aren't any new fans as is, who wants to buy another clone repaint for $20?
>>11580066This shit wouldn't have happened on Patrick's watch. We need him back
>>11580066I don't know. Some people are saying it won't stop them but I don't think I'll be able to continue. The only time I army build now is with the 4 packs because it's ultimately cheaper to do so but I don't even know if I'll do that. The Force Spirits 3-pack went from $49 to $57, so likely that means the 4-pacls will be approaching $70. This is just not sustainable.
I'd like to see more Retro Collection vintage 6 packs, but based on the old legends books and comics. Imagine a Shadows of the Empire set, Heir to the Empire set, a Crimson Empire set... I'd also like figures from this period in TVC but there's no shot out of like random one or two offs.
>>11580332i want a retro Jaxxon so bad
>>11579568Nice trollSorry but not all of us have salaries above $70K.>>11579577Watch it again and tell me you didn't like itRemove all the hate or apathy that was put on it during release and just enjoy it for what it was.I hate the sequels, I enjoy Andor but to me, Solo was a fun movie.
>>11580101>Some people are saying it won't stop themI sincerely do not know how that wouldn't stop them. I know waves are anemic at like, 2-3 figures now, but God damn. That adds up.
>>11580616I guess if you have a pretty good salary and no major life expenses then it wouldn't matter. These are probably the same people that backed multiple Cantinas with no intention on selling them either. But considering we've jumped from $13 to now $20 in just a few years, it's just crazy to not be phased by that even psychologically. $17 was already on the high end of my limit for the line. That's not far off from prices for 1:18 imports. For me though, I'd have to see real value in the offerings from now on to continue buying at full price and I just don't see them throwing in extra hands and shit now. It'll be status quo as usual. Guess my monthly toy budget is just going to be lumped together with my kid's from now on.
>>11580057I totally get that, I've followed other lines entirely for one character and had no interest in anything else they released. I already have Imperial and Rebel armies for Legion so I only buy figures of characters that I really like and don't want a sprawling action figure collection of characters I already have minis of.
Sh figuarts casual wear boba fett.
>>11581840
>>11578071Do some com sw toys ever comeback to pulse site? I never seen this happening.
>>11578400More like incomplete fan. And and closed mind retard
>>11581886Yes. It's happened almost every year since Covid. Sometimes they even stick around for quite a while afterwards like the TVC Krrsantan set.
These guys turned out pretty good
>>11581917I still bought them, but damn did the whole SDCC set thing leave a sour taste in my mouth with these figures.
>>11581957They could have at least released these as deluxe sets with the alt heads and accessories and just leave out the lava platforms. Maybe one swappable blade effect instead of 3. Just seems like leaving money on the table. Why tool all of that shit just to never use it again? I don't get it.
>>11577946>fascist pigslol you sound like a huge faggot. How’d you even find your way here?
>>11581957The set was too much for me anyway so I settled on waiting for the single releases before it ever went live. Would've liked at least the extra heads or hands with the singles but oh well.
>>11577755Who cares?It's jus gonna be another disappointing showcase where we already know what the reveal is gonna be
>>11582234I care. I want to see what this release of Cantina aliens is going to be about
>>11578174>”Galactic Basic, nerf-herder! Do you speak it?!”
>>11580554Not him, but Solo was shit.I gave it a chance a year after it came out, borrowing someone's DVD and nothing was good about the movie.It felt like it was made in the 80s to cash in on Star Wars. Nostalgic as fuck, but in a bad way. It's everything that is wrong with Hollywood. I think it did more to shit on STar Wars canon/lore than any of the sequels.Also, Lilo and Stitch makes more money on merch sales than Star Wars and Marvel.IT's now the number 2 property over at Disney.>“Meanwhile, Lilo & Stitch is on track to become the company’s second-largest licensed merchandise franchise this year behind only Mickey Mouse, with more than 70% revenue growth compared to last year. Stitch has also been deployed across our parks and experiences worldwide as we leverage the popularity of this global phenomenon.”>Bob Iger, CEO The Walt Disney Company in Prepared Statementhttps://thatparkplace.com/bob-iger-accidentally-reveals-star-wars-and-marvel-retail-slump-while-stumping-for-lilo-stitch/
Friendly reminder there's only a handful of hours left to submit your top 10 for Last Figure Standing
>>11583043They only keep this open for a week? Well regardless I don't really even have 10 figures that I want that they won't be likely to make. Maybe clone commando. But we know the winner will be some lame OT glup shitto
>>11583059Even if you don't submit a top 10, you can still vote, so participate that way if you can.
>>11583043Submitted my list of nearly-all-imperial-armybuilder figures again, still expecting none of 'em to make it to voting but maybe this'll be the year I'm pleasantly surprised.
>>11583125What's your list?
