I got some of those clones from Ali Express that were KOs. Tup, Hardcase, Appo, and 332 medic. They didn't have most of the other named clones in stock, or I would've gotten them. I also wanted at least 1 no named 332. So, the quality is pretty good. They use the mold with the knee pads attached to the top though, I'll have to fix all of them. And it's cool to actually be able to pull their helmets off easily, but it's just a white non painted clone head underneath. The guns are pretty good. Feel a little different then Hasbros, but still good. The only thing I'm worried about is the plastic. It's a different kind then Hasbro uses. Alot of it feels stiffer. But I'm wondering how well the white will hold up over time. I'm curios as to how fast these will yellow. Granted, Hasbros shit yellows too, so it's not like you can get away from it. But I'm wondering if this plastic will be white longer or not. And also how fast it may deteriorate. But the paints are all really good, and I like the fact we can get a bunch of different named guys with custom armor paint. I'm gonna keep an eye out for the ones I like I wasn't able to get like Dogma and the 332 normal trooper. I'm also considering getting Enoch and his Troopers. But alot of them are even more then Hasbro retail so it's like, do I really wanna spend all that money for a few of them that showed up maybe once or twice?
@enigmaticclarity yea I got mine from Gamestop like a month ago. He is literally the same figure. His joints are even still a bit gummy. I wish they would've at least changed the plastic. His head is also smaller then I would like. They'll get people to buy this one then they'll do a new one with better plastic and a proper sized head just to get us to buy him again. Lol.
Odd. The Out of the Basement guys have this Rex as one of their top 10 Black Series figures of all time, and they both like it better than the slightly re-done Walmart exclusive version from a few years ago that has the poncho included, and I think one less shoulder pauldron.
In any event BBTS has him limited to 1 per customer, and he's still almost sold out--the site notes they have 2 left. So looks like demand is still high, or maybe it was a small production run, who knows.
Definitely hoping for a Peli, Two Tubes, Barriss, and the Stranger. I don't think all (or any, apart from perhaps the Stranger) will be revealed today, but I'll take what I can get! Oh, and more Fallen Order/Survivor figures. I know we have 1 on the way, but gimme that Mantis crew, dangit!

The Rex re-issue is now sold out at BBTS. It's also pre-sold out at EE and Nerdzoic, and I don't see it on the Gamestop site at all which I assume means they sold out of it. Looks like he really sold like hotcakes, which I guess I'm not surprised by given that he seems to be the most popular clone.
Well... that's good to me because I JUST sold mine, like last week! For a decent price (I made a few bucks, literally, but it was still the cheapest one on ebay at the time), and the buyer even told me he was happy about the price. But I didn't know this Rex reissue was happening, so I felt bad when I saw that. but if it sold out so quickly, maybe he wouldn't have had a chance to get one for retail price anyway.
I’m still holding out for Amaiza Foxtrain:
We never thought we’d see Jaxxon. Now how about Amaiza, Hasbro?
Free Amaiza!
@enigmaticclarity I didn't say he was bad by any means. I love all the details and this clone mold. He's just a little gummy and his head is kinda tiny to fit the helmet. I still really like him, those are just the flaws I see.
And Amaiza looks... ngl, that looks fuckin weird. Like, if a clown was also a stripper? Harley Quinn from space if she forgot how to dress. Lol sorry, I'm done.
I lied, 1 more. Space pirate Gwenpool.
I had heard earlier that Star Wars at PulseCon was at 2pm, but the schedule they're showing during it says 2:25 PM EST.
They apparently pushed everything back 25 minutes at the start.
Finally catching up on the Star Wars stuff. Xizor, cool!
Bacara, awesome! I sold all my named clones but I'm happy for those who want him.
So no new reveals. Ah, well. I guess Xizor was new- we'd seen the prototype, but I don't think he was even pipelined before, so for those who missed the proto, he was new, I think. I think what they did show off looks pretty good. Dagan looks great; I'm glad they went with the robed version (though I wonder how many casual fans who didn't play the game are gonna get him and think he's broken since he's missing an arm?). Glad to have Bacara, and the Commando Droid looks great too. Hope he's not too terribly flimsy like a lot of the droids. Non-soft goods Luke and Leia look really nice as well. About darn time!
At least NYCC is soon, so we'll hopefully get some more pipeline reveals then, but odd that Hasbro didn't do more for their big event.
Yeah, collecting is just a constant state of "well, maybe at the next event..."
If you're having trouble preordering, use the app and check out with PayPal. Looks like the only method that isn't glitchy AF right now.
Slowly drip feeding us Jedi Survivor figures. Glad to see this one, but I need more supporting characters!
