Pros and cons of the black series.
Which figure is best?
Pic related.
Pros: It's Star Wars
Cons: It's Hasbro
The droids and troopers look ok, but avoid humans. That's a pretty good rule of thumb for life too anon.
>>5578435
I reckon some aliens like greedo are OK, but face painting is terrible on humans. See Poe Dameron
>>5578444
The other Poe Dameron looked really good when I saw it in the store the other day. The one with the jacket.
>>5578453
I saw that one as well, not as atrocious as the pilot variant.
>>5578444
I didn't know Steve Buscemi had a figure.
I really like how many different characters they already have despite only being a couple years old. The Japanese companies are understandably only doing the big characters so far, but a line up of all the Hasbro characters made to date is pretty extensive.
The paint work doesn't really bother me, but yeah, unmasked humans look awful. Luckily they only comprise maybe a third of the figures made so far.
>>5578433
Pros: The highs of the line have been pretty high
Cons: The lows of the line have been pretty low.
Black Series is so inconsistent I can't really say it has any pros or cons. Even the line wide stuff, I can't really draw conclusions about or it's so relative as to be meaningless. Like, 20 bucks is a nice price point, but the good figures vanish from shelves and go for $5-20 more online, and the bad figures really feel like they should cost 15 or less. And that's before you get into the question of whether it's worth it to spend more on a better Japanese figure.
Some broad, sweeping generalizations I can make: Armored figures, like the OT Troopers and I thiiiink the clone troopers, they have all double jointed limbs. Most unarmored figures (and the FO Troopers) have double knees and single elbows, and Hasbro doesn't cut those single elbows to have more than 90 degrees of motion.
Likeness can be hit or miss, but the paint work and likenesses on the first few waves were fantastic, barring Obi Wan and Bespin Luke. There was some shift in how the line was manufactured around that time that Hasbro's still dealing with. See >>5578444 for details.
Best figure: Maul is damn good, so good I don't feel the urge to get the Figuarts (though that's largely because I got him a long time ago, had they come out at the same time, I'd definitely get the SHF). R2D2 is underrated, due to his size. Scout trooper is fantastic, as is any variation on the OT Stormtrooper. Boba Fett is hugely underrated, though at this point you should just get the MAFEX or the SHF. I hear good things about Jango Fett, and with a bit of paint I've seen Rey turn out fantastic.
I'd also say that Greedo and Han Solo are both quite underrated, though in Han's case, the SHF looks like it might be better.
Collection: I have Black Series Boba Fett, Sandtrooper, Stormtrooper, Shocktrooper, Scouttrooper, Bossk, Bespin Luke, Guava Enforcer, Chewie, Han, Greedo.
>>5578586
I also have Bandai Kit Stormtrooper and Scouttrooper, as well as SHF Luke and MAFEX Vader, to give a sense of my perspective.
>>5578586
>Han Solo is underrated
Agreed, I have the Wave 2 Han and he's really great. Good likeness and paint, and he's poseable as hell, not like Pilot LUKE.
>>5578433
the 3.75 are usually solid because a lot of them are repacks from previous lines
the 6 inch feel useless because they have paint jobs that look like they're meant for a much smaller scale
check websites like jeditemplearchives.com and rebelscum to get a general idea of what paint jobs look good enough for you. They also write reviews that usually point out any movie-related inaccuracies if you're autistic about detail.
>>5578586
Another thing I forgot is that the sculpting is generally really good, even if the paint isn't, so if you're gifted with a paint brush, you could get a lot more out of your investment than it first appears.
I think 20 for one figure is too much it depends on the character honestly, I'd go 20 for boba but not generic guys.
18 bucks for these 2 is that a good deal? Wish the pilot wasn't loose.
>>5580902
yeah
>cons
Scalped to SHIT. My local stores are nothing but Findus and literally who characters like that ginger
>>5580995
I hate finn without stormtrooper armor atleast you can get the badass bloodstain on helmet.
I hate that traitor period...
I'd kill for a Dark Trooper of Imperial Gunner figure.
>>5578433
finally found where wal-mart stocks their black series, in a stand beside the cash... been going to the walmart like a retard checking the toy section every time for like 3 months.
