If it helps dissuade you, Gideon spiked to $12 on BBTS, so he's no longer the same bargain as the one sitting in my PoL...
@tenime heh, thanks. And not a massive deal breaker... I was considering a Reva anyway to do a custom that's basically lumiya-as-an-inquisitor. Switching parts around wouldn't be awful....
Reva's thighs are for Baylan and Gideon's for Shin?
I just pre ordered the Darth Vader Hologram figure that's Amazon Exclusive, because no matter what, I want Vader and the Emperor (which is apparently coming.)
But these Hologram figures seem to be $27.99
So, why is the Target Darth Maul Hologram figure $34.99? Did Target screw that up, or what?
Happy to finally see the Imperial Supercommando in the pipeline. But where is armored Gideon?!Â
Trailer for Acolyte looked cool. But I want to see more about the villains before I invest in the heroes.Â
But where is armored Gideon?!Â
The same reason there's no Bail Organa yet- he got all burnt up in that fire, so there was nothing for Hasbro to 3D scan, I'm afraid.

So I think I'm gonna buy another Gideon figure and use his legs on Shin, cause I saw what that swap looked like and I like it better then the Koska one. Plus, extra dark saber. I need one for Maul. I only have 3. 1 for Bo Katan, 1 for Din, and 1 for Pre. And now that I think about it, my Gideon doesn't have one cause Bo Katan took it from him lol. So I need another another dark saber. But yknow, I'll figure that out later.
I'm also debating on getting Reva to fix Baylen, and that would be 4 extra red blades and some saber hilts. But I honestly don't think Baylen needs fixed that much. And how you have to twist the legs around to make it work bugs me a little. I know you can't see it with the skirt. But I will absolutely know every time I look at the figure whats under there. I'm also probably gonna shorten his saber blade. I really hope it's the orange versions. They'll both be here sometime this week coming up, and if it is the orange blades, then I'll buy the figures for the swaps. If it's the red blades, I think I'm gonna leave them in package and wait for a sale or discount to order a second set and try to get orange blades, or maybe just wait for fixed versions, and keep the red blades moc for collector value and such. I remember the figures from PotF2 that were wrong are kinda sought after now. Like brown vest RotJ Luke and the longer lightsaber versions of Vader, Obi Wan, and ANH Luke. All of which I have, but being I got them back when I was a kid, I opened them and played with them constantly. So they're not really worth anything, and they're buried in a bin with all my other small ones.
I do plan on fixing my Shin and Baylan some time (it seems so easy even I couldn't screw it up) I just gotta wait for Reva and Gideon to drop in price. Even the secondhand store that buys and sells stuff near me, which has like 6 or 7 Revas, all have them for 15-20. If only I could time travel to when I saw Credit Collection Gideon on sale everywhere for like $2 and snag one. Ah, well. I'm sorta like you, Trunks, in that part of me will always know what's under each of their skirts (sounds so weird to say), but the other part of me will just be happy to have a correct looking display. As of yet, I don't have the room to pose them in anything but vanilla poses anyway, so I'd never see the wrong parts. Maybe with time I could forget about them.
Part of me knows that they'll re-do Baylan when he's (more than likely) recast anyway, but Ray Stevenson deserves the correct Black Series treatment, dangit.
For those looking to replace his saber, I can't remember where I discovered it (Landspeeder Luke's channel, I think), but I discovered Cubic3DPrints on Etsy- they have a lot of custom blades and hilts, including shortened ones for Baylan. Got some cool looking holocrons as well. Along with Baylan, I'm thinking of ordering a yellow blade for Plo, maybe one for Cal as well, since that's my preferred color for him, and maybe a holocron or 2.
I doubt they will but I'd wish they'd rerelease Jesse and Fives. These exclusives suck sometimes.
They suck most of the time honestly. I'll double check but I might have an extra of at least one of those.
I do have an extra (or two 😬 ) Jesse figures. Let me know if you're interested.

I received the Clones of the Republic set yesterday from Pulse. Hopefully this 187th Clone Trooper will be reissued again but in a set maybe with a 187th Clone Officer. The box has a Number 1 on the side so I guess more of these sets are on the horizon.
I hope they release that Purple 187th clone as a single as well jayjonah. I love that technically non-Canon, Purple version, and I want to army build it. But I don't need or want 10 Mace Windus to do it lol.
The set is great though. Mace looks fantastic as does the clone. I got mine yesterday in the mail, and immediately felt I needed more of the purple clone trooper. At least 3.
But there are definitely more Clones of the Republic Packs coming.
The Target 501st set, and the Yoda and Commander Gree set. But there are supposed to be even more beyond those.
Received Padme today from Amazon.
Nothing amazing, but nicely done. I know there have been concerns with the hairline, but mine seems to look fine. Happy to have her and will welcome any and all of her costumes.
@supercamel-1982 that triggered a cool memory for me, walking into a target several years ago and grabbing two sets of the Mace with... Two or three purple clones with the commander figure. And I didn't even make great money back then yet still didn't care about having an extra Windu I didn't need. Now I'd be desperate to unload that guy to offset the cost.

There's a store on etsy I use called ReplacementSabers. Theirs are all 3d printed as well, but the blades are, no offense to him, trash. The print process doesn't work well with the way saber blades should look. They look like if minecraft did lightsabers. And they break easy. But the hilts are really nice, so I buy them for those, and use my own acrylic rods I bought for new blades. They look identical to what Hasbro is using now, and close to what they used before. But also break easy if you try to make a thin peg. They just don't make orange or purple. Only red, yellow, green, and blue. But the blue looks almost like a different shade of purple. So I used it for Revan and some customs, and gives them a uniqueness to their colors. The green ones are also little lighter, but not overly so. It makes for some nice variation. But the ones on the store you mentioned do look nice. Do the blades match what Hasbro uses or are they blocky and choppy? And are there special designs for certain hilts or are they all kind of universal?
