TVC reveals from today's stream. Preorders open 5/28
Black Series reveals from today's stream. Preorders open 5/28
This wave will have first edition boxes again in stores. Sorry forgot to mention here >>11798675 they said the new Grogu will not have a preorder
>>11798672I swear every depiction of Mission outside the game look fucking awful.
I'm surprised the mando Snowtrooper comes with the classic helmet with mouth cover. I might actually get this then because I can't resist dirty troopers.But what the hell is going on with the kama? Is this ai slop? It's a plastic piece, no way it can move like that...
>>11798687Same thing on Embo. Some new photoshop deceptive fuckery? And when I finally thought they had stopped shopping out the pin joints on knees
>>11798690They might be hearing them up and then quickly posing them idk, doubt they would AI that
>>11798687>>11798690Photographer's just flipping them inside out.
Literally the worst batch of reveals in a while. Glad Flopalorian is going to ruin the franchise again.
>>11798723These are the best reveals ever! I loved Mandalorian and Grogu, it's perfect like all Disney Star Wars! You must love the yucky conservative Old Trilogy with its lack of feminism and diversity! Thank science that Disney finally made Star Wars progressive and anti-white!
>>11798675Wait a tick. Is that supposed to be the EU Battle Droid turned farmer? The one Rebel Moon ripped off? Sorry I don't follow SW like I used to.
are you guys vintage or black fans and buyers?
>>11798752Ah. Nevermind.>>11798678
>this is the best they can come up withPathetic.
>>11798771How come there are even characters left to make as a toy? Shouldn't at this point every third string extra have at least 3 toys?
>>11798762Vintage.I know the "shills!" Faggit will get triggered, but I actually like this wave, because I've been pining for that sand trooper from the three pack, and now I don't NEED to get the other two!Green twilek can work as a generic alien girl.I always love droids Alien bounty hunter looking dude seems cool, too!
>>11798695>>11798713I don't think you guys know how this kind of plastic works. Also the shape looks completely different in those pictures.>>11798762I get both but neither as much as I used to.
>>11798788>I don't think you guys know how this kind of plastic worksI don't think you do, retard.
>>11798790>sequel toyOof
>>11798788If Hasbro knew how to use AI, we would get better figures.
>>11798762i would love to just go all in on 3.75 but tbs has released more figures that i care about in the last ~7 years than tvc hasalthough i usually just get the ones i care about, which mostly comprise of jedi, sith, ayys, and droids
>>11798790And from the front? Maybe I'm wrong but something about the creases on their image does not look right.
>>11798791>t. I need to shift the focus away from my tremendous blunder by pointing out that you do own toys, and that is somehow a bad thing to do
>>11798675>black series got the b1 droid guyI was hoping tvc would get em, looks cool with the cloak and mask/helmet>no soft goods fot the b2's cloakThey're going to wait for a deluxe multipack to double dip arent they?
>>11798687I'm torn. I like Snowtroopers, and there are three mask options so that's great, but, man, I hate Black Series' articulation scheme.
>>11798813You owning sequel shit is a bad thing. You are scum of the earth.
>>11798829>t. I don't own any toys, and I'm a miserable cunt
>>11798827No better option unfortunately except maybe blokees
>>11798762I went to Black Series when the 3.75" started becoming 5POA. Then around 2022 I began buying TVC because the articulation was finally good enough and I was splitting my budget between the two lines pretty equally. Now I'm pretty much just TVC because BS kept raising prices and removing articulation without really giving much in terms of value. Plus TVC is a lot more fun with all the creatures, playsets, and vehicles.
>>11798687I actually don't have any Snowtroopers somehow, Imissed grabbing them during the ESB anniversary, so I'll grab one of this guy. I won't lie, the fact that you can mix and match helmets is really tempting to grab a second one as well.
>>11798879Ban evading is against the rules, you know...
>>11798863Yeah, no one with a better articulation set-up is gonna do a snowtrooper, and if they did they sure as hell wouldn't be at an armybuilder price.I may be able to wring some more range out of them, it works with Classified, it may be doable here.
>>11798914Yes maybe you should stop evading, shill
>>11798673Delicious
>>11798829>>11798862>>11798879>>11798914>>11798923Man, I LOVE how people insist that THIS is the TRUE thread instead of the other thread people cried out for. /TOY/ is dying faster than Star Wars!
>>11798673All of these make me happy. Embo and the B-2 droid are the standouts but I'm definitely buying the whole wave plus Zeb.
>>11798931Keep talking to yourself in your containment thread.
>>11798931Star Wars is pretty much dead going by this crap ass reveal today. Mando is bombing hard and they're going to be stuck shuffling off the product to Ollie's again.
>>11798672Mission Vao, the most developed 14 year old in the galaxy, with giant orangutan arms>>11798687>>11798690>>11798713Snowtrooper one looks very strange, there's folds and creases in the crouching kama that aren't in the standing pose. It almost looks like two swappable pieces.I've had two snowtroopers from black series and weirdly, one was thick and very solid kama that basically made him into a standee instead of an action figure and the other was a soft and supple plastic that would easily open up for any kind of pose.
>>11798687What would be the ideal material for a soft goods snowtrooper kama anyways? I've seen them with both a fabric texture and a synthetic texture. Does it vary by rank? I've never had a good eye for costume detail.
>>11798944Okay! But the echo isn't as big as the one from your mom's box>>11798945Yep. It's funny too, you see them desperately leaking "suggestions" to see how the public reacts. Those youtube retards served as "useful idiots" when they had proxies reach out to them and "leak" "plans" to "reboot" the sequels just to do market research and see what the community actually thinks of the idea. In the long run, I simply don't fucking care. You had ONE CHANCE to bring back Hamill, Fisher & Ford, you don't get a "do-over" from me, I'll wait for the fans to do an AI fan film instead.
>>11798673Repacking that sandtrooper is so retarded. The backpack is oversized, the belt is wrong, the weathering paint apps are terrible, and we know they can do better because of the remnant stormies have much better weathering. And they still did not update the hips.
>>11799102The whole lineup is retarded. There's nothing good or unique there.
I must be going insane, was there a teased SH Figuarts Bossk figure? I swear I remember one from a wonderfest.
>>11799145Cancelled
>>11799145Sorry, beloved characters are no longer allowed because they have to pay George Lucas whenever they use them, please enjoy figures based on DEI approved characters like Reva and Holdo! The Force is female!
>>11799159When you die, we'll have no way of knowing or caring. Why bother wasting your energy like this, thinking your words matter in any form to any of us?Go do something joyful instead of wasting your days doing whatever this is.
>>11798879Jannie do your fucking job.
>>11799145You may be thinking of the gray prototype Medicom showed a couple of years back.
>>11799177Because it was canceled. And probably for the best. The Grievous was horrible.
>>11799159>beloved characters are no longer allowed because they have to pay George Lucas whenever they use themThis is the dumbest thing I see parroted aside from Disney will never use PT era content to appeal to fans
>>11799235Disney has to use Prequel stuff now. They fucked their shit up entirely. Hell, Groglett is a box office bomb now.
>>11799235I'm also a big fan of all the "they got rid of the EU so they wouldn't have to pay the authors!" folks not noticing that the EU books are still being published
>>11799237They aren't
>“The Mandalorian and Grogu” has turned up with one of the lowest numbers in the Star Wars franchise’s history on the weekend of its opening at the box office. This major flop has raised a big question of how poorly things are going for Disney, and many cannot look the other way.
>>11799238They are. They just have the legends banner.
>>11799237The best part of that is that in the announcement that the EU was ending they literally stated they were still going to keep publishing the books with the Legends label, so the people who came up with this conspiracy theory didn't even bother to read the initial announcement and just assumed bookstores were going to burn all non-Disney or something
Just finished my Carbonized collection (I think). Did I miss any? I have 15 total.
>>11799244No, I think you got them all, nice work
>>11799239when are we getting the giant rat from the holiday special
>>11799244does the paint chip easier? I always wanted them and always almost bite the bullet on the tie fighter 2 pack because it always goes on sale.
>>11799239I really don't get why they are so harsh on it. It is really just for fans of the show. Had good development for Grogu and gave Mando a wake up call to the reality of his relationship. And I guess the sword for the new black series mando and grogu was literally nothing?
>>11799266>It is really just for fans of the show.It really isn't. The show was going downhill fast, and the movie is a big symptom of WHY. You have to have to be the biggest apologist yet to not see that.
>>11799279>s3 had mando get the back burner >movie has them back as the mainsthat was my issue with s3 though.
>>11799286the issue is yidsneed.
>>11799286that was your issue and not literally everything else wrong with that season and his episodes in boba deleting the ending s2
>>11799287ah>>11799290you wanted s2 to be the end? Then yea I'll meet you half way with that.