>>11583163>Ferrix trooper>Mudtrooper>TK Trooper>Patrol trooper>DT sentry droid>EAfrontI imperial shock trooper>the 3 JFO purge troopers we haven't gotten in 1/18 scale yetand the only one that's a named character,>Crosshair in his imperial armorI also pretty desperately want an all-new updated version of the TIE Pilot, but I can't bring myself to put that on this list when it really really shouldn't need fan polling results to make happen. JFO Flametrooper just barely missed the list for the same reason, if we have to 'motivate' hasbro to reuse the new snowtrooper body, we might just be fucked.
>>11583186>when it really really shouldn't need fan polling results to make happenI don't let that influence my list. I just put shit I want on there, even if it's obvious. I'll admit I'm not super principled about it, but in general I'm more interested in seeing what people want the most and make my list in keeping with that.
Casual collector here, couple of figures I'd like:-Plagueis in 6 inch and another 3.75 inch release (secondary market prices seem to show a demand)-Death Star Droid in 6 inch and re-release of 3.75 in vac-metal either original, latest, or a new sculptIs there a chance I'll get lucky anytime soon?
>>11583359Not with this current Star Wars team.
>>11583359A year or two ago I would of said no way in hell.. now that we have gotten Dash Rendar and Prince Xizor in the Black Series, I think anything is possible.
>>11583359Not likely at all. Everything's kind of on a downward drop. Especially as prices keep going up and product gets worse.
>>11580554>Watch it again and tell me you didn't like it>Remove all the hate or apathy that was put on it during release and just enjoy it for what it was.>I hate the sequels, I enjoy Andor but to me, Solo was a fun movie.I don't hate on the Solo movie as much as it gets, but it does deserve -some- hate.they botched the "life debt" Chewie intro. that should have been a much more dire situation for Chewie. something where Chewie was seriously about to die. instead Chewie was the one to free them and it makes the whole life debt thing a joke.I can't blame them for doing it, but "setting up the sequel" scenes ruin a lot of the movie. Qi'ra taking charge, Darth Maul, those were interesting... IF they would have made a sequel. without a sequel, those scenes are lame. super lame.and the tacked-on-the-end Lando "losing" the Falcon to Han? Argh. the worst part. at that point, the Falcon was more important to Lando than it ever was to Han. Lando "loved" the droid they put into the computer! (yeah, I was even willing to accept that bit of hyper-woke nonsense)I'll end with some cool moments, the Kessel Run was neat (distance vs time screw-up covered as well as it could be) and Han "learning" to shoot first was so epic it wins back a lot of points the rest of the movie took away. and the Han actor was clearly having fun, he elevated a lot of it. all the cast did really good with their roles.and the "cantina scene" with all the random background gangsters is a treasure trove of action figures they could do. I find it hilarious that EVERY new Star Wars thing does a "cantina scene" with a gazillion cool background alien monster people, and NONE of them get action figures!! WHY!!?? The original trilogy got all the cantina aliens AND Jabba's Palace aliens as figures. hope you enjoyed my blog post
>>11583872>Lando "loved" the droid they put into the computer! (yeah, I was even willing to accept that bit of hyper-woke nonsense)I always got the impression that it was a one-sided thing and the droid was just kind of delusional about how close their relationship actually was. The only hint we get at them being lovers is the droid boasting about it and Qira just being like "uh sure okay"
>>11583885Did you forget Lando holding L3 dramatically in his arms while she was dying? He was freaking out the whole time. The scenes made it seem like it was payoff for the silly droid "romance" teasing earlier in the movie.
>>11583885when the droid "died" Lando acted the heck out of that moment. I felt bad for him. for the most part it felt like they were close buddies and I never thought Lando "Loved"-loved (y'know) the droid, but he felt something deep.
>>11583899>for the most part it felt like they were close buddies and I never thought Lando "Loved"-loved (y'know) the droid, but he felt something deep.yeah this is what I gotlando never really treated her romantically so it came across to me like if luke were to lose r2
>>11583199Fair point, by that criteria if/when we still have none of my top 10 by next year, I'd probably swap imperial crosshair and the shock stormtrooper repaint for a new TIE Pilot and the JFO Flametrooper, but I still feel like it's a fairly safe bet none of these 12 will make it to voting this year regardless. I could free up a lot of space by taking off the 3 purge troopers, obviously, but if we're being honest with ourselves, any new purge trooper would use the new clone body at this point, which would mean we'd need the electrostaff guy again too since he's on the older one, but then that's even worse at 4/10 slots, and ultimately I really do want those guys more than basically anything else on my list so I can't really cut them. If more people cared I imagine all 4 JFO purge troopers could get an exception like the Tonnika sisters did and be condensed into one entry, but we're definitely not there currently, in terms of vocal fan demand.
>>11583899That movie was 80% completed by the hands of the same duo that did the Lego Movie and Spiderverse (Lord and Miller), before Disney pulled the plug and handed the director chair to Ron Howard who, afaik, reshot the whole thing. That's why the movie have such weird dialogue and changing in tone between scenes.
