>>11773687Stream happening tomorrow with new reveals. Rumor has it there may actually be additional things revealed on May 4th through different media outlets.
>>11773689Hasbro also unveiled their 1:1 fully animatronic Grogu today. For a whopping $600, you can get the most lifelike Grogu to date that comes with over 250 animations, sounds, microphones, and other fancy electronics. Apparently he will even tilt his head in your direction when you speak to him.
>>11773687Dead franchise, Jesus
>>11773691And it'll be at Ollie's this Christmas because the movie looks fucking awful and will bomb.
>>11773691I'm surprised this isn't a Haslab. Maybe the Mouse forced them to make this a mass release because they didn't want the optics if this failed.
>>11773691>when she wants a kid but you're allergic to dogs
>>11773691Fucking embarrassing
>>11773691In the 90s this would have cost $30
Do any of you rat fucks even like star wars?
>>11773864I like pre-Disney Star Wars media and some rare parts of Mouse-verse, like new Mandos, Rogue One etc.
>>11773574Shit, yeah I did forget to account for the clothing...Also, I'm not gonna grab the figures, as I'm satisfied with the mandalorians I have now, as well as there being better figures available.Butt also, yeah if your gonna be repainting, might as well just repaint the base figures armor panels, rather than swap stuff. Hell just painting things silver/gun metal makes a HUGE difference!
>>11773864What is there to like? Have you seen the prices? Have you seen the trash on pegs?
>>11773691>For a whopping $600For that price he better give me a bj too. Goddamn, fuck this garbage, did we ever got a 1:1 Yoda? That would be a nice thing to buy for $600, didn't even need the animatronic feature.
>>11772513>>11773028Really cool drawings, I like your style.
>>11773889Lol, they're just silly little doodles. You should see my REAL drawings!(This is the only star wars related one I got)
>>11773888There have been multiple life sized Yoda statues made. But if you're not liking $600 for an animatronic, then you certainly aren't going to like the price those things go for.
Speaking of which TVC could really use a new Yoda.
>>11773935Total waste of plastic. Why are they even doing this shit?
>>11773687we arent ever goind back to some kind of sex positive bodys?
>>11773972toyline for kidslike what 3.3/4 historically was
Why would you ever pay full price?
we need more ayys there is a critical lack of ayys across all scales
>>11774094Because the Star Wars team doesn't know anything about Star Wars
>>11774079Yeah the din djarin made no sense; you make a new chest sculpt for the jetpack, but you DONT give him the two heavy pistols!?There are also WAAAAY too many many of this guy, there was no need for a....7th Din (especially since an 8th will be released for the movie)
>>11774113he's a popular character and it's easy to make variants of him because all hasbro needs to do is use different coloured plastic/ some light paint apps i'm content with the first run they did with, he looks the most like a run of the mil bounty hunter
>>11774113The newest deluxe one that comes with Gogurt is a big improvement, though, admittedly. The only thing I don't care for is the huge tab on the jetpack; it's a good gimmick but I would've preferred for Grogu to be the one with the tab.
>>11774161Yeah, see, this one makes sense, because he SHOULD have a figure to go with his movie, AND the figure is updated from his first one, now with ball joint hips, the better ankles, a new gogurt (lmao), AND his new weapons (rifle and sword).It's specifically the earlier one with the white jetpack that is stupid.
who gives a fuck about this stupid movie
Mace Windu is one of my faves, what are the best Mace toys I can buy?
>>11774208what scale are you looking for?both of them are getting up there in age, the 1/12 tbs one is still pretty decent although i don't know how easy it is to find these daysthe 3.3/4 tvc genndy wars windu came out more recently, but it's just a minor recolour of a much older (but still good) figure from 2012ish, that one might still be kicking around here or there on some sites
>>11774193Not the general public. Nothing has been selling at stores, and even the new Mando shit is already piling up.
>>11774123>he's a popular character
>>11774079>duel pistols in the photo>only comes with one>not even the correct one he used in the sceneLame.
>>11774349We used to have a toy line that cared
>>11773966There has to be one coming to go with the gunship
>>11773973She's only 12 in the first season anon. Gotta wait on Maul season 4 when he's in full control of Crimson Dawn again.
Where did Emily go? I don't care for this scrawny queef.
I am actually mad. I am going to seethe hard if they make me rebuy Delta Squad.
>>11774161but now Grogu gets to have a huge Yodussy.>>11774113>>11774123I agree about the too many versions. Though initially I was down for at least one silver and one first episode colors and I initially got one of the Mando/Grogu 2 packs (dirty armor variant) but then when they released the fixed hips on the Imperial Base and the Blurrg set, I assumed the Mines of Mandalore and the Naboo Starfighter set would have the new hips too. But no, those two were reissues of the original mold. And I got both of them. And they changed the torso for the Imperial Base version so the jetpacks can't be swapped. So yeah, fuck paying full price and just go to Ross now.
>All those KOTOR/SWTOR Figures>Still no HK-47>THEY'RE NOW REDOING CLONE COMMANDOSHASBRO! HASBROOOOOOOOOOOO! I'LL CHASE YOU TO THE END OF THE EARTH HASBRO!
Okay, wow. Actually kinda impressed
>>11774530They'll redo Delta Squad with that scuplt as a four pack.
>>11774550Can't guarantee that I won't do a swap and return on this one Hasbro. Sorry but this shit pisses me off to no end.
this was the best stream in a long time ngl it felt like 2007 again. Proper redo of clone commando has been one of my most wanted for a long time.
>>11774550Glad I didn't bother opening my GS exclusive ones. Now they'll be worth 100 times more, lol. With that money I'll be able to afford the new versions at $50 a figure. Thanks Hasbro!
>>11774558>this was the best stream in a long timeYou are so full of shit
>>11774546See you guys at DDs.
>>11774558oh yeah more disney shit wow how amazing best stream ever
>>11774558Now this is shilling
I like that they finally decided to make an accurate Plo but yikes that cloak
>>11774546Ooh, new Ross clogger!
>>11774533No, see, I'm not even counting his initial red armor! The red armor getting its own figure, and then a pure beskar silver armor makes total sense! It's the 8+ silver armor versions that are too many!!See, something like a snowy version that also comes with the snow spiders, or the s2 finally version that came with Gideon and dark trooper, which had the alternate bracers for missiles and flames, are fine. It's the almost entirely redundant imperial base version that makes no sense! Especially with how half asses it is! No heavy blasters, still has his holster for his normal pistol, AND the bracers are also supposed to be stripped.Lazy, unnecessary, and deserves to be bulk at Ross.Also, wtf, they went BACKWARDS with the sculpt!?!? Fuck, I was thinking of getting the N-1, butt inferior sculpt really fucking sucks... (And updated sculpt for the red armor was why the Blurrg is back on my radar)Hmmm.... I guess if I see movie mando at Ross, I'll pick it up (it has the improved articulation, right!?!?)
So they're re-doing Delta Squad, then they'll release Gregor and then possibly dip further into legends and do Omega Squad figures?
>>11774570Amazon exclusive so not a chance.
>prequel shit>disney shit>video game shitwhy do they insist on giving the ot the finger
>>11774577Disney hates the old fans so there's a mandate to show as little OT characters as possible
>>11774576Ross has gotten tons of Amazon exclusives
>>11774562>>11774564>>11774568>>11774570Fuck off and kys samefag. I hate Disney too but your troll spam is so low effort and annoying. At least make intelligent criticisms instead of spamming the same worthless phrases. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is glorp ruining yet another general
>>11774585nice try go cry to mickey
>>11774571>(it has the improved articulation, right!?!?)I believe so. It looks like it does in the promotional pics.I did get the Imperial Base version at Ross which is how I now know that it's the only other one besides the Blurrg version that has the new hips. Blurrg interested me quite a bit because I'm a fan of the Ewok films, but after buying the N-1 set and then the Mines of Mandalore I ended up taking a break from the line entirely from the frustration.>>11774546Aw, I like Mission Vao. Why no 3.75 KotoR?
>>11774593Yeah I would buy that Mission in TVC if they did her but wtf did they do to Carth's face there? Who tf did they model that from?
>Finally doing KOTOR figures againOne step closer...
>>11774598Probably referenced from the initial failed KOTOR remake. People speculated the same with the unusual Malak from a few years ago.
>>11774603yeah at least there's no way they don't make him now. were there dates on when mission and carth come out? or the preorder window?
>>11774530>>11774550everyone defended the old ones are jokes now, good
>>11774614May 4th at 1PM EST.
>>11774530The vibroblade being able to slide out is so cool
>>11774585Found the shill
>>11774598Not gonna lie, I had to look up who Carth even is because I never really used him in my party.
>>11774620thanks
>>11774621I wish it came with the other blaster configurations too but guessing it doesn’t since they didn’t show or say anything. But at least it won’t be deluxe priced
Nice to see real Anakin again but I really don't think it looks much like Shaw. Then again I didn't think the recent Vader with the removable helmet was an improvement over the first TVC Vaded in that department either.
>>11774569This is what he looks like without it. If they had added a shorter skirt, I think it would’ve worked as his ROTS costume or at least how the old ROTS figure looked. I get they did this for AOTC/geonosis but with the cloak on I think he looks really lame desu… even a clone wars version would’ve been preferable to this towel with a lightsaber
>>11774577What else do you want from the OT, they've made everythingalready.
>>11774634>real AnakinGet out
>>11774639Let him have this he will probably not be around much longer
>>11774649I'll outlive you, queerboy.
>cut paint apps>bootleg cloth goods
>>11774546Goddamn, this is the most excited I've ever been to see Carth. Time to rumble!
>>11774663On clearance no less!
>>11774569Swol Koon
>>11774530Wait they are redoing them for this new body? That makes me happy if so. The old body was what had me avoid buying them.>>11774546So nice.>>11774534It has to be only a matter of time. They have the parts, shouldn't be difficult to do.
>>11774638I can think of a number of OT characters/costumes that could use updates. No different than most PT shit at this point, though.
>>11774674I don't think they'll ever stop making OT characters as toys. It is good to take a break by letting other branches get a chance. Disney barely acknowledges some of this stuff we're seeing so its nice to be getting it at all. Updated OT stuff will have to be patient. It took a long to get a new Sandtrooper. We'll get more updated figures no doubt about it.
>>11774636>even a clone wars version would’ve been preferable to this towel with a lightsaberIt isn't great. It doesn't look terrible without the robe but I'm not sure what they're basing it on, or maybe they just didn't think people would remove it.
>>11774673>They have the parts, shouldn't be difficult to doWhat parts do they have for HK-47? Don't think any existing droid parts would be accurate
>>11774685I understand the anxiety given the periled state of Star Wars and action figures in general. New takes on Bespin Luke and Yoda would be nice, but more than anything I just want a good TESB Han with a good Ford likeness; the last one isn't bad but nailing it would be my dream. Then Hasbro in its entirety can atrophy to nothing for all I care.They're very hit and miss with face sculpts, though. In some ways I think they're even less consistent than they were 16 years ago. It's quite possible that an update would be more fun to handle but look worse than this one.
