Stream was a bit of a letdown for Black Series, but that's nothing new. 🤣 At least it was a pretty quiet start to the year. I'm sure the money drainers will come as the year goes on.

Nice to see Thrawn, but that release window is a headscratcher for sure. I wouldn't be surprised to see him show up a little early, though, like some of the other recent waves. He does look good, though. Hope he comes alongside Ezra, Enoch, and Ahsoka the White in the wave.

Got really excited when they said a "Jedi Survivor 3 Pack", but I should've known it would just be an army builder. Still, I really like the colors on the Bedlam Raiders droids, so I may pick this up, especially if they can fix the Magnaguard a bit before then. At least Survivor is still on their radar, so you never know about the missing characters.

Droideka looks great in person. Bummer there's no shield, but I don't know if I ever really thought that was a possibility. I'm sure customizers will make one in no time though.

As for the pipeline, the only one that really interests me is the Night Owl, but the WalMart exclusivity has me rolling my eyes.

Still no word, not even a whisper, on Ki Adi Mundi. Maybe he's hanging out with Ahsoka and Sabine in a neighboring galaxy. I'm sure he'll show up eventually. Maybe. Hopefully. We can dream.

Thank you for the summary! I totally forgot about it this morning but maybe my subconscious knew.

No Ki-Adi-Mundi or Mamaw Nadon today. Those are two I'm really looking forward to.ย  I'll take a Destroyer Droid though.ย  The Phase 1 Clone is nice. I feel like I have it though because of the Phase 2. I'm undecided on that one.ย 

ย 

The pipeline reveals weren't really doing it for me, maybe seeing the figures would. And I'll stick to the non-live action Thrawn we already have.ย

It should be, right?

A deluxe with both helmets would probably sell way too well.

I can't believe still no Ki Adi Mundi.ย  Thats the one I want the most at this point.ย  And I think he is part of the Wave with the Phase I Clone.ย  I also can't believe they keep doing Jedi: Fallen Order/Survivor packs and figures, and still no 9th Sister.

Still, fun reveals.ย  I will get multiple Clones, Super Battle Droids, and Droidekas.ย  And probably everything else shown except that jedi: Fallen Order droid pack.

Sorry, I have not seen pictures of Ahsoka Thrawn. Was he shown or just mentioned? Also did Ahsoka the White get a pipeline, or was that for TVC? Most of the toy outlets I follow have not been reporting on everything, so I had to go to multiple places to see what was announced and now i'm confused lol.ย 

ย 

I am excited for more Mandalorians though, in either scale, though TBS is preferred. And Grogu with IG11 is a great idea! Overall exciting announcements from what I have seen, I will be preordering a bit when they hit BBTS.ย

Normally I'd be a little underwhelmed by what they revealed, but really don't mind a short lull. I'm sure they'll pick things up later in the year but my wallet is feeling battered at the moment, so a couple of months to catch up isn't a terrible thing. (I do wish we'd get some news on Ki Adi Mundi soon though.)ย

@docsilence I feel the same way. It would be cool to see more I'm into, but I have other things to spend money on.

I got the newer Dr. Aphra from Gamestop yesterday. She's cool and all, especially since I like the body she's on. But she's just the old Aphra figure with some new bits and pieces, like the coat. She even still has a lightsaber hook on her belt lol. I don't think she's really any better then the old one. But she's still nice.

I also saw the Archive wave with Dengar and Old Man Han at Ollie's. I still couldn't bring myself to buy that 3P0, even on the cheap. He was just so... not great. Han looked good, but I have the old one. Not sure I care enough to upgrade. I also find it funny Dengar used to go for a bit on the aftermarket and now you can find the repack at discount stores.ย

Apparently Patrick has left the Star Wars team and is moving to Nerf? That's a bummer, and only partly ironically. Or mostly. Not entirely at least.

Steve Evans is apparently taking over. I genuinely hope this means good things for the future of Black Series.
