Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion

For reasons like above im glad im not collecting disney +star wars figures anymore. Too many questionable decisions and mistakes. Like i was tempted to get baylen and his apprentice but how badly they messed up her head sculp and gave them red sabers instead of orange was a deal breaker for me. It wouldnt be too big a deal at $20 but at $40 after tax is too much for that kind of stuff to be happening. i dont have the money to be buying redos of figures that should have been done properly the first time

Yup, I was tempted to preorder Baylon and his apprentice too, but her messed up hair made me balk at spending the money and if I wasn't going to get her, then I decided not to get her master either. Ideally I would display both together, so Hasbro lost two sales through that mess-up.

Hopefully they fix this for the eventual TVC releases.

I'm in Ontario and the two I regularly go to don't have the final sale policy for anything except Funko and Trading cards.

I think the initial policy was going to include action figures but they scrapped that pretty quickly.

As for swaps only seen one in store, a Buzzworthy Bumblebee Cliffjumper was swapped for the regular release. I bought it not knowing and didn't care that it was swapped as it was on sale.

I have received a swapped Quake/Shield agent from the Controller Marvel Legends BAF wave. It was swapped out for the ancient Maria Hill/Sharon Carter 2 pack.

Han Solo Holocomm is up at GameStop for $49.99. No sign of the other Hasbro Pulse exclusive Mando Holocomm.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion

Got her for very cheap. I really don't like how many layers of plastic dresses she has. I removed her inner skirt and replaced it with a Yavin Leia's. It improves the range of motion slightly but it also makes the figure less heavy. I like it, even though some may think it doesn't really add anything.




Can kinda get a walking pose

Saw Pre Vizula today, but passed on it (even though I've literally been waiting years for it). Man what a letdown that figure is, being on that stumpy non-posing Jango body. Hasbro's brazenly cheap re-use is one of the main things keeping this line from being truly amazing.

Surprised to see that he still has the blood on his arm. I was sure they would not do that for the regular release.