>>11774686>I'm not sure what they're basing it on, or maybe they just didn't think people would remove itlike I said I think they based it off the old ROTS toy but not sure how accurate that was. It's hard to find costume references from the movies online but Hasbro probably has some to use
>>11774685>>11774701When they showed the new HTTE Luuke (which looks pretty bad), I thought how much I would have preferred a new Bespin Luke instead
>>11774546>first traya and nihilus >now mission and carthkotor bros...we're finally back
>>11774698Nevermind I am dumb. I saw the HK-87 droid figure and thought it had the same body as HK-47 without looking at it with any detail.I went 'neat! maybe HK-47 next' and moved on without a single thought.
>>11774755Too bad the figures have been kinda crap.
>>11774674But are any of them updates you want to spend $21 on?
>>11774766do you mean the selection or the quality?i think revan, bastila, and malak are all pretty decent figures, even if revan is dated these daystraya and the new nihilus look goodbut zaalbar and the og nihilus are pretty weak, yeahthough now that i think about it, it's strange that they're doing a mission and carth pack instead of pairing mission with zaalbar
>>11774585seethe lmao
Really bothers me how ugly the Z-6 with Thorn is. No idea why it is such a light gray instead of a darker color and the proportions look off somehow. The one with the TVC Fallen Order stormtrooper was good, I wish this looked like that. Probably not going to get Thorn because of how ridiculous it looks. I hope they improve it and make a Battlefront 2 heavy
>>11774550Honestly with how slow they are with certain easy repaints (we still don't have battle droid ranks), I wouldn't be surprised if they don't redo Delta squad at least not for a couple years. I bet next one will be the Kamino royal guard then Gregor.
>>11774628this is probably the greatest AI slop I've ever seen
>>11774769Just a new Tarkin and TESB stuff at this point. New Bespin Luke and Han, assuming they didn't screw the pooch, would be nice. A good in-scale Yoda (even if it meant less articulation with a sculpted robe) would be good, too, especially if they fleshed it out with some good accessories. That's about it, though. I don't care much about the prequels and never have, though there are things I'd like to see.
>>11773691Looking at the video, it looks pretty good, but they kind of overshot with the price imo. Also, a bunch of women and kids who wanted a Baby Yoda already got this one and there's a whole market on Etsy of custom outfits for him, so I don't know how well this one will do.
>>11774861>Thorn>Disney characterSeriously, get some new material dude. You can even just use ChatGPT to come up with it for you.
>>11774907You should take your own advice
>>11774881Looks like ass. Not at all worth the money. Not that anyone that buys Grogu crap is a fan anyway.
>>11774963Real fans would know that half of the characters he bitches about existed before the Disney takeover.
>more clone commanders with no generic infantry to serve under themthis shit really triggers my autism.
What the hell is going on with Mission’s arms?
>>11774989she's got long armsit seems accurate to her in game model thoughit might look a bit off because the boots on the figure go up higher than on the og model though, but from what i can tell the proportions are more or less the same
>>11774979I'm begging you, just stop embarrassing yourself like this.>Commander Thorn first appearance - The Clone Wars "The Rise of Clovis">Filoni first revealed an image of Thorn on his Facebook page on May 14, 2012 and stated that the character would appear in The Clone Wars: Season Five[...]>"Following the original airing order from Star Wars Insider 134, "The Rise of Clovis" was to be the sixth episode of Season Five, but this was later revised to "A Test of Strength.">Season Five First aired September 29, 2012>Disney announced its acquisition of Lucasfilm, the production company behind Star Wars, on October 30, 2012, and completed the deal on December 21, 2012.
>>11774989I'm more concerned with why carth is asian
>>11775043Shill
>liking clonetroopers makes you a tranny now
>>11775115So then that makes you a tranny
>>11775115>clone troopers>disney shitYou are underage
Shitposters don't care about facts, guys. Stop wasting your time and energy.
>>11775115go back to /pol retard
>>11774989Probably because they kitbashed parts together. That ab crunch means it's the Aphra/Jaina/Mara torso, maybe arms are from one of them too. Same thing happened with the Ahsoka Anakin they gave him new arms that looked too long with his reused legs
>>11773687face looks like rey
>be black series designer>working on clone commando>"Okay the fans were not happy with the Hunter repaints we kept making, this time let's get this iconic fan favorite from entertainment right.">pull up battlefront 2 on second monitor to use as reference while sculpting>sculpt everything then get to the arms>"Fuck, in this pose I can't see what the front of the biceps and forearms are supposed to look like">"Uhhh... whatever I'll just mirror the back part"This might be the most retarded and laziest thing I have ever seen from the black series team. I have defended them before when people call them lazy because I know there are a lot of passionate and hard working people there and often times flaws are a result of budget constraints. But you can't use the budget excuse here. This was pure laziness. They absolutely could have found more references to sculpt this correctly and chose not to. And now I can't unsee this and it pisses me off. Imagine doing guesswork on something like this. It's not like it was some obscure glup shitto that appeared in one frame of A New Hope and there are no costume references so you have to make something up. Commando armor is very well documented by clone autists who are currently melting down because of this.
I am so fucking tired of clones. This line is goddamn stale as can be. Even when they do an alien, it's the fucking boring ass twi'lek. Fuck off. Give me real aliens. Give me real droids. This whole fucking line sucks.
>>11775167we're getting a kaminoan, geonosian, and watto later this yeari agree that the line has been lacking for a while though, part of me wishes they'd just make a few generic characters using shit they already have and for the droids, there is no reason they haven't made every r2 - r5 droid in tbs at this point with the new body, and all the protocol droids on the newer 3p0/ 4lom body
>>11775206what, you want a new bossk and more ewoks?granted the old bossk was shitty back then too so a new one would be appreciated
>>11775208He doesn’t want anything he just wants to complain
>>11775208>what, you want a new bossk and more ewoks?Yeah, actually. That would be nice. But we won't get 'em because here's another batch of shit clone attempts.
>>11774720I still haven't opened the Heir to the Empire three pack, but fuck it, I'll take this too. I'll buy anything Thrawn Trilogy related, now give us some damn Noghri.
>>11775241They have to sell the clones in order to pay to make the aliens that no one ever buys.
>>11775260the past couple aliens have been pretty niche, which is likely why they don't sell amazingly getting taun we and watto is cool and all, but i don't expect them to sell gangbusters i think the jedi aliens do alright though
>>11775272Yeah but he specifically wants OT aliens. I just don't know what would be left that they could really even do besides a Weequay and a Nikto from Jabba's Palace. They've pretty much done all of the heavy hitters and when they try Cantina characters, nobody buys them. Black Series is just really not the line if you want the Glups. You're better off sticking with TVC for that, especially when the all new versions are pretty much on par with their 6" counterparts anyways.
>>11775283i think the issue is that most ot aliens are deluxes, which put people off the nadon and gammorian were decent figures, but hard to justify the price for what you get if they were all standard releases i'm sure they'd do alright
>>11774775to be fair i got my zaalbar last year for like 10 bucks on ebay, its pretty accessible
>>11774775Everyone complains about Zaalbar, but I honestly think he's fine. Yeah, he looks retarded, but so did his character portrait and in game model.
>>11775325his 3d model looked way too doglike
>>11774569Ready for his Robot Chicken sketch.
>>11774569I know he never took it off in the movies but I'm still let down how this came out underneath the cloak. It just looks odd. And hopefully because this is a prototype, the final version will improve the soft goods at least so there won't be as much desire to remove them. As is it looks like he's being swallowed by a bedsheet. I know they can do better because they have in the past. I'd still like to see a proper Clone Wars style one down the road soon.
>>11774530Damn this actually looks Peak. Hopefully it turns out as good as it looks and they do all of Delta Squad on this body.
>>11774530They better overproduce these so I'm not having to fight scalpers.
>>11775387maybe plo kept going commando under the robes and they finally got on his case about it and this was the compromise
I'm glad we're getting some of the factory workers too but it's bugging my autism that Hasbro's using the wrong head for them. For some reason they've decided to exclusively use the Geonosian face with tusks for all their figures, even though the only Geonosians that have tusks are warriors and even then it's uncommon.
>>11775551Are the new TVC all going up on the 4th? I find it hard to keep track of Hasbro stuff anymore since they will pipeline shit a year in advance and then drop special action sets or 4 packs out of nowhere with no warning.
>>11775556Yeah, most of this stuff is going up on the 4th
>>11775559Thanks. Even though I have mostly pivoted to collecting Lego now I still autistically buy up all of the new TVC releases even though I don't even have room to display them now. I guess I feel FOMO and that one of these days when I have a space big enough I can finally display what I have been collecting for years.
>>11775556>Are the new TVC all going up on the 4th?Yeah, except for the Ventress set
>>11775206The only gay thing here is your posts faggot.
>>11775551They can't have a release now that isn't fucked up and wrong now. They just don't care.
>>11775551Why is the Star Wars line plagued with so much inaccuracy? So many times they gush about all the details they added, how they closely worked with Lucasfilm and got their hands on archive props to nail the details, etc. Yet so much other stuff they get wrong. They are clearly capable of doing things right so it's really frustrating to see when they half ass things like this and the clone commando. I guess some workers are not as passionate about Star Wars as others and don’t care and just want to turn something in as fast as possible.
so there is hope for a visas figure
>>11775726will probably take them 5 years with the current pace but yeah
>>11775726I wish we were getting regular old Kreia with a removable arm instead of Traya
>>11775551>>11775632>>11775671It's weird that they went out of their way to give the picador an accurate harness but still gave him the wrong head
>>11775816given that traya is just a recoloured kreia, i'd imagine that a kreia figure isn't too far off
>>11775993It's not that weird when you remember that TVC is operating on essentially a shoestring budget compared to BS. Frankly I think we're lucky that we're even getting as much variation with the Geonosians as is. Considering they are not only doing multiple costumes for them, but for the most part they had to tool up different bodies as well. In pic related, you can see Poggle has a lot of unique details to him not only in costume but on his actual body, so essentially there is very little reuse between the two. In fact I would wager to say the only thing that is shared between them are the wings and maybe the thighs. If they make their money on these releases now, then they will likely be able to tool up the alternate head for a Geonosian on a single card down the road if people pester them enough about it. Frankly I haven't really seen anyone talking about the tusks being an issue except here in this thread. Honestly I didn't even know there was a difference and I watch AOTC a lot. Most of the Geonosians on screen are blurry due to motion or are shown far away and from behind. There's I think two or three shots of them that we see them head on and clear, but for the most part it's usually Poggle that's getting the focus when it comes to their species.
>>11776063I don't think most people will care, not many people are autistic about their bug men like me
>>11776133Hey I understand Anon. We all have our thing when it comes to this stuff. Like I said, the best chance of getting a new head would be to try and get the community behind it to make it known to Hasbro. People already did that with the Clone Commander's helmet stripe being incorrect and Chris Reiff already said they will make sure it's corrected before final production. And we saw the same thing when it came to Sabine's helmet and swappable heads in general. I bet a lot of people would support it because it might even be new to them that there should be a different head for the drones. I'll even start bringing it up to a few of the TVC communities I frequent that the brand team engages with.
>>11774864It's cosplay, actually. Damn good one too. Here's hoping for a Kreia.
>>11776063Maybe they should've not fucked Star Wars up and they'd have a better budget.
>>11776063I didn't even really notice it either but I'm skipping through AOTC and it's one of those things I can't unsee now. The only one I even noticed with tusks was the one chaining Anakin and that's one of the only times we get a really good long closeup look at one of them so that's probably why the team focused on it.
