The face sculpt is pretty good; looks like the Endor capture Luke which is one of the best ones. They probably could've handled the hood/goggles/scarf situation better, but it's a good figure from a more civilized age. Kinda wish I had a tauntaun now. I'm expecting more from Maul since it's new.

I'm skeptical of outright new sculpts of ANH figures because Hasbro seem to dread that kind of updating (and always have, to be clear). It'd be nice, though. A new Guinness Obi-Wan in particular if they don't screw the pooch on the robe.

I don't care for the new lightsaber blade style, though. They're more accurate to the movies/TCW but to me they're less interesting to look at than the older lightsaber style the line used. Overall it's a more impressive figure than what TBS has put out lately and it's what I've wanted from the TVC revival from the start. Maybe I'll be a TVCfag again after all.

>>9570594 By the end of Phantom Menace, we're one third done with the story, and Anakin & Obi-Wan have no real relationship with each other yet.
10 year time skip between TPM & AOTC means most of the movie has to be spent reintroducing the characters and staging the setting, instead of just jumping into the action.
The mystery over who tampered with the Jedi archives; which is one of the driving forces behind the Obi-Wan side plot is just dropped and never brought up in ROTS.
Because Anakin & Obi-Wan spent all of AOTC either fighting or separated, ROTS has to backtrack to make them the bros they should have been in the past 1 movies, and then have to rush to Anakin's fall.
Padme does nothing and loses the will to live.
Genndy & Filoni's series helps elevate the Clone Wars era to the Original's levels for me personally. Making TPM & ATOC a sort of prologue and pilot to the cartoons, and makes ROTS even more impactful.
Prequel era has a better, more complex story than the Original trilogy, but it wasn't executed nearly as great as the OT without the story expansion packs of the animated series.

>>9570571 S1 Mando was nearly perfect imo, just S2 some fucking suit saw the success and demanded that they roll in all the shit people "expect" of SW in the normie sphere and it shows horribly. Simple stories about some asshole trying to make a buck and hide a shriveled green child were a hundred times better than the crap they tried to string together in S2. Fully expecting S3 to be just a direct continuation of Mandalorian politics from TCW despite that being the exact opposite of what made the show so refreshing originally.

But they were his mistakes, not some board of producers trying to cobble together the same magic an indie director did by committee.

>>9570627 You knoe what I find most frustrating about both Mando and Booba Fatt?
Both shows are about Boba Fett armored bounty hunters, and they hardly do any bounty hunting!
With 2 shows so similar to each other you'd think at least one of them would have just focused on the main draw of the character archetype.
Each week a different mark that gradually leads up to some kind of season end boss battle. Mando could have started out with just his helmet and a pistol, and gotten more gear as he loots enemies and makes bank.

>>9570638 That’s not really what the shows are about though. Boba specifically is about him becoming more than just a bounty hunter. He literally said in the last episode that he’s tired of taking orders from idiots and wants to build something for himself.
Mando does do some hunting, but he’s got to balance that with taking care of the kid. It’ll be interesting to see what S3 does. In theory he’ll just go back to hunting without the kid, but now he has the dark saber and people will be after that now. He’s being drawn into a larger story. Just being a bounty hunter isn’t going to deal with those larger issues, so we probably won’t see it too much.
From the last episode, it’s pretty obvious Mando is going to show up on Boba to help him out. I think it’d be interesting if Boba established a sanctuary for Mandalorians on Tatooine. That would give them a new permanent home while giving Boba the power to make Tatooine a safe place to live for all the inhabitants.

the show would work better if instead of Boba getting Shand and Krrsantan as a group of bounty hunters who want to run the show it was simply Boba getting all of Jabba/Bib’s former workers/slaves/droids together as sort of a factory workers taking over the factory thing. Like Boba rally’s all the Gamorreans and Nikitos from Jabba’s Palace and gets there support with his argument about not working for idiots any more and leading with respect.

