Hot Toys May the 4th reveals
>>10974572New Ep 1 Darth Maul
>>10974575We only have previews so far of the Dark Empire Luke but he looks really nice, it’s great they’re finally doing legends characters
>>10974577
>>10974575Tempted
>>10974598he does look pretty good, they’re putting a big emphasis on the likeness compared to the older one (new on right)
>>10974604it looks much more accurate to the screen appearance even has the mistakes in the face paint
Jesse and Fives up for preorder
>>10974646>>10974604Looking them side by side the original head has such a weird shape. The new one is 200% better.
>>10974604>>10974646I've been pretty impressed by the newer sculpts. Still waiting on fucking ESB Han...
>>10974702I preordered ROTJ Han, if he doesn’t get announced by the time that comes out it could easily be modified to ESB Han
Apparently someone got this as a YouTube ad, I think I’m gonna cum
>>10974722Lame
>>10974728nah Palpatine looks great
>>10974722Looks like the SBD comes with a blast effect which is nice
>>10974722I just want barrel roll The Senate Sheev figure. At least the unlimated power head sculpt is made.
6 inch Enoch when
>>10974778whenever mafex feels like announcing him
>>10974778He's pipelined already so it shouldn't be longer than a year. TVC is getting him August, I imagine the BS one will at least go up for order during Walmart's next Collector Con in the fall since it's an exclusive there.
>>10974722>soft goods robe>plastic helmetAt least they're learning, a plastic hood would've really saved the ROTJ Palpatine instead of having to mess with the awkward cloth hood
>>10974682Not seeing them, did they get taken down?
>>10974790A simple wash will make the plastic hood look even better, less shiny. Plastic hoods are a must for 3.75 and 6 inch. Maybe you could do sewn down hoods but it’s not cost effective on the mass produced scale.
>>10974791He's probably posting from the UK which is why he hid the price.
>>10974722WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS
>>10974722Oh wow, I'd actually buy something Black Series again.
>>10974646Man, they really didn't even try to blend the horns into the skin in that film huh? Couldn't spring for a little bit of spirit gum to make the transition a little smoother? Just went right for sticking it on with some silly putty.
>>10974568I'm debating on Revan or Starkiller as my first hot toys. Thoughts from those who own the line?
Reminder that the fan stream is tomorrow. I won't be able to post screenshots as I usually try and do so maybe someone else here can.
>>10975420Not interested in fat loser and dumb bitch asian woman pretending to know anything about Star Wars.
>>10975424Me either but I'm interested in the toys so...
>>10974722Oh man can't wait to get these next May, just in time for the pipeline announcement of prequel Yoda
>>10975420I thought it would be on the 4th...
>>10975585They want their Saturday off
>>10975566How many pipelines have even made it out? GI Joe is flooded and seems like it just keeps coming.
>>10975586Makes sense. I lost track of the days.
>>10974884I mean he is on the move or hooded 99% of the time, also theathers didn't had the same image quality we get today. A lot of pratical effects like this can't survive 4k and beyond.
>>10974565Figure looks sick but it's been a lifetime since I read Dark Empire, why Luke wearing his dad pants?
>>10975632Because the cover art. He's doesn't in the actual comic. The old Kenner figure is actually more accurate.
>>10974565Thoughts on epic hero series? Has potential or cancelled by years end?
Whose ready for Pipelines?????
Does the BS Luke+Grogu set use the same head sculpt as the BS Jedi Knight Luke from Mando?
>>10975632Cause of cover art.
>>10975947>>10975632but Cam Kennedy's art interprets it a bit differently and I prefer it.
>>10975420Only an hour away, predictions for the livestream? I’m assuming the Palpatine and SBD are gonna be the big black series reveals, but what could we see as far as TVC and other BS figures? I also bet we will at least see a haslab tease.
>>10975945looks the same as far as I can tell
>>10975948I wish this would get reprinted. Sure the story is hacky but Kennedy's art shines.
>>10975857As much potential as the 2 inch shitters Mission Fleet with non articualted figures. It's 2024 only a handful of boomers collect 5poa shit. Even lego figs have better articualtion.
>>10975976No idea for TVC. It depends how much of what they had ready to show revolves around the HasLab. At this point I've given up. My expectations are low, though. They made it pretty clear that the HasLab and the stuff that could tie into it were their big May 4 focus, so without it I'm expecting maybe Baylan or some other shit I don't care about.
>>10975947I fricking love star wars I'm a real fan
>>10975632I fricking cried when I saw that collectible figure, truly a masterpiece
>>10976003These arent 5poa...
>>10976014unironically this
Stream up:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GczHurTsdQI
>>10974702>Still waiting on fucking ESB Han...Fucking THIS!!!! They showed him in promo shots for Bespin Gown Leia years ago.>>10974719>ROTJ Han, if he doesn’t get announced by the time that comes out it could easily be modified to ESB HanI don't think so personally, the heads really are distinct and ROTJ Han was a bit fatter. But I hate the forehead wrinkles on that Endor Han. And somehow I guess I skipped Endor Leia so I'll just skip Endor Han too.
Reissue three pack.
>Just one reveal for The Vintage CollectionSnooze.
