There wasn’t a lot of new Star Wars Black Series figures announced at SDCC, the focus was more on the HasLabs past and present, but everything showed looked really good.
They did have a lot of the existing pre-orders on hand and they all looked nice. They actually sold me on the SDCC set of Anakin and Obi-Wan.
The Haslab itself looks beautiful. I’m really impressed at the scale and detail. I don’t collect that line and it’s not quite pulling me off my seat to hop on, but I think it looks great.
Did I say everything looked great? Well, I forgot about this uninspired repack set. Not for me, but that’s fine.
The Palpatine and Mace set is a lot more impressive, mostly because I love the Palpatine portrait. I’m a little unsure of his soft goods, but this is coming home with me.
I’m very grateful that they are making the most needed Acolyte figure with The Stranger. It’s another great portrait and I think the soft goods and plastic work well together.
Jango is one of the older figures that could use an update, so I’m glad they are making a ground-up re-do. The Bounty Hunter look for Asajj is one of my favorite looks for her and they achieved this one well too. Easy buys.
I think my favorite reveal was the centerpiece of Vader VS Luke on Cloud City. I love the dio piece and the look sculpting is on point. It’s nice to see them try newer things.