>>5578433
Pro: cheap
Con: bad
>>5578444
Old Han is an exception. His likeness is spot on in my opinion.
I really enjoy the Black Series line, owning 12 six inch figures myself, the only one I dislike is slave Leia. The one really bad thing about it IMO is the inconsistent stock. I had to buy a Boba from a scalper sadly. Pic related is my Darth Vader, really awesome figure.
Just got these two for 18$ bundled together. Did I do good?
>>5585922
4got pic
>>5580902
Yeah. Those retail for 19.99 ea
>>5585743
agreed. Black series Vader is one of my favorite figures. love the removable helmet and cloth cape.
>>5587634
His helmet is removable? He's one of the on bs I never found so I genuinely don't know.
I thought Maul was surprisingly good
Other than him, I've only picked up the various Empire soldiers, like Flametrooper, TIE Pilot (OG and FO), Stormtrooper, Snowtrooper, etc. Oh and Proto Fett
>>5578444
Rey, Finn, and Krylon Ben got improved re-releases, why not pilot Poe?
TFA Chewie also needs to be repacked, what the fuck
Just picked this up at Kmart today
GET THE FUCK IN HERE RIGHT NOW GRIEVOUS AND BOBA ELITE SERIES

>>5590132
>Elite series
Why would you want such shit?
>>5590158
Grievous doesn't have BS and Boba got a cape in this release.
They're worth alot more than BS it seems but it may change given this wave but then again it's for the bluray event so it'll probably be limited.
>>5590166
The Grievous figure is terrible and tends to fall off its own weight.
the Boba elite looks terrible.
Unless you're some misb collecting faggot or scalper then its completely irrelevant.
>>5589800
pls die
>>5590158
elite series shits on black series
i own both so I know
>>5590267
Why is this exactly? I've never gotten Elite before but I had to jump on a $25 Grievous and Boba in that scale.
>>5590166
Grievous is getting an SHF, you would have to be a fool to purchase the Elite.
I like Elite series visually (from the front anyway) - I just wish they scaled okay with Black Series.
If all of this stuff came in at 6 inches you could just pick and choose which version you get and have your own ideal collection. It'd be beautiful. That's one of my favorite things about the Bandai kits, they work with Black Series pretty well.
>>5590267
Elite Series is shit, but it's currently the only option for a 6-7 inch scale Grievous
>soft sculpts
>paint chipping
>shit articulation
>joints can't hold the weight of the metal so arms flop around
>can barely hold lightsabers
>no ankle articulation means he's constantly in a stepping forward pose
The only thing I like about him is the quilted texture on the cape.
>>5580902
I remember this in bst, didn't the guy say he stole the pilot out of a tie fighter box?
>>5582595
That's a Shadow trooper is it not?
Thought Darks were like cyborgs. the game just had them mislabeled?
>>5590518
Nah, that's a Dark Trooper. Shadow Troopers just wear jet black Trooper armor.
>>5580995
My local stores stopped carrying them between wave 3 and wave, what, 13, which was solid cases of Finn. I would even buy Finn but not by himself. I see the high prices at shows but I won't order cases for resale. They're either listed early and delayed for months or they skip preorders and just appear in stock one day. In either case, the assortments are always half stinkers that can't even be given away. That's what happens when your fucking cases are a whopping 4-6 figures. By being unable to short pack shitty figures you end up short packing hot ones.
>>5578433
is he still hard to find at walgreens? canadian here.
>>5591200
I've only found first order troopers at my Walgreens, it's really weird.
>>5589800
I have this one too it looks great, only thing i'm not a fan of is the lightsaber blades
>>5591270
What's wrong with the blades? It looks better than the regular version that's connected.
>>5585743
Is there any way to get Black Series Vader anymore? I was never collecting them until last fall when the TFA stuff started coming out, but I want one badly because Vader is my favorite Star Wars character.
>>5591204
I've only seen Emperors Wrath Vader at Walgreens. Do you think specific stores just buy a shitload of one figure? They had a whole display of Vaders
This thread survived longer than I expected.
