>>11673545
Somehow Arliel returned
>>11673545Really? They said the cantina 4 pack would have characters never done before. Garindan and labria have had figures in the past. And no one wants fucking gay ass wookie with a hipster mustache. Tzizvvt will never get a figure at this rate. And also why cant they reveal the other two retro figures already. Fuck, hasbro is so retarded
>>11673672Im mainly buying it for arliel. I like the new garindan and labria but again i already have them as figures. Chalmun just does nothing for me
>>11673681I guess they meant never done in TVC, but yeah it's an underwhelming set
Geobros, we eatin good this year
apparently the 4 pack figures aren't cardedwhy is Hasbro so fucking stupidthe only reason I would conceivably want a Chalmun is if he came on a cardback with the Ralph McQuarrie art he originated from
>>11673545Star Wars is running on fumes until next year's 50th anniversary. Then a whole fuckload of vintage and vintage-inspired stuff is expected.
>>11673742Is that why theyve held off on releasing the imperial dignitary for the last 5 years? Just so they could jerk themselves off with a 50th anniversary release? How retarded
>>11673547I have a theory that the "Actionverse" branding is Hasbro getting ready to launch their own line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures. The figures come with weapons racks very similar to Playmates TMNT, and Viacom recently did not renew the license with them, because another toy company offered Viacom more money.
>>11673545Thanks for starting the new thread. Was feeling like shit the last few days so I didn't get around to it
>cantina patrons 4 pack>2 of the characters aren't even seen in the cantina in ep 4>3 if you count the special edition
the soft goods on starkiller were already so bad but that giant white tag is just kekaroo
>WattoI remember yakface posting something about how practically no one bought Sebulba. So I don't know why they are doing more background aliens in 6 inch. If they want to do more funny aliens, at least do Greez from Jedi Survivor who people would be likely to buy to complete the Mantis crew>Taun WeLooks nice but makes for a pretty boring figure I think. Mainly useful for the toy photography people but they probably already have a 3D printed version. I'd say this would be better in TVC but I think the saga collection version is fine and you can still get it fairly cheap>GeonosianThis one is good>lord Starkillerultimately I don't care but he looks pretty bad to me. Are Starkiller fans actually happy with this?
>>11673746One thing learned abut Hasbro with collecting GI Joe is their insistence on making money by means to keeping you waiting. "YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT YOU REALLY DON'T WANT IF YOU WANT US TO MAYBE MAKE WHAT YOU'RE REALLY WANTING A YEAR OR SO DOWN THE ROAD" is that business strategy. It's their way of making a line last longer before it runs out of good stuff to produce. And it's bullshit. The Firebat and Skyhawk should have been made years ago, but we're year-6 into the line with them nowhere to be found or even any whispers and rumors of them coming any time soon. And they clearly do shit like that with Star Wars with "I know you want this BUT you gotta buy all of this other shit you don't want first."
>>11673836I hate that youre right. And honestly i dont even buy into it by buying shit i dont want either, if anything its hasbro who loses more money from me by not making the stuff i want when it should have been made. It does irritate the fuck out of me, it also reminds me of mattel who keep putting off MOTU origins two bad for no good fucking reason
>>11673868It's been that way with Star Wars for a long time. Back in 1980 with Empire Strikes Back, Kenner did NOT release Luke Hoth with the rest of the Hoth releases. They knew kids were waiting on that one, so they kept kids waiting while shoveling other figures in their faces for kids to buy while waiting. They held that one back until late 1982 towards the end of the Empire run when they had begun working on ROTJ stuff.
>>11673825And I'm fine with it either way. Never would have expected them to make a fucking Chalmun figure. They can keep releasing 4 packs like this every year to cover the rest of the Cantina and I'll buy every one. They should do the same with Jabba's palace too.
>>11673891>They can keep releasing 4 packs like this every year to cover the rest of the Cantina and I'll buy every one. They should do the same with Jabba's palace too.You know they wont tho. This was their only chance to make a good cantina set and they fill it with two already made characters and some glorified donut steel OC that looks stupid. Arliel is the only one i really wanted out of this
>>11673894>some glorified donut steel OC that looks stupid.He's literally based on McQuarrie's art...
omg... i'm gonna... McQuoom...
>>11673776Idiot
>>11673825Can't even write Mos Eisley properly... people at Hasbro are so bad
>TPM Watto>AOTC packaging
>>11674019Wait doesnt AOTC watto have one of those kippahs on?
>>11674019Lol that's definitely an odd choice to make. What are they going to do for a TPM release then? Give him the hat, vest and extra facial hair he should have for this figure?
>>11674019They've given up
>>11673911Okay and? There’s still plenty of characters that were actually in the movie we should’ve gotten before this.
>>11674080Like who?
>>11674080And so he's not a glorified OC you idiot. Hasbro didn't make him up.
>>11674110nta but he kind of is a glorified OCsome West End Games writer made him up in one of the Galaxy Guides
>>11673833Nigga why the fuck are Starkiller's lightsabers all red, give him a bunch of crazy colors like he could use in the game.
>>11674112He's still a canon character
>>11674117so's Rose Tico
>>11674118Yes. Shitty characters can still be characters.
>>11673891Except they’re most likely not. This was the last set to fill out the cantina and we got 2 characters who weren’t even onscreen in the cantina.
don'ta getta me wrongo i'm a glup shitto enjoyer (still want jaxxon in tvc) but this was a dumb inclusion in the 4 packwould've been better off as a convention or pulse exclusive, or even as a tier in the haslab
>>11674123One of them was literally the last tier for the Haslab, they just didn't get enough to unlock it
>>11674130yes, but that’s not the figure everyone is complaining about
>>11674123Well it technically is a Pulse exclusive
>>11673729The fact that they were willing to make a TBS Taun We of all people gives me hope that these parts are getting reused for a TBS Poggle
>>11674134You’re so fucking stupid
>>11673681No what Emily said was they were not going to be re-releases/repacks of previously done things, so that's accurate. But I want Tzizvvt as much as you Anon. I'm sure we'll get him one day. Never thought we'd have Arleil or Taym Dren-garen in the line either but here we are.>>11673729Don't really collect TBS anymore but I'm gonna have to get a few of these for Delta Squad to kill.>>11674158I'm pretty sure that's the plan since that's how it seems to be going in TVC. The lower half of Poggle is definitely going to be reused for the Geonosian they teased with the blaster.
>>11674173Doesn't make me wrong though.
Say what you will about BoBF, it was pretty awful, but I do like his design in that show.
>>11673833>ayysfuck yeah>dark side ending starkillerfuck yeah
The line is such a jumbled mess
>>11674249His design was great. I want to see him in it again but acting like how the character is supposed to
Posted Grievous in the shf thread but guess I'll post here too. He is okay. I don't have the black series anymore, I sold it when this was announced but it's hard to say which is better. Both have issues standing, which was the one thing I needed them to get right on the shf... But I guess it is still a little bit better in that department due to the harder plastic. Paint apps are very nice too. Price was crazy though I try not to think about it... Also hip joints are terrible. So can't say I would strongly urge anyone to go for this over the $35 black series which I think does the job
>>11674249No thigh and bicep armor looks pretty ugly. They should of added those 2 to improve the look.
