I wouldn’t mind a new BS Mando with removable helmet and new tooled head and Darksaber. I’m also hoping to see more TVC Bad Batch, some completion of the original 96, TVC Peli, and one day…..for the love of Yoda…..a completely retooled TVC Bespin Luke.
I was also thinking about maybe some more Black series Galaxy's Edge Exclusives. Was thinking maybe a new set with Mando and Boba since they now walk around the park.
I had some ideas for galaxy’s edge exclusives. set 1 resistance rescue Poe Dameran in xwing suit Finn in stormtrooper outfit Bb8 Exclusive lieutenant bek set 2 First Order authority Kylo Ren in proper hood Stormtrooper Mouse droid Exclusive Probe droid set 3 bounty hunter team Fennec shand Mando Grogu in bag Exclusive Boba Fett with proper pants, boots and skirt. tell me what you think.
How would one know that the toy looks beautiful if they never take it out of the box and put it together?
Personally I take everything out of their boxes these days, but respect those who have the storage to keep them boxed up as well (or saving boxes).
For me personally, I've never understood in box collecting, especially in regards to packaging that doesn't have windows. I try not to disrespect those that do enjoy it, it just honestly makes no sense to me.
Thanks for the heads-up! I thought it was a cool feature, then they just never did it again. With minor tweaks, the cantina could’ve doubled as an exterior for street scenes, but I guess they aren’t doing that any more.
My speeder bike got pushed back until Thursday (thanks Amazon!) which sucks because we’re leaving for a week Thursday morning. :-/
Sounds awesome, I'd be 100% down for the Resistance and First Order sets! Here's another MGS blind box I painted up, the AT-RT! The Clone AT-RT Driver is using the phase 1 trooper it originally came with, I just clipped off the crest on top of the helmet to get the helmet shape more accurate:
Picked up Target-exclusive Black Series Ferrix Imperial Officer on clearance for $13, he's the Solo Mud Trooper Han Solo body cast in entirely black with almost no paint to the uniform and no cloak or rebreather mask. Technically he's named wrong, as he's an Imperial Security Trooper, not an officer. The helmet still has the same wonky opening design but it doesn't stand out as a problem when the goggles are posed covering the top of the helmet opening. The head looks decent, it's cast in a darker shade like either it's a tan white guy, or a swarthy Mediterranean-type, or a Hispanic or Middle-Eastern - the nose sculpt goes along with that; it's based on a real actor on the show, I'm not sure if he was any darker than the obvious white guys in the scene though, as fascists generally are racists and Andor stuck with that. The face printing looks good but I noticed some very slight eye drift on the various samples Target had, so pick the one you like best. Aside from the helmet and goggles, he sports the Rogue One-style E11 Stormtrooper blaster with the integrated flashlight, it's a nice sculpt with clean paint, but it's the wrong accessory for this guy as he sported a riot shield and a baton on the show, and the E11s that were sported by non-armored security troopers didn't have the flashlight. My intent is to have him at the back of my squad of v2 Stormtroopers, leading from behind like the hero he isn't, so I may swap in a smaller blaster if I can think of a figure who has one (perhaps the Death Trooper). Ultimately, it's a decent enough figure for $13 clearance price, but they have some nerve charging $27 for a barely-painted body with the wrong weapon.
No doubt, but for that high pricetag he's sporting, they should have either given him more paint, or if they had the chance, included the riot shield and baton. Oh, or a second head because he's distinctive and at $13 I would have bought a few if it weren't "Carl from ImpSec".
