    No Black Series Cyborg Space Hipsters?!?! Hmm, though TVC versions with repulsor scooters would also be interesting…

    Still can't wait to see a Black Series...

    Black Krrrsantan.

    After watching today's episode. I've been waiting for Krrrsantan to do what a wookie is special for.

    do you guys think
    Haslab may give another run with Rancor redone with show centric figures/accessories, given the recent developments on it on Book of Boba Fett? I mean they already spent the engineeing costs on it…

    They didn't really, it was 3d printed, no tooling was actually made. So just your standard R&D then.

    Perhaps shrink it down to be the juvenile and sell it at a much reduced price as well? The old bigger one is much more iconic though. But the price was always the big issue with it and if they won't budge on that for the original proposed version, then a smaller figure seems like the only option.

    I also cannot wait for a Krrsantan even more every episode. But with how slow releases have been from The Mandalorian, I wouldn't be surprised if we aren't getting him until this time next year.

    Currently on a debate. There is a store I know that's selling full cases of current wave of black series.

    This was easily my favorite episode of the show so far. Both the flashback stuff and the present day stuff was interesting; dropping a seismic charge into the Sarlacc is exactly what I was hoping would happen when we saw the Slave 1 approaching it. Really liked the musical cue from Mando when Boba sees the signal flares being fired, too.

    Speaking of musical cues from Mando, hearing his theme at the end of the episode has me PUMPED for next week. Excited to see what Din's been up to since dropping Grogu off with Luke!

    This is a weird side thing, but when the chef droid spins its knives I swear I heard Starscream's transformation sound in the movies. He has a really distinctive 3 note blade-like sound, and it really sounds like they partially reused that sound, at least on first viewing. Wouldn't be the first time a Transformers sound got used in Star Wars, one of the Rathtars in TFA makes part of Blackout's hacking noise from the first movie.

    Yeah i understand no tooling was made, but i'm sure costs were entailed when they had to design the figure etc. It's still R&D work that they need to recover if ever. Shrinking it down would reduce some of the costs, the question is, with the costs that low, would some retailer be willing to take a chance on it already? Anyway, I suspect with the way they're building it up, we'll most likely have a big Boba and Rancor moment down the line, and those big moments can sell a lot of toys! :lol

    I got a shipping notice from Wal-Mart for the TVC Din/Grogu/Spiders pack, it might get here today.

    I really hope they don't shrink it and just would give it another head to swap. It'll grow and would be better to be able to double as both.

    A While ago, I mentioned a future wave of Black Series containing Republic Security Droid and 3 Mandalorian season 2 characters. Well rumors have now released on who those 3 characters are. They are...

    Still thinking about ordering a case of the next wave of Black Series because I found one in stock. Only I don't want Yavin Leia. But give me one good reason to want Bib Fortuna, Walrus Guy and Dr. Evazan.