Its over fot these
>>5591656
They release solid cases of him every couple of months. Another is supposed to hit by his month. There should be a steady supply but you probably have to go through a specialty shop to get it.
>>5591941
If you want a black series Kylo then get the Kmart version. Its only 5 more than the regular one and you get the snow stand/deco, the better lightsaber blades, an open hand for force poses, and a lightsaber hilt. Plus Starkiller base Rey is coming soon.
Got an elite series Bobas and Grievous a couple days ago, the worth for them dropped drastically. Like by half. Wasn't planning on getting rid of them but i'm pretty surprised given the fact that the market hasn't even been close to flooded.
Grievous is still around $120 but I'm not sure if it's selling.
>>5593586
Boba and Grievous recently popped up on disney's store just recently. I got boba.
>>5593592
The bluray and DVD release had the online store and Disney stores restocked.
It was amazing that I was able to track an old URL from the initial release because neither Grievous or Boba were fucking listed on the webstore. For $25 I could NOT pass up on a Boba or Grievous.
Boba ran on the site for 8 hours, from 4 AM EST. Grievous was a bit more available on the webstore but from what I've seen it was very limited in actual Disney stores
>>5593592
was there a line at your store or are you talking about the web store
>>5593610
Online
>>5591657
Well in your case Emperors Wrath is a Walgreens exclusive.
A local Walgreens near me has like 16 Codys.
I picked up the Poe + TR8R twin pack.
For the price (Australian) I'm fucking disgusted.
Poe looks like shit, any pose he's not just standing in is horrible, There is barely any articulation in his arms, his face is dead.
From what i've seen, better than the other sculpt but still shocking.
The Trooper, I can barely move his arms,
Managed to Pry the shield off
Cant hold the Riotstick
Fucking hate the knees.
>>5593661
OP here.
I'm also oz. PRICES.
I had to get Maul online.
Postage is barely legal.
>>5593661
You should have examined the package more carefully (or read a review). I saw one at Target just last week during their half-price toy sale. One look and I knew better than to drop my cash on that pos, even with a discount.
>>5593977
How much did you pay for Maul? I remember seeing the absurd prices he was going for online so I got the Figuarts instead. Fucking scalpers, I tell ya.
>>5593650
Damn all I have around me are emporers wrath and there was one obi wan but I bought that.
>>5591816
Awww yeahhh... Get Down and Boogie Leia.
>>5594736
When i first got tr8r I though he was a knockoff with how shitty the riot stick looks
I'm drowning in a a sea of Zuvios at my stores. Where the fuck is Ahsoka?
>>5591200
He came out almost 2 years ago. Good luck finding one in stores.
>>5578433
Live in the US and I can't find 6 inch General hux and x wing pilot Asty
Any word?
Some face sculpts good
Elbow joints bad
>>5596940
Surprisingly enough, I found Hux and Asty at a Kmart a week ago. They also had about ten of the Starkiller Kylo Ren figures.
I was at a walmart earlier and they only had 4 figures. Finn jacket and zuvio. Wtf man can't find shit anywhere.
>>5597217
Even 3.75 inch were sold out too.
>>5596834
Literally just found one at Walgreens 2 months ago
>>5597200
Lucky bastard
Where I live k mart has 4 isles of girl toys and 1 for boys
It usually doesn't have much
>>5578433
Best figure incoming hands down
Post Kanans
Why the fuck are people trading Boba/Yoda for Kanan?
>>5591200
I bought five of them. Let me know if you need one
I feel like the best figure is the Sandtrooper. I like taking pictures of them.. just took this last week down by lake Erie. Second would be the Scout trooper. All the new figures have been dumbed down it seems.. they don't even have double jointed elbows :/
>>5598576
My favorite is the shadow. Never been a fan of the weathering on these lines.
>>5598589
Agreed, the sandtrooper looks like he fell into a pool of horse shit.
Sand does not stick to things like that, if the dirt/sand was to discolor any part of his armor, it'd be the boots and shin guards, depending on how deep it was. I find it hard to believe that the empire would allow Stormtroopers to walk around looking like that.
>>5585648
I read that as
>Old Han is an exception. His lifelesness is spot on in my opinion.
which would still be correct
>>5598617
lookit this nigga who ain't ever been in a desert or a sandstorm.