>>10974722>Apparently someone got this as a YouTube adI can't imagine NOT blocking yt ads
Oh man TBS chads are eating good this may 4th. But you TVC boomers? Man, I almost feel bad for you. At least your Haslab will probably be alright, whever that happens.
2 pack
>>10976061Fricking hope so
>>10976066I know, it's fricking cold man
>>10976061nah it's a new mold for maul entirely
>>10976071Garbage
>>10976017Fricking true
>>10976075Why do you have to be so fricking toxic This fanbase used to be so fricking epic
>>10976075Bro, your council chair?
>>10976071This and literally every other TBS reveal this stream are instant preorders for me. They're really giving prequelfags the A-list treatment this year and I'm loving it.
>>10976081Fricking true anonino
black series bros… WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
hobo troopers 2 pack
>>10976087Let's fricking go!
>>10976090Thank goodness they put the unique leader in the two pack, that way no one will buy multiple to troop build. Hasbro hates troop builders.
TVC rebel pilot 4 pack
>>10976092This is fricking true, troop anoninos, I'm there for you
>>10976095yeah, I'm feeling a TVC AT-AT reissue
Why do they make troop builders exclusives? It's very frustrating.
BS pipelines
>>10976104>>10976092>Hasbro hates troop builders.
TVC pipelines
>>10976108I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed.
>>10976104Fricking frustrating indeed
>>10976105>ANH Leia againDidn't she get an archive figure already? You can't convince me that they're not just repackaging unsold units over and over at this point.
>>10976095This is neat, thought I wish they would have done more variety on the helmets.
remember last time when black series got barely any reveals? yeah black series chads are eating good today mmmm yummy
>>10976114Fricking true anon, I'm literally crying of emotion
>>10976105>6 inch farmboy LukeTVC collectors on suicide watch
>>10976119soon they'll be dead just like the line itself
>>10976108Oh boy, literally the worst "playset" idea possible
>Have pre-orders on May 4th 1pm>All the rabid SW will be in theaters watching Episode I>Scalpers scoop up every preorderGod fucking damnit Hasbro. You couldn't be more stupid.
>>10976125This is why I bought my ticket for the 5:30pm showing tomorrow
>>10976119>>10976121>>10976121You guys are so fricking sad, get outside, live your life and be happy for what you have, let's not make toy's a toxic place
>>10976131I am sitting outside right now
>>10976134Let's fricking go!Enjoy the fresh air
>>10976108If that playset includes the armorer, I'll be upset, we don't need another, there's no significant design differences. I'd rather get the set cheaper without the figure then get a double. Plus anyone who would be interested in the set likely already has the armorer. I hope the Anakin at least has updated tooling since there's already a clone wars armored Anakin. I guess a Mando 4 pack is ok... A bit disappointing all in all
>>10976105Rebel Fleet and Stromtrooper is good. Luke and Leia are good, although I already own the SH Figuarts for both of them. >>10976111It’s gonna be a complete retool. Both those Luke and Leia were from very early in the line and used shitty cloth goods. I’m assuming these will be fully sculpted and look a million times better.
>>10976061Looks cool and all but at this point I feel like I'm satisfied with the three I already have. The Maul sculpt is outdated yeah but at the same time I don't think the new one is good enough for me to buy a three pack just for one figure.Glad we're getting a prequel Yoda but I've been cutting back on collecting clone commanders so I'm probably going to sell that Gree. Plus I don't think we've ever seen a phase 2 version of him that didn't have the jungle camo.
>>10976155>I hope the Anakin at least has updated toolingI imagine it does. I don't care about it either way though, to be honest. It's slightly more enticing than more Mando-spam (it really is endless), but it's low on my list of wants even by the standards of prequelshit. If the figure looks great I'll consider it, but who knows how many months away that will be.
>>10976061I mean the SHF ones are still superior, right?
What a complete disappointment
>>10976061I don't have Qui Gon or Obi Wan and I don't have TPM Maul. I'm kinda tempted to get this.
>>10976197It's a good set if you don't already have any of them.
>>10976188Yes cause they can pull off multiple two handed lightsaber poses
>>10976188Figuarts Qui-Gon always looked pretty bad to me. You'll get better articulation out of it though.
Ded franchise kek
>>10976200Yeah, I thought I was only gonna be in for the Super Battle Droid and Sheeve but that three pack is tempting.
>>10976108>more blue mandosSo happy.
>2 character variations we should've gotten years ago>exclusives>multipacks>more repaints>more repacks>more reissuesGenuinely crushing how far this brand has fallen. I'm glad I like GI Joe at least.
>>10976250Yeah as an OT fan, this was kind of disappointing.
>>10976105>Dagan I'm happy we are getting more figures based on those games, but why are they afraid of making Malicos???
>>10976262eh, OT fags already have good versions of every major and most minor characters that 99% of people would want. At this point, OT fags just need random background alien #43 but prequels are/were still missing major characters or the ones we do have are terrible. I will say, that as an OT fan myself, the updated ANH luke and leia are pretty exciting.
>>10976270Idk there’s still a few I think most OT fans would want>Nien Nunb>Lobot>Bespin security guards>Mon Mothma>Death Star gunner>AT-ST Driver>Captain Antilles>Owen Lars>Beru LarsAnd these are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Most of these I think most OT only collectors would pick up. I would also take any named imperial officer and they could do tons of protocol and astromech repaints but those are more questionable if they would sell well at all.
