got hoth leia retro-style from walmart today...that just leaves yoda and boba on my 'hope they come back to online ordering' list... I guess hopefully we'll see 40th anniversary ROTJ black series carded and ROTJ retro style figures in 3 years? I think they'd be a little hard-pressed to come up with a series for ROTJ black since they've done so few aliens... Just off the top of my head I guess they could do: Jedi Luke Huttslayer Leia (or Boussh I guess, depending on how the archive vote goes) Biker Scout Emperor Darth Vader (unmask to Anakin) Royal Guard Lando Skiff Guard
Lando the Skiff Guard is standing on my desk right now guarding my Dremel (I don’t have a Skiff). He’s actually an excellent figure!
I bought the Lando Skiff Guard on a whim and really love him. He's standing guard holding his pike like he does on the card (really close enough to make it look good).
Admiral Ackbar will have been out by then so add him to the list. I think Luke/Leia/Han Endor are on lists for upcoming waves so they'd be available. Gamorrean Guard as the Pulse $30 exclusive figure. I remember when I first say the vintage figure of him. The green on the card just stuck out and I've loved it ever since.
The paint on mine is about perfect and the joints are great. The face printing did wonders compared to the original Bespin Lando. I recently got him from BBTS (he was on clearance for around $13).
How can you tell? I thought the ordering of the squares was randomized. Either way, I’ve been voting for those two, plus Ahsoka and 501st Clone. Y’all will have to let me know who wins the vote! Unless Hasbro reveals the winner in early June and not late June, I won’t know until August.
We will keep you posted. I'm still checking stores every second to see if the next wave preorders go up.
Oh, man I read this wrong. I have the Vintage 3.75" one... I never knew there was a 6" one! Man good thing I never saw the 6" one.
Had just got in the mail Black series Commander Bly which is 1 of my favorite. This is from a friend to pay him but super happy cause that figure is tough to find. Had gotten a few others in the box but just super happy i gotten those too.
So ... Updated with the Results - Commander Cody Wins! Vote for the Next Black Series Archive Photoreal Refresh from Hasbro - Star Wars News Net Here are the top ten choices voted by the SWNN readers: 1. Commander Cody 2. Ahsoka Tano 3. Greedo 4. Slave Leia 5. Qui Gon Jinn 6. Revenge of the Sith Obi-Wan 7. Jyn Erso 8. Leia Boushh Disguise 9. Sequel trilogy Luke 10. R2-D2
I forgot about the Gammorean, but I figure his size would preclude him being included... might be interesting if they did a 40th carded slave Leia as she never got a release in the original line
I believe that was a vote for that site. It's not the final vote for Hasbro Pulse. For one thing, there is no Sequel Luke or R2 in the final vote. Plus the news was posted May 11th. Sorry!
If I recall correctly, one of my “import” sources told me (around the SDCC or Toyfair that revealed the ML Thanos Endgame) that we are going to have more PT and CW Black Series characters... (*I think it was Endgame Thanos because I wanted to drop a hint like “prune facs@. Seeing the number of PT releases since then I don’t see any reasons that Hasbro will change course... I know there are fans of the ST but merch for those really didn’t sell. I think even a representative from Diamond Select mentioned that.
I would love to see figures from the final order from Rise of skywalker including Palpatine’s guards. Though they weren’t in the film long they still looked bad ass.
Yeah, the must have been a website poll, the Pulse vote doesn't close till Friday, and then the winner will be announced in June. I'm still hoping for Quigon or Obiwan. I would be more on board with Ashoka if it was the Clone wars version.