>>5598570
Yeah give email
Got Ahsoka today but the knee joints and lightsaber hilts are really gummy. Is this normal? It can hardly stand.
This many posts and none of you faggots have mentioned ig88.
He's boatloads of fun and comes with a meat cleaver
Walgreen's, toys r us, Walmart, targets in Tampa bay are fished by scalpers nonstop. The four Walmarts near me are full of the constable, finn and rebel troopers. Literally full on the pegs. What are my options besides eBay and ridiculous prices
>>5599502
Why don't you post him show us faggots
what's what.
>>5599502
*vibroblade*
What kind of bounty hunter would walk around using a meat cleaver for self defense?
>>5599594
Watch The Raid 2. Not bounty hunter but badass with meat cleaver.
>>5599470
>rubber knees
That's par for the course with Hasbro.
>>5598617
>city faggot who's never played in the dirt
Aren't you a little too asthmatic and allergic to everything to be able to post online?
>>5599502
Ig88 is horrible lol.. flimsy ass piece of shit figure. You're an idiot.
>>5597217
I visited a Walmart in Eldersburg, MD a couple nights ago and they had a bunch of 3.75s and 6 inches restocked. 3.75s were Jakku Rey and Finn, young Han, Kylo, and First Order Trooper and 6 inch was Enforcers, Finn, Kylo, and Phasma.
Found her.
Can't move her head around though. Isn't her neck supposed to be ball-jointed?
>>5598576
Nice shot, do you live in Canada? Just wondered because I've grown up visiting Lake Erie.
>>5600282
Aren't her sabers supposed to be white?
>>5600389
Well, hasbro doesn't give a shit about screen accuracy.
>>5600393
She's not suppose to be screen accurate, pleb.
In case you guys are still looking for jango in the us
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/cart/add.html?ASIN.1=B015RTJJKU&tag=nisa-20&AssociateTag=nisa-20&Quantity.1=1
>>5601039
Do you get free shipping if you sign up for prime? I want to just buy him but could go with some troops too i guess.
>>5599803
suck my robot wang. he's a great figure if you're not a retard
>>5601359
Yes
You can actually not pay for prime if you just cancel it before a month is up. It came up as 23$ for me shipped with prime.
>>5601374
Thank you alot definitely buying him now and get free shows for a month too.
>>5601365
One thing I find really dumb about this figure is that they designed the arms in a smart way, but didn't just do what they did for the arms for the legs. There's no reason why his thighs are strictly T-jointed.
>>5601388
He's a robot and doesn't bend in the same places and ways that humans do. His "knees" make up for it.
>>5601469
So Phasma went all the way down to $15 last week on Amazon.
How fucking long must I wait for Ahsoka?
>>5601487
Still think they should have given him the lateral movement. Sometimes figures should be able to do more for the sake of playability. And no one said IG couldn't move his legs that way.
Ugh... why wasn't Bossk anywhere available here...
>>5578433
Why are the black series Kanan and Ahsoka so expensive? Are the ones out now just early releases before the main release or is this how much they'll actually cost?
>>5601502
It's 20 now.
FUCK. I missed out.
>>5601520
Scalpers
>>5601520
Oh you didn't know? The standard $21.99 MSRP is gone, the waves are now split between "premium" figures that are $35 and there are "ultra premiums" like Ahoska are now $60 so she's actually under retail.
>>5601628
Also regular figures likes Stormtroopers and Droids are now $25/each but you have to buy them in pairs of 2.
>>5601520
Scalpers, I managed to get my Kanan for the standard retail price
Where the fuck should I be looking to even find a Kanan or Ahsoka? My local target just not got the FN wave
>>5601866
He's fucking with you
They retail for about 21.99 but due to demand and bad distribution, ahsoka and kanan are hard to find. I've bought two kanans through amazon so far at retail price. Haven't seen ahsoka once.
>>5601877
I've seen Ahsoka twice but both times she was gone the next moment
I'm really glad I got in on a Kanan, he's quickly become one of my favorite Star Wars characters
So is it even possible to find a Black Series Phasma in the wild anymore?