>>10976281Those are all background/side characters with little relevance to the larger story. Are they cool characters? Yes and I would buy several of those. But when we compare it to the prequels that are just now getting characters like Yoda and Palpatine, it's clear to see that the prequels needed a lot more love than OT.
>>10976285True, I think I’m just burned out on prequel shit because of all the clones and clone wars shit that was happening for a while
>>10976292yeah man I don't get all the clones. I like having one or two but some people just want to buy 10,000 clones and Hasbro seems hellbent on devoting 1/3 of every wave to more clones. Makes 0 sense to me and I like the prequels/ clone wars.
>sheev and SBD are fan channel>hobo troopers are walmart exclusive>yoda and gree are pulse+disney exclusive>TPM pack is gamestop exclusiveat least we know the tpm pack will be pennies in a few months
>>10976267>strong and based white maleAt least Dagan has some evil prince charm (he's basically Elric in Star Wars), but Taron is too strong. Also no Merrin, can't have hot girls in plastic.
>>10976155It's definitely going to include the Armorer. I doubt they would do something left field like one of the Aqualish thugs that was living at her forge after it was abandoned. If anything they will probably give her a faux fur material for her shawl to make it different from the regular carded version and maybe throw in her jetpack from season 3.
>>10976071Fuck yeah I hope they release some grunt 41st elite corps clones to army build there is a severe lack of green clones. Tired of the nth iteration of 501st clone.
>>10976399Honestly I'm with >>10976293. Don't you have enough clones? What is the appeal of having dozens of clones on the wall with slightly different paint jobs. I get having a few, but some people just seem to be in the line for the clones. They're not even THAT interesting of a sci-fi military all things considered. They're just kinda set dressing to setup the betrayal of the jedi more than anything.
>>10976071>Mmm! slice your head off I will!
>>10976419Why does it bother you? There are guys out there that just collect Astromechs or only Darth Vaders too. Either way, I hope you realize the line has a large budget for new tooling because people buy a lot of the easy repaints like clones.
I guess there's no reason to be excited about Star Wars toys. These reveals have to be some of the weakest, most unimaginative ever.
I hope that headsculpt for the Duros X-Wing pilot isn't going to go to waste for just this one pack...
>>10976081>tcw greefiloni still trying to usurp the movies i see
>>10976513>I guess there's no reason to be excited about Star Wars
this looks like shit
>>10976621I’ve just accepted the fact we’ll never get an accurate commando at this point.
>>10976621Those shoulderpads are WAY too small.
>>10976099Those are standard pilot uniforms, not the hoth uniforms.
>>10976426When did I say it bothers me? No but seriously, why? You didn’t answer before.
>>10974722I imagine a limited edition bought by scalpers and only 2000 made chanenigans like always
>>10976707It's the opposite. They're both mainline items.
Mighty Jabba’s Collection bros… Wtf is thishttps://youtu.be/i_OxPL7XgK4?feature=shared
>>10976092The Night Troopers are anti-troop build by design. Technically everyone single one is supposed to be unique.
>>10976092They're probably going to release a two pack of just the troopers exclusive to Pulse/fan channel with different looks and then another single version in the mainline. There's no way they tooled less parts for these with the wrapped armor than TVC got with that multipack. Especially when they know they can make a shit load of more money by stretching them out like that.
>>10976655>I’ve just accepted the fact we’ll never get an accurate commando at this point.That's why I went custom.
>>10976621Do we even see a grey one in the Bad Batch?
>>10976825Yes, they were all over Tantiss.
>>10976829>show off scorch all season>so he can do absolutely nothing the whole time and then unceremoniously get shot and die falling off a bridgewho the fuck thought that was a good idea?
>went into walmart to browse the BS figures>a single Tech, Echo, and Hunter sitting on the shelf marked down to $10 each>after that shitshow of an ending I left them
>>10976881season 1 or 2 versions
>>10976885They all suck, does it matter?
>>10976105Literally why that Leia? Again? It's like these faggots are stuck spinning tires and they can't think beyond the same two versions of a character. Son of a fucking bitch.
>>10976907I don't know, they've only ever released the ANH outfit 3 times, and it's not like there are any other versions of Leia they could do at this point. Certainly none that would perfectly compliment the slew of RotJ figures we've gotten over the last couple years...
>>10976916We’re never getting Huttslayer Leia.
>>10976918B-BUT PATRICK SAID-
>>10976095>males and females using the same body mold
>>10976933We need a new Porkins.
>>10976933I wonder if the female pilot they pipelined for the E-Wing will be on a new body.
>>10976933Are you surprised this is a Disney franchise
>>10976933eh, I don’t mind. makes it easier to swap them with male heads since we never saw female pilots in the OT. There was two that were supposed to be in ROTJ, but one of them had their scenes cut and the other was dubbed after the fact by a male.
Toys 2 PlayToys 4 Boys
>>10976988Are you going to give them new helmets too since those ones are all New Republic based?
What are the best clear display stands for Black Series?
>>10977029You should probably clarify whether or not you want the stands to be able to be used for flying poses or not. I use those dirt-cheap clear NECA stands for ground posed figures and goodsmile simple stands for flying poses. Both are pretty good. Bandai action bases are also always a solid, if expensive and bulky option.
