I got Huyang for fairly cheap. He's not a bad figure. He has some nice things about him. But the lack of, what was it, 4? fake sabers is a bit disappointing. I would've even been happy with 2. But the 1 he has doesn't even have a blade (that is the training saber thing right?). The backpack is cool though, and the sculpt and articulation are nice for a droid. I also got Padme in the white. I don't think i mentioned that. It's an old ass figure judging from the box lol. But it's not awful. The head is pretty good. The body does what it needs to. I thought the comic Leia was basically a repaint with some additions of this Padme, but the only thing it looks like they share is the cape so that was a nice surprise. Anyway, I needed a Padme and I don't know if I want the TPM figure or not. This one is fine for what I need.
That's funny, I'm selling my Huyang. I'm doing yet another purge, really getting down to the ones I absolutely love and/or think are so damned neat! And trying to shed any "if I have that one, I should have this one" figures and just keep that one.
After purging some more of the collection, I revisited my wishlist and was a little surprised at how few I deleted. There's still a serious chunk devoted to EU, but for on screen wants, I think my top ten is now:
- Boba Fett - first preproduction version (the eyes helmet from the parade)
- Leia Organa - Kenobi series
- Takeel
- The Stranger
- Snowtrooper Officer
- Klaatu
- Weequay
- Barriss Offee
- Two Tubes
- KE4-N4 - E-Wing Astromech in Ahsoka
If we get nothing else from Acolyte I would be fine, except for Darth Smiley and Kelnacca. Those are musts.
Yeah... I almost made a joke about me assessing my collection and updating my want list and just having it be Kelnacca in all caps, but then decided I was becoming a bit one note about the whole thing. But I'm with you on that. I'm gonna need the woookie jedi.

Let’s keep a team together. 😎
Free Amaiza!
@detectivehoag i get that but I'm refusing to do the "if I have that guy, I should also have this guy" thing. I never had Barads as a kid, and not as into Nikto. Maybe I'm bigoted, I dunno. I'll have to examine that.
I’m on a Star Wars kick lately. My daughters play the Lego Skywalker Saga video game every day. And I finally got to take them to see Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland for the first time. It was such a fun experience! I had to get Black Series Dok Ondar, because the Black Spire Outpost was amazing in person. Dok Ondar is a really nice figure. Love the paintwork and accessories. He even has mini holocrons. Of course, my kids needed a real holocron—and it’s a fun item as well, with lights and a lot of sound effects.
Also picked up an extra Stormtrooper vs. Rebel trooper at Disneyland. And then Target had sale on Star Wars this weekend, so I finally got Huyang and a Pyke Trooper—both of which are very cool.
Topping it all off, I just got Hammerhead as well. Very dynamic for a big alien character. He looks great. Really fun to get two Ithorians!
Speaking of Disney Star Wars— my daughters, wife, and I had such a blast talking to Rey, Kylo Ren, and First Order Stormtroopers at Galaxy’s Edge. They were all in character and really made the Star Wars world feel alive.
Still on the hunt for Jecki near me. I know I could go ahead and just order her on GameStop to ship, but I crave the thrill of the hunt. Other than the occasional Mae and Indara, the other Acolyte figures have been hard to find around me. Seen a couple Oshas and Yords, but never any Sols or Jeckis. I know they haven't quite fully released yet, but still- far from the pegwarmers people proclaimed them to be. Only ones that are really pegwarming (and I mean really pegwarming) are the Vader and Mando re-releases. And yeah, I know the whole point was to have those evergreen characters always be on shelves, but still- I hope them not fully selling through doesn't discourage stores from ordering the new stuff that does come out.
They are peg warming at my Walmart. They got a shipper of 4 characters x 2. The shipper disappeared so I thought they were gone. Nope! Sol, Yord, Mae, and Osha are just hanging out. Might give General Lando, Vader, and Mando some competition 😉
Give em a bit. Once the people who want them buy them they'll be sitting there for a while.
Well, I know JEJ was up there but still, RIP.
I think he knew it was coming cause I read somewhere he sold the rights to use his voice as Darth Vader still, like if they piece shit together with old clips of him to make new ones. Or maybe have AI mimic it? I don't know the specifics. But it still sucks. Royally. My grandma died last week, buried her today, and now this.