Because I honestly have never seen one in real life and it's arguably the only Black Series figure I really want.
>>5601939
I found three in multiple locations. You can order her off amazon easily, too.
It's an alright figure, just like the trooper.
>>5601944
Huh, guess I need to do some more digging.
Amazon is a bit of a last resort for me, since it's a few bucks extra and I'd of course like to see the paint in person before buying, but I've heard good things about a Disney Store kinda near me.
>>5601469
His knees are double jointed fyi.
>>5600416
Why the fuck not? Just make an ahsoka that looks like rebels ahsoka, wears the same clothes as rebels ahsoka, even has the same hilts!
Just different lightsaber colours.
>>5602285
They're plain clear with a drop of blue so they're at all visible, but they're still meant to be white, not blue
It's not like they're like a straight blue blue they're super light
>>5602325
Okay
>>5601939
I found one at Target a few weeks ago and bought her. The only one I've ever seen and I had been looking since last October. Haven't seen one since in my search for Jango, Kanan, and Ahsoka (nor I have I found any of them yet)
>>5600346
you're an idiot
>>5602281
Link because I'm looking for bit of everything black series and want to see what they have
Just got this guy at Walmart. He's great.
>>5603028
He looks like a high quality figure.
>>5601039
thank you! just ordered him!
>>5600282
i really wish there was a good clone wars ahsoka figure. Like a figuarts or something
My Kanan shipped and will be here Thursday
I don't think I've ever been so excited for a Hasbro product
>>5603066
His actual face isn't great, but why would I ever take the helmet off?
>>5603295
iirc the scult itself is pretty good
if you're good with a paint brush just add whatever crucial details you need. Sometimes some shadows under the eyes and stuff is all it takes
>>5603295
>>5603312
>tfw you don't have the skills to make Black Series figures look this good
Is the han greedo double pack worth it? I can get it but kinda want to wait on this chick selling RE2 or buy jango off amazon.
>>5603321
Damn that is spot on right there.
>>5603327
Yup, proof that the sculpts are good but the paint is shit. I feel bad for the sculptors to be honest.
>>5603331
I just started collecting figures and kind of want to try customizing and that is an inspiration right there for sure.
>>5603321
maybe carve a few wrinkles in his forehead etc
>>5603004
you are really this lazy?
>>5603783
Apparently so, I do all my web browsing on 4chan too.
Lmao
I miss the vintage collection (and 3.75 figs in general)
>>5603868
Nice posing and I agree 3.75 just have a comfy feel to me.
>>5603868
>>5603877
I know that feel
When's 6 inch ESB Leia?
>>5603898
DROIDEKA TAKE EM DOWN
I'm a clone/stormtrooper guy myself.
>>5603939
Damn leia is sexy
>>5603952
I never noticed how high heels were worked into the boots until this picture, pretty funny.
Still, need a figure of that with the respirator and a blaster. I hope the Slave Leia shelf-warming debacle doesn't shy them away from releasing more of her.
>>5603969
Sjws find little shit and focus on it for no reason at all. Maybe if they used that energy to do something people wouldn't hate them so much.
>>5603969
>I hope the Slave Leia shelf-warming debacle doesn't shy them away from releasing more of her.
That really bugs me, because she's had some really good looks over the years. Her hoth and endor getups were great, and even her bespin appearance was pretty alright. It's cool that we got boushh, but I never really liked that design anyway. Have the ever commented on why they made such a retarded choice of costumes for her first toy?
>>5603982
Ikr man almost all characters have cool variant costumes but they only make specific figures.
I want dagobah training luke 6in that comes with a yoda myself.
>>5590504
My fiancé actually picked me up General Grievous and Maul from the Elite series. I wish Hasbor would keep making 3.75 inch figures but they hate my money and me apparently. I don't wanna collect the 6 inch figures. Tho if I somehow find Ahsoka, it won't even be a second guess.
>>5591816
I know but fortunately I have picked up a ST and Kylo. I hope that I find me a Phasma when she's released but fuck if my local Wally World will ever order a new wave.