>>10976829Ah, my mistake. They are Scorch's unit.
Went and watched Phantom Menace in the theaters. Brought back a lot of good memories. Made me happy for all the great Episode I toys out there.Also the Disney shit still sucks.
>>10977124I'm picking up a friend of mine to go tomorrow. I was 4 when it came out and can't remember if I saw it in theaters or not (earliest I remember seeing in theater is Ep3) so I'm pretty excited. He's never seen the prequels (Only OT) so it's gonna be great for him. Really glad you enjoyed it. Do the theaters do anything special for it?
Tfw no girlfriend 2 play toys with :(
I can’t stand the fucking sequel trilogy and it’s era!!
Well Tales of the Empire was a bust. The Barriss episodes weren't great but there was at least some sort of story there. The Morgan episodes were just "Grievous killed her clan and she's going to be mad about it for the rest of her life" and it felt like such a waste of time.
>>10977124Which version of phantom menace did they even play? The current version on disney+, or the original one from 1999?
>>10977175what's even the difference?
>>10977176puppet yoda, shorter podrace and some other small things like a more obvious reshoot wig
>>10977175More than likely it's the current version
>>10977176There are a couple differences.
>>10976001It's getting an omnibus reprint later this year combining both the Thrawn and Dark Empire Trilogies. It's my most anticipated comic release of the year - don't sleep on it cos it's gonna skyrocket like the previous releases after it goes OOP.
Israël = CanonPalestine= non-canon
>>10974565I need to find a new job that gives me more hours and better payment.
>>10977175It was the extended blu-ray version. CG Yoda, longer Podrace, etc.
>>10976001>>10977185>not owning the original comics or the dark horse tradesWhere do you people even come from? China? India?The trades were in print for decades. I bet they even had one or two omnibuses at Dark Horse.They even sold reprints of the original comics at the Star Tours shop at Disneyland for a longass time.
>>10977288Are they hard to get now or something? I know I had trouble getting Empire's End for a while, but eBay finally helped me out with that.
Happy May the 4th bros, I’m seeing Phantom Menace later tonight
>>10977386Wish Star Wars was in better shape than it is now.
>>10977240Damn. Alright, thanks
is there a good custom bald head for crosshair that goes on the black series figure?I want to get a figure of his normal design but repaint it to the season 3 paintstripped black armour, but his head wouldnt fit as it has hair
>>10976939Agreed
>>10977185$135?! get fucked. I only want the Dark Empire stuff and you can get those way cheaper.
>>10977452Yeah that price sucks
happy star wars day bros

>>10977386>>10977124I saw it last night and I'll probably go tonight again since I have a gift card. I might pick this up to put on the bottom shelf of my detolf. I doubt Hot Toys will ever get to this. I do fear that it will look like absolute shit next to the hot toys, but I really like the embroidery on it. On the other hand, its $130 I could put towards an actual hot toy.
>>10977457Rey looks like THAT?!
>>10976885Season 2 versions from the trend pod walmart put out back in like September.Hell I was still finding Jesse and Fives from it for around $20 in Walmart's until march.

>>10977288>Where do you people even come from?It just wasn't something I was interested in owning. >>10977185That's nice, though I mostly dislike omnibus editions.
>>10977484Speaking of Droid factory, found a case of these at bargain Hunt yesterday for $6 each. Was some BB droids as well.>picked up black and red droids
Snagged two Silent But Deadlys. August is looking to be a very heavy month for Star Wars releases. I'm already looking at nearly $300
>>10977517Damn this May 4th has hit my wallet really damn hard as well. That hasbro stream yesterday was legitimately the best black series reveal that I've ever seen. So many good figures. I got palps and the SBD, as well as the new Darth Maul 3 pack, now I just need to wait for yoda to become available to the general public. Never thought I'd be pre ordering 7 figures at once but here we are.
This has been the worst May The Fourth I’ve ever seen.
>>10977471Maaay the Farts Be Wit You
>>10977531Worst that you've ever seen, did Kathleen Kennedy personally molest you today or something? I'm not sure what else could ruin such a solid lineup of reveals for you.
>>10977545I don’t see how you could call this solid. This is pathetic compared to what we used to get.
>>10977545>a solid lineup of reveals
>>10977547I can call it solid because we got more than half a dozen excellent-looking TBS figures and despite a limited showing for TVC, the figures they did show looked great. And by all accounts, the hype for the Haslab those guys are about to get is well-founded. Even the more children-oriented lines had some great reveals like the new Grievous. For richfags, there have been several new Hot Toys revealed, like the new Revan, that lots of people are excited about. It's a solid showing by all accounts unless you just can't wait for TVC.
>>10977550
>>10977519So far I've got>2 Black Series Super Battle Droids>2 TVC Night Trooper sets>TVC Kanan>TVC Ezra>TVC Zeb>2 TVC Cal Kestis Officer disguise>TVC Mandalorian JudgeI guess it's more like $250 now since I had two of the TVC Captain Rex's preordered as well and I just got an Amazon email saying it was moved up to July. Still, that's piling up quickly. Especially since I have stuff flanking all that in June and September.
Preordered the female nite owl and Merc Baylan from walmart and got a free May the 4th pin out of it.Might preorder the Mando Privateer from target since I've had a $20 gift card burning a whole in my pocket since Christmas.
