Steve Evans on Instagram: “Hope you are as excited for the upcoming week as I am!!? 2019 is here and I have a feeling this is where the fun begins — Sadly I am…”
Yeah, things have changed...Disney still has a say in the choice of characters being released. They’re have this image of “women” they want to project - for better or worse. I’m not against the above but most of the time it feels too forceful - pun not intended! LOL! It’s amazing what digital face printing and strategic use of soft goods can do. I have the origin figure and it feels like a dud at times! But now I’m itching to get my muffs on him! Most likely and hopefully, he/she identified the issue. Some of my import stores pointed me that SW is selling briskly again...until I pointed out it’s because most of the new releases are based on the OT - which are bringing back the older fans. They need to fix the pricing too...I bought the BMF for around $180 but the newer, more simplistic electric one costs a whooping $300 in my country! Doh! Just be selective man! I believe this has already happened with the Deathstar trooper? I was so tempted to pick him but I rather focus on Stormies! For certain characters, I’m going ahead with S.H.F such as Bespin Luke - if he is ever released. Yeah, in my part of the world wave 1 was heavily scalped but wave 2 was “dumped”! X)
Hoping to see Figuarts Bespin Luke sans anime eyes, I prefer the realistic face prints Bandai was making before TLJ Rey
This! And...Bib Fortuna and I’m DONE with the OT side! Agreed man! IMO things started getting too anime-ish with the reissued ROTJ Luke...not just the eyes but the golden hair too!
^Good luck standing that guy up, he's a pain..... Awesome figure though..... ^ Yes they did.... And guess what I did, I sold my loose Death Star Trooper with the regular face and bought the one with the face print tech..... OCD is a pain in the butt sometimes.....
Was looking at the celebration exclusive Darth Maul on eBay. Sigh... convention exclusives ain't cheap.
Thankfully he & Obi-Wan will be getting retail releases later this year so I'm not concerned about getting them at the moment. Darth Maul will be released in the Archive Line while Obi-Wan will get a regular Black Series release.
Garindan! Also the "I don't like you much either!" guy with his butt-mouth walrus cohort. That strange looking pilot guy who rides in the Falcon with Lando in ROTJ. Also a ROTJ Lando while we're at it. Old man Captain Rex in his ROTJ rebel uniform.
Conversely, young Ahsoka in her Padawan outfit, so the existing BS Ahsoka and Rex will have accurate counterparts.
Didn’t they backtrack on the whole “Old Rex was in ROTJ” thing because people accused them of retroactive whitewashing? Anyways, I want a TVC Shaak Ti using the new face and paint tech. Cad Bane would be nice too.
Phase 2 BS troopers on the way Toy Shiz on Instagram: “MAXIMUM CLONAGE (for StarWars) shout to @blainerr for the photo, he spotted some Clone Troopers in the @hasbro Black Series Display! Get…”
... Rex isn't white. He's a clone of a character who was portrayed by a Kiwi actor. Awesome! Can use these for custom fodder so I don't have to paint my kits.
Oh yes! Phase II in it's individual packaging??? Oh yes oh yes oh yes!!! Now then they can just slap on some paint and we'll get the 212th Attack Battalion troopers, the 104th Wolf Pack Battalion, 327th Star Corps troopers, 501st Legion/Battalion, ARC Troopers, 41st Elite Corps, Rancor Battaltion, Shock Troopers (Coruscant Guard), Commander Doom's Unit, 91st Reconnaissance Corps, Shadow Clone Troopers...oh man...sooo many of them!
What’s the blast effect like on that deluxe dead stormtrooper? He’s on sale here now. I think they were TRU exclusives. The main thing putting me off is the damage effects are all identical, and most my stormiest are clean or sandy...