>>11583872I thought the cast was fantastic. I really was hoping they would make that Lando spinoff show and bring back Han to cover up some of the stuff they were setting up for the sequel. Wish we could have had that instead of The Acolyte or BoBF.>and the "cantina scene" with all the random background gangsters is a treasure trove of action figures they could doGod there's so many I would instantly buy. I'm going to hold out hope that one day they will surprise us with at least a Therm Scissorpunch but I would love a multipack with any mixture of them thrown in.
>>11581840>>11581856Looks like a janitor.
>aww shieeet, master
>>11583898I forgot this bullshit happened. Solo really is a fucking horrible movie.
>>11577752I can just hear the rrrraaaasaggggghhhhh in this pic.
I saw the new Sandtrooper and Bly or whomever at Walmart. What the fuck happened to the details? They were already yellowed and soft looking.
>>11584737They're not yellowed, they use off white plastic when they want to give off a more weathered look. Both are great figures.
>>11577752My OCD is in overdrive. A figure that came in a two pack was missing his better half and i feel guilty buying it because i wish couldve boughten them both and now i have OCD because the zuckuss figure is missing his 4-LOM fren.
>>11584791Also i feel extra bad because his cloth skirt is disintegrating
>>11584793No need to fret. That's just free weathering
>>11584835Its mostly all come off by now. Also i got the rare TVC tarkin figure for 45$. O took him out of his package too
>>11584846I hope we get a new TVC Tarkin for the 2027 anniversary.
>>11584859I hope we don't have to wait that long, we've already had an updated officer body for a few years
>>11584908Well I'm just expecting it to happen then because we don't have much else to wait for from ANH. They've already covered updates for the rest of the mains. I mean I'm sure we'll get something like easy repacks of Han and Luke for their Death Star escape looks. And hopefully Leia with a softgoods skirt.
>>11584859I hope we get that cantina patrons 4 pack that was teased soon. I really hope the wolf guy that didnt get in the haslab is in it
>>11584918Knowing Hasbro they'll reissue the same figures but on super special anniversary cards
The gangs all here!
>>11584984ALL the stars are here!
>>11584984demogorgon was so distraught when he heard the news about the death star
>>11584989ELEVEN TURN ON THE FUCKING HOLONETTHEY HIT THE DEATH STAR, THEY HOT THE FUCKING DEATH STAR ELEVENi dont even watch stranger things BTW i just thought the demogorgon looks cool
>>11584997Sir... a second xwing hit the deathstar
>>11584997>i dont even watch stranger things BTW i just thought the demogorgon looks coolI think we all have figures from stuff we don't care about and/or have never seen
>>11584997is that the new Jazwares 4" line? haven't seen them in stock anywhere yetI might pick up a couple to use as base bodies for Yuuzhan Vong warriors
>>11585023They had them in a special section of stranger things merch at the target near me in a section near the books
>>11584997Does it have knee joints?
>>11585313Yes
>>11585467Excellent. Been needing something in this scale with digitigrade legs like that
>>11585482Hes pretty cool and iirc was only like 10$. He also comes with an alternate head with his mouth closed on it, too.
>>11584793You weren't supposed to open it!!!
>>11585663That looks surprisingly good. Might have to hunt this down now.
>>11585663Crap
>>11585680I open my figures, how was i supposed to know his skirt would disintegrate like it did
can anyone id the base figure(s) used in this custom swoop rider?
>>11586204Looks like a Hammond Collection Claire Owens with an Aayla Secura head and hands from either Joy Toy or maybe Marauders Task Force.
Prime Day deals aren't super great but I did get 2 of the TVC 501st troopers for $13.
>>11587531I think there was more stuff this morning. I saw the black series Fallen Order 3 pack half off. Was going to think about it but saw it's already back to full price
The con exclusives are going up on Thursday for Premium members. Of course they don't say what time
>>11584793kek, my original is near mint, where the heck was this thing stored?!
Jedi Survivor 2 pack leak. Might be a walmart exclusive. Price is crazy but I'll get it because the purge trooper is on the new body which I've wanted for a long time. Though I recently got the old one and now I wish I hadn't.
>>11587954Sucks they repacked the inaccurate shield though. They got it wrong the first time because they based it off concept art but there is no excuse now that the game has been out for two years
>>11587954Oh right the price is Canadian dollars
>>11587956What’s wrong about it? Just that it’s missing the imperial cog?
Just nabbed 4 TVC Gammos from Target. Feels good man.
>>11587954I wonder if the Purge trooper is on the newer clone body. Also sure would love this in TVC.
>>11587992Yeah the cog and it's white instead of gray>>11588068It is on the new body. They also added the ammo pouches to the pauldron. I hope they tooled a new DC-15LE to make it perfect but they probably didn’t
where can i find backgrounds for dioramas? Hard to find movie shots that will work for 6" black series without main characters in the background, or shot wide/bar back enough for a micro Galaxy display. The closest thing I have found so far is Hoth or Endor, which is easy enough to find real-world photos of a forest or tundra.We are getting a new wide format printer at work tomorrow, so I want to use some diorama backgrounds as test prints.What does everyone suggest? Is there a good resource for Battlefront Backgrounds/environments? anyone have screencaps from the movies without main characters?