>>11798762I buy Black Series 90% of the time. I'll buy 3.75" occasionally of figures I wanted in the past and never bought. For example, I'm thinking of getting the Wat Tambor figure.
>>11798673Really hoping that the Baby Sneed movie B2 means we will get an AOTC B2 releasing hopefully around the time of the gunship
>>11798762Black Series, though I used to be a Vintage guy and get tempted by a figure here and there.
Mfw I farted and a little doodoo came out
>>11798987mission having lanky arms is accurate, believe it or noti think the issue with the figure is that her boots come up higher on the figure than on the game model, which makes her arms look even longer
>>11799244Favorite?
>>11799177There we go, I knew my memory couldn't be that far gone.Shame he's dropped off the radar. I can't ring myself to buy the Black Series one ever again, it was awful.
>>11798675Neat. Will get Embo, IG-11 and the Snowtrooper
>>11799244Paz visual
>>11798774I think one major issue is that the past few years they've done a lot of "Character variant for X scene" or "with new hat/paint variant" instead of tooling new characters.
>>11798783Agreed. I'm glad to see some cool aliens and not just human in brown jacket figures. Plus I actually liked the first couple seasons of Rebels.
>>11799235This was the biggest lie I believed because I saw it thrown around so often. They bought it outright and Lucas gets no risiduals. There is no monetary incentive to withhold products with OT and PT content. Which makes the state of Star Wars toys since Disney even more frustrating.
My desert land speeder FINALLY came in (I fucking hate eBay sellers that take more than 3 days to ship! This one took like 5 days!)It's pretty good for less than $20, though I already lost a missile lmao! It's a bit smaller than I thought, but still good for the price point.Man, some of the random vehicles from Disney era have been pretty decent and cheap.
>>11799525Pretty cool! 3.75 scale vehicles are fun and the whole point of the scale. I still have an old landspeeder because I find the springy wheel "hover" gimmick so much fun. Vehicles with spring missiles are also pretty great though. Hopefully you find it.
>>11799525>Disney era >pretty decentHow much is the mouse paying you to post this?
>>11799584>It's bad to buy toysOk faggot, post your non-disney era pick ups, or even toys in general. I'll wait.(I already know you aren't going to post anything anyways, but I'll still remind you that timestamps are mandatory)
I was worried that if they used the deluxe IG-12 body as the basis for a new IG-11 that they'd also make it a deluxe so seeing it as a regular release is a relief, because that means that the inevitable IG-88 is likely going to be a regular release
>>11799632I accept your surrender.Also, your retarded ass accusation doesn't even make sense; Disney is paying me to push sales of a 10 year old toy, that is only available from second hand sellers, and that wasn't even in the movies, that are rumored to get retconned??
>>11799651>that are rumored to get retconned?Why did this become a thing recently? I know people have been wishing for the ST to get retconned for years but why did it suddenly blow up to the point where people genuinely believe it's going to happen?
>>11799659*Shrugs*Cope? Willing it into existence?I mean, the direction SW is going has been bad, something HAS got to give, and resetting the canon (again) doesn't seem like the worst idea, as they DID do it once already. I mean, what do we lose of any value? Mandalorian S1? Even that one had issues, just axe it all and reboot it. I will say, though, that as long as Filoni is there, it would be for naught.(Anybody that believes Filoni is the future of SW are the biggest fools around!)
>>11799670I'm not saying we need to keep the current canon, but I just don't see any reason why Disney would ever drop it, or why in the last like 3 weeks everyone's suddenly talking about it like it's a sure thing.
>>11799672>Why they would drop itIt's poison! Every movie after TLJ has been doing worse and worse. Their only hit (mandalorian) is now dog water.Even theTOYS are suffering! Ahsoka? CHOKING shelves to this day!Acolyte? Laughed when they were on pegs, and you can basically buy any figure from that series at Ross/discount stores for a quarter of the price or less.Skeletal Crew? I kid you not, they went straight to the discount stores!!It's also MUCH easier to do something else that conflicts with that canon, than to try to work around it (mando did, and look at how well that show turned out!)>RumorsHey, like I said, it could be cope.
>>11799680But what actual reason does Disney have for dropping it? Making that stuff non-canon doesn't change anything, it won't gain them any goodwill and it's not like you can do the sequels over again. The damage is done. There's zero incentive for them to drop any of this from canon.
>>11799672Disney is never going to retcon any of this because that's an admission of failure, the conversation basically stops there
>>11798987>Snowtrooper one looks very strange, there's folds and creases in the crouching kama that aren't in the standing pose. It almost looks like two swappable pieces.It is. I didn't catch it on the live, but recap on insta said 6 possible combinations between masks/no masks and the two kama options.
>>11799685They retconned the pre-buyout EU. If SW does bad enough, they'll reboot it again. Especially since the person most invested in the sequels has been kicked to the curbside.
>>11799683>it was all a dream
>>11799690Ohhhh! Well that actually sounds pretty good, then.
>>11799384Cope.
>>11799670They could retcon/alternate universe it with the World Between Worlds, but what's the point? Everything they do is shit, it's not going to magically get better.
>>11799731Nah, that shit is gay as fuck as well (time travel/alternate timelines are always mega risky, and SW doesn't need that retarded ass shit).Just ignore it all and truck along with something written/directed by a competent person.
>>11798672These two figures are soo kit-bashed.Hasbro disgusts me. I wait over twenty years for a Mission Vao figure and the only way it's coming is by using parts of Dr. Aphra and some other shit...
>>11799786the hasbro special
Guys I need your wisdom and guidance. Since Hasbro has abandoned The 3.75 inch line I'm taking diy route on a Mission vao figure.I'm gonna use the head from this figure but I need some suggestions for the body what do you recommend? I don't mind a full body suit I do have blue paint just throw in your best suggestions.
>>11799659Because it's been confirmed by recent events.
>>11800080Admiral Holdo
>>11800209>Because it's been confirmed by recent events.Which events?
Are the heads swappable between the two Krennics? Because while the one on the right was reissued with updated photoreal, the Andor dress version on the left still manages to have a better skintone and photoreal than the reissue.
>>11800288NTA, but the rumor was that they were going hit the reset button on the sequels if Mando and Grogu didn't hit the numbers Disney wanted it to. It didn't, but time will ultimately tell. I don't feel like they really have anything to lose by throwing it out though, literally no one likes those movies regardless of how they feel about Disney canon as a whole.
>>11800439Mandoverse can just as easily divert to a new timeline since it's just fresh off of ROTJ anyway. It's the really just the fact that the sequels always get in the way of anything post-OT.
>>11800436It looks like the same sculpt so yeah probably. Idk how they fucked up the reissue so bad, it doesn’t even look better than the original non photo real one
>>11800478In that pic, the one on the right is the original Rogue One release, but while the recent reissue is better, it's still not as nice looking as the Andor dress uniform version in that pic which somehow had sharper details on the photoreal and a better choice of color for the plastic skintone. Pic-related is the original compared to the reissue.
>>11800482Also looking around, it seems like modding the head from the ML Talos works as a good substitute. I might just do that since I still have the Talos head and used the body for a different custom.
Was this ever gonna be A thing?
>>11800614No just a fun comic cover I think. If he appears in a show/movie then maybe there will be a figure.
Hypothetically, have we reached the point where someone could recreate every scene in Star Wars with their toys, and not have to use a single custom figure?
>>11800080If it were me, I would:>Get two of those Aaylas>Get new Padme>Remove head, torso, arms, and legs at the thigh swivel on Padme and both right arms from Aaylas>Dye torso and leg pieces black>Paint hip and upper leg pieces gray>Assemble back together (the sculpt of Aayla's arm is pretty simple and you shouldn't notice that it's just been flipped around other than that it won't quite rest as close to her body as the other one)>Find some bit of plastic and cut it into strips to glue around where the cut for the thigh swivel is create the cuff of her boots>Glue on some Gundam pieces for the kneepads>Source a vest (Aphra is probably the best bet) and repaint itAlso if I may suggest just getting this Mission Vao head form Scoundrel's Stock.
>>11799400why? his jaw even moved
>>11800822Not even close. We're still missing like a third of the Cantina patrons alone.
>>11800822Disney wars maybe.
>>11800822From the OT probably. Though maybe not with every single background character that was in the scene present. Not sure about PT. There's a number of small scenes with rando minor characters. I thought about some like Ric Ollie talking to Anakin, Sio Bible talking about invasion, Sly Moore being told to leave for the tragedy of Darth Plgaueis. But I just checked and all three of them actually do have figures kek though they can't sit which they were doing so in most of their scenes. Also thought about scenes without characters that would need a diorama like the Falcon flying out of the Exogorth. While I don't think Hasbro ever made one, there seems to be a statue that would cover it. Is there any character from the 6 films with a speaking part that doesn't have a 3.75" figure? Even Sleazebagganno has one. Maybe it is possible if you are allowed to use everything like statues and christmas tree ornaments and stuff like that. Can't think of what scenes wouldn't be possible off the top of my head.
