I was so afraid when Filonni took over Shaak Ti was a lost cause, because why would we want Shaak Ti when his very special little OC is also a Togruta and we have lot of figure of *her* and she’s *better* right?!
so unbelievably hyped! Luminara is cool, will probably get her too, BUT SHAAK TI! Finally SHAAK TI!!!!
Occurs to me if they have the Shaak Ti head sculpt... reckon there's any chance we'll get a Force Unleashed Shaak Ti too? I know she's a little on the cheesecake side but I'd happily buy two of her. (To be fair, I'd buy original and Tales of the Empire Barriss if they made her twice too. All those prequel Jedi make me happy when they show up in Black Series. Ki Adi has never seen the inside of a storage box and probably never will.)
100% in for Shaak Ti, Luminara Unduli, and Sebulba. I had been passing on most Prequel figures, but the nostalgia is strong and those movies in retrospect weren’t the worst thing from Star Wars. The Jedi are awesome designs and help diversify the shelf, and Sebulba is one of Star Wars’ best designs. Looking forward to having that figure with optimal articulation!
Now Savage Opress?! What a weekend for Black Series
Got the Walmart Shriek Hawk two-pack. I’m loving all of these Mandalorians! The blues tie them together but there is a lot of variety in their other colors and gear. The new male Shriek Hawk has different torso armor and lower torso armor and holster. Privateer remains my favorite, but they are all quite fun.
New reveals look great! Finally Shaak Ti! Her duel with Grevious and the Magna Guards remains a highlight.
I am so thrilled right now. When and where can I preorder? I need the Jedi and Savage yesterday. And they look fuckin gorgeous.
I doubt we'll get a TFU Shaak Ti, at least anytime soon. They're kind of not wanting to do "hawt" figures as much. No Oola, Slave Leia, and I think Shaak Ti is in that camp in that outfit. Which also gives me little hope for Talon. Not to mention, we've just recently gotten Galen. Everything else from TFU is trooper repaints. And I'm not 100% sure, but I think that may have just been to shut us up since we've been asking for him for like a decade. He has had so many outfits too, there's no way they're gonna give us much else from that game, which makes me sad.
So, it sounds like due to hints given by Yakface that we will also be getting Barriss Offee from AOTC and a Clone Trooper from ROTS in Black Series.
The Clone Trooper grunt will be from a battalion that we already have the Commander for, from ROTS. So, we have Cody, Gree, and Bacara (coming soon) from Revenge of the Sith. So, the clone we are getting could be a Galactic Marine for Bacara, a 212th Airborne trooper for Cody, or a 41st Elite trooper for Gree.
@supercamel-1982
We've had Bly for awhile. Did you mean Bacara? I would love to get some his marines and a few 327th Star Corps for Bly.
Not sure why the 501st is disqualified either. We have a 212. It could be a 501st on the new body. Fox is also available. So it could be his unit. And Wolfe, pretty sure he had some troopers under him. Plus, the 501st had alot of named clones shown. So if it's not a regular 501st on the new body it could be a named clone. There are alot to choose from.
I may need to get Sebulba, just for the hand-candyness of his weird AF body plan. Wish he came with foot-hands and hand-feet for swapping to his 'triumphant' stance.
Stoked for the new reveals! I really thought they were gonna relegate Sebulba to a 2-pack with podracer Anakin. I'd still like to get his helmet somewhere down the line; maybe if they ever do a 2 pack with another racer. Sebulba looks great, though. I'm interested to see how his design/articulation holds up over time.
Shaak Ti and Luminara look great! So happy to be getting both of them, let alone together. Not trying to start anything, but it is rather awesome to be getting 2 female figures in dresses/skirts in one wave. Take that, McFarlane! Kidding (partially), of course, but I hope they do sell well, if only to show that we want more female figures, and it's okay if they wear a dress too. My inner child is healing, finally being able to get all the female action figures I wanted as a kid but was never allowed because. I know it sounds silly, but it really does feel full circle for me.
It'll be interesting to see what parts they reuse, and what parts of theirs get reused. I'm sure Barriss could reuse some Luminara parts, depending. Just give us more Jedi in general! After these 2, I think my biggest wants would probably be Barriss, Saesee Tiin, and Agen Kolar. Looks like we might be getting a Clone Wars Kit Fisto, and I'd love a Clone Wars Plo Koon too. Keep those Clones of the Republic packs coming!
The Savage reveal is the cherry on top, too. Wasn't expecting him to be a deluxe, but I guess they gotta make up their money somewhere.
Opened up the Shriek Hawk pack last night too, and they're really nice. Great to have a little splash of (non-blue) color for the Mando shelf. I always love it when Mandalorians add a little zest to their armor; I loved the skirt on the other Shriek Hawk, and I love the little scarf thing on the female. I thought that the male Shriek Hawk's little antannae had snapped off, but I'm glad that wasn't the case. I didn't realize there even were shorter ones; I guess I'm just so used to all the Mando helmets having one. Bring on more colorful Mandos, please!
What an expensive, yet lovely, time to be a collector!

I just finished my custom Clone Wars Plo Koon today, and make a custom Saesee a couple months ago. I'd still be down for replacements and additional Jedi. Where'd you hear about Kit?
I opened my Destroyers today. Damn they have alot of moving parts. Like, I'm finding new joints all the time. The heads were a little loose on both of them, probably so the peg wouldn't break since it's super thin. But I tightend them a bit. I can get them into something similar to the ball pose, but it's not perfect. And they really don't roll lol. But they look really good, and they function really well. These are amazing figures. Now I gotta figure out where they're gonna go lol.
I preordered Savage. I'm wondering when the Amazon? Jedi figures are going to go up for order. I'm ecstatic for them. Especially Shaak Ti. She was always one of my faves after the Tartakovsky CW show aired. Such a badass. And that TFU design was also really cool.
@trunks3540 Word on the street is that they're going up for pre-order tomorrow at 1pm ET
@red_ogre Well now I feel silly. YakFace posted on their Instagram the other day showing parts for Kit, 501st, Peridea Ezra, but now that I re-read it, I don't see anything mentioned about CW. Could've sworn I did, but maybe I was just seeing what I want to see. The skirt piece appears to be his, but that would imply not the shirtless Kit that I thought, but either a ROTS re-release/re-do or a Clones of the Republic Pack (which could have his CW armor, I suppose). Folks in the comments seem to think it may be at least a new headsculpt/head tendrils, at least.
Would love to see your customs, though!
