Hasbro did sneak a couple additional figures into their Rebels display last Saturday. I’m not sure sneak is the right word, however, for there was a man dressed as the Rebels version of Clone Wars Captain Rex present when they added the figure. I grabbed some pics of those and a couple more shots of the Black Series figures and massive The Force Awakens diorama.
Along with the Rebels versions of Ahsoka and Vader, Hasbro showed off figures of the older version of Captain Rex from Rebels and a brand new Inquisitor character. We’ve seen three inquisitors so far in Rebels and hopefully these guys get names soon. The big Inquisitor has an interesting hat that recalls ancient Japanese hats. Japanese influences are a good fit with the Jedi of Star Wars. Rex’s redesign as an older, bearded, almost Santa Clause like figure feels right to me and I’m looking forward to the figure and the character’s appearance in the show.
There seemed to be a real dearth of 4 inch scale figures this year. I imagine it’s due to confidentiality concerns and there will be tons of 4 inch scale The Force Awakens figures in stores by September.
The reveal of Kanan Jarrus in the black series was probably my favorite reveal of the show. He’s my favorite character in my new favorite Star Wars thing and now he and Sabine and Ahsoka are being made in my favorite figure style. Honestly, if I didn’t know better, I’d think they made these calls just for me. I hope the green of the armor is slightly brighter in production, though. It looks a little dark here.
I had to go back and try and take some more pictures of this astonishing diorama. The lighting and details are all so great and I really want some hallways lit by those cool Imperial illumination panels for my own troops (see below).
Does anyone know when the 6 inch Kanan Jarrus and Ahsoka Tano will get released? I saw on IGN a release date of 9/4/15 but, that has came and went with no luck. Any info is appreciated.
You never know. He could do well as on online exclusive.
It looks great and I hope it’s a success. Who knows we may get Vader’s TIE, some original trilogy TIEs and a few X-Wings (The Force Awakens and OT) hopefully 🙂
Man… i hope old man rex gets a black series… well same with the inquisitors, I really like the Rebels designs shifted to the realistic look… and those two… would be awesome. Though the hat makes me sad we may not get an Embo…
Just look at what you are getting. For perspective, once you see the price of the Hot Toys version you will see how much of a value it is. $170.00 is still $170.00 but this thing is HUGE. Speeder Bikes are one thing, I never thought we would be getting fighters. So much great stuff from so many great toy companies.
Yeah, but you’ll be the coolest kid on your block. Jealousy is fun!
I want one, but $170 is pretty damn steep for it.
I hope I live long enough to see all the great stuff to come. My wife is going to kill me!
I have NO idea where I’m gonna put that TIE Fighter. Probably on the roof of my car.