>>10974565>Imagine wanting to own a figure of a zionist pigWouldn't be me.
I think the only downside to Ep3 Sideous is he needs multiple heads, dude is a reaction image goldmine
>>10977599
>>10977457This was back when Star Wars was allowed to have sexy women, fuck Kennedy and fuck Disney
CONSOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!IT'S GOYSLOP DAY!!!!SPEND! SPEND! SPEND!!!!!!!God I hate how fucking crass this shit is. I'm glad it wasn't this bad back in the 80s
>>10977599I know that if they ever do the office duel version they'll have alternate scarred and non-scarred heads and hands and then charge $35 for it
>>10977611Did you bought something today?
>>10977615>Did you boughtESL. I don't buy anything that isn't OT, and while I do collect the SW Micro Galaxy Squadron I'm skipping their bullshit overpriced "exclusive" set where they rerelease stuff with a few new paint wipes and add $20-30 more than if you bought the same shit at retail. See the Endor set and the TPM Disney store set for how they are gouging the shit out of the fans. No, I didn't buy anything today, and even if I would have, the crassness of every licensee begging for sales is just insane.
I'm fucking sick of Hasbro just making sequel shit, there's so much OT stuff that's never been made it's not even funny
>>10977623Yes, anon. English is my second language. I should have said: did you “buy” something today? I apologize.
>>10977613Its gonna be interesting to see what they do for the RotS line.>Obiwan>Darth Vader Anakin>Sideous/Windu 2 pack with removable windu arm action and 2 heads for Sideous (I'm so tired and weak face &happy unlimited power face) and force lightning>Commander Cody>Better properly sized Grevious>pregnant Padame, maybe throw in nurse droid and 2 babies>Senator Organa>Palpatines 2 Senate sidekicks>Anakin vs Younglings pack>501st vs generic jedi (maybe swappable heads) 2pack>Kit Fisto and youngling 2 pack
>>10977627What sequel shit was there, closest to that was the 2 henchmen and Baylan from Ashoka.This was definitely a prequel heavy release announcement but OT stuff was announced as in the works.Super battle droids, prequel Sideous, prequel Yoda are all things people have been asking for forever and the new Baylan is essentially them trying to release a fixed product when the first version was so heavily fucked
>>10977648Fuck off Disney shill
>>10977627>I'm fucking sick of Hasbro just making sequel shit,What are you even talking about? They haven't touched sequels in forever besides putting Finn in that last TVC fan channel wave
>>10977672Please if I were a disney shill I would have enjoyed the finale of the Bad Batch and Tales of the Empire.
>>10977599I'm tempted to just wait for the Figuarts. Feel like it will happy at some point and just obliterate this one. also feel like his skin looks kind of greenish? And with 20 year anniversary next year there will probably be more to come that will be surefire upgrades. But on the other hand its only $25 and is probably the best Palpatine out there currently since companies refuse to touch his Prequel . Meh.
Honestly there aren't that many major OT characters left to do for TBS. What's left is basically just tertiary characters, unless you're someone who wants 2 second background characters in 6 inch form. We're at a point where some versions of OT characters are now on their second or third version of a particular outfit.
>>10977748I want to know who was demanding General Lando. Was there someone out there throwing a fit whenever a livestream had pipeline figures going NOOOO NOT MORE PT SHIT WHERE IS EWOK VILLAGE LEIA HOW DARE YOU IGNORE THE OT
>>10977753sold more than your precious sequel shit disney shill
>>10977691Main issue with Figuarts are that while they're mostly always solid figures they always do little things to fuck it up.Prime example is the Throne Boba.Overall solid figure, easily the best post RotJ Boba out there>throne is actually slightly to large for Boba or really any six inch scale to naturally sit in>trigger guard around his rifle is so tiny and brittle that you WILL break it putting it into his hand>solid likeness of the actor but the paint apps are so light that things like the eyes are barely thereAlso figuarts barely do facial emotion on any of their non anime figures + plus japs companies really don't care to do figures of the villains, dunno why but it's a cultural thing.
>>10977753Landos a solid figure but where Hasbro ficked up was double packing him in the cases.I can't remember Everything that was in the wave he came with but I remember they would sale quickly and another case would come in and the landos would keep piling up.>local walmart has 6 Landis that have sat on the pegs for years now
So is there anything actually different about the new Baylan or is it just the same figure with a new cloak?
>>10977821Just the cloak and less chance of getting a red saber instead of the correct orange one.
>>10977599Probably the only complaint I have about the figure. If they make a Chancellor Palpatine, I hope he gets at least a swappable head with the unlimited power face
>>10977824So still a manlet then? I guess it was too soon to expect them to fix that
>>10977469There’s a third party 1/6 Queen Amidala that will look way better that actually came out.Crazy because usually third party Star Wars stuff gets shut down before it can come out.
I've been waiting for the fourth sister to hit clearance before I pick her up, do you guys think her showing up in tales of the empire will affect that?
>>10977866>wanting disney shit
>>10977874What’s wrong with Disney again?
>>10977878it shits all over star wars and consoomers like you eat it all up
>>10977366Of course not, Dark Empire basically never went out of print for 3 decades. That shit isn't rare and the old books were always printed on quality paper, if not high quality.The binding on some editions were shit, but theyre easy enough to avoid.