>>11674249Hate the design, changing an iconic character just so you can sell le black variant is pathetic.
>>11674304To be fair I'm kind of a sucker for Mandos. Always have. I just dig their armor. Same with Clones. I have a nice little coven of Mandos at this point.
>>11674115Agreed. If they make all his outfits they need to come with different colors and the unstable wavy ones. If they do jedi adventure outfit he better have the black saber
>>11674277What about size? Because I have to slightly mod my BS Grievous to make him taller, I think it's a nice figure just too small
>>11673825That Wookiee is retarded.
he's covered in hair and lives on a planet with two sunswhy is he also wearing clothes over his fur
>>11674428Would you want to go to a bar where the owner walks around nude?
>>11674473hey some of us pay extra for that
>>11674342
>>11674342How do you mod the black series to be taller?>>11674713I think shf Kenobi is a little shorter than the black series. So naturally shf Grievous probably scales better with other shfs and is a little short next to black seriesI just took this pic. Obviously with legs straight he’d be taller but I think in a crouching pose he looks a bit small. It doesn’t bother me that much though
speaking of grievous, isn't the 1/12 model kit the best one in terms of scale? iirc i heard people talking about that a while ago
>>11674504
>>11675013Yeah, the Bandai kit scales perfectly with TBS
Cool
>>11675535oh wow more disney shit
>>11673545It really warms my heart to see the other anons here have the same or similar complaints to the new cantina multi pack as i had. You guys are alright
>>11675769What, that it's a tasteless release that proves the team has no idea what they're doing?
>>11675770Yeah exactly. I was hyped up for it for fucking months and its so underwhelming. Ill still get it for arliel but fuck man if i wanted different choices for the other characters in the set. Theres just a catharsis in seeing others online having the same issues that i do with it
>>11675535That's a cool poncho>>11674794>How do you mod the black series to be taller?Just cut here and insert green stuff, paint like the surround area and it will be taller. Mine is the Clone Wars version so it's easier to paint and yes, he will look a little weird and lankier but again it works in the Clone Wars version. I also advise to drill a hole on each side you cut, so you can put a little wire inside the green stuff, let a bit extra on each side and then superglue the inside these holes for a studier connection. I do this to all my customs and after the glue is set it's pretty fucking hard to take apart.
>>11673833>Taun WeFinally some good fucking food.
>>11673545I got TVC dengar in the mail today. I meant to get him months ago but he fell off my radar and when i finally remembered to check again he was on sale on amazon. I had this sculpt when it was first released in 2010 when i was a kid and i gotta say i forgot how much i hated his removable codpiece which flys off at a moments notice. Otherwise its kinda cool and nostalgic to get a reissue of a figure i havent had in like ten years
>>11676089The launching diaper action feature is so annoying.
>>11676144>The launching diaper action feature is so annoying.Its so fucking dumb. I get this figure was from a time period where hasbro had this impulsive need to make everything fucking removable but its still annoying. Its just like that TVC C-3PO from the same wave as dengar who needlessly has alot of his plating come off for no good reason. I hate it so much
>>11676156I was glad to see the reissue since I needed him and the original release was just too expensive for what it is, but after getting it in hand I just wish they would have made an all new one. The armor and backpack pop off too easily, the articulation is so fucking outdated, and I don't know if this is a common issue with this newer one but mine has warped feet and knees that make his legs go out like this ) ( so I can't even get him to stand up straight just have to lean him up against something. I've tried heating and resetting but they just go back to that position as if it was molded that way.
>Disney is moving away from Sequel shit at the theme park, Kylo Ren is being disappeared and Rey will barely exist in anythingLol
>>11676172>replaced with endless mando slopWhen will they realize it's time to move away from mando too? It's basically the new sequels. baby yoda, hagsoka, boba fat, and AI Luke are the new peg warmer lame characters that no one likes
>>11676170No my dengars feet have the same issue. I think its just the sculpt. I actually prefer alot of the sculpts from that era but the exploding crotch piece really pisses me off>>11676172>>Disney is moving away from Sequel shit at the theme park,Source? Big if true. It was a huge fucking mistake to make that park sequel themed in the first place
>>11676186Baby yoda is objectively very popular still, i like ahsoka and boba fett still their shows just need better writers especially in boba fetts case. And yeah digital luke is retarded they shouldve just recasted mark hamill with a younger actor
>>11676187>https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-galaxys-edge-disneyland-update
>>11676193>Baby yoda is objectively very popular stillIs he? When was the last time you saw him in any memes or anything? He hasn't been culturally relevant in a couple years people have moved on. The movie is probably going to flop too
>>11676193Not to mention the next film, the first one in seven years, is The Mandalorian based. It would be stupid to just gloss over it at the park.
>>11676200People audibly cheered when the trailer played at my theater. It was practically crickets when the Avengers one came on. I for sure expected it to be the complete opposite.
>>11676210Avengers doomsday has such awful behind the scenes production allegedly that i cant imagine it not turning out to be a massive fucking train wreck. On the other hand Im legit excited for mandalorian and baby yeed movie.
>>11674249>none of the BOB figures have an accurate shaped helmetTook Hasbro forever to release it and they still didn't bother getting it right.
>>11676242I want an explanation as to why his helmet completely changed shape between The Mandalorian and BOBF. Does he just have a bunch of spares on board the Slave I that he hammers identical dents into?
>>11676253I just want an explanation on how that helmet hermetically seals whenever it's put on.
>>11676253I might be an idiot but what do you mean?
>>11676282I don't think you're an idiot, you might just be blind. His Mando helmet is closer to the shape of the original helmet from the OT, with a shorter top and a bottom that flares out wider than the rest. The BOBF helmet is smaller all around and has a more uniform shape as if it put in a vice and squished. Yet canonically these are supposed to be the exact same helmet.
>>11676186likely never since it was their first success with any actual staying powertoo bad that they blew their load in terms of writing quality in the first three episodes and the rest of it was a slow decline into filoni slop
>>11676253>>11676293it doesn't make sense that disney cheaps out with this kind of stuffit's not as bad as the grand inquisitor in kenobi being just a dude with white face paint instead of a pau'an, but you'd think with the potential to make a shit ton of money they'd put in a little more effort to appeal to the autists who would actually buy all the shit they produce the simple answer is they probably fired all the masters that worked on the lucas films during the buyout and replaced them with useless diversity hires
>>11673729No one asked for this....