>>11776151Thanks, though at this point I'm glad we're getting Geonosians at all, for years I thought nobody at Hasbro was interested in them. I can understand why people wouldn't notice, like you said we don't get many clear shots of them. About the only time we get a good shot of a non-tusked one is that first guy that stands alert when Dooku walks by. As the other anon mentioned, the one that chains Anakin to the post is the most noteworthy and clear shot of one in the movie so I'm not surprised they used that as a reference.
>>11776173I agree. It's good to get some more CIS representation that isn't just the droids. And to get them all at once too is really nice. Although I am still hoping for an all new B2 from this campaign, along with updated arms on the B-1 that can actually hold its blaster.
>You versus the guy she tells you not to worry about
>>11776218really makes you wonder what the point of doing delta squad variants on the old body was
Wasn't really imagining the 1/18 aliexpress bootleg seller would ever approach these troopers with how much more paint work these guys require compared to the average clone armor pattern, but I'm extremely happy they did - the colors are spot-on perfect, the camo pattern looks great, they even have the EAFrontII Assault-class-specific striping on the chest. Unfortunately the other 41st Rangers trooper variants being sold also all have the Assault-class-specific striping on the chest, which makes them all slightly worse accuracy-wise, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make for the perfect Phase II 41st Rangers Assault trooper, which this absolutely is.
>>11776261Money.
>>11776218Still not right. I can ignore the biceps but the forearms make me want to cry. They even flipped the buttons and put them on the right arm instead of left. How can the sculptor be this retarded… >>11776261Because at the time it was cheaper to just do a repaint than make an all new sculpt. But if they had made the new sculpt then done all the repaints they would’ve gotten their money's worth on the tooling so it never made sense.>>11776324Those are pretty cool
>>11776355>But if they had made the new sculpt then done all the repaints they would’ve gotten their money's worth on the tooling so it never made sense.I think they figured fans would be satisfied with the Hunter body reuse and think "well they're not gonna make a new sculpt so we'll take it" and didn't anticipate how many people would call them out on this shit
>>11776218Goddamn am I glad I passed on the first attempt. I like the Republic Commando novels more than the games to be honest, but I'll definitely pick up the new Deltas.
>>11775166I'm going to make you even more mad because they didn't just mirror the front to the back on the bicep armor. The other side has a completely different sculpt to it, but IT'S STILL WRONG. At least it's a closer approximation... They mentioned it has a bicep swivel so you could at least flip it around and hope it doesn't look to awkward or fuck with the range of the elbow too much. Can't excuse the forearms though.>>11776261I'm just fucking mad I bought them all the first time. Thankfully Boss was the only one I paid full price for but still, to so quickly turn around and redo them completely is a real kick in the dick. They should at least throw us a bone and not include the different DC-17m configurations with the new ones; that way those of us with the first batch can at least salvage those from them and not feel totally cheated.
Between the new RC sculpt and what's going on with the Geonosians it's amazing that the Hasbro team has a lot of genuine attention to detail and has people working there that do have genuine passion for the material and a drive to get it right and somehow still makes some baffling mistakes that make no senseI mean presumably these guys are working with actual official reference material, access to models, artwork, etc and aren't just relying on whatever screenshots they found by doing a GIS
>>11776447This isn't a bug, it's a feature of toy collecting. All the companies do it across all lines. Whether it's Star Wars, Marvel Legends, TMNT, DC Multiverse, etc. You think they aren't capable of being accurate or able to hire sculptors that could get a perfect Ford or Hamill likenesses despite that higher end companies like Hot Toys can do it or guys who sculpt and print heads as a hobby out on their basement? Nah, they absolutely can. But why get your money once when they know they can get it five times over a few years
>>11776447>it's amazing that the Hasbro team has a lot of genuine attention to detail and has people working there that do have genuine passion for the materialThey don't, though. They just fake it, theyvwear Star Wars shirts. That's it. They aren't fans at all.
>>11776497the pr managers aren't the same as the design team
I wish you idiots would shut up about your jock clone troopers in football armor
>>11776519yeah let's talk more about all the rey and holdo figures that are clogging the shelves
>>11776522Who the hell is so backwards they still use shelves to find toys? They haven't been properly restocked in three years.
>>11776522anon it’s been 6 years since a figure of rey was made you’ve gotta grow up
>>11774530Not even mad about the lack of paint. If they can sell the base body cheap enough I'll happily repaint a squad of these myself.
what the hell
>>11776653
>>11776653>>11776654Kill it with fire.
>>11776653>>11776654>figure of a 30+ y/o SEA cosplayerWeird choice.
>>11776653>>11776654>Ah, yes. My vision finally fully realized.
>>11776654>>11776697
>>11776441Idk man it’s mind boggling. Kaminoancustoms also pointed out the elbow pad has random lines on it like what were they even referencing to put those on there??As for the blasters, nah it would suck if the new Scorch and Sev didn’t come with a grenade launcher and sniper. People who got the old set are just going to have to take the L. Definitive (or at least close) versions coming out making your old versions obsolete happens all the time in toy collecting, it is what it is. But like I said above it could be a couple years before they redo Delta. Kamino royal guard and Gregor are probably next. Plenty of time to sell off the old ones and save like $120 for a new set>>11776485They do this with Transformers where they release another version with better/more accurate paint apps to make you double dip. But with Star Wars, I’m starting to think the sculptors are just shit. There is stuff they are good at like cloth textures and even likenesses are pretty good most of the time, they just aren’t painted enough to bring the full potential of the sculpt out. But they keep fucking up clone armor. They’ve resculpted the helmet how many times in both scales? It shouldn’t be that hard to just look at some screen caps and model it accurately like 3D printer customizers do. Or maybe they are getting some weird ass references from Lucasfilm. They know how autistic we are about clone armor so just do it right and no one would complain
>>11776653>>11776654They made her tits bigger…
>>11776653>>11776654The animated show outfit which Disney tried to sweep under the rug with the appearance of the young actress from the live action. That's a bold choice.
>>11776653>>11776654Someone photoshop Rota's face onto her's
>>11776709Based George giving little boys kino like always
>>11776653>>11776654>Kennedy steps down from Lucasfilm >Filoni takes over>Tube top Ahsoka immediately returnsLmao
>>11776820KEK
>>11776653>>11776654how long until the woke mob complains about this and get them to either cancel the whole thing or get them to redo it to cover her up
>>11776838There's already comments on Instagram and the like seething lmao.
>>11776653>>11776654>>11776820This would be so good if they had just given her bigger eyes, or maybe if her actress was less ugly.
>>11776840Give her bimbo lips
>>11776838>>11776840>tfw you want to support it cause it's based and makes faggots seethe, but the figure is ugly live-action slop
>>11776849buy it, imagine how mad the trannies will be when this sells out
>>11776849>>11776863It's a limited edition, by the way. Only 2500 units.
>>11776868It's our duty to buy them all
>>11776868I'm buying 5 just to piss off the trannies
>>11776563Speaking of, it's still hilarious to me that TFA's 10th anniversary was completely ignored but they've been acknowledging Rogue One's without any hesitation.
>>11776936disney knows the sequels are poison, but they can't outright admit that they were failures or their shareholders will sue them out the assso they'll just ignore them, and make references to them in other media without ever actually talking about them againthe only worthwhile designs in them are the sith trooper and dark rey anyways
>>11776941Not him but isn't Rogue One also poison? It got shit on more than TFA when it came out. Or does it get a pass now because people like Andor?
>>11776971The "people" who like Andor don't buy toys.
>>11776971rogue one has always had a stable amount of supporters, more than the other sequels at the very least, but yeah the stuff doesn't sell super great, likely due to not having many toyish designs ouside of the uwing andor has more fans, but they're not the type of people who will go out and buy toys of the characters it's probably infuriating to the execs, they have made shit people like but they'll only get a little bit of money for it instead of the millions they hoped for, simply due to the nature of it
>>11776978Most "people" don't.
>>11776971Rogue One is a shit movie that barely holds together, but at least it doesn't go up its own ass to shit on the Prequels like all the Disney slop did before it.
>>11777054Would’ve been a great movie if it was about soldiers and not a rag tag group lead by I rebel
>>11777066not defending the movie but that line was cut, even the producers knew that was going too far with the girlboss shit
>>11777068>not defending the movieYou literally are you shill
>>11776653>>11776654The Twitter discourse over this figure is amazing. The "real" fans keep crowing about how this costume was RETCONNED and LISTS and shit. Hysterical.
>>11775071You think "Onasi" is a white boy name?
>>11777076ok fag i'll give you my honest thoughts on rogue onemovie is a snoozefest, the only character that isn't a charisma vacuum is k2so he's the fucking robotonly part of the movie worth watching is the space battle above the beach planet, and even then it's just mindless ot wankthe hallway scene with vader always has been and always will be retarded and completely out of character for vader, it also fucks with anh pretty badly the fact that people came their pants when they saw it is beyond disappointing, it's just disney jangling keys and they ate that shit up
>>11777083Also the whole premise of there being an intentional flaw in the Death Star misses the -whole fucking point- of the Empire being so overconfident that they'd miss a small design flaw, an accidental one.But everyone past the 90s is a fucking retard and think it's a plot hole and not a, you know, thematic element of the story.
Damn that's sexy ngl
>>11777099Hey now there's only room for one Dracula Sith
>>11777099The hair looks ridiculous. Looks cool otherwise.
>>11777222>not 80s rocker maxxingngmi
>>11777099Pretty meh compared to the concept art.
>>11777099When is someone going to finally give me a figure of ugly unibrow Anakin from the storyboards
Neat
>>11777309This reminds me of someone
The 3.75" Starspeeder 1000 is getting a restock/reissue as part of shopdisney's May 4th stuff in a few hours, if any of you missed it before and want it for its normal price badly enough to put up with the shopdisney website.
>>11777404oh joy more disney shit
>>11777425>Never experienced the unbridled joy that was riding Star Tours as a child in the 90sI pity you, truly. No wonder you're so bitter and miserable.
>>11777078No one knows what retcon means anymore.
>>11777082NTA, but Dustil is definitely a white boy name. Need TBS Dustil so I can force TBS Carth to murder him. For old time's sake.
Is there a link to the Mission and Carth 2 pack? I don't see it listed on Amazon if it is up.
>>11776653>>11776654>>11776868>Asohka: Good Friend Edition
>>11777679Nevermind, here are they are:https://www.amazon.com/STAR-WARS-SW-Monsoon-Pack/dp/B0GH9SHZCB
>>11777311Ooh, what scale is this?>>11777404What's the price point?
>>11777724>Ooh, what scale is this?I honestly don't know. I can't stand Blokees' stupid ass naming conventions for their scales. They say it's "Champion Class Lite" but didn't explain what that means. Champion Class is more of their 6" range usually, but no idea what the Lite is supposed to indicate.
>>11777724I think Blokees are too big for TVC and too small for Black Series but don’t quote me and I think they have different scales. I was going to google the answers to your questions but realized you can do that yourself too mister anon :^)
>>11777737NOOOO! Google it for me!! DX
>>11777404I wonder why they didn't remodel it into commuter ships, when they updated the ride.
Where are the reveals?
>>11777737Even google told me to google it.
Where were you when Maulcops series was better than rebels.
>>11777995Things focused on villains are always more interesting than ones focused on boring goody two shoes.