>>11588456Try artstation for game screencaps posted by the environmental artists that made them. Or you can even use photo modes in game to take them yourself if you have the games.
>>11587954>doing the commander again before doing the electrobatons guy onceFor fuck's sake, why?
>>11588563true but the commander is my favorite variant so I'd rather have a new body commander than an old body batons
>>11588566Being on a different body makes things even worse, though, because for them to all match we'd now need three more 6" purge trooper releases instead of just one.
>>11584430>Seamus McFett, Specialized clone of Jango Fett biologically altered to wield the fury of a raving Scotsman.
>>11588515this is exactly the sort of thing I am looking for. thank you!
Wish they'd make Sim Aloo finally.
Could anybody recommend a good forum or discord for star wars figures and customs parts trading/selling, also would like to know the construction of individual figures before I pull heads off instead of assuming they're all on ball joints...
Thread is so dead you guys don't even care about the reveals.
>>11589322Correct
>>11589322Post them then
>that one Bitchin creaming herself and screaming >everyone else silentStar Wars is dead.
>>11589331Fine, here you go. Go fucking crazy now
>>11589343We won.
>>11589343>one good reveal I’ll take it
>>11589384
>>11589384>plastic capeHasbro please…
>>11589322I would have been posting them but I operate on Mountain time. Didn't feel like getting up early since it was a shared brand panel and I figured there wouldn't be a ton of stuff. Looks like I was right.
of course nigger series gets my favourite character
>>11589474>see something you like and want>seethe about it instead of just buying it
>>11589473>8am is earlybruh, I've been up since 4am, come on now you bitch.
>>11589491why would i buy a figure in a scale i don't collect? it's like if they made a Hot Toys, i wouldn't buy it
>>11589387nice when will she be available?
>>11589343wake me up when it's 1/18. what is wrong with these retards
>>11589507Good for you, Jocko. I go to bed at 2am
>>11589511>>11589545Well if one scale is making the figures you want and the other isn't, maybe it is time to switch
im not paying nearly 80 euros for palpatine in temu robes and mace with a the rizzler face
>>11589602but i like vehicles and the other scale doesn't have them at all
>>11589343Until this moment, the Gaming Greats have merely been the Gaming Okays
>>11589531Reminder she was executed in front of obi wan and anakin then 5 seconds later they started quipping
>>11589663not canon
>>11589602Get the fuck out of here hasblow shill, 1/12 shit and you both can go die in a fire
Hmmm
>>11589699It’s fucking Dwight
>>11589699>>11589702Sure ain't Jason Court, that's for damn sure
>>11589699kek looks like a high school english teacher or something
WTF Is going on with the Pulse exclusives?? I thought Premium only got a 1-hour window, but its been over an hour already. Are they getting a 2-hour window??
>>11589699I'd have liked him to look more like the actor from the game cutscenes but that's a lot better than I expected
>>11589727Only Premium members are getting access to preorders today. Non members won't get them until November 3rd.
>>11589785>Non members won't get them until November 3rd.If true and not a typo on Hasbro's site, then I'm simply walking away. That's beyond absurd. I'm not paying them for a fucking membership ever again, I've had too many bad experiences with them. If they want to gatekeep everything beyond their previous 1-hour window then they can simply get fucked on principle.
>>11589656lol, I wanted that set, but that price is a very easy nope. 20€ less would be more in accordance with the contents.
>>11589808Okay? They have to give Premium members some sort of benefit for the money, so I don't see what's to be upset about. They implemented a limit of 2 and neither exclusive has even sold out yet. They probably did a large run since they're double dipping it for MCM London later this month.
>>11589699Looks like a good start to a Randy custom, will just need to swap the hair
>>11589656>temu robeskekHasbro has REALLY gone off the rails with their prices. And before anyone goes just blindly saying "muh tariffs", its all about growing profits for the shareholders, not charging appropriate prices with a profit built in.
>>11589699Doesn't look like Kyle Katarn at all.
>>11589844>Okay? They have to give Premium members some sort of benefit for the money, so I don't see what's to be upset about.>their previous 1-hour window >their previous 1-hour window >their previous 1-hour window Your benefit is free shipping. A 1-hour window WAS the standard. Almost an entire MONTH is fucking ridiculous. That said, I'm fucking DONE. I've been waiting all year to get the Jedi Spirit 3pack, but fuck it, I'll just 3d print my own, they just fucking stand around anyway, they literally don't even need articulation.It's easier and easier to just walk away.
>>11589862Toppest Kek! Your obsession has finally paid off. Enjoy your (you)
>>11589384>>11589387BIG CUMS
THEY DELAYED MY FUCKING SANDTROOPER PREORDER!