>>11676353Geonosians are cool STFU
>>11676253Remember how beskar was supposed to be rare and hard to obtain in the disney era but somehow Boba found an extra kneepad, jetpack and I guess helmet? I thought the point was that he was supposed to be wearing Jango’s armor repainted but they really ship of theseus’d it
>>11676235>Im legit excited for mandalorian and baby yeed movieYou suck
The more I look at the cantina 4-back, the more my favorite character is starting to be Chalmun (sorry Arleil and Arleil fans). But, I am noticing that Chalmun isn’t getting a warm reception amongst the community, and I get it. He doesn’t show up in the movie at all, and if you’re wanting to stick to recreating the cantina scene then he really has no place to go. Bret from Banthaskull said it best, as he really feels like a figure from the 2008 time, when Hasbro was throwing out obscure characters galore. And so that makes him a bit of a strange duck, if you will.See, for me Chalmun is a perfect character for play. Canonically he had quite a fun past, and so him leaving the bar to go on space fairing adventures for a bit is perfect for him. Maybe he shows up with some rebels? Maybe he is breaking down Jabba’s door because the hutt owes him money. With his wickedly cool looks, the possibilities are endless! But, the downside is unlike, say, Osho who was released on card back and can do everything I said above, Chalmun is in a four pack, and thus takes up space from another character who might have needed it. Ya know, someone who actually was at the cantina. Such as BoShek or Hem. And maybe Chalmun’s inclusion wouldn’t have stung some collectors as much if we had an inkling on if any more cantina patrons would be made.So, while I do get the backlash (if it could even be called that) of Chalmun, I’m still excited for him. Also any wookiee who has a stache as glorious as his can’t be all bad in my book.
>>11676253something, something, focal length
>>11676389He was a total left field pick and that's why I'm excited to get him. Ralph McQuarrie is one of my art heroes as well so I love any figure that's a direct reference to him. I totally get people being mad at his inclusion in the set but some of that blame definitely falls on Hasbro's shoulders. I think if they had communicated better that there was going to be a big surprise in it that nobody would have predicted (I think Mr. Stevie said only 3 people even mentioned Chalmun in his contest to guess the characters) or that it wasn't necessarily a straight Cantina pack but a Mos Eisley themed one, it would have gone better. And also maybe not go almost six months between the teaser and reveal on the next one, since all that time just gave people way too much room to speculate and get their hopes up.
>>11675535Why would he need goggles.
>>11676389Shut up, shill
>>11676297>too bad that they blew their load in terms of writing quality in the first three episodesThat's because they cannibalized a Boba Fett movie script for their oc donutsteel. Never forget what they took from you.
>>11676470He's not a shill but he did copy and paste the entire post from some guy's in the TVC Facebook group.
>>11676551It was going to be a Josh Trank movie, we dodged a bullet
>>11676624>Josh Trank Seriously? How is that man not blacklisted for fan4stic 2015?
>>11676172I'm pretty sure they have given in and just want to pretend they don't exist. There was a ton of shit that went on with RotS's 20th anniversary last year, and already a bunch of stuff planned for the overall series 50th anniversary next year, but TFA's 10th anniversary was last year and there wasn't even a peep about it.I don't think any toylines have done much sequel shit in ages. The only thing I can think of was LEGO doing a midi scale Kylo Ren shuttle like last year, and they did a remake of the buildable BB8 this year.
>>11676633Fant4stic is literally the reason the Boba Fett movie got canned, not even because of how badly the movie performed but because of how much of a weird asshole Trank was during production. He seriously pissed off Simon Kinberg and that's what led to him being fired from the Boba movie, the movie then going into development hell again, and then ultimately getting cancelled.
>>11676637>There was a ton of shit that went on with RotS's 20th anniversary last year, and already a bunch of stuff planned for the overall series 50th anniversary next year, but TFA's 10th anniversary was last year and there wasn't even a peep about it.That was really funny to me and also cathartic. Its nice to see people turn on even TFA, the only figure i can think of from the sequels last year was a reissue of TFA finn for TVC.>The only thing I can think of was LEGO doing a midi scale Kylo Ren shuttle like last year, and they did a remake of the buildable BB8 this year.And neither even included minifigs if im correct lol>>11676643>Fan4stic is literally the reason the Boba Fett movie got canned, not even because of how badly the movie performed but because of how much of a weird asshole Trank was during production.I heard a bit about this, apparently trank is just an abrasive douche irl who chimps out over the slightest issue. Glad that fuckers career is in the toilet.

>>11676651Based superfan. Just consume product, you plebs.
>>11676651>nooooooo le hack was innocent abloo ablooYour such a crybaby bitch josh
>>11676389Chalmun is great basically an EU figure so that’s nice. I probably would have put a Duros and Bo Shek in the pack for the other slots and someone else for four maybe Hem Dazon. Wonder if they plan to do more because cantina will still be pretty light unless you have older figures
Sounds like the new TBS Jango is total shit. The tubes on the arms and straps on his holsters apparently snap really easily.
>>11676946For the tubes, just rotate his forearm bracer so that they're not stuck behind his elbow and you can get full range of motion without risk of them snapping. As for the straps on his holsters, I haven't heard anything about that, and mine seem fine.
>get Figurarts Grievous in>part already broken on itYay, thanks Bandai.
>>11677145What was broken

KATHLEEN KENNEDY IS OFFICIALLY OUThttps://www.starwars.com/news/lucasfilm-leadership
>>11677209Doomcock is gonna FREAK!
>>11677209The Fandom Menace has won! Weesa Free! This is the dawn of a golden era of star wars for sure.
>>11677209She knew Mando and Grogu was gonna shit up the place
>>11677209>replaced by Filoni>Ahsoka shit, wolf shit and clone wars cameos until the end of timeYes bros! We won!
>>11677221That was unironically my first thought.Star Wars won't get any better (see: >>11677246 ), so I'm just here to buy toys of my fav characters and watch the drama. It's great.
>>11677209>filoni in charge nowso >we got out of the fire just to fall into the hot ashes, great
>>11677209Is Filoni an EU fan? Personally I would love to see shadows of the Empire animated.
>>11677358Filoni raped Thrawn.
I'll take Filoni autism over feminism anyday. Even if Filoni is a feminist, he has been the only one at Lucasfilm to respect Luke and the whole Skywalker legacy.>>11677358Yes. He takes stuff from it and brings it into the nucanon.
>>11677209Great.The franchise is still raped dead and gay.
>>11677209He's not even that good either. It's dead jimbo.
Boshek deez nuts
>>11677209too bad everyone else there is also an insane leftist
>>11677406Dice Ibegon muh balls
>>11677358he's a 'fan' in the sense that he takes stuff from the eu and adds it into his showshe's a little bitch because everything he brings in is either changed for the worse or jobs to his super special oc's
>>11677384>been the only one at Lucasfilm to respect Luke>turns Luke into a cold unfeeling robot that prohibits his Jedi from forming attachments, repeating the same mistake of the old Jedi order >gives a life changing ultimatum to a literal baby>sends that baby alone into an active gang war Filoni’s BOBF episode was disgusting and he ruined Luke again
>>11677487>>turns Luke into a cold unfeeling robot that prohibits his Jedi from forming attachments, repeating the same mistake of the old Jedi orderThat's what Lucas would have done too.
