Was really hoping we would get an all-new E3 Anakin from both OWK and now Ahsoka since he plays so heavily in both - bonus for a new headsculpt to go on the already-tooled TCW body done as a Target exclusive a couple years back.

So glad I was patient with the Cobb Vanth/Cad Bane set at Target. Scored it for half off, and I'm generally pleased with the set. Full price would have left a bad taste in my mouth. Cobb is pretty bare bones, but looks good. Compared with the previous figure with Fett's armor, I like this one because it's a more general look. Cad is ok. He's so BROWN. Like, I don't think there are any real painted details. He's just brown, plus his blue skin. Not a bad figure. I don't display blast effects, so no benefit there. But the price finally worked.

I got the Cad Bane / Cob Vanth two pack, one because it was on sale, and one because I really love Cob Vanth and Timothy Olyphant. I wish I could have had the single release Cad Bane because I like that expression better, but I am glad with this one and it is good enough for me to cancel my single release Cad Bane preorder. 

This set is really making me want to re-watch Boob of Boba Fett. 😀 

Lol I’ve been looking for the Cobb from the two pack since I prefer that one to the single release which I already have. Man I miss the trading forum. 

Got Darth Malgus in today.  Has anyone figured out a semi-easy way to remove his breathing mask?  Or did they just design it to be turned around backwards knowing that it would be hidden by the hood?

He's the best Black Series figure I've gotten this year.  Maybe last year too, I'd have to think about it.

Malgus is my favourite of the year too. And I only semi cared for his character. Loved him in Deceived (though I wish there were other characters from that book in figure form), but never interacted with him in game. Still, an amazing figure.

I'm baffled that they didn't do a new Episode 3 Anakin...The character is in dire need of a better representation than the first one and the archive one... I would love to do that "Is this what it is about" scene with Ahsoka. 

Baylan looks great, but I have a problem with Shin...I remember her being paler in the show, and also I find her facial features to be a bit soft. 

Snagged Bad Batch Season 2 Echo from Walmart's app last night. He was listed around double the original price, but went back down to normal, so I grabbed him. Because I got burned so badly this time, part of me is still expecting him to either not show up or be a swap, but I'll keep thinking positive. If he does show up as intended, then I'll only be missing Hunter and Fives. YakFace posted on Instagram that shipper displays are starting to hit Wal-Marts with the figures, so hopefully it'll be easier to start finding these in store. I don't have any Wal-Marts near me, unfortunately, but I ain't afraid to rope a few family members into my schemes. 🤣 

Hunter is in stock now!

Yep, decided to check the app on a whim and noticed Hunter was in stock. Can't remember the last time my fingers moved so fast! 🤣 He and Echo should be here Saturday, so hopefully all works out and I'll only need to track down Fives!

Got the new Holiday Mando from Amazon. Wasn't expecting him so soon! I like him a lot- he's much easier to blend into the display than the previous holiday Mando; if you paint over his sweater, he'd fit in pretty well with Bo and her crew. Nice to give Babu a buddy as well- there's nothing super holiday-ish about him, so he can join the display year round!

I love the holiday designs this year, and love that they've kept them going this long. I do wish we got another round, or at the very least, a re-release of the Halloween figures from last year. Still haven't managed to track down a Skeleton Trooper. I'm sure there aren't quite as many Halloween-ish figure ideas, but at least a Pumpkin Trooper or something. Yoda as a gremlin? R2 with a trick-or-treat bucket or something?

Sabine, HK-87, and Ezra all got added to my POL, so I shipped it this morning and it is on it's way. My main want is for it to be here before Ahsoka ends. The older HK-87 was at Walmart last I checked, so I may go grab that one too when I get paid next week. 

Saw that Fives was back in stock for store pick-up or delivery. Placed an order for both, just in case, and alas, both were canceled. Oh, Wal-Mart. How you play with my heart.

Had a spot of luck last night and found Morgan Elsbeth at GameStop. Wasn't showing up as in-stock for store pickup, but I popped in anyway, and lo and behold! The only one from the new wave on the shelf. Great likeness, but definitely in need of some oomph. Gonna try and give her a Marvel Legends hand- maybe MCU Scarlett Witch? And maybe one of the green swirly effects from Classic Loki.

I already got the Force Unleashed three pack from Pulse. Haven't had time to unbox them yet but that shipped FAST.