>>11589692>blueharvestcollector having a melty again
Boy those are some lame ass reveals today
>>11589699>>11589931Looks like they based him off galaxy of heroes. Almost looks like Ryan Gosling to me too. I think he looks good but I don't care that much about him anymore and there's nothing to go with him. Maybe if they made some EU dark troopers I would get both. I guess that's the wrong game for this design though
>>11589862Kill yourself you fucking faggot troll
>>11589862Fuck off
bruh no one cares about Boba Fat why didn't they make the ESB costume? But I'm surprised there is no Boba tax especially with those new toe hinges which make his feet look super long btw
>>11589699That's not bad but I'm not sure where they're getting that likeness from. The mobile game or something? It doesn't look like Court and it doesn't really look like Kyle's character model in JKII or JKIII either.
>>11589933They never once said that benefit was going to be limited to just a one hour window. Also this makes up for Premium members getting fucked over in the last round of preorders when the Stormtrooper and Cantina Adventures sets were open to everyone in that first hour, when it was supposed to be just for Premium members, and wound up selling out before most members could even buy them.
Vader is the new Lando. Sucks there's not much custom fodder potential with them either
>>11590000Why did they release this again?
>>11590003This one specifically was very hard to find and went for like $100 on the second hand market
>>11589997They really cheaped out on the paint with him. Zero weathering on the armor, no applications on his gauntlets, base yellow plastic knee dart launchers. I guess they knew they wouldn't be able to get away with another deluxe Boba Fett that would just rot on pegs. Glad I got the SHF one for super cheap.
Good>added bicep and pauldron pouches to the purge trooper>made it on the new clone body>I love the purge troopersBad>lame dull visor instead of the bright red like on the electrohammer one>no DC-15LE but a carbine they never even use>riot trooper's shield missing the imperial cog and is the wrong color>I have to pay $55 for this when I only want the purge trooper>I will feel bad for preordering if it's eventually marked down to $13 or whatever like most other walmart exclusives
Holy shit, are they doing ball jointed wrists for TVC now? Those don't look like the normal pegged hands they do on the female figures.
>>11590022mah waife very nice
>>11590022good catch hope that's the case and not just the wrists not being pushed in all the way or something. Think that would be a good solution to the minimum wall thickness problem too
>>11590011You could probably offload the Patrol Trooper and get some of your money back. I think more people would want to army build those since they tended to appear in groups as opposed to the Purge Troopers. Otherwise, you could probably just wait because it'll definitely go to clearance.
>>11590031They didn't seem to talk about it on the stream at all so it does make me wonder. Maybe Emily or Steve will clarify in the TVC Facebook group.
>>11590031Also that minimum wall thickness must be out the equation now because the Yori figure in the Tron HasLab has hinged wrists and her forearms don't look any thicker than an average TVC female.
all this talk of female wall thickness has me feeling some type of way
>>11589343Finally.Now, all they need to do is finish up the rest of the KOTOR cast and my collection will be complete.
>>11590097>thinking they're going to complete anythinglol
>>11590106They completed Delta Squad, so I still have some hope that we'll see HK-47 sometime in the next 5 years.
>>11590033Wasn't the original one a peg warmer though?>>11590056Don't they have double jointed knees too? Maybe it's just nonsense from factory/lucasfilm mandates>>11590090Remember how fat they made the Hera figure's ass? The least Disney Star Wars could do is put more women wearing tight pants in their Disney+ slop
>>11590123>Don't they have double jointed knees too? Maybe it's just nonsense from factory/lucasfilm mandatesYea! I was actually surprised to see that too. Same with the mid torso joint instead of having it at the waist like TVC usually does. I wonder if this will be the standard for the rest of their 3.75" stuff in this new expression and if that means TVC will start getting changes in the articulation as well or remain the same. I know before when TBS got rid of the thigh swivels, Chris Reiff was asked in a Q+A is that would happen to TVC as well and he said it wouldn't because TVC relies on more parts reuse and that joint makes it easier to do that.
>>11589997Bro looks like a Sontaran
>>11589992>Doesn't look like Jason Court, John Boyega, OR Diego Lunawhat a waste
>>11589992I bet they're going to bust out the Aphra mold and make Jan with it to go with him.
>>11590153I don't think they will change anything because Tron isn't a Lucasfilm property. Indiana Jones started the ball jointed wrists which black series now has. But black series doesn't do double knees like marvel legends. They don't seem to match engineering language across their brands for whatever reason>>11590212>Kyle Katarn not looking like REEEEYYY!!! or Anbore is a wasteRetard
>>11589992>>11589699There's a guy in Australia who sells custom Black Series heads, I know he already has an Outcast-era Katarn head that works pretty well, I bet he's gonna have a field day with this.He also made a head for Dash Rendar that was accurate to the early concept art where he looked like mid-90s Russel Crowe and now I've got that head stuck in my mind.