>>11677513Yeah a lot of people forget that the "Luke loses all of his students and becomes a mopey hermit" idea came directly from Lucas
>>11677543The cause of Doomer Luke in George's outlines aren't entirely clear.Talon's role as a Jedi hunter is less efficient then the school shooting since her whole thing seemed to be mostly just picking off young Jedi men through literal seduction to the dark side before properly recruiting the Solo kid.All the stuff about the Whills using the Midichlorians to manipulate everyone from within and feed off the Force raises enough existential questions about free will and whatnot to break ones faith so thoroughly.
>>11677442>Hear me out.
>>11677428So was Lucas. The entirety of the prequel trilogy is basically an extremely unsubtle takedown of Bush era politics. Revenge of the Sith in particular was more or less two and a half hours him just giving the middle finger to the patriot act.
>>11677513No he wouldn't have
>>11677610And the OT was WWII and Vietnam. Deal.
>>11677209Its like when feminist frequency finally ended. Some people were celebrating but some others pointed out the damage was already done by them
>>11677615yeah anti-vietnam
>>11677610>>11677615>>11677680>boomer californian is left wingnext you're going to tell me that water is wet
>>11677706there's an alarming number of people who are convinced lucas was actually conservative and liberal politics in star wars only happened when disney bought it
>>11677754He used to go on and on about that movie he did about the all-black WWII dogfighter pilots.
>>11677754i think george is based for a couple reasons but i go out of my way to not care about his personal politics him only taking about them somewhat in interviews also helps, he's not shitting on xitter every day like far too many other directors and actors
Sneed
>>11677754George is liberal but the good kind of liberal not the feminist SJW that cunt KK was
>>11677876>the good kind of liberalthere's no such thing
>>11677765Why would that be "woke"?
>>11677765Yeh, talking about something that actually happened is a little different than like Rose Tico backlash.
So... Toys?
>>11678099Wanna talk about how minority action figures don't sell very well?
>>11678106Who cares? This board focuses way too much on the shit that rustles their jimmies instead of just focusing on the things they enjoy. I have been enjoying the new Jango, despite people complaining about his tubes and what not. How bout you? What toys have you gotten recently that you're enjoying?
>>11678099>toys?>in the toy board?
>>11678136>I have been enjoying the new JangoShill
I am kind of itching for a new black series figure but there's not really anything on the horizon that I am interested in. I'm not even sure what I would be interested by desu. Kinda crazy that a franchise with 50 years worth of content has not produced more than I handful of characters I actually like or care about. Pretty much everything in the last 13 years has been worthless. The next decade of Star Wars content should primarily be chronological in a new era so people can actually get invested in the characters and stories so it's not just more fast food type slop. But the latter is definitely what they will keep doing, more jumping around the "skywalker saga" timeline throwing random shit and hoping something sticks
I like how Vintage shit is pegwarming like never before. Nobody wants to drop $20 on these figures.

>>11678136>What toys have you gotten recently that you're enjoying?I know nothing about the thing it's based off of but I recently got the Konoke Link MDLX Dango. It's a cool little robot guy.
>>11678219Stop being such a crybaby
>>11677611He absolutely would have. He didn't want Luke getting married and having kids either. Prequelfags read things into the prequels that Lucas never intended. Monastic dedication was part of Lucas's vision for Jedi, period. Luke included.
i keep seeing that the new jango black series parts' snap easy, has this happened to anyone yet? i am afraid to move this dude
>>11678351I can see the straps for his holsters snapping if you're crazy but as long as you're not stupid and wildly bending his limbs, you'll be fine. As for the tubes, just rotate them to the side of his arms like you do on every other Mando that has tubes. Not sure why everyone is making a big deal out of the tubes when they've been like this since the first Boba.
>>11677680It's kinda funny how so many people like the Empire when they're clearly supposed to be Nazi bastards.
>>11676253I recall something about it fitting his head shape better, kek.
>>11678365Pattern recognition.
>>11678365The bad guys look the coolest have the coolest looking shit. This is true for a lot of franchises.
>>11678350Keep crying because you're forever wrong.
>>11678365I don't think there's anything wrong with liking the Empire, but there are weirdos out there who will get into heated arguments about how the Empire are the real good guys and how everything they do is actually justified and how sick they are of the Empire being depicted as evil
>>11678687Nope.
>>11673545remember this toy?https://www.tiktok.com/@sonyaking8835/video/7595709046016036114
>>11678365What >>11678685 said, they look the coolest. Honestly the rebellion/resistance is the lamest faction in star wars IMO and i hate how much the losers at disney wank them. My favorite factions are usually bad guys and the CIS and the criminal underworld element and the empire are like the coolest characters in star wars. The coolest good guys are the clones tho
>>11678727> I don't think there's anything wrong with liking the Empire, but there are weirdos out there who will get into heated arguments about how the Empire are the real good guys and how everything they do is actually justified and how sick they are of the Empire being depicted as evilI agree, but its even worse in the warhammer 40k fandom with space marine stans and imperium apologists literally trying to justify all of the harsh awfulness of the imperiums actions and xenophobia and some will literally get mad at you for preferring another xeno faction to the space marines. This has happened to me multiple times before online
>trying to impose real world ideologies on fictional bad guys so you can hate anyone who likes them.What is wrong with you faggots? Why can't you keep politics out of anything?
>>11678983I said i liked the empire and that the rebellion was lame goddamnit, the issue is that 40k niggas cant keep their own extremist politics out of their own franchise. I wouldnt hate space marine fags if they werent so fucking obnoxious and ruined my enjoyment of 40k by literally screeching like harpies at me because i said my favorite faction were the orks
>>11678983The Empire wears German Nazi Stahlhelm helmets. If you can't see what Geogre was trying to do maybe Star Wars is too advanced for you.
>>11679034I get what they were based off. I'm not dense. But implying people who like the bad guys in Star Wars are literal Nazis is pants on head retarded. Not everything has to be related to politics.
>>11679035Ok, that maybe doesn't happen with Star Wars, but some people are weirdly apologetic to those factions, like the Warhammer thing that's been mentioned. I've also seen it with Hydra from Marvel.
>>11679041Stop going out of your way to try and find things to get upset at. I promise you that you'll be a happier person because of it.
>>11679043Who says I'm letting it bother me and getting upset about it? I'm just pointing out a trend I've noticed. You're the one getting defensive about it.
>>11678983The movies are political by nature.
>>11678983So wait, movies have to never have any political subtext? Do you know how boring that would be?
>>11679049The fact that you've been discussing it for literally days now kind of gives off that vibe. Imagine getting your panties wadded over the bad guys in a fictional universe no one is forcing you to consume.>>11679053Sure, but it's still stupid to impose real world ideologies onto fictional factions. It's like you guys are begging Disney to make a show about the Empire going after space Jews, just so you can kevetch about it online.>>11679056Less boring than the prequels that's for sure.
