I'm liking the new Gentle Giant Jumbo Han Stormtrooper figure for the premium guild. Won't be hard to convince me that he should be hanging out with Luke on my shelf. I do wonder if he'll get the full POTF treatment with coin and all?
Before I go listing it anywhere else, if anybody wants the Pulse Con exclusive version of the Armorer, hit me up (she is opened FYI but with packaging).
I still have this gut feeling his throne along with Boba Fett and Fennic will be a future Convention Exclusive.
I had a chance to open Cad Bane today and wow, what a great figure. I know I shouldn't have, but I drilled 2 tiny holes in his booster rockets and added some blast effects from the ML White Widow. Anyway, he's awesome, my only regret is not getting the exclusive with Toto 360.
Finally opened a bunch of the black series helmets I've had for awhile... The mandalorian helmet is very impressive with the metallic beskar sheen and quite a bit more heft to it...
My VC Endor Leia finally arrived today. In box and perfect condition. What an ordeal. This thing shipped on 6/23.
Funny, mine just showed up too! Mine was shipped on the 24th and crawled its way across the continent in a bag. Luckily the card isn't too messed up.
I was worried about how beat up mine would be but I’m an opener so I cared more about just getting it. Sad how long it look. Walmart and Target are both getting so unreliable about preorders and shipping. I reflected recently and realized that preorders aren’t really helping my urgency with the hunt because of my desire to have it first and worry over not getting it at all despite preordering. I need to get over the first thing but then find a reliable etailer for the second. I feel like Dorkside has been getting things earlier than others lately so I may lean there more often in the future. Update: I’m really happy with this Leia despite a few shortcomings. The new photorealistic face was done well. This is a very old mold but could really use ball joint hips because her stance works well for riding a speeder bike but not for plain standing poses. They should have shortened the bottom of the picture poncho because I don’t think it’s supposed to run that long. Comparison pick with Black Series Endor Leia which I think works much better. I may trim it down later. Otherwise I never picked up the original VOTC Endor Leia so I’m happy I waited and have this in hand now. I’ll probably display her without the poncho.