>>11590007Which is funny because even the TBS figure of the Mando version had weathering, and that armor is supposed to be slightly less weathered than the Book of Boba version. It's not really news anymore that they like to cheap out on details but its annoying how some figures have it on point and then some take massive steps back in basically the same generation and it seems random as fuck.>>11589997Even the promotional photo looks goofy. That kama is so badly edited.
>>11590236Syndicate customs? Every time I see his heads, I want to tell him they look sickly with jaundiced skin and red eyes but I don't want to be a jerk kek. A lot of his work is really good though and he's clearly talented so I don't get why keeps fucking up the colors like that
>>11590011Well at least there's a better chance now that a 212th airborne trooper will finally come out. I'm probably gonna stop collecting though, the quality of the paints keeps going down.
>>11590250>Well at least there's a better chance now that a 212th airborne trooper will finally come outThey have had this helmet mold for over 6 years
>>11590233>But black series doesn't do double knees like marvel legends.There was a time, once, when you could rely on double knees and double elbows on every Black Series figure. Better days.
>>11590007Why even bother
>>11590257Is it even the same one? Wasn't the old one on the first version of the clone body? Those helmets couldn't fit heads.
>>11590243I just assume it's shitty lighting in the photos
>>11590007I think they screwed up the helmet color again, it should be the same as his chest plate.
>disney slop
>>11589862KEK
>>11590377You're as big a loser as that poster.
i'm guessing this randy person is an eceleb? probably related to toy fandom/collecting?i dunno i don't follow toy tubers... they're all insufferable faggots
>>11590441It's just trolls on this board being retarded. Same old, same old for /toy/
>>11589699I hope we get some more characters.
>>11590455She very cute. Can't wait to see a tummy version
>>11590007Yeah for that version of Boba the shf is a a high bar to pass, especially if you caught him on sale.
Dash Rendar and kyle both getting figuresBut where is MY GOAT Joruus C'BAOTH?
>>11590632we got him in both scales through thrawn trilogy multipacks, do you need him on a single card/box or something?
>>11590455She has a booger on her nose
>>11589699Not as Monkey Paw'ed as I expected, it's pretty ok
>>11590007I'm still getting this just because I want one to play around with while keeping the SHF pristine, but man they really cheapened out on the details.>>11590241>Which is funny because even the TBS figure of the Mando version had weathering, and that armor is supposed to be slightly less weathered than the Book of Boba version. Now that you mention it. Damn, that's just sad.
>>11590632Been waiting for you to buy him for like a year now
What do you need to be a premium mf on hasbro pulse?
>>11589656Paying premium bullshit this pack cost 110$
>Yoda, Qui-Gon, and Mace WinduReally Hasbro?
>>11591244What they say is true, from a certain point of view.
>>11591058like $50
>purge trooper 2 pack $45 instead of $55>just noticed he doesn't have the kama strapsFUCK. I hope I can swap the belt from the old one without cutting. But the old new clone body had a hard plastic torso that you couldn't separate, not sure about the new new one
>>11590634i dont want a hideous mara jade or hideous lukes i just want my friend Joruus
>>11591461sell the rest of the pack on ebay if you can tolerate selling on ebay, or buy joruus loose by himself on ebay if you can't
>>11591244This is what you get with Disney in charge.
>>11591244Maybe they used AI.
>>11591244
>>11591244>Doesn't get to be a master even in his special ghost 3-packIT'S NOT FAIR
>>11591244>you....want...this. Don't you?>Give in to your FOMO>I am defenseless>Take your Jedi credit card >Click BUY IT NOW>It is unavoidable>You become more my servant
>>11591753I would never pay extra for this slop. My last order they said shipped but then FedEx showed waiting for the shipment for a week. Asked them what was up and was basically told oh good news it had shipped and told me what I already told them. Asked again and it did finally move by FedEx Smart Post where FedEx basically took it across the street and gave it to USPS. It arrived a week later. So two weeks after they said it shipped.
>>11591883I remember when a bunch of people signed up for premium just to get the Mustafar duel set and still weren't able to get it kek
>>11591244This actually does a good job of pointing out the people in charge of the franchise and how they do not give as shit on any level. Star Wars is in the hands of people who simply do not care about Star Wars so who cares what names they slap on a figure, the nerds will buy it every time right??
>>11592086Damn. Imagine getting fleeced for Prequel trash!
lil piggies are in stock on target . com
Finally got Han and now the gang is complete. I don't like the new Chewie so I will just stick with VC141 and probably not going to bother with C-3PO either if they make a new one.Ngl, while I'm happy to have them, I feel like these are all varying levels of disappointing. It doesn't feel like they took the make the mains movement seriously. These should have been the best 3.75" Star Wars figures ever but they all have some issues. It is frustrating because I know they are capable of better because they have done better in the past.