>>5604028
Yeah I collect 3.75 myself and starting to buy 6in is kinda hard to find my characters in the wild. I bought flametrooper and tie pilot awhile back and really want more but damn scalping and them not having a steady output of popular figures has ruined every opportunity for ms to find some.
>>5603982
All I know is it was a big deal when Slave Leia got a figure in POTF2. Everyone wanted that shit. They probably thought they could re-create that with Black Series, but alas.
>>5603868
Believe me when I tell you that I miss em too brother.
>>5604043
Oops forgot pic
>>5604045
Those yours? Idk why people bitch about being in boxes and all I don't play with the figures but really just like the looks of them in boxes myself.
>>5604059
Yeah one of my totes. I love that most of the people on this board open there's and pose them and stuff. But me personally I'm a box collector. Been that way since high school.
>>5604072
Same way man I do like the poses and all but I lose shit easily and just having them in box just makes sure I don't lose them.
Try the new force awakens 3.75 in only thing I don't like about them is the tacky ad that says build weapon thingy that just ruins the aesthetic of the figure because it looks garrish.
>>5603868
>>5603877
>>5603898
>>5604043
>>5604045
I recently got back into collecting and it's a pain trying to catch up with the TVC/Legacy/30ac and even 3.75 black stuff that Im looking for
I probably won't move to 6inch at all. All the vehicles I want are for 3.75 inch
but damn it's such a great feeling to find what you need online from random websites or even sometimes amazon.
>>5601516
Ha. I found my Bossk at a Wegman's grocery store
>>5604364
The only reason I haven't moved to black series is the price. They have quality figures but the overabundance of some characters and stores not ordering more pisses me off. 20 $ for for zuvio a peg warmer figure nah not for me.
>>5604395
>Wegman's
Upstate New York represent. Even though I've moved away from that overtaxed, underemployed state, I still miss Wegman's.
>>5603028
those boots are fucking horrendous.
>>5603877
I think their small sizes and the fact that it still feels as if Hasbro put some love into them sums up the comfy feeling for me. Sometimes it's just fun for me to mess around with a tiny figure. Especially if it has the same amount of detail, articulation and care put into them as the later TLC and VC Star Wars figures.
What I hate the most about it is Hasbro's blatant attempts to kill the articulated 3.75 line of figures. A new movie came out and we only got a handfull of them which, put insult to injury, were incredibly hard to find exclusives. Even before TFA came out the line's been at a decline. they released these three new fan favorite clone troopers with a new mold. Sounds pretty good right? Not really. The new body was actually inferior to their old clone trooper molds. They had less articulation, less individual parts and less detail. They're obviously taking the cheap route but what frustrates me is how easy it would've been for them to be WAY better. Take Commander Doom for example. They could've just took Cody's helmet, stuck it onto a generic clone commander body and repainted it into Doom's colors. Same goes for Rex, just make a new helmet and stick it onto a 501st Blue clone commander body.
tl;dr: post 3.75" figs that blew your mind.
>>5605471
latecomer's fees everywhere
Just searched that figure
>>5605471
>tfw lost or chucked figures out over the years
>tfw haven't seen an Episode III Commander Gree since
Recently started picking up Clone Figures if they're at a decent enough price
>>5605650
Actually have a commander gree from the Rots line but lost his hands somehow and replaced them with another troops hands.
>>5605700
>Those DC-15s that had wooden stocks
I wonder if they'll ever crop up again
But that Gree though, his special little snowflake armour blew me away as a kid. Him and Bacara were my favourites
>>5605708
I have no idea what a dc15 is but yeah I've had him since the movie came out almost and love all my star wars stuff.
>>5605708
Oh the weapon, sorry thought that was like production number or something.
Yeah I love the clones wish we had more unique stormtroops
Anybody know a good site to buy black series from? Preferably free shipping and all figures 20 bucks each.
>>5606587
Any lower than 20 would be better.
>>5606587
Good luck. Likely have to hunt on ebay and prolly be able to get certain ones for under 20 on Amazon.
>>5603982
Might have had something to do with Disney announcing that they are retiring the slave outfit from all merchandising for good.