>>11679063The prequels aren't boring at all. Check your autism.
>>11679066The irony of this post.
>>11679066lol, lmao even
>>11679069>>11679070Samefag
hey guys, Dave here*tips cowboy hat*questions, comments, concerns?
>>11679063Phantom Menace has a dysfunctional democracy (Naboo/Weimar Germany) where a leader (Palpatine/Hitler) gains power legally by exploiting crisis and gridlock. Phantom Menace is about how democracies collapse legally, through fear, bureaucracy and complacency rather than coups. It's probably the most political out of all the Star Wars movies.
>>11679222Can you stop shoehorning shitty cameos into everything? And realize that fan service flashbacks =/= good writing? Also post wall Ahsoka is a dogshit character
>>11679245Also, the Trade Federation is a lot like the East India Company or modern mega corporations with state privileges, now that I think of it.
>>11676196Wow it only took an additional six years after RoS to make them realize nobody likes their take on sw…
>>11679245>>11679256Sure that's all well and good, but getting upset at people just because they like a fictional faction from a movie is stupid. Just saying.
>>11679070>>11679069Gay retards
>>11676196>www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-galaxys-edge-disneyland-updateWhat about the time paradox though? :/
I don't think anyone's actually getting upset that people like the Empire, if anything we're annoyed by the dudes who insist the Empire are actually the good guys and will get really, really mad if you try to tell them otherwise
>>11679260It's telling that they didn't do anything for TFA's anniversary, and that's the one movie from the ST that still has any goodwill at all
>>11679283Characters operate in different parts of the land based on their time period and with Kylo Ren trading places with Vader and moving to Tomorrowland, Rey will be the only sequel character still around and is restricted to the immediate area around the Resistance ride.
>>11679301I cut people off that liked TFA
>>11679301>>11679312Feels good to be vindicated about TFA, everyone gushed about that movie when it came out but I thought it was dull and unimaginative and it felt like those of us that didn't like it would get shouted down with YOU MUST LOVE JAR JAR THIS IS REAL STAR WARS UNLIKE THE SUCKY PREQUELS STAR WARS IS BACK
>>11679304>Kylo Ren trading places with Vader and moving to TomorrowlandWait, what?
TFA wasn't terrible, but it was a definite retread of A New Hope. It seems like a lot of people just ignored that at the time.
>>11679327Tomorrowland at Disneyland still has their Star Wars Launch Bay meet and greet thing.
>>11679328They did. Even in the leadup to the movie it was becoming increasingly obvious that the movie was just going to repeat ANH. It turns out the problem with the Episode 1 wasn't that the story was boring, or that the acting and dialogue were awful, it was just that it weren't pandering to nostalgia. TFA gave them that, they got X-Wings and TIEs and the Falcon and Chewie and that was all they needed to proclaim it the best thing ever made.
>>11679328TFA is not terrible if you just like consooming movies. If you care about Star Wars it is terrible.
>>11679337Yeah, this. As a two hour popcorn movie it's fine. As a Star Wars movie it basically shits on the OT in order to just do the exact same thing over again because Abrams could not think of how to do a Star Wars movie except to just repeat what was done before and often without understanding why it worked in the first place. He did the same with his Star Trek movies, he tried to do his own reversed version of the Spock death scene from Wrath of Khan but completely failed to understand why that scene was so impactful and why it doesn't work in a rebooted universe where Spock and Kirk barely know or like each other.
>>11679322>everyone gushedI felt that way for about the first 1/4 of the film, then it slowly descended into>dull and unimaginativeI became less and less impressed and then began hating it. I was completely checked out by the time they did Han’s stupid death that was contractually obligated by Harrison Ford, that old, ungrateful twat of a man.> it felt like those of us that didn't like it would get shouted down with YOU MUST LOVE JAR JAR THIS IS REAL STAR WARS UNLIKE THE SUCKY PREQUELS STAR WARS IS BACKYou got to hand it to Disney on the marketing-PR front: they knew exactly how to pander to soibeard millennial men and how to get them on their side when the critiques started. Whoever was in charge of that part of their business really understood the psychology of low-test, media-marinated men who had adopted RLM Star Wars critiques as a facet of their personalities and were desperate enough for pussy they’d defend any social phenomenon that could be meme’d into popularity with women.
>>11679337That's pretty elitist of you to say, ngl. As if the people who think TFA is merely alright are plebs or something and not a "true" fan, whatever that is.
>>11679356They are plebs. How can you watch an inferior remake of a classic film and not be somewhat insulted? I mean, it wasn’t even tongue-in-cheek like Home Alone 2, for example. It felt like every other Abram’s film: things happened—and fast!—but nothing mattered.
>>11679354I remember they had Mark Hamill narrate going REAL PRACTICAL EFFECTS and how much they hyped that BB-8 would be an actual physical puppet that could be operated remotely, only for it to turn out that the puppet couldn't do half the shit they needed to so most of his scenes he's either supported by a puppeteer that had to be digitally erased or just outright CGI
>>11679349Couldn’t have said it better. He ruined Trek.
>>11679354>Harrison Ford, that old, ungrateful twat of a man.Hey, Ford has paid his dues and then some.
>>11679301Honestly I didn't expect anything new from Hasbro but I figured they'd at least re-release some of the older TBS/TVC figures with faceprint or something. It's really weird that they didn't do anything at all.
>>11679283>>11679297I've never encountered someone like this in my thirty six years of life.
>>11679370You're very lucky then
>>11679375I'm not unconvinced that you didn't just invent this scenario in your own head just so you could get mad at it.
>>11679360This is what pissed me off the most going in to the movie. This whole thing. And then all the practical effects sucked. That stupid pecking bird on Jakku looked so bad. ALL the anomatronics were awful and felt like low budget trash. Which made no sense because the tech has come so far.
>>11679376nta I've heard of that as well. It's usually the "might makes right" people.
>>11679378nta I couldn't stop hearing about that stupid muffin thing and how they had so much trouble with that and how making that work was supposed to be a big deal or something.
>>11679378I remember the DVD extras for ROTS highlighted some of the improved animatronics, like the one for Meena Tills that was a huge improvement over Ackbar. Tills had actual believable mouth movements instead of just a flapping mouth, sadly she's barely in the movie and is never shown talking but you could at least tell how proud the designers were. Then comes TFA and Ackbar's a flapping mouth again.They did this with Yoda in TLJ, I get that they wanted him to look like the ESB puppet for nostalgia's sake but after so many years of seeing Yoda with an expressive CGI face it was distracting to see him as a basic muppet again in 2017. There was nothing stopping them from making a practical puppet that has a better facial range.