>>11800080Isn't the black series using a lot of Aphra parts? Then maybe you can just use TVC Aphra
>>11800854I had a feeling the Cantina would be the sticking point. That or maybe the executive officers on the first Death Star.
>>11800860Oh Padme giving birth. I don't think anyone ever made that nintendo controller face droid. But again yeah PT might not be possible but I feel like OT is>>11800854We're still missing like a third of the Cantina patrons aloneAre you counting just modern lines or everything since kenner? I think you can do all of the action and dialogue scenes which is what would matter most. It would be impossible to 100% every background extra>>11800863You primarily just need Motti and Tarkin for that scene but we do have others to fill the chairs. They made a battlepack specifically for that meeting didn't they? Don't know that it included every officer though but the way I am thinking about it, if someone were to make a stop motion and have the right figure for every dialogue and action, that is close enough for this hypothetical recreation
>>11800872>It would be impossible to 100% every background extraYou're starting to sound like a Separatist.
does anyone here have experience with hot toys figures? I was rather disapointed with the palpatine release with mace windu. So I was saving a bit of money and preordered this figure. The promo pics look really good
>>11800436mmmmm that new krennic body actually might be better suited to George's head than nu-thrawn
>>11800885I have a vader and a fett from some years back I'm getting rid of. Not because they're bad, I'm just not keeping any 1/6 stuff
Take that faggots Enjoy your black series garbage hopefully it goes up another $20
>>11800936>Using beit-bong pricesNot even going to NGMI....
>>11800936Shame you euro bros dont have ROSS dress for less. We'll be getting these slop for $6-7 in a few months. Stacks of Mandolrians alreay hitting ROSS shelves. Full waves of ANDOR, Wokelyte, Skelly Crew, Ghost Quigons, even Maul. Only thing propping up retail SW is Clone Wars. That shit flies off the shelves and preorder stock.
>>11801162
>>11801162Just looked up prices, that same Mando goes for an equivalent of 28 bucks, and that price could be considered a steal around these parts.
>>11801174It was a meh version. The one with the sofgoods cape came out at the same time as this one and both were even on the Target pegs at one point. Now the updated season 1 version is piling up at targets. Ill grab one when ross gets them since my original from 2020 has a defect in the center of the visor.
>>11801177>It was a meh version.I genuinely don't understand the decision behind that. Literally put out lesser version of Mando right after putting out the banger release that was the Glavis Ringworld.
The Bombalorian & Flopu coming to Ollie's shelves soon!
>>11801627Ollies has bought Hasbro stock in two years. They're still drowning in eternals and grief and saw garreras. They were smart and put all the Black Panther stuff to $1 and got them cleared out. Don't know why they aren't doing it to the rest.
>Here's another Zeb Fartsniffer!>Oh, okay. Where's the frog lady?>Who? Oh here's Sojourner Webber pilot!>Neat. Where's the frog lady?>Did someone say STOOOOORMTROOOPEEEERS?
Are they skipping the Haslab thing this year?
>>11800885I recommend just sticking to your favorite characters. Less is more. Have your small HT display tell a story. If you start buying troopers, secondary characters, etc, it turns into a mess and it's still expensive and the need for space becomes a real issue.My HT display now is only Qui Gon-Obi Wan-Anakin/Vader-Luke with the latter 3 having multiple iterations. I have 1/12 for the larger scope of Star Wars.
>>11801627I actually have a sneaking suspicion that we will be seeing plenty of M&G TVC at Ross, soon enough, because I've only seen them on shelves for a single case, if even, unlike the other wave that had two or more cases each store.I jumped the gun and bought the remnant troopers, but I won't say no to a second of each at $5 each. The inquisitors would be nice at that price point as well :pI'm also holding out on Shak-ti at Ross as well lmao
>>11801686Buy the $600 Gogurt!
>>11801689>I recommend just sticking to your favorite characters. Less is more.yeah I wasnt planing on buying any hot toys because they are expensive and I dont really have the room, but palps is my favourite character and the figure looks great so I gave in
>>11801686I think so. Maybe they realized one per year is not sustainable especially after the last few couldn’t unlock all the tiers. And/or beginning of tariffs fucked some things when they were planning, though things seem to have cooled down a little now
>>11801162>even Maul.Hell yea $6 maul figure.
>>11802029I saw that at mine, and I couldn't pull the trigger. I kept thinking about how it came with nothing compared to the first figure...
>>11802029God I wish. I have actually enjoyed Maul a lot and would love to buy him and the inquisitors
>>11802122>buy him and the inquisitors>the inquisitors
mando is bombingkek what a dead franchise
>>11802138It's hilarious how bad it is. It's almost as bad as the whole Reva push. Just nosedive into fucked-dom. The toys are not selling at all, Target's sitting on all the Black Series crap, all the Grogu crap. People don't want it. Or at least, they're okay waiting until deep clearance.Star Wars' future is grim.
>>11802138They thought the TV show was neverending gold and so they decided they deserve BO millions instead of just D+ chickenscratch.
>>11802141>um its old lady Sigo Weaver as an Xwing pilot I'm sure scifi fans have always dreamed of this.The virgin SW brand manager
>>11802243is it a new body at the very least or is hasbro still using the ancient 2012 pilot bodyif the former it could be used for customs (when on deep discount of course)
>>11801875it'll be a nice piece. display it on your desk by your PC.
>>11801686They need to uncouple themselves from the idea of having the Haslabs be big ticket items and use them to crowdfund fan pleasers that don't translate to mass market. Make a TVC wave specifically for the people who want every single background cantina patron. Give us a KotOR wave, or one for Andor, Skeleton Crew, or some area of the EU. Eight figure batches or thereabouts so the pledge costs and tiers don't get too crazy. Everyone is broke because the dollar is cratering and collectors who did the previous Haslabs don't have space for a sixth fuckhuge ship or playset so only do those every five years or something.
>>11802496Honestly we're also running out of viable options. There's only so many ships/playsets that people will want to shell out big bucks for. The gunship struggled to make it to the end and even with a last minute FOMO push it still only unlocked one tier. I think doing a collection of figures would be a smarter idea, though even then I'd rather they do it as a made-to-order thing like they've been doing with Marvel Legends as opposed to a crowdfund that needs to hit X number of goals.
>>11802580I wonder if they're in panic mode because the only two popular characters they had left aren't doing the money dance as planned.
>>11802126What can I say? I love their design and they had some good scenes in Maul. I love designs like that in general.
>>11802749They are in panic mode because they suffered way too many losses. I don’t get how the industry works but it’s clear any of those companies can afford some misses.Disney has been repeatedly missing for a decade and not just with Star Wars. They are being forced to admit their “creative” ideas don’t work even with a famous IP and are running out of chances.So rather than being in panic because those aren’t doing money, they dished them out because they were in panic and that’s all they had some faith in. Now we are just seeing the mask of confidence they put up fall apart since that emergency button they had failed.Mandalorian wasn’t even bad I’ll give them that. But it isn’t something that good either. Personally I didn’t recommend to anyone.
LOOOOL
>>11802980>69% dropNice
>>11802925Yeah I didn't think it was bad either but really worth seeing in theaters. It's one of those things you may as well wait to see on Disney+ and I think a lot of people are thinking the same thing.
>>11803022I think it's more Star Wars has nothing to offer people after the repeated misfires.
>>11803022Also anyone who wasn't already a fan of the show probably didn't want to go see this. It's weird that they went out of their way to tailor it as a one-shot story specifically so that they wouldn't alienate non-viewers but those non-viewers have zero reason to care in the first place.
>>11802980Merch holders:WAAAAH THE KIDS ARE STILL IN SCHOOL DURING THE WEEK. IT WILL RECOVER! IT WILL RECOVER!
>>11803022It was -pretty- bad though

Interesting choice to make this the canon vehicle!
>>11803285>Disney>canonMmmmno
Hasbro designers said they have something big coming for The 50th anniversary next year.What do you think it can be? The shut down of TVC and focusing on 6inch only?
>>11800850>>11800861Thank you I appreciate your feedback and advice.

>>11803528Showed my 6 year old the OT this past week before her grandparents took all their grandkids to go see it. She did not like it. In her own words told me it was bad but in the same breath told me she likes baby yoda. Watched a whole movie with his name in the title and still just calls him baby yoda lol. All these companies making shit for infants isn’t working out.