>>9570820 I think the structure of the show is just not serving itself well. They've been half-assing two plotlines. If they had just done a feature length first episode, like what Bad Batch did, that just focused on his time with the Tuskens and up to when he rescued Fennec, then it would set up the rest of the show better because the rest could just be spent in the present time and we'd understand his motivations going in. At the moment, everything feels a little shallow. If he wants to be a crime lord, fine okay, but he isn't really accomplishing anything because we only get him in the present for about 10 minutes each episode.
I think he should have done like what you said and rallied people together but also they need to go heavier on what actual problems he is solving by making himself crime lord. It feels like the mention from the mod girl of "there are no jobs" should be a major issue in the city. Like maybe it could have been a result of the way Fortuna was running things. If he had set up a deal with the Pykes that fucked everyone over but himself and the ones he put in charge of the territories, it'd almost make sense to turn him into this fat glutton to symbolize his selfishness as a daimyo where everyone else suffers while he gets rich. Then Boba killing him and becoming the new crime lord would be almost an act of him becoming the new sheriff in town and he can fix this Pyke problem. Now there's good motivation because he already tried that once for the Tuskens after stopping the Pyke's train and it wound up getting them all killed. This would give him a chance to redeem that failure.

We've heard for decades, both from Hasbro itself, as well as from others like Toy Guru that if it's sold in the toy department in a store, the target demographic are children.
What kid has the time, resources, know how, and patients to snag an item in a 2 minute long preorder, and then wait 6 months to almost 2 years?
Everything is so expensive and hard to get, by the time you get it in hand, the child will probably have moved on to something else.

>>9571961 All Hasbro stuff can be fixed with hot water in my experience. Just heat up a mug of water in the microwave for maybe 90 seconds and dunk the figure in headfirst. The plastic will soften and return to its original shape almost instantly, and then you can either just let it cool down to room temp or dunk it under the tap with cold water running. Can also do the same thing to fix loose grips on hands as well.

>>9571961 I just got mine a week or two ago. All you need is not water. Heat it up to where it's just about to start boiling and then dip the head in for 20-30 seconds. The helmet should return to it's proper shape on its own but you can also squeeze it into the desired shape while it's still malleable. Then let it cool and you should be good to go.

They're also weird about what figures get new sculpts, Bespin Lando is a figure that definitely needed a new sculpt but I don't know if I would've chosen him for a new TVC tooling slot when the last two Landos that were reissues with photoreal, both sold pretty poorly.

>>9573061 Pretty much since the beginning of the modern line, Hasbro has had this notion that main characters always sell no matter what. Sometimes it's been true, but there have been tons of periods where main characters have pegwarmed. Hell, Han has historically been a fairly slow seller. Then there's times like this where Hasbro just went full hog and figured that main characters, plus a movie in theaters to promote them, meant they would score big bucks. In some ways it's an understandable assumption, toys used to sell big in movie years compared to non-movie years. Their mistake was assuming that a 3D re-release of Episode 1 was going to have the same kind of sales boost as an actual new movie, and it wasn't even just toys, there were all kinds of merchandise tie-ins just like if this were a brand new movie. It fell flat, and the Episode 1 tie-in toys sat on shelves for years. People were still finding Ric Olies with 3D glasses at Walmart as recently as 2017.

>>9573265 It helps that the first run of TVC was better than the second run which has been really hit or miss (largely due to Hasbro treating it as low-priority), so it gives people a more rose-tinted perception of it but yeah it still had a lot of reissues and duds. I think it also didn't help that we had years of cardfags loudly demanding the return of TVC and trying to paint it as some golden era, when the 3.75 Black Series subline was basically the same thing, also filled with some fantastic figures and some noteworthy duds.
About the only thing that's really changed is that Hasbro's now dividing their efforts between 6 inch and 3.75 inch, but the same problems that have plagued this line for years are still present. Basically nothing has really changed. Hasbro makes the same mistakes over and over and you can't always blame Disney for it because they've been doing this shit long before Disney.