>>11777962Dead line
>>11777995Yeah it was a lot more solid than I expected
>>11777962last friday
>>11777404This is pretty cool with the screen that has clips of actual ride footage but can't justify the cost when I already have the original park souvenir version.
>>11777995are people saying rebels was a good show now? back when it was airing people always complained how annoying ezra/ sabine/ zeb were and that the only decent episodes where the ones focusing on tcw characters or kanan/ hera
>>11778025>>11778081Are you serious? Why can't corporations stick to date? Black Friday is now more like Black November, and now they can't even wait until Star Wars Day to celebrate Star Wars. I can't believe I tried to stay up for 24 hours for this.
>>11778124where the fuck were you that you didn't know the reveals would be on friday and the preorders were going up todaydo you just not check any of the collecting sites
>>11778124I would try checking Yakface or other sites around or before May 4th next year. I noticed that although people sometimes post news, usually the people here are assuming you already are up to date with releases and news, and then come here to talk. Not saying I am entitled to news, but this place isn't the most reliable for it. I am guessing some unmoderated posters scared off other posters, so they may have migrated elsewhere.I go to Yakface and (sadly) the subreddit if I want to check on news/releases. They seem more on top of things.https://yakfaceforums.com/main/2026/05/04/affiliate-news-may-the-fourth-preorders/Btw that yakface article says Amazon, EE, etc. but I saw some of those up on BBTS so not sure how strict the exclusivities really are.
>>11778124Brother, it was literally in the second post of this thread. If you missed it then that's on you.
>>11778090I honestly wish it didn't, it just feels like an excuse to jack up the price. Not saying it isn't cool, but I feel like I would look at it only a couple times before never using that feature again. I have a lot of fond memories of the Disney World ride, but at $350, I'm forced to do something I rarely do since I started collecting toys and just say to myself 'actually, I'm good with just my memory of the thing'.
>>11778138BBTS is part of the fan channel so they will always get that stuff. YakFace just usually doesn't link to them anymore because he's an affiliate of EE and Amazon and gets a commission if you buy through his links.
>>11778169To be fair, the first one was based on the original ride and had the white and blue paintjob and the original footage, and in that scenario I feel it was justified since that footage can't really be seen any other way. I just watched a review on the reissue and it has 3 scenarios from the current ride. But doesn't even do the 3rd Darth Vader security stop variation because they decide "oh we did that in the other D3 only limited edition version so good enough" which kind of sucks.Also the review I watched noted that his front blaster mechanism had issues and broke almost immediately (the spring mechanism wasn't working so he attempted to force it open, breaking the tabs that hold it in place) and, instead of rubber, the seat belts are fabric elastic straps which wears out very quickly in my experience.
>>11778171Oh, that is what Fan Channel means. Thank you, that makes more sense in context. I always go to BBTS or Amazon, so it always confused me when I saw a set listed as being on EE and then seeing it listed on BBTS or Amazon too.
>>11778124>I can't believe I tried to stay up for 24 hours for thistrolling or literally born yesterday?
>>11778204Yep. Fan Channel by default will mean Pulse + BBTS, EE, and GameStop. Amazon for some reason is not always included, so they will usually say "fan channel + Amazon".
Disney and Hasbro want you to care about the Eleventh Brother and the 33rd Sister and the 85th Mother.
>>11778399Only Second Sister from Fallen Order and Grand Inquisitor are cool, all the rest are jobbers.
>>11778399and I will continue to only buy kotor characters
For years I've wanted an Old Republic Trooper from the Black Series. But it's not the exact one I wanted. I wanted pic related. Am I just being too picky?
>>11778399>figure does not flyI know why they do that, still, fucking kek
>>11778399glad to know the inquisitors in maul kept up the tradition of them being completely useless at the whole 'killing jedi' thing they still have zero on screen jedi kills despite being around since 2014
for anyone with the cruiser hallway set, have you ever extended it with a second copy or would a second by excessive? the sales right now are pretty good and im tempted
>>11778505Yes, it's definitely worth it. I'm even wanting to get a third so I can make another room to put the Darktroopers in.
>>11778505Is that the imperial one, with the mandalorian privateer?What fortuitous timing, if so, because I want that mandalorian lol
>>11778524I pulled the trigger already, I saw some photos that put a blast door in between halls and that suits what I want to do perfectly, Plus two generic mando trooper figs never hurts, my stormies need something to shoot at.>>11778527Get hunting anon, forbidden planet uk has them for under 30 currently, 3 per customer (they also have the shriek hawk 4 pack for 25 if anyone needs dudes) Amazon has good stock of the hallway too for 32ish
>>11778524Also a darktrooper room sounds neat, maybe I should hunt them down too, but I just wanted generic imp hallways for stuff.
>>11778498very inquisitive
>>11778505A 2nd copy is definitely not excessive, I went for 4 of them and have absolutely no regrets. Posted these images a while back when the hallway was newer, but I'll take the excuse to post 'em again
>>11778536>>11778537Excellent. I'm glad they made this set. I'm hoping we'll get a more standard Imperial gray version next year for the anniversary that's modeled after the Death Star hallways. I would try and pick up one a month just to get several and combine them with the 3D printed ones I have so I can make a huge corridor.>>11778546Awesome shot Anon.
>>11778536Under 30's a pretty great price for these, if you can swing another 2 to get 4 I think it's super worth it, but 2 is still very good too - and takes up a lot less space, of course. This last image is only 2 of my 4 since with the far door closed you can't see the extra pieces from the 3rd and 4th hallways, and there's still a lot you can do with it.
>>11778553Ah that'd be sweet, more backdrops for all manner of scenes and posing. Hopefully a source of more troopers or things like mousedroids and set dressing too.>>11778546>>11778548>>11778558Ah I remember these, I think I got you to post em when I asked about the hallways a while ago, excellent shots. I am tempted for a few more with the current prices, but the starwars sales this may 4th have been excellent and pricey. Even so, hard to pass up. As for set dressing, there's no chance of scoring a hovertank for those crates, does anyone have a line on decent decor/accessory makers or sellers? Some 3d print sellers out there but the finished product is ropey at best, though black series scale boxes may do well when stacked for cover.
>>11778568Black series scale printed boxes that is, not figure boxes
>>11778568NTA but check out Hole in the Ground Productions. He's got a variety of worldbuilding stuff like that. You have to paint them obviously, which most could just be done with some spray paint and a simple wash, but the quality of the casts/prints themselves is fantastic.
>>11778536Oh uh, I meant that I'd like to split it with you, if you were trying to buy a second, and didn't want another of that figure, but $30 is probably worth just buying it myself ....(Im in America, though, so nevermind, shipping across the pond negates any possible savings on my end lol)
>>11778624Fuck, in America, they're $50+... Triple never mind.....
>>11778548>>11778546>>11778558Wish the black collection got this cool stuff. Makes me almost want to start collecting tvc.
Greetings from Lego general, what did you lads buy yesterday? Nothing for me, but I do have a new republic x-wing (lego) and the parts for two more container ships for this partial moc coming in the mail some time this week.
>>11778638
>>11777670you can make carth kill him?
>>11778436Not at all. The one they made looks way too close to in-game model, which probably the point, but I never liked that stylized cartoonish style they had in SW:TOR.The ones from CGI promo movies were great, in-game ones? Not so hot.
>>11778436I hope/think we'll get one like your pic eventually. It is cool they are making all this KOTOR stuff lately. It must be doing well.
>>11778639Star Wars is dead
>>11778498Didn't Reva kill one in the first episode of Kenobi?
>>11778690Sort of. A fight triggers with Dustil in the dark side route of Carth's companion quest. I usually take control of Carth and force him to gun down his kid. Have something to really whine about, bitch.
>>11778776iirc no, there's just a dead body strung up with the accusation that he was a jedi they've gotten a handful of implied kills, but we've never actually seen onewhich is really strange considering these are the guys who's job it is to hunt down jedi, and it's not like on screen deaths aren't allowed because we see them die and vader kill jedi
>>11778655Maybe if they have a Kyle Katarn. He's the only reason I'm still a sort of star wars fan after being on this earth for 40 years.
>>11778855He's Goated I wish I knew about the dark forces series when I was a kid.I literally bought this a few days ago but the fucking phase 3 Dark Trooper is like $100+ figure.
>>11773950Go back to /trash/, whale.
>Even among Disney+ subscribers, no one cares about the Sequel TrilogyIt's so over.
>>11774161I got the black series of this. Now I want another pistol. Fuck.
>>11778878I think I still have all of my old star wars toys, I need to see if I can find my original kenner dark trooper.
>>11778887>Anbore #1lol now they are just lying because we know no one watched Anbore when analytics companies posted the viewership statistics
>>11779034Andor is great if you don't have a zoomer attention span.
>>11779034Andor is for people who don't like Star Wars.
>>11779034Dude if they were lying they would have put at least one of the sequels there. You think Disney wants to admit that people would rather watch Attack of the Clones than a single Sequel Trilogy movie?
>>11779034Andor is great if you have a zoomer attention span.
>>11778880I can do both :p
>>11779040>I'm smart for liking this boring tv show and you're dumb if you don't!yawn>>11779050Correct.
>>11779051>Dude if they were lying they would have put at least one of the sequels thereYou've gotta at least make your lies believable
>>11778887>no MandalorianThis is NOT the way.
>>11779040Yeah.. I'm not sitting thru 45 mins of yapping for only 5-10 minutes of action. Those scenes and outro music are great no doubt about it.
>>11778828They aren't strong enough to kill actual jedi.
>>11779141Why not? They are former Jedi and Jedi have died to clones. Obviously inquisitors have killed Jedi even if not explicitly shown on screen. You faggots better not start another version of the Stormtroopers can't aim annoying meme
>>11779150>You faggots better not start another version of the Stormtroopers can't aim annoying memeIf anything, Disney is starting the meme that inquisitors can't successfully kill Jedi.
>>11778887>>11779034>>11779132Andor is currently available on Hulu without a Disney+ subscription, Mandalorian is not, so Andor has views from Disney+ viewers, Hulu viewers, and bundle viewers. There's your explanation to how it got #1 on May 4th.
>>11779169I remember when they were practically begging people to watch the first three episodes. My memory is a little hazy but I think they pushed them out to ABC or some other platform too and maybe even had them available for free or something
>>11777309Anakin if Padme wouldn't
>>11778878no it's not? which one are you talking about exactly cuz no one really lists it as "phase 3"anyway I have one of those 3.75 Kyle i'm selling if anyone wants it
>>11779365It was a build a Droid figure from like 22.
>>11779179I remember when they were right since the series is good.
>>11779365>get to teach an anon about the OG DarktroopersSweet. The original Darktrooper had 3 phases: Phase 1 was the robot skeletal phase, Phase 2 was more like a traditional Stormtrooper armor, and Phase 3 was like a pumped Stormtrooper, pic related. There was also a Phase 0 which was more like Stormtroopers turned into cyborgs (they show up in the original Battlefront 2).The Phase 3 got a 3.75" figure early on, shown in your pic. Later all 3 phases got figures, with the Phase 3 being a BAF. That stupid wave was stupid hard to find and I sometimes think about going back to buy it now that I have money.Then later Disney made their own take on the Dark Trooper (no phases, only that one iteration), which is also seen in your pic.
>>11779511Forgot the picI really hope Hasbro makes a Black Series version of one (or even all) of these some day. Phase zero would be great too.