>>11592177To go into more detailLeia>traffic cone that can't sit in the Falcon or recreate any pose from the movie that is not just a neutral standing stanceLuke>Something is off about the face and I think they have done better Hamill likenesses in the past. The Yavin ceremony headsculpt is more handsome, I would have preferred them to just reuse that with a slightly more tan complexion>I think the boots also should have been a different color/weathered but I guess you can kitbash an ideal Luke with the one that comes with the landspeederHan>face might be okay but the hair is terrible and throws it off.>vest does not hug the torso enough so makes him look fat>legs are too far apart and a little thick and also contribute to him looking fat>fat wrists>DL-44 doesn't have the silver tip painted which they have painted beforeChewbacca>unforgivable that he wasn't all new>the leg gap with no fur around the groin hanging down just looks terrible>yet another open mouth expression when there have only ever been like 2 or 3 chewies with closed mouths>same crappy bowcaster that falls apartSo I guess Chewie is the worst one and the other three are serviceable. Maybe the issues are somewhat minor but still bother me a little. And like I said I know they could have been better because they have done better before
>>11592177>>11592196I really wish they hadn't started doing the separate molded hair for TVC. It works fine in 6 inch scale but god it looks awkward in 3.75.
>>11592263It works better on some than others. I think most of the new stuff we've gotten is good/fine, but Han is an example where it lets the figure down. The face is one of the better Ford sculpts in any scale.
>>11592177Appropriate dubs for the pic. Nice. I'm pretty happy with all of them to be honest. I want a reissued Leia with a soft goods dress obviously. I was worried about Han from photos but in person I really am not bothered by the flaws except for his wrists. But swapping his arms with those of the last Endor version fixes that. Chewie is probably my least favorite but it's more so that his arms suck but it's mostly just the hands. I hope the next release either has brand new arms or at least some swappable hands because it's such a pain in the ass to get him to hold the bowcaster and they look retarded in any other pose but that. I just want some that are closer to how they did Krrsantan or the Black Series version Also a different way of doing his bandolier and bag would be nice because as it is, it's hard to get him to sit anywhere unless you have a spot for his bag to hand off of. I'm considering clipping it off and making a little soft goods one instead.
Play features.
>>11593286For gay creatures.
Toys.
Kind of annoying that we didn’t get a new Dannik when his only figure has ugly ass holes all over his face. He’s such a prominent character at the bar.
>>11593724I think we will see a new one eventually. He's just a new head and frost torso piece on an imperial officer body pretty much, so no reason they can't do it.
Fucking Christ. This is at Walmart too.
>>11593849
>>11593849What the fuck is a snooga?
>>11593858Hasbro uses codenames for most of their figures and Walmart tends to use those as the actual product name. If you ever check your receipt you'll see something like "SW BL IDAHO" as the product name.
>>11592155Nice. One of my local Targets randomly them in stock, so I picked up four of them. First run I've made to a store in years, but that makes me appreciate them a little more. Definitely older figures, but they look nice and make the throne room really feel like Jabba's.
>>11593910i love this figure so goddamn mucholder articulation be damned, it's perfect for what it needs to do
Finally got my TIE Defender MGS from Amazon.I was annoyed about having to pay extra to get it in their stupid bundle with a scout-class vehicle, but it worked out great for me because I got one of the chase vehicles so I'll be able to sell it and wah lah, free TIE Defender
>>11594215Mine hasn't shipped yet, but apparently I should get it this week. My ARC-170 was supposed to come today but it was delayed a day by FedEx.
>>11594337I was pissed about that. Fuck all these companies for raising prices on inventory they already have been selling that isn't being effected by however Trump is feeling that day about China.
>>11593849>>11593850Kek, I only shop SW at ROSS these days.
Kino>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8o7Fd1x5BY
>>11594422What happened to Ollies? don't see them getting new stuff anymore but lots of people find stuff at Ross now. Not me though. My nearby Ross's only have like 1.5 toy aisles that only have baby toys strewn about. It's not a place I want to check often because it's smelly and gross and filled with the dregs of society. At least Ollies usually has a little bit more class.
Based Dark Rey from an Amazon review
I think I'll pass on the Jedi Spirits. There's just no way those faces should be painted. The figures look more like Star Trek Transporter figures if you watch a youtube review, transparent blue at the bottom to fully painted on the heads. Just retarded. And I really hate how cheap the cloaks look. Plus, Yoda just looks off, like they used a dueling AOTC body mold.
>>11594528My Ross never has TVC stuff and only occasionally a few Black Series and the odd Retro figures. But I'm like you, it's not a store I like to go to. The odd time I find something, it then becomes a half hour wait in line because the entire population of northern Mexico crosses over to come shop at it and the other discount stores in the plaza. Sometimes it's just not even worth it for what I want to buy so I'll just leave without it. I wish so badly we had an Ollie's here.
That bad huh?
TVC TBOBF Boba (wow, typing that out sounds silly) is on sale right now for 7 dollars at BBTS.>>11594838That's honestly a great deal. I really like the figure (and the new design) but it does have trouble standing. Mine has a semi loose foot that cause a lot of trouble.