>>11803545To clarify she liked the OT. She told me she didn’t like mando and grogu
>>11803285>'mmmmemberrr?
>>11802980How much was Mando's budget again? If it was relatively lower budget, even bombing it might still make Disney a small profit.
>>11803773It is a much lower budget, but it's not going to make profit. It's doing THAT bad.
>>11803773According to Wikipedia it's $165m, with a current box office of $246.6m. Not sure what the marketing costs, but unless it was close to $100m which I doubt, it's on track to make a small profit. It's kind of weird that people keep comparing it to Solo when a big part of Solo's problem was how expensive it was due to having to reshoot almost the entire movie. M&G doesn't even have to do Solo numbers to be profitable.But honestly none of this matters without knowing just what Disney themselves were expecting. If they expected this to make $500m+ they'd be complete idiots setting themselves up for disappointment. The fact that they didn't seem to want to spend all that much on this movie tells me they're expecting a modest profit and not a huge blockbuster. M&G is probably going to do okay. Not amazing, not great, but just okay. The bigger problem though is that Disney has another big SW movie on the horizon and they probably released M&G as a low budget test to see if there's still any enthusiasm for a theatrical Star Wars movie after all these years. There isn't, it's clear that the brand is still in trouble and you can't just slap Star Wars on something and have it print money. Starfighter doesn't even have the benefit of being connected to a popular show, and Ryan Gosling is only going to draw in so many people. So the problem for Disney isn't that M&G wasn't a massive hit, it's that Starfighter is now being set up for failure.
>>11804071It's being compared to Solo because Solo sucked ass.
>>11802496 a TVC squad of Mudtroopers would make me happy.
>>11804071$100 million would be a small estimate for the marketing budget, they had a super bowl spot.
Some people arent going back to movie teathers any more Im one of them. I rather watch it alone.
>>11798672I'm guessing we will get a T3 and HK two pack at some point. Maybe a rerelease of Bastila and Revan in a two pack as well?
>>11804332they'd never do it but the dream revan would be one with swappable heads based on some faces from the gamehell i'd even be cool with it if they still used the old 2016 body
>>11804310Yeah theaters are gross, overpriced and the volume is too loud for me. I went to see the ROTS rerelease for the anni because it’s my favorite movie ever, not just Star Wars but the experience was meh, nothing crazy seeing it on a bigger screen vs my tv at home
>>11804310I cant go to the movies without someone being on their phone>before and during previewscool>during the actual moviefuck you
>>11804582Go on Tuesdays, they should be pretty empty then. Though if you are talking about M&G, my local theaters are pretty empty, even on the weekend lmao!I looked up seats on Friday night, 4pm, and there was only one group in the front row.Grim

>>11804589NTA but this works in my favor. I’m thinking of taking my dad there. He enjoyed Mandalorian and doesn’t mind this whole controversy… and watching anything with him is worth it.
>>11805060>He enjoyed MandalorianYour dad sounds inbred
>>11805100trying too hard dude
>>11805060does your dad actually remember what he watches or does he just sit in front of things? I thought my dad liked Mando too but he couldn't tell me a thing about it other than he watched it, and that's when I realized that he was like that with all movies/tv.
>>11805287Still trying way too hard.

>>11805566Those people are why we're in the mess we're in now

>>11806178Hasbro is being run by inept clods. Enjoy your repaints, slightly updated tooling, or new hats. But never all at once.
>>11806148Hopefully Boba soon
>>11803454Good
>>11803367a bunch of $30-$60 figures of characters we've been getting for 45 years why can't we just make 3 3/4" figures the mainline again? everything's gotta expensive, like who's paying for this shit? besides the troopers it all ends up in liquidation stores, why are cheap sub $10 toys so taboo? get excited to give the GOOD people at Hasbro and Disney thousand of dollars every other month
>>11806455How can you be collecting for years and still not know how the toy industry or the world works?
Anons with the rogue one imperial tank please post photos. I kind of want one now which is going to be a pain in the uk
>>11806148I actually really like these still won’t buy
>>11806433You know I had to dew it to 'em.
I picked up the Blokees Stormtrooper, well specifically the disguised Han Solo, out of curiosity after seeing how hard Blokees is being shilled lately. The people saying these are better than Hasbro are retarded or are blinded by the price and the couple extra not particularly useful accessories you get. I mean yeah for $15 it's a nice toy but still has a lot of the problems of a model kit. Plus it just doesn't look good or accurate. I'm not going to collect these or get them over Black Series.
>>11806916Anon, when considering the overall grade of an item, price is a very big factor, and shouldn't be disregarded. I know for a FACT that if even the "perfect" toy was $10,000, then it would be anything but. What Blokees offers is very good.Also;>"Doesn't look good">Called other people blind:/
>>11806916>The people saying these are better than Hasbro are retarded or are blinded by the priceDuuuuh. It's the new troll spam.
>>11806416Ask and ye shall receive. There's also a Stormtrooper they announced alongside him.
>>11806581Here is an older picture I took a few years ago of the Combat Assault Tank and the troopers that do not come with it. I haven't checked in awhile, but the price on them used to be silly expensive in the TVC. I ended up picking up the Jedha Revolt Pack for the pilot and TVC Commander I pre ordered and got it at MSRP
>>11806969Sure it is a good product and high quality for the price. Maybe I downplayed that which I didn’t mean to. Considering the overall package it is solid value. But I don’t like it as an action figure and would get more satisfaction from a Hasbro figure. Black series can be bought for a few bucks more especially since they always go on sale and feel much better to play with, the joints feel better to move, and I’m pretty sure there is better articulation in certain areas on the TBS stormtrooper. As for looks, I guess that is subjective but I don’t think it looks that good because it’s sort of cartoony. The shoulders are very broad, the helmet is off, the way the armor is sculpted doesn’t seem to quite match any particular source material. It’s like their own stylization. Which is fine, I just prefer screen accuracy. But I think objectively ugly are the knee joints. They are very thin and look ridiculous. It’s still cool but not my definitive Stormtrooper fig.>>11806980I think it’s fine to like 'em, they are good products. But some are acting like these are the best toys ever. In the price range? Perhaps. But that should be specified. Plus they are model kits so really I’m not sure if they should even be compared to regular figures because both feel very different.>>11807067>2013 body
Hot Toys Ahsoka was cancelled. We really can't have nice things.
>>11807212maybe dont base it on the ugly ass live action shit
>>11806416>HopefullyJust keep slurpin' the slop
>>11807212Was it really because of the outrage or some other reason? All the discourse around that outfit is so performative and annoying.
>>11807778It really was because of the outrage.
>>11807778all because of a little greentext from 10 years ago
>>11807212It looked like shit anyway
>>11807212Wasn't sexy enough for the fans.
So were any of you going to buy that shitty Ahsoka or are you just mad because of culture war shit
>>11807969they had pre-ordered it. The black series version of the same costume is pretty sold out.She was a good friend, and she'll be missed.
>>11807969Definitely the latter>>11807979Who is they? And there is no black series version. Bot post?
>>11807969The people here bitch and moan about spending more than $30 on a toy. Of course they aren't buying Hot Toys lmao
>>11807778It was cancelled because of a vocal minority performing fake outrage. It just goes to show the battle isn't over and we need to fight harder against these fake fans and culture dismantlers.
>>11808093When will you understand that you can’t save what’s already dead? You have long since lost. For over 10 years.The only difference is it took this long for the filled well to dry out.
>>11808093>fake outrageyou weren't going to buy it lol
>>11808184"yOu AlReAdY lOsT!"Protip; the safest space is a grave>>11808212Demonstrably untrue, as anons here reported the preorders drying up quickly.peoole WERE going to buy it, but they bent the knee to those that never were going to buy anything. Their loss, as Im sure the Chinese factories will gladly give us the goods anyways.
>>11808374You preordered it?
>>11806916>Additional accessories BAD!If you want accuracy get the bandai modelBut that kit is just bare minimal in the extraLike the usually bandai fashion, they don't even give you closed fists, which does make the blokee one better toy overall having full choices of hands
>>11808474lol of course he didn't
>>11808474>"as anons here reported the preorders drying up quickly."Nigga READ!!>>11808547I didnt try to buy it because I've gone exclusively TVC, and I'm not a disingenuous faggot like you, as I'm reporting what I did see.Post your toys or STFU
>>11807212Honestly, I don't buy Hot Toys and don't want some hybrid LA/cartoon Ahsoka anyway, but I don't like seeing companies cave to a vocal minority of permaonlines, especially for a figure they've already partially released and the aftermarket has now exploded on. All the reddit threads about this are basically celebrating it. Saw one guy saying because this worked, they should go raid the anime collecting subreddits.
