I just thought this line should have a thread. What's everyone's thoughts on this line? Are you buying or will you be buying anything from it?
As of right now I have all the basic and deluxe figures. As far as at retail, I have seen these in Wal-Mart's here in the US. I'm honestly happy about this line. One, it's a nice option to have out there for kids. And 2, these figures go with all the previous 5 POA figures Hasbro made during the Sequel trilogy. And I'm hoping, they have these Epic Heroes for movie lines when Mandolorian and Grogu and Rey: The New Jedi order come out in 2026.
Also, it sounds like there will be vehicles for the Epic Heroes line, which I'm excited to see.
I've got Luke, Vader, Ahsoka, Din and Grogu but they're all carded on my wall. I mostly like 'em for their cardback art.
I hope they make an R2 since along with the five mentioned above, I collect him in as many scales/lines as I can get.
The figures themselves look nice in-person with a good amount of sculpted detail, but pretty lacking on paint apps. Understandable at the $10 price point.
So why do the Marvel Epics get so many more POA than the SWs Epics with 5poa? Is this simply rebranding the SW Retro line or an additional line?
@adrienveidt I don't know what's up with that. Epic heroes are definitely their own line, and they are continuing the Retro figures. But I don't know why Marvel figures get more articulation in their kid friendly 3.75" line.
Perhaps it's because of how insanely expensive the Star Wars license is, and at that scale to meet that price point the extra articulation would cost too much.
But I have no idea.
While these show up in the toy aisle at Wal-Mart, be on the lookout for Epic Heroes in the Easter Display boxes that Wal-Mart puts out in the middle of aisles. The cardboard set ups that have multiple little bins filled with toys to be Easter Basket stuffers like Hot Wheels, Blind Boxes, etc.
I heard about this, and then at my local Wal-Mart found all of the basic single figures in the Easter display. So, I was finally able to get a couple Stormtroopers.
I got Mando’s N-1 in the Epic Heroes line and it’s actually a really nice ship! Absolutely zero buyers remorse here. The Moff Gideon figure was a really nice surprise over at Target too!
Nice! I've been looking for the N-1, but all I've seen new is the Darth Maul deluxe set. I'm glad you found the N-1 though, and I'm glad you like it 🙂
I'll definitely pick it up when I see it.
@supercamel-1982 I can’t wait to see the speeder bike sets that were mentioned a while back. It would also be great to see Moff Gideon’s Tie Fighter and hopefully some X-Wings similarly made to the classic Kenner one.
I'm interested in the speeders too. or any vehicles they want to put out. I actually just ordered a couple new things from Amazon. I got Bo katan and Maul, as well as the Deluxe Boba Fett.
I saw over on YakFace that a Mandalorian 3 Pack has been announced for the Epic Heroes line that has Paz, Axe Woves, and a random Mandalorian warrior.
@supercamel-1982 I saw that Mando multi pack. Looks great! I hope that when they do an X-Wing we get not only one with Luke but we also get variants with Carson Teva, Trapper Wolf, Hera Syndulla and for the Tie one with Tie Fighter Pilot, Moff Gideon and Sabine with personalized paint scheme Tie. A Phantom Menace variant of the N-1 would also be great!
I found some new stuff at Wal-Mart today and picked it up. I found Mando, Grogu, and their N-1. And just as bgiles73 said, it's a really nice ship. It's a very fun little set.
I also got Moff Gideon and Bo Katan in a 2 Pack. I liked the 2 Pack because it actually gives Moff and Bo jet packs. Something that doesn't come with their single releases.
I was glad in the N-1 set that they gave Mando his jetpack, since he didn't get one in his single card release.
That N-1 is pretty tough to leave hanging around on a shelf. I can definitely see the appeal to kids. I have had a hard time not running around the backyard with it like I did as a kid with the original Kenner X-Wing. While I don’t know how they would do a ship like the Millennium Falcon as an Epic Heroes ship I think it’s something I would like to see. I’m hoping some kind of play-set is also a consideration!
The Unite the Clans Mandalorian 3 Pack is In Stock on Amazon.com
You know, the 2 Packs for this line are $20. So, it seemed weird to me that everyone was charging $20 for the Deluxe Maul with armor and lightsaber spinning effect.
He should be $13 like Bo Katan or Paz Vizsla. Well finally today after a month of passing on Maul at $20, my Wal-Mart adjusted the price to the $13 price point. He was like $12.87
Which is much better. So, I picked Deluxe Maul up today.
I have not seen a lot of chatter here about them, but the Mandalorian Speeder Bike and Scout Trooper Speeder Bike look really awesome. The pack in figures that come with them have 9POA like what Hasbro had been doing for Marvel Epic Heroes. I really hope this carries over to all the Star Wars Epic Hero figures. This line is a lot of fun and I don’t mind that it is child friendly for my grandson!