>>11776324 Nice. I would rather have some 1/18 Scouts with this paint job.
>>11779511The BAF is also way bigger (and probably a bit more game accurate) than the old POTF2 mold
Honestly bros, I was thinking about the May 4 reveals again and as someone that grew up in the PT era, I was hit by a huge wave of nostalgia. I remembered the good old days when I used to post on Star Wars message boards and all the new reveals are basically the things we used to fanboy about back then. Like Satele Shan, how many times did we watch the legendary KOTOR cinematics? And everyone wanted that lego battlepack for the cool old republic troopers. Republic Commando was the coolest shit too and everyone loved the katarn class armor and debating what kind of damage it could survive. The fan channel TVC wave with the clone commander, plo koon, old Anakin, feels like a lineup from TAC or Legacy Collection. And the SDCC Anakin and Ventress set is like the realistic style line of figures they did for 2003 CW, only better. They even showed a vehicle with the AT-RT which used to be very common back then but not as much now.I wish I could go back to that time :(
>>11779989damn it I forgot the picture
>>11779989I unfortunately missed out on a lot of that because from 99 to 04 I wasn't really buying toys anymore. It wasn't until Revenge of the Sith came out I bought a VotC Boba Fett and a green jedi starfighter that I got casually back into it.
>>11776653>>11776654Sold out in a day.
>>11780110Chuds bought them all to own trannies, woke mob, etc.
>>11780110Actually seems more like sideshow potentially pulled it on their end. They deleted the posts of her on their instagram and figures don’t sell out at sideshow normally, they go to waitlist. Hot Toys hasn’t deleted or pulled anything though.
>>11779718Good news, that happened almost 20 years ago, and last I looked these guys aren't horribly priced on ebay
>>11780170It was a limited quantity thing, so it's no surprise if they pulled it. Can't sell what you don't have and there'd be no waitlist to go onto.>>11780174I'd love to have some updated ones
>>11780231Stormtroopers need the hip replacement update, but scout troopers REALLY need a full replacement....
>>11779370>>11779867>>11779511Glad everyone came in to educate the uncultured swine."There might be hope for you after all"
>>11780057Damn, people really been collecting in here for a very long time. I barely just started my collection
>>11780317Why bother? You'll never be able to buy anything. It's all too expensive.
any chance of the nihilus/ traya two pack getting back in stock or should i just accepts that it's over
>>11780396That is very very true, I'm just currently buying favorites it's gonna be a small collection nothing too crazy.
>>11780471Bro?
pipe dream figures for you?>tvc dagan gera with swappable force arm, regular arm and nub plug, and his original pre bleed sabers just for fun
>>11780600KOTOR mandalorians

>>11780600Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma two pack in either scale.>>11780630Also this. Kotor Sith Troopers too.

>>11780647Dang bro sorry to hear that.
A great sorrow has fallen over the star wars collecting community. For hasbro has not long left to finish the line satisfactorily, with every essential character represented
>>11780859What's the nothingburger this time?
>>11780896Hasbro and Disney are no longer making sequel toys. So no updated Kylo Rens, Finn, or Poe with face print tech and updated bodies or any of the background characters. Toy companies finally amdmitted sale were shit for sequel toys after the first movie. Disney coming to terms with this. Merchandising was a big part of the purchase from Lucas and it failed to deliver with KK at the helm. Mando and Feloni is actually what kept SW afloat in merchandising.
>>11780647Well Anon, maybe you should stop buying toys for a bit and save your money so you can move to a better place.
>>11780960>So no updated Kylo Rens, Finn, or Poe with face print tech and updated bodies or any of the background charactersBut that's a good thing? The previous comment made it sound like Hasbro was going to stop making Star Wars toys.Anyway I doubt they will NEVER make a single sequel fig in the future. We'll probably get a Kylo or something eventually. The movies are still canon. And also they aren't the only problem because we can get another Acolyte at any time with another glut of pegwarmers to acompany it. Even Mando stuff doesn't sell now. So even if they never make sequel merch again, they will keep making stuff for other shows and movies that are shit and it won't sell just the same.
>>11780960Meh, the only loss on our part would be a kylo ren/Ben solo figure, of which, I think, a comprehensive "one Ren to rule them all" WOULD sell.Specifically, a deluxe figure with soft goods outer coat, soft plastic hood and shawl thingy, two of each helmed and unhelmed heads (one clean, the other scarred/rebuilt), a soft plastic cape, and his lightsaber (plus hilt), of course. To further justify the deluxe, add in the melted bader helm, and the exigol wayfinder.In both BS and TVC.Personally, an updated articulation First Order trooper could also do well enough, and you can kind of also do a deluxe version in a similar fashion; has every gear a FO trooper had (pauldron, ammo harness, energized baton, standard rifle, heavy rifle, pistol), a clean, normal helmet head, plus a fin head to be a character as well as an army builder, and maybe a blood streaked helmet head.They're definitely the best two characters of the sequels, and are at least toyetic, in my opinion.
I still want a TROS Palpatine just because I like his look
>>11780600I realized a while ago that there just aren't many characters in Star Wars that I like. Maybe there's some decent characters in EU, I only read through a fraction of it. But without actually seeing them in something visual, I'm not sure I care enough to want figures of them. Currently most of my favorite characters besides ones from the movies are from the Jedi games. So yeah TVC Dagan would be nice. I guess I'd want Caij Vanda more. I think her design is really cool.
>>11780997That's how I feel also, glad I've only been getting favorite's.I feel bad for people who wanna collect all of them that's gonna be so expensive.
>>11780960>Hasbro and Disney are no longer making sequel toysIs there a source for this?If this is true, then I don't think there is anything wrong with taking a break from under-performing toys. Its fine to take a break and focus on other stuff in the franchise. When they do make updated sequel figures (may be a while), then I'm sure it'll be worth the wait. Better figures of Kylo Ren, Finn, and Poe will then be welcome when they eventually do happen.
>>11780600I'd love that so much. I hate that we have pretty much zero villains from the game besides trooper variants. No Inquisitors, no Rayvis, no Dagan, no Bode. It really feels like a big chunk is missing from that game in TVC. Fuck I'd be so happy just to get some Bedlam Raiders or Haxion Brood hunters. The third game is going to be out this year supposedly and we still won't even have a JFO Cal or his main villains in the line. Sucks.>>11780997This would also be great to get but I've pretty my much accepted that the only way to ever have her will be with a custom. Unless she shows up in some show down the line as a main character.
>>11781212They're down to single jointed knees and elbows now. What will they be in a few years? No boot cuts, thigh cuts or wrist swivels? I mean who needs a wrist swivel when you can swivel at the elbow right? Same reason they don't need bicep cuts.
>>11781212>Is there a source for this?Umm... Your eyes? When was the last time they made a sequel figure?
>>11781287NTA, but they randomly made Finn a while ago. Literally everybody was like y tho lol
>>11781238Well to be fair, they're adding bicep swivels now.
>>11778399Why are him and Marrok suddenly some of the coolest motherfuckers in Maul? Both of them were defeated by Ahsoka in single combat right?I get that Maul has faulty legs in his series but these guys weren’t far behind. They were comparable and in some points pushing him back. Also Marrok was even hunting him with the Force Echo psychometry thing.[spoiler]It’s legit the first time in years that I watched something that truly felt like Star Wars to me bros. It’s like there was a dying part of me yearning to have these lightsaber duels with dark armored guys back
>>11781348>Also Marrok was even hunting him with the Force Echo psychometry thing.Great literally everyone has this rare force power now. Nah not watching filoni slop
>>11781353It’s common now?!
>>11781348Bc Dark souls armor
>>11781355They fly now?!
>>11780600I bought this Dirge figure after watch the Gendi Clone Wars series. Been waiting on a Black Series of it forever. With White grievious being made, my hopes are pretty high. A two pack with clone armored Obi Wan with the long Jesus hair on the new clone body would be perfect.
>>11781365That IS cool
>>11781381>human flesh armsWhat in tarnation
>>11781403I think it was a case of the figure being made early, so they didn't know or learned too late. They fixed it for the deluxe bike figure.
>>11781348>It’s legit the first time in years that I watched something that truly felt like Star Wars to me bros. It’s like there was a dying part of me yearning to have these lightsaber duels with dark armored guys backhow much is the mouse paying you?
>>11781403All of those figures were produced well in advance of the actual character debut. They were running on concept art. That whole Clone Wars wave was a kitbash festival of weird toyetic stuff. It was honestly kind of refreshing.
>>11781507Nothing. But I’m not gonna argue if my standards got lower over the decade.I’m a starving man in a desert that most of my childhood franchises got infiltrated by retards or borderline died out (pic related, they KNEW this was a bad idea and it shows since they didn’t put this fucker in any trailers until near end). By this point it doesn’t take much water for me to enjoy something.Seriously the only sci-fi series I can praise for going beyond the original is [spoiler]Blaster Master Zero.[/spoiler] Ironic considering that series was the one that struggled and got a really good comeback.
>>11781707It's too bad but also surprising to me that there isn't a substitute for Star Wars. There is nothing quite like it. I just filled the void with anime and my own space fantasy worldbuilding project but it's not the same feeling as how it used to feel to be a star wars fan. Even if something new comes along that is similar, it's limited content will not compare to the decades of lore star wars had and you would consume it quickly and be left starving again
Question for anyone that has the figures or if multiple anons can help me figure this one out.Would it be possible to headswap tvc night sister merrin onto Reva's body? do they share the same neck joint or is it updated on merrin?
>>11781715Agreed
I genuinely don't understand why you guys just don't ignore the Disney and sequel shit and just enjoy the franchise as if that stuff never existed. That's what I do and I'm not nearly as much of a pessimist about it. Does it bum me out to see that the Star Wars toy section is basically nothing now? Yeah. But I can still get enjoyment out of the parts of the franchise I originally fell in love with. Not sure why so many of you would rather just bitch and moan and cry about how you don't like the new shit. Just fucking ignore it.
>>11781803It's not that it's hard to ignore, but rather, it's hard NOT to lament what could have been.
>>11781792or if you have a merrin or reva, could you get some photos of their neck pegs, or whatever way the head pegs on please (though dont stress or pull things off for me if that isnt something you normally do, I wouldnt want someone risking stress or breakage for this)
>>11781792>>11781822Nevermind, I thought reva's neck was all bodysuit deco rather than skin (it isnt)no headswapping for me
>>11781824I believe it's black plastic, so you can cut, sand, or scrape away the flesh paint.
>>11779867>>11780251I knew the differences between the Dark Troopers, I just wouldn't trust random eBay sellers to list them as anything other than what their packages say. I also was not aware there was a Droid BAF for it, the only ones of those I ever went for were C3PX and HK47ty tho
what phase are these guys
>>11781803>Make a Star wars thread for /toy>Complains about the recent Disney stuff.>Can't grow the fuck up and accept it.I honestly feel that Disney Star wars is a mixed bag it's not perfect but oh my goodness these people think Disney Star wars was bad all because of that sequel trilogy.Few things from the era were alright but are always foreshadowed by the bad stuff that left people in poor taste.I honestly 100 percent believe that few of these people are part of that fandom menace bullshit that I think ruined the series for real casual fans.Disney was the victim as the fandom menace was the true enemy to the franchise.i don't fucking care if somebody argues me with this.I believe /toys has the most pathetic cesspool morons who can't accept anything even if the company has gone to shit.>Hasbro >McFarlane ToysYet y'all make threads for these companies and y'all complain.How about stop and never touch these companies again.