>>11808666We really are living in Hell times
>>11808602>I didnt try to buy itOh? But you said>>11808374>Demonstrably untrueWhich implies you did preorder it.
>>11808666Giving her big tits was kind of a weird move, especially since she was never that stacked even when she was older
>11808689I'm not that anon, anon, so nothing I said was untrue, as it was a general statement, as seen by "as anons here reported the preorders drying up quickly." Which you've failed to read for the second time. But then again, you are a disingenuous faggot that doesn't even own toys.
>>11808693Her tits aren't even big
>>11808697>you weren't going to buy it lol>Demonstrably untruewhat do you think this response means dude
>>11808602>he buys disney shit
The people outraged about the figure don't really care and it's all performativeThe people outraged over the outrage about the figure don't really care and it's all performativeIt's all so tiresome
>>11808702Second one is wrong, because even if I myself was not going to buy the figure, I know that others were, and for them to be denied because of some third party grifters means that I might get denied because of some third party grifters. It's bad enough that we already have scalpers, but at least they are more upfront about being third party grifters, unlike these others, who don't actually buy toys.>11808699We get it, you can't read, and you don't even buy toys.>11808701You DEFINITELY never bought toys, AND you don't even know what is from which era lmao
>>11808702Eh, the people outraged over the figure were never going to buy it in the first place.At least some of the people outraged by the outrage were going to buy it and now can't or are stuck paying $1000+ on ebay(a few have already sold for those prices). More importantly, they're concerned with the precedent it sets seeing a big figure company give in to a couple of hostile online comments.
>>11808712>I know that others were, and for them to be deniedlol you don't care
give me my swole rotta already hasbroI don't care if the movie flopped give me my fucking rotta

>11808725>Nigga still can't readToo poor to afford the free education, and too poor to own toys

>>11808666>redditors spend more energy protecting cartoons from rape than real people
>>11808666this worked only because of disney being scared shitless of any controversy japan has not become as spineless yet
>>11808602I understand buying mandalorian toys but… Bo Katan? Really? Out of everyone Bo Katan?Bo Katan is a blight to Mandalore lorewise and to the Mandalorian series writingwise. She is the reason we got on this mess.
>>11809112NTA but I think Katee Sackhoff is hot. Fight me.
>>11808689No, you just inferred it due to lack of reading comprehension.
>>11809112pls elaborate I am looking to get rid of like half the mando figs I have
>>11808877This. We need to find out who were the ones who made this happen, we need to learn everything about them. They need to understand that they crossed the line and there will be consequences.
>>11809112A lot of people have a Bo Katan figure. The character's been around long before the Mandalorian show existed or before Disney even bought Star Wars. It's not her fault the writing went to shit in Mando S3.
>>11809230You also bought a figure of Sasha Banks
>>11807969>So were any of you going to buy that shitty Ahsoka or are you just mad because of culture war shitThis general was shitting on the figure when it was revealed and saying anyone who wanted it was retarded, you really think they actually care about it?
>>11809257NTA who posted that pic, so no I didn't. The only Disney original characters I've got are Grogu, Fennec, and Paz Vizsla.
>>11809260Reminds of how all the people who were screaming and crying about Cara Dune being on-par strengthwise with Mando was Disney pushing a radical feminist agenda were suddenly declaring that they were always huge fans of hers when Carano got cancelled
>>11809271So you admit to buying Disney shit, got it. I now know your opinion is worthless.
>>11809274>We're now pretending everyone didn't buy the Black Series Heavy Infantry Mandalorian and were glazing him like crazy ITTSure, whatever, buddy.
>>11809281>everyoneDisney marks aren't people
It all sort of rhymes
>>11809112To me, she's just a female mandalorian. In other words, the helmet stays on :pAfter looking up her lore, though, and after mando s3, yeah, I'm guessing that she's yet another Filoni OC that he INSISTS is super important!>>11809217Unfortunately, they don't care about anything, or at least, what they do care about is so vapid and amorphous, that it's easily replaced.>11809274Says the faggot that doesn't even own toys.>>11809281He doesn't own toys at all.
I know no one cares but I'm really curious about what this is. The ultimate decked out clone has been a dream of mine for a long time. I know it will probably end up being disappointing but I would love if it was something like this:>plain white armor, no markings>phase 1 standard helmet>phase 1 rangefinder helmet>phase 2 standard helmet>phase 2 binoculars helmet>regular crew cut head, buzz cut, crew cut with beard/mustache>backpack>thermal detonators that can fit inside backpack>DC-15 rifle and carbine>DC-17 pistol>z-6 rotary cannon>RPS-6 rocket launcherNo way it will have all those accessories though. The rumor lists 3 pauldrons which seems unnecessary and I'm not sure if there are even that many variants? Maybe one is the Neyo/Airborne trooper chest straps I don't know what a third would be unless it's animated and movie versions.
>>11809429I can't wait for the trannies to get this cancelled too
>>11809112It's HER turn, chud!
>>11809272That's was only for her introduction episode, you disingenuous cretin. People came to like her before the controversy.
>>11806148It's me, I'm Sickos. I don't even like Star Wars but Droids getting toys is for me in particular. Now to see if it goes beyond the easy repaints.
>>11808474I don't collect 1/6. If she was Black Series, I would have.I did preorder picrel, tho.
>>11809336"And it turns out... Uhhh, spiders... :) ... Aren't the only thing about Ghorman that's unique."
>>11807212>>11808666SH Figuarts one is a billion times better than that obese Vietnamese child trying to poorly cosplay Ahsoka.
>>11809554How long until the left gets this figure cancelled?
I'm glad Gloglet flopped.
You can still get it for $2000 for now. Hurry up!
>>11809652Wait this hideous piece of shit is what you're all crying over?
>>11809554Yeah this is never coming out
>>11809669It's the principal of the matter. We must elevate George's vision.>i wonder if they're reshooting all the scenes with the actor wearing that now
>>11809735It's a SHF 'Display Only' Star Wars figure. Probably never was.
I wanted to get the AT-RT Pilot Black Series figure at the store today until I thought more about the $28 price. I wonder how many other people are in that boat: you want the figure but can't justify the price to actually buy it. It
>>11809800I want snowtroopers but I'm very much over buying this stuff at launch and then watching it drop 10-15 in price
>>11809777who knows, we're getting most of the display dragonball stuff at this point
>>11809770>reshootingThe actress never wore that though
>>11809864I doubt this
>>11809260>>11809272It's amazing how retards assume that situations like this are the same people doing a 180 and not the more obvious scenario of being different people with conflicting opinions.
>>11809874She didn't though, people even remarked that they gave her a more conservative costume during the one scene where she would have canonically had the tube top
>>11809770>It's the principal of the matter. Yeah nah if this was Slave Leia getting canceled I'd understand, this ugly turd of a figure isn't worth defending, the trannies can have this one
>>11809898The folly of complacency.Or more likely, you don't actually care about anything, and are on the trannies side.
>>11809898>Yeah nah if this was Slave Leia getting canceled I'd understandBrother, we can't even get a Slave Leia, excuse me, Huttslayer Leia, to go up for preorder to be cancelled for ANY line because of controversy just like this.
>>11809898Slave Leia got canceled over 10 years ago what are you talking about
>>11809896The costume in that scene is strongly based on her second outfit from the animated series, except they toned it down as well. They removed the diamond-shaped holes in her pants and changed her top so it would show less skin.Then they went on and approved that other figure. Someone's getting fired over this.
>>11810099job opening at hot toys?
>>11810124I mean someone from Disney had to greenlight that design at some point. I doubt the Chinese employees at Hot Toys HQ really give a crap about that controversy.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I’ve got some Bandai spirits models.Pic related is one of them.They’ve got sticker sheets and I want to do this right but Murphy’s law of everything going wrong will going wrong makes me want to be prepared with backups.Any sources for printing digital copies of the stickers to be decals by chance?Any tools for removing and applying the stickers properly?
>>11808666People are fucking morons. They genuinely think actual pedos are gonna buy a $300 figure of an orange alien because it shows her belly?Forget about all the famous people on that list, the real monsters are buying expensive action figures of fictional characters. Well I'm glad cancelling those preorders ended child abuse worldwide.
>>11810265>They genuinely think actual pedos are gonna buy a $300 figure of an orange alien because it shows her belly?honestly who else was going to buy that garbage
I just got the BS Baylan and I gotta ask: is Reva really the best choice to boost his height or are there better options? Has anyone here done the mod?
>playing Warframe>magic space ninjas murdering everything>…>pretty bleak and aimlessit isn’t Star Wars but it’s like there is this feeling I missed so much. Something that most scifi lack that Star Wars does. This spirituality you know?You think we will ever get back to those things? I know there is Jedi Survivor but even that I feel it lacks something compared to Old Republic and Jedi Academy. It’s like… there is a difference when the setting has more Jedi and Sith around and that helps nail these things better.
