Well, I got Huyang and Marrok. Feel good and nice that it was easy.

@asm Yeah, you're probably right. Plus I don't remember seeing close ups on his helmet previous to last nights episode.  Those shots of him in the cockpit, I think that was where I really picked up on it.

 

Really cool armor by the way, Im digging it more and more every time I see it - It kinda has a medieval feel to it, which I love!

Marrok looks cool af. But Ezras face still looks weird. I preordered him anyway, but for now he's my least anticipated.

Pre-ordered all but Chopper. Looking forward to Morgan, but I'll definitely be giving her either a Marvel Legends energy effect, or waiting until someone makes a custom hand for her. For the assassin droid, I'll definitely be looking to do something with the visor- not sure if it'll be sharpie, paint, or what, but it looks pretty incomplete without that little bit of black to break up the red.

 

Really excited for Marrok, especially after

hearing him speak
, but I do feel, much like the Showbi-Wan Inquisitors, he won't quite feel complete until Baylon and Shin get released.

 

I'm really loving Huyang in the show as well. For some reason, I really don't remember him much from the animated shows, but he's been a real standout in Ahsoka. Especially with his backpack, I'm sure we'll be able to get some cool poses out of him.

 

Really excited for the Ahsoka figs. Still hate that the show will be over by the time they're out, but at least it seems like they're not too far off, unlike most of the Kenobi figs.

I recently got the Fourth Sister because Amazon had her on sale. I always liked her design but never felt like getting any of the other Inquisitors, so I just got none. But I really like her and am glad I have her, and somehow I've broken out of my 'if I have that, I need those' mentality for once. It feels like a new world. Marrok will go with her. And probably Baylon and Shin but more because I like the characters than any completism.

I ended up pre ordering all the Black series figures today.  Except Chopper, as I already have him.  But I am loving this Ahsoka show and can't wait to get all these figures from the Series.  I really want Baylon Skoll (which it looks like he is coming) and Shin Hati (which I'm sure we will get).

Baylon and Shin have quickly become two of my favorite characters.

I was glad in the pipeline reveals it was more Prequel and Original Trilogy stuff.  The more PT and OT figures the better.

I've never disliked the helmets but honestly I almost always buy two of a character with a swappable head / helmet look in the Legends line, so if SWBS were to change to swappable heads they'd probably get even more money out of me. (For some reason even I don't understand I like the helmet off/displayed beside the figure if it's removeable, but I don't like the wear and tear of popping a head off repeatedly so if it's affordable I get a backup if I can.) Only time I ever got a backup was Hunter because I suspected I'd be pulling hte helmet off and on so often I'd damage the paint. 

I'm loving the love for Marrok because it feels like such a Star Wars thing to do - we do love our masked mystery men with yet-unrevealed backstories or purposes, don't we. I could see a Book of Marrok series ten years from now 🙂 All joking aside, he was the second figure I preordered today after Huyang, so I'm in. 

Ready to see them reveal Baylon. I need a Ray action figure in my collection STAT.

Loving the Ahsoka show so far!

 

Marrok looks awesome. Preordered him immediately! His helmet looks like the German Maximilian-style knight armor, which is one of my personal favorites.

That's the exact same vibes I get from Marrok - I dig it too!

According to YakFace, the Wal-Mart Bad Batch Clone Commando is starting to ship out.

 

Went to check my order; I got all of them- the Batch, Commando, and Fives all in the same order. It says "preparing" on all but Wrecker, who's still labeled as "placed" and was moved onto a separate line than the rest. But as of right now, the order still says arriving by Thursday, September 7th. Fingers crossed!

Hrmmm...  My Hunter still shows as "Placed".    I had wanted the first version of Hunter but missed him and the secondary market on him is straight up insane.    So this version will have to do, so I really hope I don't get "WalMart-ed" on this order.

I got my Season 2 Bad Batch from Star Action Figures and they're great. I wish Wrecker came with a Tooka cat doll, but I got a custom one from John Walker Customs, so it's all good. My season 1 Bad Batch team is now safely in storage since I much prefer the season 2 looks. 

 

Now bring on Omeega!

If these are shipping soon I hope that means some will go back up, after my Fives got cancelled for no reason I have been stalking the Walmart app to re-preorder him. At least I still have Hunter on pre order.