>>11782039I just pick and choose my headcanon at this pointDark Forces series happenedMandalorian is integrated into Heir to the Empire timelineAhsoka happenedThe Yuu Zhan Vong are en route
>>11782039>>11782105Honestly I don't think there was every a time when I liked 100% of Star Wars content, there was always something I found stupid and didn't engage with. Nothing's changed except that the bad parts are more visible than before. Even that's not a huge difference since a lot of the same people who now praise Lucas spent years shitting on the prequels and insisting they didn't count. It doesn't matter. I buy figures of the stuff I like and ignore the ones I don't. It's tiring watching people scream at each other of this crap.
>>11782109They gave me a good Kyle and Mara in 6" scale so I really can't complain anymore. My list is complete. I bought too many Mandalorians and they've outworn their welcome. Lots will be sold at a loss.
Damn! Devon Izara looks like THAT?!
Eleventh brother is the first time I think I've ever seen a toy based on a modern Star Wars thing sell out everywhere. One more very good sign for Shadow Lord's reception.
>>11782549He was on sale for a few weeks on Amazon, I was able to get him for $17Still depressing that that's considered a sale price these days
>>11782039>foreshadowedI don't think that word means what you think it means.
Why would you EVER pay full price for Star Wars shit?
>>11782039>these people think Disney Star wars was badBecause it is.
>>11780977>Anyway I doubt they will NEVER make a single sequel fig in the futureI just want a TVC L3-37 or a Black Series EV-9D9 so I can pose the latter torturing the former
>>11780977>The movies are still canonlol, no
>>11782729A TVC L3 probably won't ever happen, so you'll probably just have to settle for the Force Link version instead. Then you can torture it for being a stinky 5 POA figure as well.
>>11782768They're never retconning them, no matter how much you want them to
>>11782787I mean that was kind of the point, but I would like a properly articulated version for creative posing. A 6" EV-9D9 seems more likely than a TVC L3, but they'd be completely out of place with all my other Star Wars figures.
>>11780977"pride" in anal sex, fuck this world.
>>11782787Fuck this retarded feminist shit
>>11782768>Wahh the sequels are so bad that imma pretend they don't exist because I'm a dumb ass.I've seen this shit over and over and it needs to fucking stop.im so tried of seeing sequel slander by saying "their are only six star wars movies and "what sequels" just because something is bad doesn't mean you can't erase them from history.They're gonna exist you can't do nothing about it.I honestly think that the force awakens should've ended on a cliffhanger instead of making episode 8 and 9 do we won't deal with how this fandom became how it is because now people still won't shit up over saying"why the sequels failed" like we get it please move on and stop beating a dead horse.also the fandom menace is a literal grifter cesspool,fuck them they're fake fans.>>11782641If universal had Star wars,then maybe we won't be in the "Disney ruined Star wars" bullshit.i hope the fandom menace dies when Disney goes bankrupt I'm sorry I hate this fandom to my literal heart.i enjoyed star wars as a kid but seeing this bullshit y'all saying makes me think that Star wars overstayed it's welcome and I feel that.i will still enjoy Star wars but mainly the older stuff as a don't have any interest in the modern stuff.im just a average person.
>missed a cheap power of the force mousedroid on ebay>dragged my feet on it for days like an idiotPain, agony. We need an imp astromech with a mousedroid so they're easy to get.
>>11782639No Ross in my area carries SW figures. Ollies does but they're all old figures
I honestly like these new troopers a lot more than I should. I have really warmed up to the AT-RT Driver design and the mix of armor on the new Stormie feels just right. I am glad Hasbro finally figured out how to properly weather figures again too. A lot of their past attempts were really rough.>>11780647Russian? If so, I am sorry brother.
>>11783076>"You need to stop whining about the sequel trilogy! Your in the wrong if you do!">Whines about 'the fandom menace'You made yourself too obvious, shill. Silent complacency is why SW is in the position that it is, and silently hoping for change won't do jack shit. RoS barely had a wave of figures, and we've only had ONE singular sequel figure since, so it seems like that 'evil fandom menace!' is the answer, "average person that just happens to hate Disney's critics, and doesn't hate their biggest blunders".... :/
>>11783076>sequel slanderLol get the fuck out of here and never come back. You lost.
>gather things together since may 4th to go together>it's all here bar some things in the week>one thing over a week away because the seller is building a trebuchet to deliver it rather than the basic postal optionI have my little box of guys out to go with their new additions begging to be released, do I wait for the last bits or proceed to having fun?
Why do people get so mad over someone else liking/disliking something?
>>11783598Autism
>>11783600It's like it's setting off folks' RSD and they enter fight mode over it
>>11783239I'm not a shill you ass butt.Go cry to your Mommy.>>11783378No u
>>11783598This is the way
>>11783076>They're gonna exist you can't do nothing about it.
>>11783598Because people "liking" this shit is why it's so bad now
>>11783716Yeah Star Wars is a prime example of why you need to gatekeep and what happens if you don't. >>11783598It's kind of hard to ignore when you got pushed out of something that meant a lot to you and now you have to watch it be desecrated by the people that pushed you out. It is very frustrating to see """fans""" who got into Star Wars with the sequels or mandalorian act like they know better than real fans
>>11783744This is so fucking embarrassing to read. Just fucking ignore these "fans". Why even give them the time of day? Oh they think they (ow better? Who fucking cares? I won't lie, the people whining about Star Wars being ruined are getting just as annoying and embarrassing as the fake fans that pretend to enjoy Disney slop.
>>11783744>Yeah Star Wars is a prime example of why you need to gatekeep and what happens if you don't.Disney was going to make it anyway. What are you even talking about? Star Wars is one of the biggest IP's on the planet and Disney completely fucked it up. How can you even gatekeep Star Wars? No one cares about the ST and it's completely forgotten about in 2026. What Disney did for their "trilogy" was tragic, but it's not like the mouse wasn't going to cram it down out throats anyway. They aren't doing anything ST related and it's been 10 years since the Force Awakens. Take it as a win Anon. Even they know it was a failure as and endless money maker when the PT is making money hand over fist, after the backlash it got 20 - 30 years ago.
>>11783744>"""fans""" who got into Star Wars with the sequels or mandalorianAnon, we both know these people don't exist.
>>11783818I wish the fandom was dead.i wish George didn't sell it to Disney,I wish the prequels weren't made,I wish the original trilogy wasn't given the special edition treatment,I wish the 1977 film bombed,I wish star wars never existed.Star Wars was a one of the biggest franchises at its time and I feel that when Hollywood and studio companies refuse to let a franchise end on a high note they make installments nobody asked for and we can't get anything original.George had his own idea for a sequel trilogy even when he still owned his ip and when he sold it to Disney he trusted Disney to do it,they did they're own thing and here where we are.We bullied George for his prequels and made us suffer with Disney because we couldn't accept anything that came out after the original trilogy.We fans are the reason star wars is like this and it's our fault.If none of y'all like Star wars anymore,than stop making SW threads for /toys it's not worth it and it's a waste of time.
>>11783228I got the remnant stormtrooper with the pauldron, kicks ass
>>11778436this and satele's face not looking so hot is a big phat monkeypaw.
>>11782105>The Yuu Zhan Vong are en routeThey are called the Grishka now.
>>11784265I just got done reading Outbound Flight for the first time and I feel like the Grysk are really just a more nuanced version of the Vagaari (though they also exist in current canon).
>>11784265>Grishka
>>11783228>>11783992I got one as well and I love it. I really liked the sandtrooper too so I think I just have a thing for weathered troopers. But I actually like this more than the sandtrooper since the armor on that was a more yellow ish while this is more of a bone white. I don't have the standard stormtrooper anymore but that one always felt a little boring to me. Crazy how much more character a simple pauldron and dirty armor adds even though it's the exact same sculpt. I don't like customizing so I hope hasbro makes more weathered troopers like clones or a new remnant scout trooper on a new body would be sick.
Are we getting a 3.75 TVC version? I'm getting sick and tired of this black series bullshit
>>11784492Be grateful 3.75 still gets anything.
>>11784341>>11783992The details really pop with all the dirt and grime on the new Imperial Remnant Stormtroopers . It also feels more OT in that way, since the universe always had that same grimy feel.
>>11783228I've been loving all of the troopers for TM&G that I've got in TVC so far. Granted the Snowtrooper was already a solid figure so throwing a new head on that one was an easy win but the AT-AT and AT-RT Drivers are both really cool too. Probably gonna pick up the Remnant Stormtrooper pack in a month or two. What an amazing concept it is to have toys out before the media to help build hype.
>>11782549>>11782578Genius idea to make those jobbers legitimately cool
>Mando is getting shit on hardGrogu killed Star Wars again, lol.
>>11782639>Americans can get this shit for 4 dollars>Even when shit doesn't sell in the UK, the price never goes downI don't want to ever hear Americans say they have it hard.
>>11785249>>11785250oof
>>11784492When the economy tanks we'll go back to 3.75 standard like we did in 2008.
>>11785509What are you talking about? 3.75 was already standard for Star Wars in 2008. It is not standard now because both scales cost Hasbro almost the same to make yet 1/12 has a higher profit margin so they choose to focus on that. Collector tastes have changed too with most favoring bigger figures and 3.75 collectors are a minority. So 3.75 has a higher likelihood of being killed off completely than becoming standard. Even if your imaginary scenario magically happens, they will cost $30-40 and no one will buy them.
>>11785572But everything else started to go 3.75 as well. Marvel started focusing on that scale with the Universe line and movie tie ins. Movie franchises started releasing in that scale (Avatar, Terminator Salvation, Star Trek, etc). G.I. Joe was making the pivot from Sigma Six scale back to 3.75 as well.
Hot Toys continuing to be absolutely fucking based
>>11785585>back to 3.75What was the scale before that? Or was it random sizes? Didn't Kenner basically pioneer 3.75"?
>>11785619>What was the scale before that?If you're asking specifically about Joes, Sigma Six was an 8" toyline to begin with and then started doing vehicles released with the smaller scaled figures.>Didn't Kenner basically pioneer 3.75"?Sort of. When they first pitched the line internally, the designers were asked how big would the people be and someone held out their fingers spaced apart and said "about this big" and someone came up and measured it to be 3.75". When they went on to building prototypes, they famously used figures from Fisher-Price's Adventure People as the base to make Luke Skywalker because they happened to be the same scale and have similar articulation.
>>11783598What this guy>>11783744 said.For example, there are people who like the prequels, cgi shows like CW or Rebels or the disney stuff more than the ot. I think everything other than the ot is shit. I can't stand the animation style of the cgi shows. I kinda like AOTC and ROTS as supplementals but to say they're well written films or anywhere near the quality of the ot is retarded. I do like the EU stuff before the prequels came out.
>>11784341mine didnt come with an SE-14r pistol wtf
>>11785612>disney shit>basedmost obvious shill I've ever seen
>>11781381Was just thinking of a Black Series Dirge myself last night. God this figure brings back good memories. It was one of the toys I dreamt about until I got it from my grandparents with the Hailfire Droid. One of my favorite Christmas memories.
>DirgeFake fans can't even spell his name.
