@jakeekiss I'm sure. It would have been nice to be another army builder. Hell, do Lando on the same body! It would sell out for all the people that wanna have several helmeted guards.

They’re saving Lando for a two pack with Constable Zuvio. 😛 

Free Amaiza!

Followed by a Holdo/Rose 2pk 🙂

Another Leia Boussh is SUCH an FU from Hasbro. The figure is still available!!! NO ONE needs another one. And yet, they'll publicly frisk their customer base with a move that will only cost them sales and customers.

Her new head does look good - but that does not justify this fleecing. Just a gross move.

Her head looks like one of the best they’ve done yet for Leia… is there anything else new on the figure? I thought the existing figure had pins but they could be photoshopped out? 

I received the rest of the Skeleton Crew from EE today. I also received a shipping soon email from Pulse for the Yoda/Commander Gree 2-pack.

I am rarely actively resentful about these figures but seriously, that last Leia in disguise was so easy to get and a really great figure. We didn't need another one this soon. And Luke's a must-get. Thematically if we hadn't had Boushh Leia in a while it's a super logical, fun combo with the twins, but just silly at this point in time. 

I caved and picked up the rest of the Skeleton Crew. Much like the Joes line is doing better animal figures than any other mainstream toy line, Star Wars Black Series is really getting figures of young characters (or tiny ones, like Ewoks) really well. Nice articulation, great likenesses. I probably could've waited for a sale but it's nice to have the figures in-hand as the series is airing, we get that so rarely. 

I've really cut down on Star Wars, so they probably couldn't have paired Luke with anyone* that would have gotten me to buy the set, but I still feel for you guys big time. Especially because that guard armor looks AWESOME. It's almost tempting just because it's a Coruscant Guard with lots of articulation! The silver stripe on the helmet was really striking too. Just a nice looking figure.

*Okay. I thought of one, Boba Fett. Especially if it was a PP2 figure. (which... I think works? I think some SOTE art used PP2 designs?) I wouldn't have hesitated.

I would have been all:

@ru1977 Y'know what I hope? I hope they do a 6" version of the swoop bike and rider from Shadows of the Empire. I loved that guy. Just a random mercenary goon. 

Seems unlikely as it would probably be too much new tooling and it feels like Star Wars vehicles don't sell super well... but I can dream.

I would love this! I loved that swoop and biker figure back in the day!

I loved the Shadows of the Empire Coruscant Guard Luke back in the day, so this is a must-buy. I can’t even remember if I have Leia in this outfit yet. Maybe I do, but she must be in a box somewhere. 

I pre ordered the Shadows of the Empire 2 pack right when it went up today. And while Boushh disguise Leia is a bit of a letdown, I still had to get this pack. In a perfect world, I would love to have every figure from the POTF2 line in Black Series form.  This set just gets me one step closer.

And like jayjonah, I also got the e-mail saying the Yoda/Gree 2 pack would be shipping soon.

Can't wait to get Yoda and that Council chair.

Watched this week's episode of Skeleton Crew, and I'm still quite enjoying it. I like that KB got a little more fleshing out this week. I quite liked Kh'ymm too; I really dug the mix of practical puppetry and CGI, and she had some fun little quirks. Would be nice to see a Black Series figure of her; I'm sure that, due to the size of the character, it would be another Grogu situation, where either she'd be a pack-in for another character like SM-33 or come with a bunch of accessories to fill out the pack (or at the very least in another creature pack or something), and probably not super articulated either way, but just having her in the display would be nice.

@joshsquash729 I really enjoyed the episode too.  And I loved Kh'ymm and definitely want a figure of her.

I was thinking too, I wish now we could see Kh'ymm's species as a Jedi during some Clone Wars Flashback or something.  I'd love to see a space Hoot-Owl with a Lightsaber.

But the show is really enjoyable, and I'm definitely enjoying the mystery surrounding At Attin.

Picked up Fern and KB at GameStop yesterday. Only missing Wim and Jod. Has anyone found these in big box stores yet? I've only seen them at a single GameStop so far, but I'm going home for the holidays this next week with a lot more options, so hoping to finish the wave then.

I like Fern and KB's figs, even if they're a bit on the lighter side. Fern's got some really nice paint apps on the patches; I don't think I realized it was her school jacket turned inside out until someone pointed it out a few days ago. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention, but it's a cool detail.

I think KB could really benfit from having either a removable visor or swappable visor-less head. I'm sure it would result in a lot of folks losing the visor, but it would be nice to have the option. Granted, I don't know why I'm saying that, since I'd undoubtedly keep the visor on anyway, but I like having the illusion of choice. 😆 I like the blue streak in her hair- again, I don't know if I quite realized she had it, since the show is a bit on the darker side.

This is where a pack-in like Khy'mm could've come in handy, I think- a smaller figure with less accessories (I dig the backpacks, but almost consider the flashlights to be part of the backpack). I get that a lot of the budget went to the new tooling, so I can't fault them for that, but still.

Thanks for answering this question - I couldn't tell if it was but I didn't think so. I'm torn on these guys and The Acolyte figures for one big reason - I like getting whole casts at the same time. I'm definitely not opening any of these until the show is over in case I decide to return, but having all of them is real fun.

Acolyte figures look so nice because the designs are good, but if I turn on my brain to the characters I get less interested. Mae may go on my shelf because she looks really cool, but Osha... ugh.

Target has a nice sale on the Mandalorian Droid set...$22.49 (normally $44.99).

Didn't need it, but couldn't pass up a deal 😊