>>5603868
Same here, Vintage Collection line was great, so many different characters. Loved that line, shame it got trashed
I love the updated Kashyyyk trooper, we'll never get a figure like this in the 6 inch line
>>5606653
True, but Biker Scouts are pretty cheap. Time to buy a couple shades of paint and a brush!
>>5606642
It was supposed to be replaced by the return of Droid Factory (which had a lot of TVC repacks and just as great new molds). It got canned and instead we got the black series because BAF parts are too expensive or something I dont know.
>>5606653
The wide release Kashyyyk trooper is a little bit shorter than the regular clone trooper which bugs my autism greatly. I personally prefer pic related. Even though he's packaged as Commander Faie, he's basically a Kashyyyk trooper.

PABLO-JILL
Lmao
>>5606637
Every character I'm looking for is going for scalpers prices 70 bucks for a fucking phasma no thanks...
>>5606653
>>5606683
I got that guy. Kinda wish he had his face armor and a real hand.
And better hips. Fucking swivel shit.
>>5606765
That lego hand strangely fits.
>>5606638
There must be something off about that because I recently saw a slave leia potato head with the Kylo banner on the product.
I'm annoyed that ONLY Wal-Mart picked up the 1/18 line and still fucked up the distribution. I'm lucky I got the ones I did on clearance, I'm doubtful I'll ever see a Phasma. They probably just dumped her wave in the trash.
>>5606749
if you want a BS Phasma I will sell you mine at non-scalper prices, you will have to cover shipping costs, FYI.
Are you in the US?
>>5607041
Yeah how much?
>>5607041
In box too? Love the feeling of opening up box myself.
I could order a TR8R figure ,but it comes with Poe anybody know if I could just buy TR8R anywhere by himself?
>>5607183
There're usually two or three sellers on ebay who have loose factory reject / fell off the truck copies of him. I got a handful of regular first order troopers like that and they turned out about the same as my retail one.
>>5607193
Tried looking for riot trooper and all results were 20$ more than what I can buy it for.
>>5607206
Really? Searching for "Star Wars Black Series Riot Control Stormtrooper" brings back a ton for 15 shipped. Are you not in the US?
>>5607213
I found it but for some reason can't order him.
Think I'm just gonna breakdown and order him get bluray too from target.
>>5606874
Yeah, off in that it never happened and it's just a rumor that dumbasses like the anon above keep perpetuating.
>>5607050
$22 + Shipping costs.
>>5607054
I took the figure out but I have the box in good condition, so I can put it back in and seal it for you.
FYI: I did a slight mod to the figure---I made a small cut (using a hobby knife) in between the trigger and middle finger on the right hand. Why? for the figure to better grip the blaster. Other than that the figure is intact. I just figured I let you know before moving forward.
>>5605471
I hate my life because I never got Republic Trooper.
I want a Daniel Craig Stormtrooper Black series!!
>>5607383
Me too anon, me too...
>>5603028
Just found one at target today, unfortunately his left eyebrow is significantly raised. He would give the rock a run for his money. The helmet will stay on forever
My Target has a butt load of Jango and Phasma BS, still no Kanan or Ahsoka.
Is it worth it to pick up Jango and Phasma to resell?
Anyone have access to Kanan and Ahsoka want to trade?
>>5607469
Don't fucking resell at scalpers prices but yeah it'd be pretty decent I suppose.
Irrelevant to black series, but Figuarts Jango Fett has a release date. August.

>>5578433
expensive and plenty of black guy/female peg warmers.
>>5603028
I found mine a couple weeks ago in my local Toys R Us along with Phasma (never thought I'd find either in the wild) and the tubes across the backs of his elbows stretch to the point where one of them is cracked halfway through (came like that I think) and on the other arm they popped out. Hate that about it, other wise I love him.
>>5607508
Looks pretty bad for $60.
>>5606745
Actually a pretty good figure with above average articulation
Desired Black Series:
Padme

>>5607819
Lando stuff never ever sells
>>5607930
I'd dig a Qui Gon Jinn to go with my Darth MAul.

Is there an old man kenobi figure out there?
>>5608184
I had a holographic 'ghost' 3.75 inch one at one point, it was basically just a solid block of plastic though.