>>11810464Because people seem to react with "muh religion bad" with anything spiritual these days, even in fiction. I don't think it's completely gone though, it's just a matter of finding good writers who's into that stuff.
>>11798672Im fucking pissed. Not only should this retro collection six pack have been solicited online months ago since hasbro took way too long revealing the figures in the whole set, when it finally does go up for sale its a goddamn preorder. Theres no excuse for this sheer lazyness on hasbros part, the set should've been out by april or may after they first revealed garindan or whatever all those months back but it definitely shouldnt be a goddamn preorder. They absolutely could start shipping them now but hasbro is too lazy and inept to even be competent anymore. I fucking hate how everything is a preorder now. And target has some superfluous street date on the set for july 19 so even if they get it in stores before hand itll probably be register locked because target in particular are street date nazis. Fuck street dates and fuck preorders, their is no fucking excuse that this set which shouldve already been out months ago wont start shipping to us until a month and a half from when its first goes up for sale.
>>11810293A fan of the animated series I guess?
>>11808877mando is already bombing anon
>>11810506Now that you mention it I think you are right. I never valued that stuff when I was a child, but it’s strangely fulfilling when a character has a creed or follows an order of sorts. It’s as if there is meaning in what he is doing, something he is carrying.I’m not even a devout or anything deeper, but it’s like the difference from simply someone having powers and being a proper Jedi/Sith. It’s more than that.
>>11810464Notice how all these flops like mando and anbore and really majority of the stuff Disney has made do not have Jedi or lightsabers, at least not in a prominent way. Benching a core element of the franchise is retarded. Of course there is the High Republic and Acolyte filled with Jedi... But those feel like weirdo authors indulging their gay fetish fantasies, not real Star Wars. If I remember correctly there is a lot of weird sex positive messaging in the high republic books, even ones for kids. I think that is way creepier than a Hot Toys Ahsoka.
>>11810569NTA but jedi are boring and overrated. Andor is fucking shit but mandalorian is actually good because it mostly ignores force shit
>>11810569Mando wasn't a flop until the movie and that's more of a case of waiting three years to drop a continuation to a TV series that just felt like more of the same. The show was literally one of the most popular series in the world, even with it's decline in S3. Crapped all over jedi focused series like Obi-Wan and Ahsoka in viewership and reception.
>>11810569Mando as a series has a lot of spirituality though, between Grogu being Force sensitive and the Mandalorians being framed harder as a religious bunch, even more so than they were in the Clone Wars. Even Boba Fett's show played into this with Tuskens which was the best part of that series. The problem is that the rest of the franchise has been in this huge lull since the sequels and them not capitalizing hard enough on Mando's popularity until it was too late shows that timing is everything.That said, on my periphery a bunch people I know are only just getting into SW completely blind thanks to the Mando movie.
>>11810614I get the feeling a lot of people are waiting for the movie to come to Disney+, it might make up for its theatrical bombing by having decent streaming numbers though I have no idea just how much of that translates into actual profit
>>11810569I like Maul. Though probably because it was the first time in years I finally saw these lightsaber combats back>>11810577>>11810614This. Actually ironically S3 is the one that brings this best. Bo Katan kept talking about the traditions being theatrics to control people, but Mando goes on to explain that the Mandalorians were scattered like stars and the creed was the only thing uniting them. He was apostate, their way of life is what screwed him over to fulfill the mission for Grogu. He accepted and still went through it for his penitence. And then the following adventures with Bo Katan has her fumble here and there while Mando’s respect for other cultures like the engineers got them to help him.The story messes up with the whole “Bo Katan belongs to both worlds!” “Bo Katan saw the Mythosaurus” “Bo Katan earned the Darksaber and shall unite the tribes!”When you take Bo Katan out of focus, it’s actually doing a proper job with Mando teaching her mandalorian values that she gave no worth and show her how those things matter. His quest, apostasy and redemption indirectly reunited the tribes after the purge of Mandore. His faith was rewarded.
>>11810677has anyone called out bo katan for being a dumb bitch who only brings ruin to the mandalorians every time she attempts leadership or are they still pretending that doesn't keep happening
>>11810963This is why she needs Din to temper her and so Grogu can have a mother.
>>11810963No. At most her faction seemed to build to that but the crux of their issue was that Din Djarin had the Darksaber right there and she could be dueling him for it.
>>11810677>>11810963>>11810987>>11811057Yeah, goes to show how close the writers were to making something amazing, but THEY just kept on fumbling it, just like Bo lmao.Worthless ass filoni, can't help himself...
>>11810677>>11811109The Darksaber thing pissed me off so much. Din earns it in true combat from the Empire and that sets up an opportunity for a great arc of him becoming the new Mandalore but they give it to Bo on a technicality.Also pic related.
>>11811109>writers were to making something amazing, but THEY just kept on fumbling itIt's same with Grogu, I already can picture execs screaming "YOU DID HWHAT?!" when they heard that Mando dumped his ass in Luke's Academy, so they had to haphazardly reunite them again in separate series cameo.
>>11811109>>11811306>>11811391It really feels like there was a division among the writers. As if half of them wanting one thing tying up with old lore and building with Mando, while the other half wanted to keep things as they were, getting rid of his weapons and sending him off with Grogu to the stars than either of them starting the new generation of Mandalorians and Jedi.
>>11811511>This is the way.>No, this is the way.>Well, my way is better.
>>11811306Yeah, the fact that everybody just accepts it? Lmao, bunch of retards! AND bad writing, because these guys have no faith in her! Why would they just believe that BS!?>PicLmao>>11811391Yeah, Grogu should've stayed with Luke. Let the little guy grind off screen, then have him come back to save his space daddy later! Luke should be fine with it, because it's HIS Jedi order now! The old heads told him to forget about his father, and look how THAT turned out!>>11811511That's probably giving them too much credit lmaoButt yeah, I could see ONE guy trying his hardest to carry that show.Ah, butt enough about the show, any word on the upcoming blokees champion lite series? That's a good avenue for getting an AT-RT for cheap! Anybody got pics of those figures next to TVC?
You know I was ready to make posts about how MOTU is eating M&G's lunch but somehow it's doing even worse
>>11811651Damn, is it really doing that bad? Why does it suck so much?
>be at Transit in Singapore >Saw these in airport and brought stormtrooper and Darth Vader Now what should I think of them?
>>11811600>Anybody got pics of those figures next to TVC?Only one I have handy is this one with the droids.
>>11811932from the reviews it seems like the movie can't decide if it wants to play the story straight or be a wink-wink self-parodyit probably doesn't help that 80s nostalgia is on the way out and the property almost exclusively survives on nostalgia
>>11811977Dang, the droids is kinda the least helpful, because it's not jarring to have robots be taller than humans.Thanks anyways, though, I have these figures, so it helps a little.>>11812059Ah I see, ty 2u as well.
>>11811651Credit to /motu/, instead of doomposting or baiting each other about the movie's box office they're all just talking about toys they like. We could learn from them.
>>11811974What even are these?
>>11812229nta but ZD Toys, never bought one but they did a ton of Marvel figures.
Another two pack the doesn't make any sense. But honestly it's good for me because these were the last two PT mains I wanted and I can knock out both at once.But it's cruel to not include a hologram and clone head with Cody. And the card image for Anakin is terrible they absolutely refuse to do lightside Anakin.
>>11812365I guess there wasn't another clone to include since the already have the single-packed 501st and none of the named 501st troops in the movie had any unique design. I'm not going to preorder it but if I run across it in-store I might grab it.
>>11812365I can't tell from the pictures, did they give him Sith eyes?
>>11812399He's got regular eyes
>>11812365>>11812403Fuck, I always wanted sith eyes, red lightsaber, intact body anakin, and I passed up that three pack because I didn't need the other two.Does it at least have the ball joint hips? It better!Butt yeah, him with cody sure is weird, probably should've been the inverse (obi wan has cody, anakin has generic yellow).Is it going to be an exclusive?
>>11812485It's a Walmart exclusive just like the Obi-Wan set
>>11812365>$50Jesus fucking Christ Hasbro just needs a mercy killing.
>>11812543The price pisses me the fuck off. Does this mean TVC is going up another $5 soon? Or is it just Walmart being greedy after the Obi-Wan set sold well online? Because as of now that basically makes both of these figure almost deluxe prices and they're basically just repacks with slightly new tooling.
>>11812543Wait, it's $50? What the fuck?
>Clone Commander Cody (Utapau)Why did they need to specify Utapau? What other context would there be for a ROTS Cody figure? They didn't do this for his original TVC figure.
