Some good pipeline figures. Excited for Bacara and the Commando Droid. Gideon and his Praetorian too. Odd there's no mention of Savage or Qimir, though. Though the lack of Qimir in either scale tells me maybe they either weren't aware or weren't allowed to start anything on him just yet before the show aired. But with his popularity, I'm sure in a year or so we'll be seeing a swath of Darth Smiley stuff in all scales, lines, Hot Toys, you name it. I'd rather them take their time and release him right, and not have another Baylan and Shin sitch.
Some fun stuff. I'm most excited about Prince Xizor (also, I hope that means Savage Oppress is indeed coming too). But Bacara, Ahsoka, Anakin from Ahsoka, Moff Gideon in armor, his Praetorian, Vernestra, and Kelnacca are all definite buys for me.
There were some other things I might get as well, but those were the ones that excited me most.
Dedra Meero for sure. Maybe IG 12/Grogu down the line.
Pipeline: Moff Gideon darktrooper and Anakin. Maybe Kalnacca and Prince Xizor.
Imperial Commando in Beskar Armor! Woohoo!! Finally! So psyched!
And finally more realized images for pipeline reveals for armored Moff Gideon and the Imperial Praetorian Guards! Love it!
Finally getting Gideon. Took them long enough. I'll probably get a couple of him and a at least 2 or 3 Commandos too. And Ahsoka looks really nice. Can't wait for some of these.
I think this is the first pipeline in a while where I'm down to get everything shown. Odd that they'd show animated Rex for the Ahsoka show, but whateva.
Finally got my Target Droids pack in yesterday after the post office held it hostage for a while. I really dig it! The legend and unsung hero himself, R5, is great. Having another BD droid is fun, and I love finally having some Pit Droids. Mine suffer from the same fate as the Battle Droids- their legs are a little too flimsy to stand easily, but not quite as bad, since they're not as top-heavy as the Battle Droids. Gotta boil their legs a bit from being warped in the package, but hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to get them to stand. So far, the SBD is the only prequel era bipedal droid I've gotten to stand on its own. I thought I'd ordered more than one, but only one showed up the other day. Ah, well. I feel like I almost HAVE to get the STAP coming out, so I can finally display my Battle Droids in anything but a pile! 🤣
Come on, Hasbro, make a Peli already! We have pretty much everything she ever interacts with, but not her herself! I'd buy her even if you packed her with another Grogu, or another figure I already have! Just gotta get her on the shelf!
I pre-ordered 2 fromBBTS, but if they ever go on sale I'll probably get 1 or 2 more.
Got all of them except Vernestra and Bazil from Amazon, since those 2 never seemed to go up, at least that I saw (or maybe they sold out super fast, which would also be awesome). Did manage to snag them from BBTS though.
I saw their pages but yeah, looks like they sold out or didn't become active. Weird.
The Walmart Mando 2 pack exclusive for later this year is up on their site for preorder. Ima try to order it probably this week after I get paid since Walmart takes the money right away and then gives it back after like a week. Fuckin nazis.
Also saw the Cal Kestus figure from the 2nd game on bbts which I'm gonna order too since he's above retail everywhere if he's still there when I get paid.
Ordered a few Imperial Beskar Supercommandos! They look so cool. Can’t wait to get a chance to finally order armored Gideon and Imperial Praetorians.
I also got the Target exclusive Mandalorian Privateer—such a cool figure. I just love the color of the blue armor on this one. It is very striking. Great helmet and proportions. The Privateer is one of the best looking Mandalorian figures in my opinion.
It is. I just hate that every non helmet head I try to give mine looks too small. I was looking into some GI Joe heads but I don't know if those would fit better or not. I was trying power rangers and marvel and those all look way too tiny. I definitely wouldn't mind another one to customize though and give some other armor colors or detailing too.
I finally watched Acolyte. It was...fine...? I don't think it was amazing. I could've lived without it. But it wasn't bad. I do think it makes me want some figures more, cept alot of people not gonna be in S2 so its almost a "do I really need them?" But Jedi are Jedi so, I'll probably get most of them on sale of I see them. The only figures I would absolutely preorder though are the Wookie and Darth Smiley. Both such really good looks. And they probably had some of the best scene stealing moments in the show. Otherwise, the show was extremely predictable. I basically saw everything coming, including the ending. And I didn't even see any spoilers on it. I do think the 2nd season has alot more potential though if they do it right.
Gamestop shipped my Rex reissue. Should be here in a couple days. If I had to guess other places will be getting him soon if they haven't already.