So I've had the Black Series Archive wave 501st trooper and Leia on pre-order with Dorksidetoys since they were listed. Pre ordered them right away. I still haven't gotten them yet. They keep getting pushed back. I know they hit Walmart's at one point but I never saw them in my area. I've seen newer waves at Walmart like the wave that has Tech and General Lando in it. But never the Archive wave. Am I ever going to get that wave in? Did anyone get theirs from other online stores like BBTS or EE?

>>9575782 >turns a blind eye to the first order kidnapping kids from people as high up as lando. God this was so retarded. The FO/NR conflict was already really stupid and involved a bunch of politicians who had lived through the rise of the Empire and its defeat just going "nah they're harmless cosplayers let's not worry about them." But then you add the fact that they were deliberately taking the children of rebel leaders as revenge and somehow the NR still decided this wasn't a big problem and the FO were not a problem. It's not even like the kids just went missing and nobody knew what happened, they knew it was the FO.
They also could've spared Lando and had him be the only major OT character whose life hadn't turned to shit after ROTJ but nope, we need to make him a sad hermit too.

>>9575798 This one happened because JJ has only a few storytelling tricks he can turn to. He had no idea how to do a Star Wars movie without just copying other ones, so he just copied TFA: Lando becomes an self-exiled hermit like Luke, and also lost his kid to the villains like Han and Leia. The only thing stopping Lando from being a miserable wreck is the fact that Billy Dee Williams had too much charisma left in him to play the character as a depressed hobo so even through all of the shit the story set up for him he's still got the winning smile. Hell, out of all the heroes Williams seemed like the only one who was actually happy to be there.

George Lucas wanted everyone to hate Boba Fett. he named the character after a shithead school bully he dealt with. gave him no real personality, made him a villain, had him die like a bitch. He only relented on the popularity because money was to be made, now the entire canon has to bend over backwards for a character intended to be thrown away.
Anonymous
>>9578059 >George Lucas wanted everyone to hate Boba Fett. Gonna need a source for that. His design was far and away the best/coolest of the bounty hunters and he had a speaking role where he spoke equally with Vader. Those two alone were enough of an indication of how much of a badass this guy was and it would be obvious to anyone that people would gravitate towards him. It's like suggesting that people were supposed to hate Grievous. Even Crimson Corsair had a bit of a following despite 0 worthwhile action figures just because he looked neat in the 4 seconds he was on screen.

Now that I've pointed it out, he'll do it once more. Just focus on actual toys and quit bringing him up. Last I'm done speaking of him.

I'll get flak for saying this, but give us a to-scale-with-figuress Millenium Falcon interior playset without fussing over fitting it into the constraints of a toy vehicle.

>>9579479 >I'll get flak for saying this, but give us a to-scale-with-figuress Millenium Falcon interior playset without fussing over fitting it into the constraints of a toy vehicle. I've wanted the same thing too, since it's impossible anyway to really do a full to scale Falcon with all the play features, and even if you did, the fact that it has to also be a vehicle will constantly get in the way of any display or play options. A playset or even a series of playsets could allow you to re-create specific scenes from the interior.

Anyways, here’s some toys

>>9579695 Yeah. I find it funny because I don't think Koska has even a single line of dialogue during the assault, and Bo-Katan still had the entire fucking Deathwatch available to her. And they just kinda, chose not to utilize any of those assets. Seriously I enjoyed Mando, but holy shit it fell apart by the end. I'd just really like them to release a TBS Axe, so I can buy 3 and repaint them to make custom Deathwatch dudes.

>>9579769 But could you imagine if a Tor Vizsla Death Watch armor design shows up, and Boba, maybe remembering some stories and maybe even photos (whatever they’re called in Star Wars) or video (hologram) recordings his dad had of the Mandalorian Civil War he was in, and it canonizes even more aspects of the Open Seasons comic. And then there’s like a little duel/battle between some Mandos who follow old Death Watch and Boba Fett?
Of course I’m sure that they won’t do that, but still, it’s neat to think about.

