Hmmm...  for this year I'm excited about Kelnacca....  Savage Opress and maybe Xizor and that's the list...  hopefully there will be something else that gets me interested

There will be a Hasbro Pulse Live Stream for Star Wars tomorrow at 11:00 AM EST.  It will be interesting to see what they show.

Hopefully Nien Nunb and Lobot, because as ibentmyman-thing said......."what the fuck?"

But we could see some of the figures that have been leaked to be coming.

Dash Rendar
Barriss Offee
ROTS Anakin
ROTS Obi Wan
ROTS Dooku
ROTS Windu
Pong Krell
Jedi Temple Guard
Kanan Jarrus
Hera Syndulla
Moff Gideon in Armor
Moff Gideon Praetorian Guard
or any of the various Clones that have been rumored.

Obviously not all of those, but maybe 3 or 4 of them.

But hopefully we get some pipeline action with some Prequel and Original Trilogy characters

Every so often I forget that we haven't get them yet and then I'm reminded of it and I get absolutely enraged all over again. 

Can I throw a less angry grumpfest that they haven't made Chirpa or Logray when those guys are literally just re-accessorizing two existing figures?

I find the lack of Ewoks disturbing.

Ewoks, Lobot, Nien Nunb, I'm with you guys on all of them. Cantina aliens, Jabba's denizens, the Rebo Band.. It just seems like Black Series is in no rush, or that they really have no interest in the original trilogy anymore. Maybe they won't sell enough? OT is still what interests me most. I feel less and less like I'm the target market anymore.

Anyone else staggeringly underwhelmed by the reveals during the stream today? I know we're in the middle of a prequels anniversary/revival period but I thought we'd at least see one more Shadows of the Empire figure. 

I wonder how OT figures sell. For a long time they seemed to outsell most of the newer stuff. Shocked we haven't seen any of the above beloved characters yet.  I mean I don't mind NOT having two dozen preorders tomorrow but another Rex and Anakin and some battle droids doesn't exactly spike the pulse rate (pun intended).

Yeah, that was very underwhelming.  Just 2 Black Series figures.  The Anakin and Rex figures do look good though.

I'm not too worried about the minimal reveals today.  They mentioned at the beginning that this is the first stream of the year and they're going to try to be more engaged with fans (streams more frequently), so this one might have less to show.

I loved the two reveals. Not surprising, but they looked great!  I will probably pick up both.

I'm still wanting all the OT characters mentioned above, but i'm sure we'll get them sprinkled in.  It actually relieves me that I don't feel the urge to buy everything.  Just the figures I want.  And that means not every reveal will be for me.

Really anyone who ever got an old school Kenner figure I'd buy. I have the same reaction to Star Wars as I do to Classified - punch me in the childhood and I'll drop my wallet. 

I was hoping for more tonight - at least one Shadows reveal at a minimum - but that Anakin really does look lovely. I can't tell how different Rex is this time around. Has anyone taken a look at the comparison to older Rexes? My current favorite is the Bad Batch era, "you can't tell I'm wearing clone trooper armor cos I'm wearing this fancy poncho" Rex but I'm not averse to an upgrade if he's got better articulation and such.

The most obviously difference with Rex is the Phase One helmet, but I don't know if anything else has changed from othr versions.

@ru1977 Thanks. I was pretty happy with the last two Rexes (clean armor and beat to hell) but I could be nudged to buy a new one if the articulation was improved or such. Really hard to tell from the video.

The new Rex looks more Animated-style than the previous one - which means I'll probably swap this one onto that shelf and keep this one elsewhere.

Was this the first time they unveiled a full case of figures at the same time, with the TVC wave? Just unveil wave by wave - not rocket science, or whatever rocket science would be in the SW Galaxy.

I did think this was a bit of an underwhelming stream, and the very out-of-touch jokes about people not getting their Ghosts yet was a bad take.

I'm pretty much done with the Black Series for the time being, All I want to feel closure is Black Series Queen Amidala and a Haslab X-Wing