>>10977888Not anymore, Disney is actively trying to suppress the Expanded Universe, so the good Star Wars like Dark Empire and Heir to the Empire is now impossible to find because they want you to consoom their versions instead.
>>10977887Huh?! I don’t buy that shit either man!
Never forget what they took from you. Never forgive them.
>>10977874>not wanting to add to Bibs harem
>>10977894yeah, no.You can go to any used bookstore and constantly find the Dark Horse trades for cheap.eBay is full of them too, but seem to be going for COVER PRICE before and after shipping? Sheeeet, so expensive and rare.
>>10977912This is a fucking lie. Disney has been caught buying up vintage Star Wars novels from used bookstores so that they can destroy them. THEY WERE CAUGHT YOU FUCKING SHILL
>>10977916Proof?
>>10977485Not him, but the rumor is a bunch of highly desirable figures are getting re issued. So hold out for as long as you can Anon. I need him too in his season 1 look.
>>10977921I'm not doing your homework for you shill
"new" shf figures, not sure if they're brand new or repaints from the originals, bandai hasn't done re-paints other than with troopers
>>10977874I like collecting inquisitiors. hopefully they re-release a more accurate version of Marrok
vader is definitely new, but also very similar to the obi wan show version which makes sense given the show happens before anh, maybe it's just that one without the obi wan stuff?
>>10977935>>10977937>>10977939>>10977943Do you have any info on these? I am curious to see if they are new too.
>>10977974nothing nothing apart from those pics, i guess we should be getting more info during the week, in any case i'm getting c3po and r2
>>10977935The Stormtrooper could use a new chest/torso. It's too skinny. Really the only thing keeping it back from being great.>>10977937>Threepio with the lighter gold like the original protoson of a...I hope they release the Sandtrooper.
>>10977984Thanks Anon. I think I'll be doing the same. I wonder of the ANH Stormie is identical to the previous release. I already have him. It's a great figure with a ton of weapons.
>>10978006It has green lenses.
>>10977366DE and DEII had at least 2 reprints under Dark Horse but Empire's End was only printed once in trade to my knowledge, and was notoriously hard to find for many years until they combined it into later printings of DEII. Marvel also reprinted the whole trilogy under their "epic collection" banner but that quickly went OOP and the only way to get it now is the secondary market.>>10977452>>10977456If you manage to find the trades for a good price then yeah get them, but In my country both the DE and Thrawn comics have been OOP for ages. Furthermore, comic prices of epic collections have gone up like crazy, and it's actually cheaper for me now to buy the omnibus than try to hunt those down.
>>10977935>>10977937>>10977939>>10977943As much as I'm glad they're re-releasing these I'm not looking forward to the inflation price. Also ANH Chewie has never been reissued since his initial release.
never
>>10978035>epic collections have gone up like crazy,I was wondering if it was just shit i wanted, but i guess not.I wonder why people suddenly want them. Did some stupid fuck youtuber tell them they were rare or something?I was able to find more than a few for half off or better for years.
>>10978046>Did some stupid fuck youtuber tell them they were rare or something?Every now and then people get it into their heads that Disney banned or is going to ban all the Legends books, then when it doesn't happen everyone moves on and completely forgets about it until someone brings it up again. Sure, the last five times Disney was going to ban Legends books were all fake, but surely this time it's for real!I've also seen people discover Legends books at a Barnes and Noble and assume that Disney caved to some huge imaginary pressure to reprint the books, without realizing those books have been on the shelf for years.
>>10975632Easily the greatest Luke figure I’ve seen yet.
>>10978066DO NOT listen to this anon, he is an undercover disney shill trying to convince you to not but EU books because they'll "always be available" but they WILL NOT. Disney is systematically removing EU books and comics from shelves everyday and destroying them, they have been proven to do this, I know because I was on one of the "hit squads" as kathleen liked to call them. This is only phase 1 of there plan, soon they will start removing OT and PT content as well until the movies themselves are erased and only the ST and disney+ shows will be the only Star Wars available for future generations. All EU and legends content will be taken out of print eventually so you need to buy what you can find BUY NOW.
>>10978101We have nothing to fear, Kennedy is about to be fired any day now
>>10978101You forgot to mention the original trilogy remakes planned for 2030. I hear the sand people will be referred to as people of sand and be played by literal pakis.
>>10977629DON'T fail me again.... [spoiler]admiral[/spoiler]
Tales of the Empire sucked but I still want a TBS Barriss
>>10978066Disney's been trying to keep everyone from finding old EU stuff. That's why they keep trying to claim its their own by stealing stuff from it.
>>10978045Literally all I care about is getting this MoFo and his ship.At least make his ship as like a Hit Wheels or something
>>10974565anons what size the vintage collection figures are?(like in terms of 1/6 or 12 inch - the western sizes)I'm trying to figure out what size of vehicles will be perfect for these figures
>>10978126TVC is roughly 1/18 scale or 3.75" but figures will vary depending on actor height. Any vehicle from Hasbro's previous 3.75" lines will be compatible with TVC. However I don't think they've ever done a true to scale vehicle and they are always slightly undersized.