Beware the might of the First Order Snow Trooper.
But seriously, when's the original Snow Trooper coming out? I can't wait to replace this jabroni with the real badasses. Please have double jointed elbows!
>>5608184
>>5608188
I think he means a 1:12 - there are several 1:18. There's no 1:12 yet but there are custom heads floating around.
>>5607958
>Lando stuff never ever sells
>They make a Constable Zuvio figure
Where's the logic?
>>5608581
So you're surprised that they'd stock shelves with a cool alien character from the new movie instead of a human from the old ones?
I mean of course I'd rather have Lando too but the logical thing to do is go with Zuvio.
>>5608588
Zuvio wasn't even important enough to be in the theatrical cut. I love aliens but zuvio isn't that cool.
>>5608593
Neither Hasbro nor SW toy marketing has final cut of the film. The figure was in the works long before Zuvio was cut out of the movie.
>>5608595
hence why he's a peg warmer.
>>5608595
Everybody gets a copy of the script and if not there should be safeguards in place to stop mass production of what amounts to a prop.
Nobody on Jakku was important to the story except Unkar Plutt.
Only some of the Cantina/Jabba Palace/Senator actionfigures ever sell and it´s always the ones that stand out more dsign-wise or story-wise, the majority are shelfwarmers or collector fodder. It´s always a better idea to just make the important characters and wait for reactions to choose which ones of the mass-alien scenes are popular and which ones should be used to fill out blank spaces in 30 years.
Hasbro does random figures in this line, the goal is obviously to make every character once like the old 3 inch line. I am ok with this but that doesn´t really work when they release so much fewer figures with so many choices that can justifyably be called main characters.

>Everybody gets a copy of the script
Of course they don't. Nobody at Hasbro sees a script. Nobody in marketing gets a script. They get a name, reference photos and MAYBE a basic character description.
I couldn't care less about a Zuvio figure but obviously nobody was like "Let's make a figure of this guy who's not gonna be in the movie."
>>5608724
>Of course they don't. Nobody at Hasbro sees a script. Nobody in marketing gets a script.
They always give the scripts to Lego, why should they act different with Hasbro?
>>5608724
>but obviously nobody was like "Let's make a figure of this guy who's not gonna be in the movie."
Feels like it though when the description does not specify that he is in only one or two scenes that might easily be cut out. Kind of defeats the point of their work when what they wanted to achieve isn´t achieved.
>>5608780
Okay, you're right. They hand out the scripts to anyone who wants one, that's why we all knew the complete plot of the movie months ahead of time. Hasbro decided that they'd make the most money with a character who wasn't in the movie. You win.
>>5608821
I'm pretty sure they get the final cut of the movie a full year before the editors finalize it 2 months before its release date.
I mean, how can they not, when toy companies need to start production of the toys more than a year before its supposed to be released?
>>5608537
>Snow trooper 2-pack with one of those turrets
Providing they don't cheap out on articulation I'd buy it. I'd buy it hard
>>5608724
They were completely counting on hype to move the toys. That's why they came out months before the actual movie.
That's why everyone was scrambling to find Kylo Ren and Phasma, even though they sucked really hard in the movie.
It was people getting Jar Jar tattoos all over again.
>>5608900
Jar Jar tattoos? Geez they must feel like retards now. Kylo is badass hope we see him and the knights massacre lukes students in a flashback.
>>5608886
Uhh... I don't want to be rude, man, but you have zero idea how the movie industry works if you think this happens. All the toy companies need, or get, is drawings of the characters. Maybe photos of costume tests, promo shots, etc. But that is it. Why would they need more than that?
>>5608913
>hope we see him and the knights massacre lukes students in a flashback.
Oh, you have no idea of the power of the Dark Side...
BEHOLD!!!

The leaked plot synopsis of Episode Eight! George Lucas could only dream of a plot twist this idiotic!

That's pretty funny.

He is the edgelord but still has presence of a good villan that has emotional turmoil.

Yeaaah theres no way thats real.

Fucking LOL. Not a bad twist if only the dialogue was better. Still, feels like a lot of plot for one movie (but then so was TESB)