>>11679389>actual believable mouth movements>never shown talking
>>11679360Its possible they had initially intended to do full practical effects, and then later fucked it all over either because the practical effects were a bit more difficult than they initially assumed, or some higher up wanted them changed.I'm reminded of the 2011 sequel to "The Thing" where they had the entire movie done and filmed using practical effects, and then super late into production they decided to paste CGI over all of them and everyone unanimously agreed the practical effects were better anyway. And there wasn't even a real reason they went with the CGI since the actual filming with practical effects was already completed.
>>11674249>>11676242They fumbled the BoBF figure so bad, I just don't get how they took a step back with the weathering - it was on the Mando version...but at the same time I can also understand it, because they are Hasbro with the usual ASS quality but it just feels worse recently. I was gonna let it slide a bit, then I saw a video review on how the neck was also too long, making his head poke out like an ostrich, I just finally said screw it and canceled my pre-order. The new Jango on the other hand turned out decent, but it still has its own issues, like the fuel tubes on his right arm pretty much at breaking point if you attempt to bend it 90 degrees. This is my last Black Series I think, I'm outta space anyway and I'm just tired of their paint apps getting worse and worse.>>11676253Highly doubt its an in universe thing and more of a irl production thing. I think they mentioned the one in Mando was based on the actual prop so its literally not form fitting for Temuera Morrison. It also probably explains why the armor looked so awfully wrong on him and making him look fat as fuck in some scenes in the Mando show. I think the one in Book of Boba, including the rest of the armor was actually tailored to fit his head and body which probably explains the change. >>11676946Not total shit, but Hasbro keeps fucking up recently, and this renders his arm basically un-posable unless you wanna risk it. The left one is fine and has enough give on the tubes to bend though for some weird ass reason.>>11676952This trick works on the TBS ROTJ Boba which almost had the same issue, but I tried it on this Jango, it still stretches it too fucking much.
>>11679415pretty sure he means you can see it in the dvd extras
>>11679418Apparently they added this extra piece to the helmet that makes it sit higher than usual, for some bizarre reason.
>>11677209Disney ran Star Wars to the ground, I doubt this changes anything, even if she's gone. What is it, like 14 years now? It's too late.
>>11679422Yeah I saw that. I hate the idea of having to mutilate figures to fix them, especially after paying a good amount of cash for it. idk, that figure has too many issues for me to justify a purchase.
>>11676364Did he? I mean it was not totally lost. The Jawas stole it, then Cobb Vanth got it from them, handed it to Mando, and then Boba retrieved it from Mando's ship when they were attacked by stormtroopers. I thought it was assumed he just repainted everything...
>>11679443It's possible not all of it is the original Jango armor. As it is, Jango's helmet dent is different from Boba's.
>>11679454I think the other explanation I read somewhere is that Jango had spares and that's what Boba used (the stuff he is wearing in the OT). I don't know if this is true or not though.
>>11679454Boba hid a bomb inside Jango's helmet in TCW to try to kill Mace Windu, so I assume that's supposed to be what happened to the original. Then again now that we know it was supposed to be beskar I'm not sure how a simple bomb can destroy it, so maybe that was a replica? Either way yeah, I don't think Boba's helmet is literally the same one Jango had.
>>11679458>>11679467Filoni talked about this during the TCW behind the scenes stuff, the original idea was that Boba would kill off Death Watch guys over the years and take armor pieces off of them, so he'd have several extras. This was years before The Mandalorian introduced the idea that Jango's armor had a chain code that identified it as specifically his, so I don't know how much of that is still being taken into consideration. Maybe he preferred to wear his dad's armor but still kept extras just in case?
>>11676952Alright, I take it back, this old trick still works, it was tight so I thought I couldn't rotate the gauntlet further. Still need to be ultra careful with these though, they seem so crispy.
>>11679378I like practical effects more but the issue is alot of the new aliens designs sucked ass
>>11679356Anyone who doesn't understand why TFA does not work in universe and how it actually ruins lore and characters, isn't a true fan. It is basically the opposite of the PT. People who just want to consoom popcorn movies hate the PT but true Star Wars fans recognize how it enriches the canon.
>>11679378It was nostalgia slop for people like picrel.
>>11679443Cobb only had one kneepad when Boba arrives on Morak with the repainted armor he has two>>11679467I don't think beskar was super strong lightsaber resistant material like cortosis before mandalorian
>>11679543It's kinda like the Star Trek thing. How can you make an actual human look interesting with practical effects?
>>11679579Mick Jagger?
>>11679579>>11679624It's like if Mick Jagger and pre-surgery Michael Jackson did a fusion dance
>>11679543the issue with the st designs is that they were designed so the actor in the suit could see through the mask, which lead to flat nose/ wide set eyes being the defining feature for effectively all of themeven the wrinkly cg ones had the same issue this is contrasted with the pt where a lot of them were technicolour humans with funny headgear (with some actually fantastical designs thrown in because lucas let his team go wild with the designs + cgi)and then ot aliens which for the most part were bootleg haloween costumes and puppets the latter two were only held back by the technology available, which is why there was a wide variety, while the st aliens were held back by a committee of suits
>>11679579BROWN SUGAR
>>11679579Looks like a figure based on a weird anime adaptation
>>11679647I don't think there were any rodians in the sequels were there? I hated how they ignored the most common races out there.
>>11679773Yeah it feels weird to see Rodians, Nikto, Quarren, etc all over the place and then they're just strangely absent for the entire trilogy. For some reason Abednedos became the go-to background filler alien, which especially sucks because they're one of my least favorite alien designs in the entire franchise.
>>11679773>>11679795I recently started playing Outlaws because it was cheap enough on sale to try it out. I gotta say, one of the best things about that game is that they didn't throw in any sequel trilogy aliens. Every world is mostly filled with OT species like Rodians, Ithorians, Weequays, Mon Cals, and Twi'leks. And then there are the Pantorans and Zabraks along with the droids to represent the prequels. Really the only thing from the Disney era are the Melitto, which are probably one of the better species to come out from them.
>>11678983Bro, do NOT google a guy called George Lucas and his opinions on Star Wars. Worst mistake of my life.
>>11679773no, the primary aliens we see in the sequels are new to the sequels the only returning ayys we see are ones that were likely mandated to return, so chewbacca, ackbar, and yoda iirc they came up with some bullshit excuse along the lines of 'the first order genocided all the other aliens but left the buttfuck ugly looking ones for some reason'
>>11679376He absolutely did.
>tfw the chink lego bootleg has more hands than any BS/TVC figure
Semi-related but I have seen people over the years who are upset that there's so few "hero from the Empire" stories where it's told from the POV of someone who believes in the Empire and either doesn't realize how evil it is or thinks that the ends justify the means. I remember a lot of people complaining that they didn't do this with the main character from Battlefront who eventually left after realizing how bad it was.
>>11680230We had Crimson Empire and the Baron Fel one shot that spun off from the X-Wing series back in the old EU. I liked that there weren't too many stories about "heroic" Imperials. It would have become overplayed, like the evil scientist that is experimenting on Xenomorphs scenario that plagued the Dark Horse Aliens comics in the 90s.