>>10978134>3.75"thanksI just made this character out of two TVC figures and it's so much fun to have this guy around.I'm thinking to getting him something ro ride,lol
>>10978005Why the fuck is the sandtrooper so neglected? I can't believe Hasbro hasn't put one out using the new Stormtrooper body as the base yet. I hope by the time the 50th anniversary of ANH comes by we'll get some new ones in both scales.
>>10978110It will happen after Lucas dies.
>>10978139PS: this one
>>10978142I'm guessing paint apps are too expensive so they are reluctant. I'm sure they will do it eventually
>>10978046>>10978066For rarity, there's some ups and downs to the story:Yes, there was a period when fans were panic buying the old comics because they thought Disney was banning the EU. But then the epic collections were announced and fans rejoiced although we still had to wait years for those fan-favorite comics (Dark Empire) to be reprinted. No problem right? Well...Unfortunately, then Covid hit. Supply chains got fucked up, Diamond Select raised their prices and Marvel started struggling with the load of releasing their Star Wars and Capeshit lines in a timely manner. To give some context, "half-off" was what the epic collections USED to cost before Covid.The Thrawn and Dark Empire trilogies have always been most popular even before Disney's takeover. Unsurprisingly, they were also the first epic collections to sell out due unfortunately releasing right in the height of Covid.Anyway tl:dr, The Dark Empire comics are not "rare" but good luck finding the complete collections for a good price or waiting for what could be years before Marvel decides to reprint them again.
>>10977640>pregnant PadamePregnant Padme is my #1 most desired TBS figure, everything else you mentioned is great but I want that one the most. Pretty sure it's a 50/50 at best tho
>>10978152I'd honestly rather they release it clean so I can do my own weathering anyway. Otherwise we'll have the same problem as the Remnant Stormtroopers
>>10978123I still have this from a birthday present as a kid. Feels good.
>>10977849I love you Anon thank you
>>10978157I picked up Dark Empire I and II a few years ago for only a few bucks used. They aren't hard to find unless something crazy has changed. Now, the Thrawn (2017?) Marvel comic was out of print and skyrocketed in value when that went out of print. I was seeing used TPB copies sell for 50 bucks on ebay along with the single issues.
>>10977519>>10977551>unironic shill posting
just got back from phantom menace, it was really nice seeing it on the big screen and honestly made me rethink my thoughts on it. although around the time that Qui Gon and Obi-Wan meet with the council, some guy yelled “SILENCE” at the top of his lungs out of nowhere. Not sure what that was about. And then 10 minutes later I think the same guy yelled “SHUT YO BITCH ASS UP”. Honestly was kinda scary and took me out of the movie for a while, but I guess I eventually got over it.
>>10978199Oh that wasn't someone in the theater, that was one of the new additions Disney added
>>10978199I just got back too and my showing was pretty chill, just a couple of old lesbians in the theater with my friend and I. The movie was better than I remember, not amazing, but better than I remember. Or maybe it's the fact that new star wars sucks so bad that even Ep1 is great by comparison. Either way, the duel with Maul at the end was always awesome to see. I try to avoid those type of ghetto theaters personally.
I don't really go to the theaters but feel like I have to see TPM. Will it be in theaters for a while or does it have a limited window? I'm traveling next week but I hope I can still catch it when I come back
>>10978204It's in theaters until May 9th, at least where I live.
>>10978204Looks like a limited release, most of my local theaters don't have showtimes beyond this week, only 2 of them are still playing it next weekend
>>10978006>>10978011It also looks to have much less gapyness around the top of the leg (maybe around the elbows too?).
>>10977469I want a Black Series version of this so bad
>>10978199I'm really glad I went to see it. I saw it 11 times originally, and obviously I have the blu-rays, vhs, dvd, etc. But seeing it in a theater again just felt nice. I found myself quoting it as it was going on, and that added a charm to it for some reason. I miss the Midnight Madness events. I miss the excitement of it all.
>>10978202>hurrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!>I'm sooo funneeeeeee!!!!Go. Back.
>>10978199I went yesterday at 10:15 am and there were only a few people in the theater. It was a nice experience.
TPM is still a shit film. Nothing will ever change that. I watched it at home recently for the first time in years, and it's a great children's film, but horrible as a SW film with so many plot holes and plain terrible writing. It's candy-coated trash for kiddies
>>10978252You're wrong.
>>10978252What a refreshing and novel opinion that we haven't heard a million times over the last quarter century
>>10978253Fine, it's a terrible children's film. >>10978259>shit film is still shit film after 25 years and Imma cry about it because you reminded me you still can't polish a turd!Imagine being unable to handle discussion on a discussion board. No wonder your generation were simply given Participation Awards.
>>10978253Explain the plot holes then (without referring to bullshit novels and garbage NOT in the film)
>>10978260Nah, you're wrong about every single thing you said. It's a good film, a good Star Wars movie, and you're just a bitch.
>>10978144From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine.
>>10978269Nah, you're wrong about every single thing you said. It's a bad film, a bad Star Wars movie, and you're just a bitch.
>>10978261explain what the plot holes are, please
>>10978278Why can the Jedi run fast away from the gas on the ship in the beginning of the film, but suddenly they can't when Obi Wan needs to be separated from Qui Gon for plot reasons during the Maul fight?
