Yeah but the pauldron attachment is retarded and really limits the arms pose wise. I had my trooper with his arms up infront of his chest for a couple of weeks and now the pauldrons are stuck sticking up no matter what position the arms are in.

You can if you buy the SHFs, they're all overpainted with a high-gloss white (eggshell matte in the case of the clones).

Obviously you have to deal with the helmet sculpts on the OT Troopers, though...

In general? Yes, it's probably the best Star Wars toyline to date.

In terms of the OT Troopers? I like them, but I'm perverse like that. They do have some serious accuracy issues and very limited forward hip motion, but on the other hand they're really nicely-made. I wouldn't pay more than $50-60 for one though.

How can it be the best when it's simply just mediocre or bad in all these qualities?

Pic is actual best.
Has some of the best sculpts.
Some of the best painted.
Has the most selection, including vehicles and monsters.

Cept you know Hasbro is totally shit now. Seriously how do you go from the decent Black Series that could be purchased anywhere and that looked amazing to fucking 5POA pieces of shit China bootleg quality figures and a fucking WALMART EXCLUSIVE line. Fuck Hasbro. I'm a fucking box collector and I refuse to buy those piece of shit 5 point figures.

See I've been looking to start a new collection since I hate the current Hasbro shit and I really don't like paying scalpers shit.

Hasbro still releases good quality 3.75" figures. Got the Kylo Ren and he's alright. Not really a fan of the movie, so i didn't bother gettign the other figs.

Last year we got this too and it was boss as fuck.

>I'm a fucking box collector

>>
>>5656233
>I'm a box collector.
In other words I'm scum to most people on this board. I don't open mine. And that set you posted is dope. Toys R Us was just selling that for like 65$ and I'm so fucking tempted. I also picked me up that Kylo and ST but you have to admit that the exclusive line is bland compared to the 2014 line.
>>
>>5656233
Everything in that set is a re-release, they don't make them figures anymore. They've limited them 3.75" figures to Wal-Mart exclusives and soon they'll be gone forever!

I'm glad Hasbro relies so much on re-re-re-re-re-re-releasing figures or else I'd have never gotten a ton of characters i like.

At this point I don't even see them re releasing shit. From what I've read, Hasbro didn't even want to continue the 3.75 figs with more than 5POA but Walmart actually wanted the line. I think with the low sales of this line plus most people hunting for the 6 inch line, we may lose the great figures. Mother fuckers forgot how many amazing figures we got in this line. Your pic related is proof of that. Hell we got a fucking Exar Kun! When will something that cool ever come to the 6 inch series?

This just sounds like bitter tear make believe from an angry collector.

Hasbro wasn't having much success with the 5 PoA toys in the first place and there's no way Hasbro would have not want to make money back from already made molds for newer figures.
Most times, exclusives are made because other stores don't want to carry the line, thus they make a deal with a single chain to carry the line for the added bonus of more foot traffic. So even if other stores might have wanted it, they actually make more money from the exclusive store ordering more of their products.

>When will something that cool ever come to the 6 inch series?
Months from now? You'll never know, until Toy Fair and Comic Con show off upcoming releases.
We will never get something this awesome in 1:12 though.

No other Star Wars line can ever best the 3.75" one.

>No other Star Wars line can ever best the 3.75" one
That's where you and I agree anon
And why else do you think I'm saddened by the decline? Yeah you think oh we'll get some re release. But I hate to say it, I just don't see it happening
>>
>>5654045

thinking about selling my Figuarts Phasma, did you make that cape yourself? The one it comes with is shit.

There's also that Mafex one coming out with actual chrome color, but it's stupid overpriced.
>>
>>5656851
It's actually an Apple screen cleaning cloth. I've been meaning to pick a couple up to tailor into an actual cape for her, it works perfectly.

The Clone Troopers are Sideshow Collectibles, not Hot Toys. Sideshow distribute Hot Toys in the US but they're two completely different companies.

Hot Toys make better figures than Sideshow, generally speaking.