>>11680230>>11680247Did anyone read that story of a Stormtrooper that found Yoda on Dagobah? How did that play out?
>>11680247They also did a comic that was straight up James Bond as an Imperial agent. I read it years ago barely remember anything about it though beyond "it's James Bond as an Imperial agent."
>>11680251I'd never heard of it, and the only thing I can find is an AI YouTube video about TK-421 (one of the Stormtroopers that Luke and Han steal the armor off aboard the Death Star) going to Dagobah and finding Yoda, but since it was AI I immediately stopped watching it. Here it is if you want, but even the story seems to be written by AI, so don't expect it to be good.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PjK1sWRkETY>>11680254This one? I don't think I read it. I kind of dropped EU books and comics after Clone Wars retconned the Karen Travis Mandalorian lore. It's written by John Ostrander, so it might be decent.https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Agent_of_the_Empire
>>11680266Yeah, that's the one. I don't remember it being bad but given I don't remember much of anything about it at all I guess it just wasn't memorable.
>>11680251>>11680266>reads up on DagobahWait, Dagobah is able to cloud the Dark Side or something? How does that work?
>makes a $500 dollar Cantina>rerelease easy releases>make 1 new character from it, 1 offscreen and 1 not from the cantina>2 new cantina characters in the mainline in the last decadeWhy would anyone buy this cantina?To fill it with janky looking old figures? Where are the new mainline ones?
Is there a good alternative to Ventress' lightsabers in 3.75? I recently opened the new one and I don't like how chunky the hilts are. Both aesthetically and also because the size and shape of her hands make it really hard to get a good grip on them so the left one keeps falling out.
>>11680467Either get an old Ventress figure which will be very expensive or try to find 3d printed ones on Etsy>>11680457Yeah it's kind of a weird situation. Realistically they were never going to make a bunch of mainline figures to populate the cantina because they will be peg warmers. The boomer backers might at least have the janky old ones to fill it out but new collectors are kind of out of luck. I still think making the entire cantina was unnecessary and one booth and portion of the bar in a smaller retail set would have sufficed
>>11680457>>11680512Honestly I think outside of a handful of POTF2 figures most of the cantina figures still hold up. I'd definitely like updated ones but if the old Muftak is the only one we ever get I'd be fine with it.
>>11679568Yeah, Beskar being nigh indestructible seems to be a retcon intorduced in Mandolorian. We see plenty of times in TCW and Rebels where Mandos go down to lightsabers and regular blaster fire.
>>11680512Yeah I looked at old ones but they seem to be kind of fat too and the price isn't worth it. The Genndy based figure seems like the size would be better but the design is completely different which is bothersome. I checked Etsy and found a store that has a bunch of hilts, including hers, but he only offers them in 1:12.
>>11680639Some sellers will print in 1:18 if you ask. Honestly I’d just try to live with it I don’t think it’s worth the expense and effort to try to get better hilts
>>11676463 Probably a leftover from the Imperial Army / Mudtrooper days. Also might be additional magnification aid or environmental protection to shield optics from flying pebbles, sand, atmosphere. - it's called imagination. Or you can take them off.
>>11677543 So is "tiny microbe world"
>>11677765 Which honestly wasn't as good as The Tuskegee Airmen movie. - Maybe he should have don a Marvel Red, Black, and Blue movie instead.
>>11678365 They could probably use it to recruit another 5 k of ICE.
>>11678969 Blame Hugo Boss.
>>11682405>Probably a leftover from the Imperial Army / Mudtrooper days.He's a TK trooper. The first iteration of the Imperial Stormtrooper from when the Empire first took over.
>>11680397i'm pretty sure the life on dagobah is so dense it overloads both sides of the force trying to feel out anything specific and when you land there it's a foggy, muddy bog with no settlements of note yoda and luke were likely only able to meet because both of them wanted to, if yoda didn't want to be found he likely wouldn't be
>>11678970>t.yranid
>>11682445So it makes perfect sense.
>>11682405Mudbs isn't canon
>>11682731 You know, I don't honestly care. My house. my toys. Grist for my imagination.
>>11682731
>>11680397The legends explanation was that Yoda had a force battle with a dark Jedi pretty early into his time there. The end result was the cave being infused with dark side corruption, which also acts as a kind of camouflage that masks force presences.
recanonize me, cowboyhat-sama!
>>11682973cool pic bro!
>>11682973Nice. I love how PC parts can make for interesting electrical doodads.
>>11683003So... the one that doesn't matter anyome. Nah, I'm just messing with you. Thanks for that.
>>11683476someone had a theory the purgill from rebels were Vong scout ships that were gathering info on the galaxy. Imagine if disney star wars was half as cool as the things fans speculate
>>11683539there's no way filoni would do something like that, it requires long term planning and making the villains actually intelligent
>>11683599That's why I hate Filoni. Throughout Rebels, Bad Batch, Mandalorian, Ashoka, I had so many cool theories for all the things they were setting up. But ultimately questions were left unanswered or there was no pay off or it was just an incredibly lame pay off. Filoni NEVER delivers. Like remember the Kaminoan sky facility from bad batch? Complete nothing burger. What were Ezra and Thrawn doing for 10 years outside the galaxy? Maybe something interesting happened and they had to team up to face a new enemy? No literally nothing happened during those 10 years. Who is Marrok? No one, a literal fart in a suit. Is there going to be an epic battle over the darksaber and who gets to be Mandalore? No, Mandi just hands it over to Bo-Katan. It's all so fucking lame. All the abeloth shit they are teasing for Ahsoka season 2 is going to be very disappointing.
>>11683654Don’t forget he just cancelled Ray Park
>>11682973THISenjoy your toys, send them on the adventures that you want
>>11682973You're why Star Wars has fallen so hard
>>11682973Based toy and imaginative play enjoyer
>>11683520 And a humidifier / mister and a bunch of random stuff
>>11683767 Yes, nothing like free thought, personal mythologies and fun to ruin a franchise
>>11683779 thanks
>>11683654i remember the brief period where people though marrok was starkiller and i was really hoping that wasn't the case thankfully it was not, but not even in my wildest dreams did it expect him to be a literal fart in a jarbo katan is such a schizo character, she feels like someone who should've died in tcw but somehow is still alive and has managed to get the mandalorians genocided like 3 times in 30 yearshow she has any followers is beyond me, how none of them have killed her by now is even more nonsensical
>>11683826Like pretty much the only thing the Sequels did right was the generic troopers. The Scarif, Hovertank, Shore, and Sith troopers all look pretty cool.
I hate samefags so much its unreal.
>>11683524Damn kids these days, no respect for history. In all honesty, while my general preference for Star Wars is pre-Disney, I can still enjoy some of the new stuff that comes out. I'm not so nostalgia blind that I can't admit that characters like Maul, Tarkin and Thrawn are all way better characters in the current continuity either.