>>9579987 What about Aliens that can survive without heads/regrow heads?
>>9580008 So, did he build the ship from scratch, using Naboo starfighter schematics he found? Or did he just find/purchase a fully functioning? Or did he cobble tihrher pieces of ships, and most of the pieces were like Naboo fighters? Or is it like when you make a car/bike from random pieces you found, and the “Naboo fighter” ship shape is actually just a generic ship shape?
Also, weren’t Naboo fighters actually not all they good, since, before Phantom Menace, Naboo did t really have much need for fighter-class ships, and the ships were mostly just for defense and light escorts? Like, aren't they “light fighters” (I forgot what the real term is) where they go for speed rather than armaments and armor, so their weapons are usually weaker/don’t have as much ammo, and have thinner hulls and maybe less shielding?

>>9579951 Nah, that's obviously an excuse to tie in with a future Mando ep I'd imagine and so the next episode can focus on setting up for the climax without having Mando hogging the spotlight.
Well, that's what I would hope they're doing, makes no goddamn sense why they'd have the penultimate episode not focus on Fett.

When he gets there it's a Naboo Fighter all in pieces. She says then that she's going to fix it up and customize it for him and make it better, getting parts from Jawas. Mando then gives a list of upgrade parts to the Jawas to find and customizes it with her, so it'll be faster than other ships, which he uses to get away from some New Republic police who pull him over during his test flight, escaping their X-Wings. They even put a hotrod engine in it.

>>9580153 I have the SHF with my Black Series stuff and it looks fine. Alternatively you can get the BS version and then that cheap 6" version that's at Walmart in a white box that kind of looks like a scaled down Titan Heroes and swap that head onto the BS. A lot of people have been doing that and it looks pretty good. And I'm sure Hasbro is going to throw out a season 2 version which will have all of the accessories (as a deluxe pack of course).

At this point I'd rather just buy a few SHF/Mafex a year for my Star Wars fix which kind of sucks since new TVC sculpts have been really good and I was hoping to army build standard Phase II clones whenever they come out in Black Series. And when everything evens back out, there is no way Hasbro will all of a sudden lower the prices back to what they were pre-pandemic.

>>9580405 Brian Flynn from Super7 said this was happening industry wide when he raised his prices to $50 and toy collectors ridiculed him for saying it and accused him of ripping people off for doing it, but Super7 seems to keep getting vindicated on their decisions. Flynn said the market was crazy and that he had even explored trying to produce action figures in the US, which would have cost the same price due to the ever increasing prices of materials and inflation. The only thing holding it back was that no American factories were equipped physically for toy production since it had all been outsourced for decades. So toys would still be expensive, but Americans would make them again, and they would flood the market in a matter of weeks instead of months with no need to wait for ships from China. Most toy production according to Flynn will have to move out of China within the next decade due to price increases.

>>9580278 Legitimately curious, and not being a snarky cunt when I ask, but would you mind explaining how? I was under the impression that it being called the Darksaber was just a name given to the weapon, but that it is still a lightsaber before anything else. It just happens to be one designed and created by a Mandalorian, with a different style blade, but the theoretical stuff having to do with the crystal inside of it, and how it manifests the will, emotions, and psychology of it's wielder all track pretty much the same.

>>9580586 Gonna have to totally disagree with you. I love Open Seasons and have had the issues since they came out but one of the only changes from the TCW that I thought was better than the EU was taking the Death Watch from retarded barbarians with no motive other than “we wuz retarded barabeians n sheeit” to being some guys trying to reclaim their heritage from some cultural ruining (and very short sighted) hippies. It made the Death Watch far more interesting and the pacifist government didn’t do anything to the established Mandalorian warriors of before or after the era (you would barely even know it happened in Rebels or Mando, didn’t make them pacifists in the long run at all).