>>10978282Lightsabers are heavy and Obi-Wan was getting tuckered out
>>10978285Bullshit and they had their lightsabers both times.
>>10978278Another one: Midichlorian count now suddenly tells how strong you are in the Force, but the Jedi Council are suddenly losing touch with the Force, with no mention if their counts have changed, while they are both mystified about what's happening and they have the means to measure themselvesThere's more but typing this shit out gets tiresome.
>>10978285>Obi-Wan was getting tuckered out>He just WAS, okay!? Nevermind nothing showed that whatsoever
>>10978269I agree.Phantom Menace is great. Pretty much on-par with the original from 1977
>>10977866With how lame Tales of the Empire turned out to be, I highly doubt it.
>>10977452>>10977456Sites like IST'll have it for cheaper on release. Nobody buys omnis at full price except idiots.
>>10978298Like your dumpy autistic ass could last more than thirty seconds against Darth Maul without getting winded
>>10977640That's actually a great list. And a new Rebuild Darth Vader figure would be the GOAT.
>>10978045No Dash, no Kyle. NuWars can't deal with STRONG men with SHOULDER PADSpussies
>>10978282>running away from danger down a long hallway>running past laser walls, a force user with a lightsaber and a deep pit at the end

I got my Sheev and Yoda, not an amazing May the Fourth but the fact that there was anything at all for me to get excited about is a small victory
WHERE IS MY BLACK SERIES AUNT BERUWHY IS HASBRO IGNORING THE OT
>>10978368Soon
>>10978282Because you don't want to run into energy shields dumbass
>>10978293>the dark side clouds everythingImagine being too stupid to understand a children's movie.
>>10978549Was it the old EU or the new Disney canon where one of Ole Palpatines hobby was going deep under the jedi temple and doing sith rituals for that very reason, to muck everything up and make it where they can't see the shitstorm coming at them.
>>10978293That's not a plot hole, that's you being a retard.
Where there any reveals for Micro Galaxy?
>>10976847Filoni.
>>10978621first result on google
>>10978308Well THAT solves the fucking massive plot hole in your children's film, doesn't it? Such an angry little child, how long has that Jar Jar toy been stuck in your anus? 25 years?
>>10978308I don’t think I’d need to last more than thirty seconds against Maul since he just stands there and let’s Obi Wan bisect him. Dude has the reflexes of a senior citizen.
>>10978330>HUURRRRRRR>I CAN RUNS FAST BUT I CANTS STAAHHPPPP!!!>I JUST NEED TO CATCH UP WITH QUI GON, I DON'T NEED TO RUN PAST MAUL, AND I SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE THE PIT BEHIND HIM, NOR SHOULD I BE WORRIED SINCE I'M NOT GOING THAT FAR!Wow. You LITERALLY think like a child and think Obi Wan is part of the audience and sees what you see.
>>10978340>ONLY OPINIONS I DON'T LIKE NEED TO GO TO /TV!Never mind that these toys are directly based on a movie and others were already discussing said film, you stupid faggot.
>>10978537>OH LORDY HOW DO I STAAAAHHHPPPPPPPOh my God you're all literally retarded children. Yes, they have a Force power, we see them use it without any problem, suddenly you gays defending your poorly written film see problems that weren't problems to solve the shitty writing.

I saw a poll on Instagram from a Hasbro community manager asking collectors to rank the following qualities from most to least important. This was the final order:>Quality>World building>Accuracy>Character depth>NostalgiaI'm a bit disappointed no one cared about nostalgia. For me nostalgia is the reason I collect, to reminisce about better times for Star Wars since I don't like the new stuff. I want to see characters from EU or old LucasArts games and other such deep cuts. But I guess most of the fanbase now is zoomers that want Bad Batch and whatever else is current on Disney+. I see people wanting more figures from Acolyte even though they don't have any attachment to those characters and don't even know if they like the show yet. I can't relate.
>>10978520FUCK!
>>10978520>>10978520better to have them as a two pack
Time 4 me to collect some Star Wars toys.
>>10978520>>10978755I don't see any reason why they couldn't sell them as skeletons, it's more interesting than some of the obscure characters they've done.
>>10978736>I'm a bit disappointed no one cared about nostalgia.Just because it ranked last doesn't mean nobody cared you dimwitted child. If nostalgia is so important to you you can go buy the old Bend-Ems figures.
>>10978736>fucking zoomers how dare you not want the same thing I want
>>10978736Honestly I think for most people nostalgia probably doesn't pertain to character selection, when I hear about nostalgia I pictured shit like retro packaging that only cardfags care about. I remember the JTA dude getting furious that they were doing POTF2 retro cards because he personally didn't feel an attachment to them and felt only his vintage card nostalgia should be catered to.
>>10978736Why is world building higher than accuracy?
>>10979078Exactly this.
>>10976270No good opinion has ever begun with "eh".
>>10979287What OT figures are you waiting on?
>>109790973.75 has always had some inaccuracy here and there, i think most people are willing to overlook it to a point if it means getting a never ever

There's also the preorder up on Amazon for the Jedi Survivor droid 3pk.
Micro Galaxy Squadron AT-TE is up on Amazon as well
>>10979843I'm kind of amazed that it's only $5 more than the first release, I thought if Hasbro ever reissued it they would jack up the price to like $55 or something