>>11682973Shitbag
>>11684065 What? No angry shrieks at the Mando? Oh well I just got Cobb so you can cry over that.
Awww look at this little guy. Maybe he should adopt him into the clan.

MOTU's movie looks like it mogs everything Star Wars has been trying to do for the last 10 years. Wtf.

has there been a new TVC Ki-Adi-Mundi teased? i'm trying to decide if i want to buy parts for a custom, or just wait for a new figure
>>11685376Dont quote me on it but i think he was an unreached tier on the republic gunship haslab
>>11685418Ki-Adi wasn't part of the campaign. It was Coleman Trebor, Saesee Tinn, and Agen Kolar.>>11685376He has not been teased yet and YakFace is still only operating on codenames for the TVC Master list. There is another wave scheduled for March according to that, so I imagine in February we'll get another livestream. Honestly if I were you I'd just hold off on that custom for the whole year and just see what we get for the BoG theme.
The wait is killing me, just give me the new greedo. Greedo looks soo cool. Best designed cantina character.3 more months ATGHGHG.
>>11685464I still need to open the one that came with the Cantina and in the Adventure 4 pack
>>11685461Why did yak remove the actual names? When someone asked on ig he pretended not to know what they were talking about
>>11685476I remember that. All I can think is maybe Hasbro talked to him about spoiling shit and since he's been part of livestreams that have had the team members on as guests, he didn't want to sour those experiences. And really he's the only reliable source for TVC leaks at this point so it's easier to control. Black Series has multiple people break the news since there are things like factory leaks that make their way out.
>>11685617>And really he's the only reliable source for TVC leaks at this point so it's easier to control. Black Series has multiple people break the news since there are things like factory leaks that make their way out.I hate how much more popular the blacked series is to TVC. 3.75 will always be the real scale for star wars figures to me.
>>11685635>crying scale war faggotNo one cares loser stop being selfish
>>11685635the tvc label is actively holding the scale back, it's pandering to a 40+ yo demographic nostalgic for the original runi genuinely think it would be better off ending tvc and starting a new label for 3.75not having the figures be $20 would also do wonders for sales
>>11685681>i genuinely think it would be better off ending tvc and starting a new label for 3.75I don't. The label is just a label. What do you think would change?>not having the figures be $20 would also do wonders for salesThis might, but not if it meant quality dropping.
>>11685681>i genuinely think it would be better off ending tvc and starting a new label for 3.75i also heavily agree. The best 3.75 toy time period was the legacy collection era
>>11684614But wait! You forgot>Teela and Evil-Lyn dressed like nuns>Skeletor is voiced by Jared LetoBattle Cat is barely green. This is The Last Jedi of He-Man.
>>11685737Your eyes don't work so good
>>11685469Why open the cantina one? It only has an exclusive cup and cardback? Sell it, get the retail version and buy more aliens.>>11685681>the tvc label is actively holding the scale back,Nope.>>11685681>not having the figures be $20Nope.How are you A. going to move away from OT stuff and lose sales and B. lower the price without lowering the quality?You're retarded because it's not possible.There is no mythical non OT line that can be done cheaper.What do you want outside of OT? Clones and Mandos? You already get them
>>11686363TVC isn't an OT only line though.
>>11686363Outside of cardfags who are a vocal minority, most collectors are less concerned with the packaging than with the actual figure. You're not going to see some drastic dropoff in sales just because the figures aren't on a vintage cardback anymore. The only reason sales dropped during the TVC hiatus was because Hasbro was moving away from super articulated 3.75" as a whole and eventually only offered them as Walmart exclusives.
>Geo Warrior and Taun We>two of my favorite Prequel Species>pay the mouse 60 bucks for both>directly support them monetary the first time since 2019 making more horrible movies and shows (only thing i liked was fallen order and even it had sequel shit in it)Nah, just nah.
i'm sick of the vintage cardback at this point, it used to be cool but it's oversaturated nowGen X can't fuck off soon enough
>>11686368I'd say to just finish the original 96 and then move on, but that's never even going to happen, and even if by some miracle it did they'd find a new reason to complain>X character is a slightly different color so he doesn't count as completed>Y character has the wrong font on the namebox so he doesn't count as completed>Z character's cardback photo is slightly different so he doesn't count as completed
>>11686378>then move onTo what? I don't understand what you guys think would change, or even want to change. TVC was always just the label for the next phase of the main line. If you're seriously asking for less articulation and Droid parts or the magic of CommTech(TM) or whatever more power to you, but even in 2010 it was obvious why Hasbro were moving in the direction that they were.
>>11686363>Why open the cantina one? It only has an exclusive cup and cardback? Sell it, get the retail version and buy more aliensI want the cup since it goes on Han Solo's table. I don't really care about the cardback and have no interest in selling anything anyway. If I did, I'd rather sell the Tonnikas since they'd actually get most of the money back for buying the Cantina in the first place.>>11686432The format of TVC itself is limited because of the space and size of the bubble on the cardback since they don't want to cover the film out. They can keep calling it TVC but at some point I'd like a new line look so we can go back to having more accessories and larger figures packed in.
>>11686491If we're being honest they're probably never bringing back extra accessories like they had in the old days, regardless of the cardback. For the last few years they've been pinching pennies and doing everything they can to either avoid giving us more accessories or charging us more for a "deluxe" release if they do. That said I'm kind of tired of TVC cardbacks as a whole. It was nice seeing the line refresh itself every few years, while the packaging isn't super important there's something pleasing about going to the toy aisle and seeing different packaging. It's just a nice change of scenery.
>>11686491>They can keep calling it TVC but at some point I'd like a new line look so we can go back to having more accessories and larger figures packed in.That's not how that works. We already get that stuff with occasional deluxe figures, anyway. Unless you're wanting this refresh to come up with a price bump it wouldn't change anything.
>>11686630>That's not how that works.Says who? They've changed packaging on Black Series like four times
>>11686688And look at all the accessories they get!
>>11683826Where did you get that Putin figure?>>11683947>Like pretty much the only thing the Sequels did right was the generic troopers. The Scarif, Hovertank, Shore, and Sith troopers all look pretty cool.This. I pick up the troopers from the disney bs stuff but avoid most of the other figures.
>>11686370>give money to company>company gives you a product you likeit's not that deep anon
After Taun We and Watto, I feel like nothing is off the table. I bet we will see Nute Gunray in the next year or two
>>11687540I dunno, Taun We, Watto and the Geonosians have that "interesting alien factor." Nute Gunray and some of the other Separatist leaders have their cool alien factor cancelled out by basically just being cowardly dudes in robes. Outside of Poggle (who's almost definitely coming) the only Separatist I see Hasbro bothering with is Wat Tambor
New toys for mando movieI see more hype for He-Man than star wars which is hilarious, Disney fucked up so hard
>>11687870What was the last new He Man thing though, to be fair? That Kevin Smith Netflix thing in 2021?
>>11687540You know what I wanna see, more of the podracers. And that two headed announcer guy.
