@trunks3540 Thanks. These are the gummier ones from more recent versions so I'm thinking if I heat them up a little and bend them back into place it might work. It's actually the handle that's bent, too, not the blade (except Jaina's, her's is wonky AF now), so I'm hoping I won't snap anything.
As long as you're not trying to snap them like a pencil they should bend back without heat. Just do it carefully. They're fairly durable. Alot of the hilts being made of basically rubber is a big issue though. That makes alot of the blades look wonky when they're perfectly fine. Qui gons is especially notorious. You could bend that hilt 90°. I usually dab some super glue inside the hole and clean out the excess with a push pin or a paper clip to try and harden the plastic a little so it doesn't bend as much, to varying degrees of success depending on the hilt and plastic used. It worked well for Aayla Securas, Revans, and some Luke blues. But it didn't help Qui gons at all that I could tell.
saw some factory leaks on Reddit of the upcoming Ahsoka Anakin. Disappointingly, but unsurprisingly they’re reusing the old target exclusive with a new head, and decade old parts.
You thought they wouldn't? I don't mean to offend, but this is Hasbro. I never thought it would be otherwise. I expected it to be the old mold with a new head. It's good for people who didn't get the CW version, but I'm probably gonna skip it.
Jecki got pushed back on Amazon till like the 22nd or something stupid. Le sigh. Also should've gotten charged and a shipping notice for Baylan from Wal Mart since hes supposed to be here on the 3rd. And that hasn't happend so I'm guessing he'll be pushed back too.
Target exclusives are on sale!

Thanks for that! Picked up their droids set. Target is also running a 10% off of toys sale that stacks with the 30% off of select items sale so it was closer to 40% off than 30%.
That 10% off of toys sale ends Saturday so I'd take advantage of this during the week if you need any of the items affected. Not many Black Series items are a part of the 30% sale. Hati from the Acolyte and the droids set were the main ones I saw that I wanted, but I decided against Hati because I've already forgotten most of the Acolyte and it's done now. Odd that she's still a pre-order there but they've already got her on deep discount, but I guess I'm not surprised. Almost every local store has plenty of the droids set, so I was easily able to get it for in-store pickup.
Anyone think that the rocket jets and rocket flame effects from the droid set that come with R5-D4 will get added to the new R2-D2 mold soon? That R2-D2 was SO perfect except for missing those rocket boosters, and when they do re-release it with the boosters I'm sure I'll cave and buy him again with that slight upgrade. 😳
@enigmaticclarity man, where do you always find these 10% deals?! I was looking at the app and couldn't find anything.

Oh...oops, must be one of those random deals they send to specific people. My bad! 😳
I got that one, too. But there is very little to spend it on.
To make up for it: Amazon has the Halloween repaint two-pack on sale!
@enigmaticclarity Shin Hati wasn't in acolyte. She was in Ahsoka. Just FYI.

Oh yea. I was mis-led by Target still listing her as a pre-order...I forgot she's been out for a while.
Oh, Target...you screw up so much, so often, and in so many ways now. 😫
Got a shipping notice for Enoch and the Night Trooper. Might be time to finally ship my Thrawn. Enoch and Morgan are gonna need a leader to look up to!
Enoch arrived! Such a bad ass design. I hope they don’t Captain Phasma him. So much more could have come from her character.
The Night Trooper is cool too. In my head cannon these are Force zombies. The Night Sisters have tapped into a way to use the midechlorians to suck life out from other living creatures. So prolonged exposure to groups of these Troopers sucks the life out of beings. Force sensitive characters are bigger meals for these zombies…
This is why droids will help save the galaxy…
The figures are cool. I want more. So I’m gonna mod some of my older ones with paint and ribbons. Their odd joints add to the zombie like look.
Thwipp!
OMG, i FORGOT about Enoch and the Night Trooper. I got shipping notice from Walmart for them and the cloaked Baylan (I know I don't NEED two Baylans but dangit, I will buy both versions of Ray Stephenson's last appearance without hesitation) and also the two pack but both were listed by their code names in the shipping info so I was like... what is actually showing up tomorrow? Really looking forward to the two pack, and I do like having the option of displaying characters I love in two looks so Baylan and Shin will have two spots on the shelf.
It's funny, I was far, far more into the Acolyte than Ahsoka, but Ray's performance still haunts me. That one line. I miss the idea of it. It just turns the camera angle on the franchise in such a quiet and profound way. "I miss the idea of it," "one way out," and Luthen's monologue... Star Wars has given us a feast of old men staring down the battle of their lives and choices wishing for a different galaxy these past few years.

I got the text notification saying that my "Black Series Mackenzie" has shipped and it took me a good 30 seconds of trying to figure out who Mackenzie was before I gave up and just checked the order. 🤣
Off topic, but I watched the new Lego Star Wars special on Disney+ the other day. Super fun and cute, and obviously we'll never get non-Lego figures of those (although I guess we kinda already did, with
White Vader , but I wonder how easy some customs would be, like a Darth Jar Jar (who'd probably be the hardest to do) or the Darth versions of Rey, Rose, and Kit, or the Ackbar Troopers, which would mostly boil down to just a headswap, I'd imagine.
