>>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