>>11812290Oh, I actually bought a few of those to go with my Marvel Select figures back in the day since they were 1/10. Didn't know they were making Star Wars figures now.
>>11812683I think they just do it so they save an opportunity for alternate cardbacks. I wouldn't be surprised if they do an Order 66 one later since they didn't include a hologram Sheev
>>11812683>>11812745>Clone Commander Cody (Star Destroyer)>unmasked head>does not include helmet
>>11812365>soft goods skirtlame
>>11798672modern star wars has like no sex appeal. like wtf is that body lol
>>11812844supposed to be a malnourished 14 year old so i'll let it slide this timei do agree that disney and nuwars hate women though
>>11812844Agreed. He really should be a beefcake and wearing nothing but boots and a g-string. Happy Pride Month y'all!!!!
>>11812543>$50Welp, guess that decision has been made for me... :/
>>11813685No need to worry Anon. They gave us the wrong price according to Yakface. He just verified that it's the same as the Obi-Wan set
>>11811306yeah, he shoulda done that.
>>11813845Hmmm, mayhaps I will reconsider....Btw, anybody remember that anon that was trying to make the mandalorian shriek team work? I finally pulled the trigger, as Amazon had it for $35 (I think it went up to $40, but because I had it chilling in my cart, it stayed low?)Expect some shuffled 'lorians soon :p(On a side note, I also just saw that the blacksmith set has a red mandalorian helmet! That fucker could make a huge difference in my kitbashing!! N e 1 wanna traaaaaade?)
Are you a bad enough dude to wear the Corellian Bloodstripes?
>>11814614Huh cool little history. Thanks for mentioning that.
>Dengar: You ruined my life, you bastard!>Han: Who are you again?>>11814625Always happy to share whatever EU trivia happens to be floating through my autistic brain, though I actually found out about that bit fairly recently after going through the old X-Wing novels.
The new TVC Cody reveal has made me want to get some 212th troopers but the 4-pack released a while ago uses the shitty removeable helmet. I hope either Hasbro or that AliExpress store will put some new ones out using the non-removable helmet that the recent 501st has.
>>11814687I got the aliexpress ones with the removable helmets and they are shit, not just because of the helmets but overall. So I’m hoping Hasbro does a single card. I still don’t know which clones to load up the haslab gunship with. Usually I only get two per legion but I will need more for the gunship. 501st is kinda boring for me
>>11814922What was bad about the AE ones? I got some of the Wolfpack clones when they first went up and found they were pretty close in quality to Hasbro, aside from the strong chemical smell, but I haven't grabbed anymore since then. I'd definitely prefer to buy official ones, just for the sake of consistency at the very least.>I still don’t know which clones to load up the haslab gunship with. Usually I only get two per legion but I will need more for the gunship. 501st is kinda boring for meI'm stuck on that too. 501st is the only faction I have enough of to actually fill it enough, otherwise it's just gonna be plain white ones. I was hoping these new Walmart two-packs were going to be the new version of those Target Order 66 sets and give us Jedi + Commander and then that would give Hasbro an easy way to offer more army builder sets that would coincide with their respective officers.
>>11814999The smell is the worst part for me, I could never get it out no matter what I tried and even just holding them makes my hands smell lol. Also I had some warping on the blasters and legs and I hate the VC45 clone hands they use for whatever reason.
>>11811306>>11811511I'm very sure we were supposed to get a whole season without Grogu while Mando sorts all of his shit out. That way they can both develop and a reunion wouldve been more earned. The story was always going to be about Mando and Grogu, thats for certain. I doubt they planned for Mando to be THE Mandalorian and became the next ruler or someshit. That just wasnt his character. He is just a simple Mandalorian who finally found a small measure of peace. However disney got fucking scared of losing their literal only money maker after the actual disaster of the franchise so they decided to point a gun at Favreau's head and demand to cut all that and just have them reunite and milk the ever loving fuck and ruin the only good thing they had. The writers of Andor must have threatened to whistleblow disney pedos because how that shit did not get fucked with is beyond me. Regardless I will continue to enjoy Mando and Grogu adventures, but it did get ruined and it sucks.
Glupgoo shit already on clearance! None of it sold!
>>11816092>guard droid>B1 head>pelt-cloak (like a bunch of other Disney characters, for some reason)I'm glad I haven't seen the movie.
>>11811932It doesn't suck, that's the thing. It's a good movie. Grogu fucking sucks though.
>>11812075Well you see, MOTU actually has good, affordable toys out. Star Wars on the other hand, is shitting itself in public and can't even get toys on shelves, and the ones that are there are garbage that nobody wants from a movie nobody wanted.
>>11798673I think Hera's [spoiler]phones[/spoiler] are too small.
>>11816455out of all of those i would only bother with agen kolar, r4, and the quarren
>>11816455The galactic marine has my votes fuck the others.
>>11816455I've wanted Queen Amidala for a while.
>>11816455This line is so dead, Jesus
>>11816455Galactic Marine yesI want the Scout Trooper too
Anakin and Cody pack ended up at $45 rather than the $50 and $40 that was going around before.I might just preorder because I didn't preorder the black series purge trooper 2 pack and then it went up $10 and never came down. The Obi-Wan and Airborne pack hasn't gone down in price either so not sure there is any point in waiting.
>>11817806The $40 price was confirmed in store. This $45 is something that is happening online for whatever reason. Maybe they will adjust it but I'm just going to take a chance and wait for it to hit the pegs. There's still plenty of the Obi-Wan set at my store so I'm not gonna worry about grabbing this one straight away.
>business travel>Visit local mall>Purchased thisWhat should I think of it?>I think it should be smaller and cheaper
>>11817812>What should I think of it?>I think it should be smaller and cheaperWhy are you asking us what to think if you already have thoughts on it?
>>11817806>>11817809It's been updated online to $40 now
>We want definitive figures of the main movie characters >Hasbro: okay we heard you. Here is revenge of the sith Anakin and Obi-Wan!>but we reused parts on Obi-Wan so we had to give him ugly knees>also if you want them you have to pay double and get two clones with them>and you can only get them from walmartwhat a fail. Emily would never have done this.
>>11817812Waste of money
>>11817924I'm assuming this is the kind of situation where they wouldn't have been able to afford producing these figures at all without making a deal with Walmart so they had to just make up some bullshit
>>11818398That's what Chris or someone said about the first two pack, that it was the only way to put those characters out. Not sure if that refers to Obi-Wan or the airborne or both but either way that doesn't really make sense to me. Obi-Wan shouldn't have had any compromises and he deserved a full new tool mainline slot and the airborne is whatever, just a clone retool, not a priority. I won't pretend to know how their budgeting works but it feels like they often rush out something cheap instead of waiting to get the budget to do it right. Reminds me of the Stunticons and Menasor. They were doing so well until the last one. Instead of waiting to do a proper Breakdown, they rushed him out as a Wildrider repaint. Sometimes that's fine like the legs on that one Cassian Andor because who really gives a fuck but certain characters need to be done right like Obi-Wan or clone commandos and if it means waiting longer, so be it.
>>11817812What a ridiculous idea to get rid of both the Dark Saber and the Beskar Spear. Can’t let him have anything cool.
>>11818569Weapons are my religion>allows everything to be confiscated/taken
>>11818569Eh I get why they did it. They're never going to radically change his costume the way they do with most characters, so the best next thing is to constantly swap out his weaponry. But he will probably never be cooler than he was in BOBF when he walked around all kitted out with the spear and saber. At least with the movie he obtained the pulse rifle back and got to use some swords.
>>11818842I don't know WHY he never painted his armor! His old design is waaaay cooler, in my opinion, because it felt more HIS, whereas the beskar armor felt like an upgrade, yeah, but after a while, it also felt barren and naked, plain, cold, standard issue.They should've had him paint it at some point, both to show character growth, as well as to spice up the constant figure releases :/Also spear was peak, especially after losing his rifle; it kept that silhouette going. Darksaber was always a stupid donut steel lightsaber, just like Asohka's white sabers.If they really did want to do the whole "beskar is meant to protect", then just have smith change the tip to something else.
>>11818842Agreed. It could be redundant to have two melee weapons, but it was awesome to have them specially for different situations. Felt like a true warrior. The spear in particular, in a setting everyone had lightsaber variants made it feel there was a difference for Mandalorians in particular. And it actually balanced out with Darksaber’s weighted blows.>>11818864The spear is the one I’m most bummed about him losing.
Why the actual fuck hasnt actionverse embo or rotta the hutt come out yet? This is ridiculous
>>11818908>The spear is the one I’m most bummed about him losing.At least that had a good explanation for the reasoning behind it. Unlike the transfer of the Darksaber and no mandalorian acknowledging the significance of his achievement in reclaiming it. But as soon as Bo has it suddenly she's the special one who can walk two paths.
