I honestly hope Hasbro does the nightsisters. I would love Claudia Black in my room. And a figure of her would be cool too.Β 

Hey-Oh! Β Send the kids out of the room. 😆Β

Free Amaiza!

Even with slowing down, I'd be very tempted if they do all three of the night sisters.

@ru1977Β  Β Man, getting the 3 Nightsisters would be awesome.Β  I wish they'd do them and Mother Talzin.Β Β 

There is a lot of Nightsister stuff I'd want actually.

The 3 Nightsisters from Ahsoka
Morgan Elsbeth all Nightsistered up
Mother Talzin
Merrin from Fallen Order/Survivor

@supercamel-1982 If I could get only one nightsister, it would be Merrin.

Amazon shipped my Tusken Chief. I was really tempted to cancel last weekend but... if they do the warrior, I'll really want him to go with her.

Man, reading different things about Hasbro today, I came across a couple things that aren't great.

One, which is just a rumor, but the prices of mainline Black Series figures may go up to $27.99 or $29.99

Second, and this one is more confirmed by Hasbro's CFO in an article on Wall Street Journal.Β  But they are looking to cut costs in the manufacturing process, as they look for people who can make their products at a cheaper cost.

So, it sounds like we may get less quality figures, but at a higher price.

That sounds awesome!!! No, I mean awful! Apparently I don't want slowing down enough. Waiting for Black Friday will no longer be a luxury but necessity heh

@supercamel-1982 Just shaking my head.Β  It really is a slow death with Hasbro for me.Β  Their decisions are forcing me to buy less each year.Β  Who can afford all of this anymore?

Β IfΒ  I recall that quote was specifically in reference to Games and NERF. They wanted to look into thinner plastics, and the like. They also said this: "Hasbro is also analyzing whether those ideas would harm the quality of its products. β€œIf the answer is no, we’re making the change,” she said.

Β 

I certainly hope collector oriented lines will not be affected negatively, but it does sound like they will be looking at just about everything and making some changes. They have a new CFO that will help make some tough decisions. I expect they will drop a lot of fluff lines, and stick to more core products. That's how she helpedΒ  Harley Davidson at least. Someone on another forum I visit was familiar with her work at Harley.

The lack of Nightsister rep definitely doesn't sit right with me. I know we have Asajj, but we need more. Hopefully if they do ever give us the Nightsisters/Nightmothers from Ahsoka, they could finnagle a Mother Talzin from the parts. Or vice versa, really. Heck, it wouldn't be show accurate, but if they just gave us a single figure of the 3 from Ahsoka with swappable heads, I could make that work. JustΒ something, Hasbro!

And Merrin too. I'd take either of her looks at this point, I just need more Mantis crew members. I love Cal, don't get me wrong, but I'd happily trade one or two of his variants for another crew member.

Would love a "redeemed" Asajj as well. That one at least feelsΒ slightly possible, but we'll see.

And NightMorgan would be a super easy redo for Hasbro. I'm half surprised she's not already been announced, but I guess we'll see.

Anybody know where I can find a 3D printed head for Plo Koon?

@red_ogre I thought that would be relatively easy to find, but no.

I just bought Plo Koon! Had no need for him, ever, until this week. His face is great!

He and Fisto and Slave Leia (both TBS and a loose Unleashed version I snagged so I have options!) and Starkiller and Jabba all just arrived! My shelves are gonna look so good when I have time! πŸ™‚

Still hoping for a new Clone Wars Plo in the new Clones of the Republic 2 packs. Plo is my favorite Jedi, and I love his existing figure, but I've always wanted him in the clone armor. Seems like an easy enough kitbash- I've seen plenty out there, expect for the fact that Plo always goes for a lot online. He seems like the most logical next release in the line, especially considering how much people love the Wolffe Pack as well. Could do Sinker or Boost from the Rising Malevolence episode that people love.

Sinker, Boost, Comet, and generic Wolffe Pack troopers are all available from AliExpress. They look great.
