I did cancel Sol. Great character on screen but not someone I need on the shelf. Still have Yord and Jecki on preorder but undecided about them. Mae I'm definitely getting, and probably Kelnacca if they make him. I'm hoping for dark side Osha still. Qimir and Plagueis would be absolutes, heh heh.
Jecki and Qimir were the best characters in the show full stop. Kelnacca was awesome just because wookie jedi. I rather liked Indara as well. I'd get the first 3 as figures, I'd consider Indara and maybe Yord. If Mother Koril had a bigger part to play, she might have made the list as well. For Qimir my preference would be for him to come with swappable heads, mask on and mask off - but there's no way the Black team would do that - they will absolute release a civilian Qimir figure and a masked, robed "The Stranger" figure.

Heh, exactly. Action scenes are great, but that figure was sold to me as soon as I saw him standing there.

Yeah, I get that. I like the various types of witches they've shown as ideas, but have yet to see one on screen that was a cool enough design to put on the shelf. A lot of the Nightsisters feel like Ventress derivatives, so I am content with just her. Sorta like how I got rid of most of my Mandalorian characters. And I think I was a bigger fan of this coven than most, but still not into any of them as far as 'neat, I want to display that'.

Partly because I'd be really tempted to get both. But ultimately I just want him robed and masked. With a solid helmet head, not a Qimir head with an oversized, misshaped helmet that goes over it.
I pre-ordered the single-pack Super Battle Droids from Amazon back when they first went up, and they just arrived today. LOVE these guys, and I wish every figure came with the blaster effect they included with these.
Bbts says the SBDs are coming soon too. I ordered 2, but I may get a couple more later if they go on sale or something.
Also got the Mandalorian Fleet Commander from the Amazon Prime day sale. He's a pretty nice figure for the most part. But the plastic they used for the blue armor is all swirly and, while I don't hate that as a rule, I think it would've looked better painted. He also doesn't have a pistol holster. That's weird. And, as with Axe, the helmet is just so fuckin big and does not fit, at all. Had to put some little rubber pieces in there to tighten the helmet on. But this is getting ridiculous. Why can't they just do fuckin alternate heads. It's a joke that the old helmets fit fine but these new ones are bobble headed buckets. Is it the head? Is it too small? This one looks a little small, Axes looks a little small, but I can't imagine that's the reason the helmets don't fit. I'm tired of wasting little plastic pieces to make helmets fit like they should. Sabine was like this too. It's uncalled for. Do alternate heads, it's not like you don't have the molds anyway, considering the Deathwatch Mando exists. And if I had to guess, those new exclusive Mando guys probably come with that, or something similar. Or, and while I don't like those as much, just put a blank head under the oversized bucket and still make the heads swappable. Sorry for the rant, I'm just annoyed at this.
Otherwise the mold is good and if it wasn't for lack of a pistol holster, I would try to get another one later to put a different head on and make another Mando. But the lack of pistol holster and giant helmet really hurt this figure.

So you don't want it screen accurate?
Uh oh, I've been misunderstood.
Didn't the Black Series team say they were looking into doing more swappable heads after the whole Sabine fiasco? Or was that just for Vintage Collection? If so, that's how I'd prefer the Stranger, versus a completely separate figure. I'd still get 2, don't get me wrong- one with helmet and outer cloak, and one without helmet and no outer cloak.
I really enjoyed the Acolyte as a whole, and excited to start getting the figures (my GameStop order of Indara, Osha, and Mae shipped- should be here soon). I'd be down for finale versions of Mae and Osha too. I especially likes Osha's digs; hopefully they won't change them up too much if/when season 2 rolls around. I'm sure we won't see a figure of that shadowy baddy until season 2, but man am I excited for whenever we do!
Exactly that, yes.
I would probably get that Osha too, but I'm okay waiting for to see what she's wearing in season 2. And pretty sure there will be a season 2 with the numbers it got. Hate watching still counts as views, heh.
Walmart's Shriek Hawk Trainer set goes up at 7am Pacific on 7/25. $45.
I have THEORIES about Season 2.
Love getting random shipping notices from Walmart for exclusives I didn't remember the shipping date for. Nite Owl should be here tomorrow. (Of course on a day I'm not at my home office I'm going to be getting two Gamestop boxes, a Walmart Box, a Target box and maybe an Amazon box too from various lines. OOPS.)
With Comic Con next week, I really hope they announce some new Jedi and Sith/Dark Side Users for the Black Series line. There are still so many to make, and it would be nice to start adding some more.

For God's sake, any of those would thrill me.
The finale was really underwhelming, and dampened my excitement for even the Jedi figures. It was such an awkwardly paced show, and I was kind of annoyed by the cameos in the finale that are most definitely just there to bait the audience into wanting a second season.
@asm That may be true about the cameos, but in my case they didn't really affect me. One was really cool and I'm interested where that goes, but my excitement for a second season was already peaked even without that. The other one... eh. Really didn't matter to me at all.