Did it, things weren't nearly as easy as I had hoped :/
>>11819228Ok, the elbows bugged me, went back on most of the swaps lolI was also very confused at how a lot of what seems like similar parts, were actually SLIGHTLY different, which made part swapping unnecessarily difficult, which leaves me to believe that Hasbro did this on purpose.Eh, whatever, guess I'll just have to paint a lot of these guys with silver paint... (Better than some of these schemes...)
>>11819228>>11819308what are you actually doing
>>11819496I WAS trying to address the horrible color combinations of these mandalorians armor, but it wasn't as easy as I thought. Still managed some swaps between the two normal mandalorians in the shriek pack, so they're good looking now, so I'm just going to paint the taller one and the female one to have better colors.
Have any of you done the home depot lightsaber thing?
>>11819661No, what kind of sex position is that?
>>11819661What's funny is back in high school metal shop, I had the idea to do something like that.... At the last week, when it was kinda too late...
>>11819783It's when you put a pipe coupling around the base of your dong and then you swing it around and duel with your friends.
>>11819228I did some parts swapping recently. It was to put the torso of the Mando that came with the N-1 onto the Imperial Base Mando legs. Now I have my definitive version of him with all his weapons, compatible with his jet pack, and has the barbell hips. So I guess thanks for nothing Hasbro, for not including the new hips on the N-1 version and forcing me to pick another Mando up at Ross.
>First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
>>11820135They ruined it a while ago
>>11818956>Why the actual fuck hasnt actionverse embo or rotta the hutt come out yet?Because the toys aren't selling and nobody is going to stock shit that doesn't sell.Look for 'em at Ollie's this December.
Pretty tired of the Ollie's meme desu, they haven’t gotten new Star Wars stuff in like 2 years
>>11820316Ross then.
>>11820135
>>11820338Yeah, my Ross consistently gets both black series and TVC. Also universal studios (monsters, e.t., BttF) Neca and Tmnt Neca.
>>11820742What TVC have you seen recently? Last ones I saw was IG-12 and Thrawn. Haven't even seen the usual suspects like Mando, Bo, or the acolyte shit for like a solid month.
>>11820749Last thing I got was actually some 501st clones (Kenobi flashback) my friend saw and picked up for me.
Custom painted the tall mandalorian, which I forgot to NOT wash, so now it doesn't match lolW/e, better than default rainbow armor.Also added some bullets to the two blue mandalorians for some extra details.Judge has a custom disintegrator, and the stock has been reduced a bit on the grenade launcher, so they can actually shoulder it.
>>11820749I've got like six 501st clones and that mando supercommando
Looks like the Traya/Nihilus two packs are starting to ship. Mine should get here Sunday.
>I got thisI don't know The figure comes under 1/10 scale I do like the mold and the general look But the paint job is a bit shoddy. All the white armor parts are paintedYou would think that's a good thing but not really. You know how with Black Series you have splashes of black paint on the white time to time. In this case, the non white and white paint jobs are not apply evenly. Most of the articulation are thereBut the way how high side thigh "spikes" on the hip, they did not do any special so even with a pull down hips you can't do kneeling pose. I just found it really strange they didn't use white plastic instead of full paint. Overall, coming in at 20 usd I won't say I can't recommend it. It does look good on the shelf from a distance with how big it is. If they come out with a 2.0 fixing all the minor gripes I have with the design production I think this trooper would be great. I hope Vader will turn out better
>>11821049Oh yeah, I got those too. Army builders are eating good at Ross lately. Hoping those Gamerverse tvc stormtroopers hit at some point.
>>11821643I hadn't seen anyone post these, I didn't know they were already out. Actually not sure where you can even get them from. 1/10 scale already turned me off but too bad quality isn't that good either. I never understand why companies paint parts that could easily be cast in a single solid color. It's more expensive to paint too.
Traya and nihilus should be here Friday.
>>11820135As someone just getting into Black series over the last year because of the increased amount of prequel figures; I think it’s the opposite. I collect Marvel Legends, Storm Arena, Jada and Figuarts and the modern Black Series actually has some of the most unique sculpting, very good face printing, and a nice mixture of cloth goods, and I’m not even usually a cloth goods enjoyer. A lot of them could use some more accessories like hands or interchangeable expressions, for sure. But I feel like his point of them making “premium” figures; they KINDA try to do that. Within the scope of a Marvel Legends style, American retail line.I am looking forward to Valaverse’s “extras” line of figures, which are basically just generic thugs like Shartimus Prime tried to make with his failed “Street Humans” kickstarter campaign. So I’ll give him props for that.
>>11821019Sick
>>11823760Yes black series figures can be quite good when they are all new tools and not repaints of 10 year old molds or inaccurate kitbashes. It’s not a bad line at all, the people that hate really just don’t know anything or don't have enough experience with toys.
Have I posted empire shelf yet? It's the only Star Wars display I've "finished"
>>11824311Ooh, that looks nice!Man, though, you reminded me that I never got a tie pilot! Does anybody know if the ones available in TVC have the ball hip joints? I remember an anon said that the swivel+hinge hips are functionally the same so there's no point in changing them; fak u! I wish they'd upgrade the storm troopers already! I'm never going back!
They look good. Into the pile they go
>>11821420mine said it was gonna ship and then they set it back to an unknown shipping date, typical amazon
>>11825283I can't believe we finally have a Kreia figure
>>11825578If they do Sion, HK or VIsas they could make so much money. HK especially I don't understand how they haven't made. Easy repaints between KOTOR and TSL plus the HK50s and 51s if they wanted to
Any good B1 Battle Droids besides the Black Series? I heard they can’t stand up well.
>>11825578>>11825698I hope Sion is packed with The Exile, who should be female, that's not even a controversial statement.They could probably do an Exile 2 pack, one male one female. People would pay for that.
>>11826170i think scion should be paired with kreia, they do have a history and all that an exile two pack is a good idea, especially if it came with alternate heads and saber colours, but i highly doubt hasbro would be that generous
>>11825283got mine too. I tihnk im gonna keep my old Nihilus and sell this one though.
Some stuff going up tomorrow. I'd actually want these if it wasn't for the inflated price.
That Jaina figure was pretty good back in the day, got a few on clearance for customs. This looks exactly the same except in orange. Plain as possible Jacen too.
>>11826794Oh shit. Outdated Jaina mold, plainest figures possible, but it's them.
>>11826794This is more proof that Disney knows they fucked up. Years of ignoring the EU and now they suddenly put this out. The EU being re-established as canon is not a matter of if but when at this point.
>>11826794orange flightsuit sucks but I can pass up these two. NJO was shit back in highschool. Star Wars is healing.
>>11826794purchasided
>>11826794Please give them to us in TVC and Anakin and the other friends from Junior/Young Jedi Knights
Heheh, managed to get the blokees AT-RT on AliExpress for only $18 shipped. Can't wait :3
>>11826170>They could probably do an Exile 2 pack, one male one female. People would pay for that.I know I would. More Jedi for the pile
Opened Rook Kask today. Dunno who she is or where she's from but she looks cool. >>11826794Ah neat I've been wanting a rebel pilot chick and needed an extra green lightsaber blade.
Did you guys know Darth Traya rocked combat boots? A true goth granny.
Yup, new queen of the collection.>>11826794Hell yeah. I've already got the black suit Jaina from way back when, but it's still one of my favorites and Jaina's my waifu, so I'll take the orange variant for Jacen. Hopefully we get a Darth Caedus too at some point.
>>11827206I don’t get why they keep reusing those shit Leia legs from like 2015 on female figures with skirts. Well I guess these are technically Shaak Ti’s with the retooled boots. But they’ve made better female legs with pinless knees that they could reuse instead. All the molds prior to about 2020 need to go away for good.
>There are dark places in the galaxy, where few tread. Ancient centers of learning, of knowledge...>>11827272It is a bit weird seeing a style of leg this old on a new release, even if it doesn't really matter that much because they'll always be covered.
Arc sold out. 88 on bbts
>>11827417I was gonna buy the Solos pack but it's a premium pulse exclusive and I don't care enough to sign up for anything like that.
>>11827425It opens to regular people at 1. I just ordered 2
Star Wars is so stagnant. Jesus Christ.
>>11827417>>11827425>>11827430I'm sure there will be more of these up on BBTS, but if they're adding an $8 upcharge anyway I guess it's better to be safe and just grab the Solos on Hasbro. Do not care about ARC's, may be selling all my clone wars guys except Republic Commando game team anyway.Purchasided + Boughtededededed