>>11785619>>11785695In the 60s and 70s, 1/6 scale was the norm. G.I. Joe, Action Man, Big Jim, and the Million Dollar Man to name a few. Basically following the Barbie business model but rebranding as action figures so boys would buy them. Kenner saw the potential for merchandizing vehicles for Star Wars, but to do them in 1/12 scale wasn't feasible. The head of the project did, in fact, hold his fingers at a random size and 3.75 became their scale.In the 80s, Hasbro followed suit with G.I. Joe to directly compete with Star Wars and due to the expense of producing 1/12 scale products.
>>11786245>not sure if retarded or just pretending to be
>>11786060It doesn't come with one, I 3d printed it
Anyone keeping up with the MGS line? I just picked up a bunch. New ROTJ A WingAT-DPCloud CarTie Bomber and Clone Wars Y WingWould like to see a T-16 Skyhopper, a V-35 Land Speeder maybe a big Sandcrawler or Khatana.I wanna see more EU stuff too like an accurate Dark Empire E WingV Wing Air speederTie DroidSOTE shipsThe OutriderSentinel Landing CraftViragoThe Gun Boat from X Wing to go with the Tie Defender. A T-85 X Wing.Do you guys still collect? What do you want to see?
>>11786862I just got the RotJ A-Wing to replace my inaccurate one. Glad to have that updated. Other than the Outrider, I'm pretty solid on the collection. I have all the OT and PT era stuff I really want. I never grabbed an ATST. I should probably grab one.
>>11786869I just got the RotJ A-Wing to replace my inaccurate one. Glad to have that updatedSame, I was happy to see they were willing to make an accurate A Wing, so my hope is we get an accurate DE E Wing sculpt instead of the chase paint version that uses the Disney series design.>I never grabbed an ATST. I should probably grab one.They seem to keep releasing new versions of it every year I think so it shouldn't be too hard or expensive for you to get one. The newer ones look better too imo, I grabbed two during the initial release and ended up finding the Raider as well, plus my Action Fleet one, so I have a little AT-ST Battalion. The one that's a real pain for me to get is the B Wing. It's going for $60.00 roughly min right now. It needs a rerelease.
>>11786862I've only purchased what I find on sale for a good discount. It's highly unlikely but I'd like to see a reissue of Sabine's custom painted TIE fighter as a standard release.
So those mando hallways are fun, and between may 4th and the movie coming stores and people have been getting rid of mando stuff for low prices so my stormies now have hallways and something to shoot at.
>>11787780
>>11787780>>11787781Damn anon, your making me covet the hallway and turret.... Damn I want one of those privateers ...Also, I bought a Koska, but to my dismay, she has these grey splotches in her armor.... I wanted her because she has all blue armor ... X.X
>>11786431This is the coolest Star Wars has ever been btw
why haven't they been milking mando stuff for the movie? Thought they would release all the ships and shit. It just has a very small set up at a local store. I know stuff is way different today, but still kinda sad.
>>11788061>but still kinda sad.That's Star Wars in a nutshell. The movie is apparently terrible, and Hasbro is still struggling to make any money off Star Wars merch and failing. They can't take risks anymore.
>>11788071The time between Ep3 and the Clone Wars animated series now seems like a golden age of star wars collecting in retrospect. It's like as soon as Disney took over, the toyline took a major hit in selection, quality, and availability and is only recently recovering.Kind of similar to how the first years of Hasbro taking over Marvel Legends went. A few years of bad sculpts and terrible Y hips.
>>11788061Disney have always given hasbro and lego so little to work with pre-release (that in turn caused blunders or inaccurate releases) citing leak potential, which is funny because I think the second or third disney wars movie had its entire script leak online before release. But all of that and the years of shelf warming and disney dictating what gets made to hasbro and declining sales, stores are hesitant to take on sw stuff now I think, certainly feels like it. Disney stuff has also been tragic at incorperating marketable designs bar mando, and right now stores and collectors are trying their hardest to move mando stock that has been sitting around. Ill omens aplenty. (But very good deals to be had with things priced to clear)
>>11788061They seem to be playing it safe with the merch this time, yeah there's still a lot of it but the rollout is muted compared to previous movies. I think Disney is trying not to go too hard on the marketing or even the budget for the movie in case it's a flop. That might save it from potentially being a Solo-level disaster since they clearly put a lot more money into Solo.
>>11788071And yet they made those retarded ass toys that continue to rot on shelves; who wants those 1' tall mando figures?? The 5" scale figures?? Bro just stick to the fucking 3.75" and 6" lines that you have BEEN selling!!!
>>11788099To be fair, I think it was the same on pre-release for Prequel era toys. I believe the Kelloggs cereal Mace Windu and a battle droid with a STAP were the only pre-release figures before the main Phantom Menace line released.
>>11788207Oh, also the pod race announcer figure in the mainline had heads based on early production concepts where they were going to superimpose actor's heads on a cgi body.
>>11788207>>11788208
>>11788099David Prowse infamously leaked the plot twist to Empire Strikes Back in 1978 and was permanently barred from every appearing at conventions without a Lucasfilm handler keeping a muzzle on him

DO IT JAZWARES
>>11788438Realistically how do they even handle this? Do they just make the main pod itself without the sail like Lego did? Do they compromise on the size of the sail like the old Action Fleet one? Even if they make the sail out of foldable vinyl or something they'd still need to include really long rods to hold it in place.
>>11788445The sail could be 8 peices that peg together with there own stand, then some string to connect the pod to the sails and the pod has its own stand aswell. The string probably wouldnt be as complicated as the real thing, maybe just two Y shaped strings.
I would kill for capital ship Micro Galaxy Squadron
>>11788463would you even have space for it?
>>11788466I don't need exact scale, just a model that's a foot long or so with panels to open inside like a cross section
>>11788445>>11788454I figure if they do it at all it'll just be like Lego and not include the sail at all since there's basically no good solution that doesn't make the sail either really weird looking or ridiculously undersized. Whatever solution they'd go with would have to seriously compromise on the size since an actual properly scaled sail would be like 5 feet long.
>you now remember acolyte toysI had never seen modern star wars stuff go on sale so fast (until skeleton crew stuff releasing to what felt like sale prices before I had even seen it)
>>11788489It's a shame because that show was good and pretty popular too. If I knew there was gonna be more of it, I'd definitely be interested in getting the toys.
>>11788425Damn. Pics?
>>11788438Never understood how this thing works? There's no air in space.
>>11788716see:>>11788711nah they're just cluttering up space on my bedroom's closet shelves, they're not set up in an photogenic way or anythingI'd like to get more, but I've got, at most, space for one or two more and I want to make hold off until it's something I NEED (like a 6th Y-wing)
>>11788716Solar wind, it's an actual concept though a real solar sail would have to be incredibly wide in order to move at a fast speed
Picked up the sparkle dog mandalorian with her awoo, and I'm a bit bummed that she has no jetpack :((It's OK, I have a spare from a Din that I accidentally broke. It'll be a little bit big on her, but it should work)Gonna add some holsters to the doggy saddle, as well.Also picked up baby carrier droid, and my head cannon is that it's a droid made to carry and protect the baby, rather than piloted by it (the controls don't actually do anything, they're just there to entertain the baby).
>>11788933>he bought disney shit
>11788987Anon, you are constantly wrong about what comes from which era, nobody cares what you think.
>>11788933Oh also forgot to mention that I got the baby carrier from Ross for $7, which is lucky, because I had resisted the urge to previously buy it from a second hand place for $15.
>>11789005Yeah, I grabbed that, a dark trooper, 2 mandalorian super commandos, k2s0, and thrawn for 5 each. Ross is pretty great for random star wars figures.
>>11789010Damn that's a good haul! I'm assuming over a few runs? Still good, regardless. I've seen some anons pick up the turret storm trooper deluxe set, which I'm totes envious of.
>>11789018It was actually one day, but 2 locations. I saw those stormtrooper sets a couple years ago during the christmas season and got a few of them. But I think my favorite figure from Ross was the season 1 IG-11. His limbs have become a little loose from how much fun he is to pose.
>>11786862It's one of my favorite lines. I have almost all standard releases. Collected it where it was first announced since I have been dying for an action fleet sort of revival. That was my main toy line as a kid.I ended up spending way too much money and not having the space for it all so I usually display in rotation based on era. I also toned down the clone wars since I didnt want to buy doubles. So I focus on Empire for army building. But lately with the mando moving coming out and the mando-centric releases, I got a mando display atm. I got that fuckass AT-AT coming in later from the movie.
>>11788466The only way to do is have a separate line where the capital ships are somewhat scale with each other but not the other ships.
>>11789481I am more than willing to accept those termsif I could do it with micro machines and armada, I could do it with bigger and better toys
>>11789188Oh yeah, I love my IG-11 as well, which is the only reason I even considered the baby carrier. I really wish they'd make an IG-88 with this updated sculpt. I do plan on getting the sheriff version, maybe...I'm enjoying this awoo, btw, really scratched that creature itch that I've been missing with star wars.
I want
>>11789410Pro tip, with some self-adhesive zip-tie cable mounts and fishing line you can turn your ceiling into a display for your smaller vehicles.>>11789554Creatures are always cool. I'll often get an old PotF2 mount or Ep2 Arena beast if I see one at a thrift or used toy shop.
>>11789685This reminds me of that custom someone made combining a commando droid and an IG-86 to look like Scud the disposable assassin.
>>11788704>that show was goodlol, fuck no
>>11790764kys
>>11790952NTA, but yeah, that's about what I'd expect from someone who says Acolyte is "good and popular"... Literal delusions. Terrible casting, terrible acting, terrible dialogue, terrible story, the blandest toys (I paid $5 for both black girls and trinity, I only got each to use as generic mechanic, generic assassin, and generic Jedi, and even then I'm only satisfied, unlike how much I've enjoyed more recent pick ups), the only good thing I've heard about it is the fight choreography.It wasnt popular, either, because it famously pulled shit numbers, so you are demonstrably wrong on all accounts.What's funny is I was recently reflecting on how toyetic Ahsoka ended up being, because the inquisitors are decent bad guy figures, the HK droids are still cool droids, zombie troopers are just trooper variants, and Thran makes for a different imperial officer (even if they butchered his character, of which you can also pretend the toy represents the original work), and old man bad guy plus his sugar baby gf look decent.Hell the E-wing is a solid ship, and I've already mentioned how much I liked the howler mount.
>>11790975I can get on board with the idea that the acolyte figures are dropping lower and lower at Ross and I can use Jedi characters for customs, droids for making battle damaged background props, and characters I don't like to be bullied by other characters in displays/photos. Like, they're getting as low as 2.50 for acolyte figures already in my area.
>>11791110>characters I don't like to be bullied by other characters in displays/photos30+ year old man btw
>>11789685What is this? It does looks great.
This guy came in. I canceled him From hasbro because I didn't want to pay their high shipping but they were too quick. I have another on order from bbts which I'll probably keep to resell one of these someday.
kek its over for this homosexual franchise
>>11791320It took what, 15 years? That's a good time since everything Star Wars since Disney bought the franchise was utter shit. And no, Andor wasn't good.
>>11791301They're in the new wave of blind boxes from Blokees. They have an AT-RT too.
>>11791554I liked it.
>>11791317when are they going to make a scout trooper without those horrible double joints
dead franchise.
