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.
Black series figure of saddam hussein's darth vader helmet soldier fucking when?
>>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?