>>11594909Thanks for the heads up. That's worth it just for the extra Stormtrooper heads
>>11594909Oh hell yeah, nice, thanks for posting that; I've wanted more of the damaged helmets to mix in with my remnant troopers for a while now, been hoping for a sale like this that'd give me an excuse to get 'em.
>>11594955>>11594959No problem. I wish I would of posted it in the thread earlier! The Stormie helmets are a big reason I snagged the figure a swell. I think they would look really cool on TVC Nighttrooper figures.
>>11594194Yeah, I've come to really appreciate them over the last week. The level of detail more than makes up for the lack of articulation. What do you really need them to do besides stand around and get choked out by Luke?
>>11594998Wow, that picture is phenomenal Anon. If you took it yourself, great job!
>>11594999 Nice trips and thanks man. Trying to find the right lighting and and angles for the throne room is always tricky for me, but I'm glad this one came out well. I just found the adventure playset on eBay for a decent price, so I'll continue Jabbaposting once it's here.
>>11594528They're still buried in ObiWan slop along with eternal and black panther 2 shit. They forego the annual Hasbro buyout this year it seems and those figs are sporadically popping up at ROSS now. Marvel Legends 2 packs, GI Joes, so many Black Series i've picked up at ROSS, like the entire Skelly Crew Wave, some Andor figs, Dedra I grabbed yesterday, white cloth Ahsoka, blue Elon Musk. I see the Acolyte Jedis finally making their way into ROSS. Cheap options for robes.
>>11594998Nice pic. I pre-ordered two guards and then ordered two more the other day when they had a couple of Target Circle specials going on. So those ones I got for $33 with free shipping. They really are great figures.
>>11594909This was the weathering >>11590007 needed to be a 10/10. Fuck you HASSbro.
>>11594994>I think they would look really cool on TVC Nighttrooper figuresThey do! That's why I wanted extras. When I got my second set of Nighttroopers, I tried that swap and was really happy with it but I also didn't want to make it permanent since the cracked helmets have uses elsewhere to. Now I won't have to worry. Plus that Boba figure is fantastic even if the source wasn't as good as it should have been, so having a backup of him will be nice as well.
>>11595502I'll be doing the same. Thanks for telling me they fit. I figured they would but it's good to get confirmation before I start yanking off their heads. I'll post pictures once it comes in the mail. The Boba looks pretty sweet too.>>11595000Post more. God knows this thread needs more actual toy photos and discussion.
Posting my bunker, since the thread apparently needs more toys.
>>11596285I still need to get one of those. For some reason they shot up in price on Amazon to like $79 which was crazy.
>>11593724>kids will want this if we add face tentacles
>>11596810in fairness, they at least help sell the idea that he's an alien and not just the most british looking guy in the galaxy
The Black Series Gamorrean Guard is honestly a great figure, even though it's a pretty old at this point. The detail on the little piggy is off the charts.I had him in a pile of toys I haven't opened yet. I'm really impressed with it.
Anyone with the Palps Mace pack post pics.
*Angry Sith noises*>>11596410Yikes, I paid like 50 for mine and even that feels like a lot for what's there. It is fun though, I still need to really commit and pick up an AT-ST for it at some point.
Crimson Empire was cool.
L o fucking L
>>11597634It's a really good figure, at least. Wish it had better ankles though.
>>11597082Dark Empire had all the cooler designs.
Finally remembered to open Dash today. Some people might not be crazy about the Kurt Russell head sculpt, but I love it and think it works really well. May the wings of Millennium Falcon never lose a feather.>>11597743True, a Dark Empire Luke and Palpatine two pack would be sick.
>>11597796Need Lebo, Guri, Buzz cut Chewy and Jix on a Swoop. And another Swoop for Dash. Maybe we'll get a new IG-88 for SOTE.
Man ebay is crowded with the palpatine an mace pack whats wrong with it?
>>11598158>>11589656
>>11589656How is it that they could do all that intricate patterning on some of the recent Jedi robes like Shaak Ti, Barriss Offee, and Luminara, but this expensive exclusive set, they just sort of wrap a piece of felt around ol' Palpy?
>>11598190The usual answer; so that they have a reason to sell you a better one later.
>>11596917I forgot they even made that for Black Series. Was it only reissued once? I just got two more of the TVC one from Target. Wish they could have retooled its head to have the articulating jaw like the 6" one but other than that I'm still really happy with that one.
How do you even experience shadows of the empire? Can you even still play the game anywhere or is it something only boomers know about?
>>11598285I bought it like a year or two ago from Gog and played through it on PC
>>11598285You can literally buy it on Steam, it actually performs fine on modern hardware, your biggest hurdle is getting proper controller support, but there are plenty of Steam user configs people have uploaded that work fine. Also N64 emulation has been solved for years with things like Simple64. Do you guys not have the entire N64 library saved on a hard drive?
>>11598285>or is it something only boomers know about?Anon, did you forget you are in a Star Wars thread where we love movies that are pushing almost 50 years old?