>>11791320didnt they give the sequels 9-10s? kek
>>11791320>trusting rotten tomatoe scores as a metricThey haven't had any integrity since they started interference with unfavorable reviews.
Just out of curiosity, I was searching for Ben Skywalker action figures, and it seems like there was never made an official oneNot even before Disney bought the franchiseIs that true, they never made one?And yes, I mean Ben Skywalkerhttps://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Ben_Skywalker>>11791320Hottake, it could be betterAnd this>>11791864
>>11788489How much did it even got?3 action figures iircAnd they were released months later after the show aired, and suchWell, Acolyte fans are above them of course
>>11788489I got Squid Game dude on sale and the Sith guy but that's about it.
>>11791320>should have been a boba fett movie, rated r, featuring a ruthless, pissed off, half-eaten bounty hunter exacting revenge on those who put him in the sarlacc
ebay bringing the heat
>>11791868Nope. Jacen and Jaina got a few but never a Ben.
>>11791320Not saying the movie's going to succeed but "the critics don't like it" is historically not a great measure of how well a Star Wars movie will do
>>11791223>people who watched Star Wars media 30+ years ago are 30+ year old fansNearly fifty years old franchise supported by older fans btw.
>>11792335If paid shill "critics" can't even defend it then how will the average person having waste money on seeing the movie react?
>>11787839Hold strong anon, mando stuff is about to fall of a cliff price wise
>>11792335Don't be such an obvious shill. The movie is shit.

Is there any site where I can buy hands for these 3.75" figures? My Airborne Trooper lost his...
>>11793259Hmm, that's the old sculpt, right? I have an extra dinndjarin hand, and I think I have the same sculpt of clone, let me see if the spare works....
>>11793259Ok, its too big by default, but it looks like it can get trimmed to fit. But it would also be SLIGHTLY undersized.Hit me up if your interested, I'll send it to you for basically cost of shipping.
>>11793259Cheapest option is probably to get the cheapest clone trooper you can find on ebay and steal its hand. I think anything from the 2002 releases to pre-disney TVC should generally have the same wrists.
I think I prefer the original Nihilus over the upcoming 2 pack version, anyone else feel this way
>>11793603You're absolutely trying too hard.
How are vintage Padme and Shaak Ti?
I'm glad Mando and Groglet is going to bomb
Mental illness
Does the George Lucas head fit onto the nu-Thrawn body?
>>11793889also where's the cheapest place to get a nu-Thrawn
>>11793897yeah and I want a two pack of Prowse and James Earl Jones with lightsabers and Jedi robes it's just not very likely
>>11793654I've been waiting years for a good padme, and this one was almost perfect. Soft plastic cape has its pros and cons vs a soft goods, so that will never be truly perfect (unless they included both). Only point against it is her butt sculpt could've been better, but it also could've been worse.I liked it a lot, and the only other downside is the $20 price tag, so if you can get it for less than that, I'd say shoot.Don't have Shak-ti, but it looks good, and it also looks kike it is peg warning, so I'ma wait for it to show up at Ross lol
>>11793892ebay
>>11792332Weird...
>>11793892Ross
>>11788987faggot
>>11793654Fantastic. The lack of wrist hinges is probably the biggest negative, especially on Shaak Ti. Padme has an amazing portrait, it's scary how much she looks like a miniature person.
>>11794274You're not making negative comments though, you're just spamming and trolling with the same uncreative bullshit phrases. It’s annoying so just fuck off. A lot of us here couldn’t care less about Disney shit but still enjoy the toys and want to talk about them without you shitting up the thread with your “REEEE SHILL MOUSE KEK” garbage spam.
Not to the extent of the original movies but I still like Maul and Mandalorian. (Maul in particular because oof it finally feels like we got something more inline with the old Star Wars even if it’s lacking some aspects)I think the biggest issue with the Mandalorian movie is that people are done. It has been a decade with them missing more than hitting, screwing the few good ideas they had along the way. Mandalorian at its worst isn’t as bad as the other stuff they dished out but nobody has in them to care.And I can’t blame them. It doesn’t feel like a movie more like some start of a new season they had to repurpose. It’s like they realized they got nothing and had to use something and this is all they had any confidence at.
>>11794437this, i like cool toys!!
>>11794527Yeah I didn't think the movie was bad but it does feel like it could've just been a Disney+ special presentation like they do with Marvel stuff. Honestly it feels like that's what they were going to do and then decided to make it theatrical since it really does feel like it was shot for the small screen, and Favreau definitely knows how to shoot for the big screen.
Amazon has some good deals. I got the security Droid and droideka for 35 bucks.
>>11794819>I didn't think the movie was badWell you're a retard shill.
>>11795231>shill shill shillweren't you banned?
>>11794527Honestly doesn't help that even by the end of S3, Mando felt pretty done as a series. The best they can do is bring him in for future appearances, like a dark horse character.
Is the Black Series Shin Hati any good, or am I better off waiting for Hasbro to take another crack at her come Season 2?
>>11795446I got her on clearance because I liked her actress, haven't seen the show. I doubt they'll do another.
>>11794903I wish it wasn’t a 2 pack, I don’t really want the droideka
>>11794819Pretty much>>11795445This too. I have my issues with S3 like anyone else but by the end of it there isn’t much to do with the mandalorians as a whole. They got a settlement outside among common people, their planet back and their tribes unified.
>>11795297Weren't you? Shill.
Things from the movie I want figures of:-Rotta-the two big droid guards that had the cool stop motion feel to themThings from the movie I don't want figures of:-everything else
>>11796584Wait I forgot Embo's in this, I do want an Embo but just because I liked him in TCW, he was pretty meh in the movie
>>11796584They were stop motion. They decided to do a combination of cgi and practical effects in this movie to make it feel a little more like OT.
>>11796659Oh neat, I liked the way they turned out
>>11794819According to what Filoni and Favreau have said, they were writing season 4 when Disney told them they wanted a movie instead, and they had to come up with something that A. could work as a one-off adventure and didn't require the audience to have watched the show and B. didn't require a huge budget like the other movies. In that sense I don't fault them for making what is essentially a 2 hour filler episode, but at the same time it feels like they really could've used this opportunity to develop Mando and Grogu more. A big part of the movie's problem is that there aren't really any meaningful stakes for them (yeah there's the part with the poison but that gets neatly resolved without any further repercussions), almost like they were treating the movie and show audiences as mutually exclusive and felt they couldn't do anything that would've affected the characters beyond the movie.
>>11796584It’s weird how they made Mando’s armor so bland. I know it’s meant to symbolize he is fully decked out in pure(r) beskar but between the lack of any markings or funny sticks on the helmed it just feels boring.Even clone troopers that just modify plastoid armor to put the eyes on their helmets feel more mandalorian than his.This is sided with really dumb ideas like:>establishing the beskar spear can penetrate beskar (meaning it was better than the darksaber)>melting said spearSeriously at least the spear gave him some unique weapon that felt “hunter”-like.
>>11796659On top of that they were done by Phil Tippett himself
>>11791320All they had to do was put the same old AT-AT everyone knows. No they didnt they pull a shitty variation fuck this.
>>11796685Yeah this is why I liked his original armor better than the upgrade. He should've painted it once he got his signet, to establish his "clan colors" :/I also agree on the spear acquisition; it should've been spaced out better, so he goes from rifle with bayonet, to spear, to sword. But that would require competent writing, so double :/
>>11796659So much effort for a bomb nobody will care about in a week.
>>11796708I think the whole point of using the AT-RT and rebels style AT-AT was to emphasize that they were working with older tech because now remnants they're lacking imperial backing. Similar to how the OT rebel fighters looked to be whatever older beat up ships they could get their hands on.
What was the issue with this Tie anyway?
Something about stickers inside what is it ? It doesnt come with them or they putted them wrong or wtf?
>>11797020Stickers for anything besides screens sounds bad in and of itself, for that price point.
>>11796659That's pretty cool honestly. >>11796684I think if we'd gotten Season 4, it would've largely been the movie padded out. An episode with the imp warlord at the beginning, with added fluff in the rebel base. A couple of episodes on the crime planet with Rotta. Like in the film he finds Rotta within five minutes of landing. Would've been pretty easy to drag it ou. An episode dedicated to them finding/taking down the second imp warlord. In the film they literally just immediately turn up at his house and get him. Easy to pad that out.Et cetera.
I just finished playing Bounty HunterIs there a Vosa figure
>>11797240Nope. The only character from the game to get a figure (not counting Jango of course) is Montross, but even then he's based on his appearance in the prequel comic instead of the actual game
>>11796997The targeting computer didn't get the decal on the screen that it was supposed to have due to some kind of factory error.
>>11797292And they still never fixed it. Fucking ridiculous.
>>11797309I heard about this but was never super interested in buying it so I didn't research it any further, have they really done nothing at all to correct this? Not even sent out stickers or something?
Were there any remnant scout troopers in the movie? I want a new scout body…
>>11797588Nope. All of the Imperials in the film are the same ones you see in the trailers.
Movie seems to be doing Solo numbers, which is not great for a Star Wars movie but it also had a much lower budget which might save it from being a flop
I recently noticed that the pauldrons are flipped, so who made the mistake here? Hasbro? M&G?
>>11794819>Yeah I didn't think the movie was bad but it does feel like it could've just been a Disney+ special presentation like they do with Marvel stuff.That is what I thought watching it too. I kept thinking 'this would be the moment they cut to credits for the next episode' watching it.I thought it was pretty good, but it didn't feel like I was watching a movie. Don't think I want toys of anyone really. The mix-match of droid guards were cool.
>>11797783Nobody. The Snowtrooper Commander has flipped pauldrons as part of the costume design.
>>11797822Ah, I should have guessed as much.Ok, tangent rant; why are the snowtroopers so expensive? It got a single card release AND and army builder 4 pack, but they still demand like, $25+!?!? Is there really that much demand? They are pretty cool, so I guess...?
Can you assholes recommend where to get 3.75 inch yellow lightsabers?I'm not paying $10 for one
>>11797863Snip the guard off and there you go.
>>11797872Thanks man!! Good looking out
I need this
>>11791320Maybe we can stop getting mandoshit helmets and maybe get a Jango for once
>>11798205Jango was some of the worst parts of star wars
>not on BBTS Amazon or hasbro pulse for no reason just random unannounced exclusivity Yup I’m done with hasbro final straw right here. first figure I wanted in the past 2 years and you had to fuck it up
>>11798265Why not just buy it from target? It's still in stock.
>>11798265What >>11798379 said. It's been in stock for like a month. It even went on sale at one point. This is a nothing burger.
>>11798379>>11798477Damn it was just the black series figure from Target? I thought he was talking about some particular brand that's exclusive to bad dragon or some shit!Only the Vintage collection wave has been hard to find in stores....Nothing burger indeed :/
Kek. This brand is SO dead nobody has started a fresh bake for their current infomercial starring Puck from Alpha Flight and the Charisma-Vacuum brown bumboy DEI hire.
>wanted to get actionverse embo but amazon sold out before i could order himWhy is it getting harder to preorder anything in time anymore? Fuck this gay earth
What terrible reveals
>>11798548>newcuties freaking out about preorders to this dayWhen was the last time something from Hasbro Star Wars was actually hard to get? Besides the battle of mustafar which I'm still seething about but that was an SDCC exclusive at least. Like 98% of regular releases you can just get later
