I got Ki Adi Mundi today.  And it was everything I hoped it would be.  The figure, the details, the lightsaber hilt, just everything was a win.  And man, Ki Adi is tall! Especially due to the extra height of his big alien head.

I put him standing next to my new Inquisitor Cal Kestis, and Ki Adi towers him.

But this is such a perfectly executed figure, and I'm so happy to get another Prequels Jedi.  Hopefully there are more to come.

The email from Pulse announcing 0-0-0 & BT came while I was in a meeting. Naturally, they were both sold out on Pulse and BBTS by the time I was able to see it.

Very confused why IG-88 is not listed in any of the rumored re-release lists. Very Disappointing...

Maybe a newer, better version is coming?

@andru Hope a new one is in the works. The figure we have is terrible. Undersized, and falls over if you look at it.

We do know there's the IG-12 that's coming with Grogu and the Anzellan. No word yet on if it's new, but a lot of folks think it'll be a new tooling and pushed to a deluxe. Would be disappointing if true, but could make for pretty easy IG-88 custom.

Hope so.  iG-88 is the last of the Bounty Hunters I’m missing.  Read all the negative reviews of problems with the original figure, and hadn’t pulled the trigger.  Been using a IG-11 as a stand in.

The figure isn't terrible. It looks nice. It just, doesn't stand well. You have to use a stand for him. The smallest vibration or breeze will knock him over. I also removed the rubber things on his elbows. Gives him better rom. And one of his guns is undersized. But again, he looks nice.

I also have my IG-88 raised on a stand but I have 4LOM and Zuckuss in front of him so.... I'll probably be fine with that figure. I'll never pose him beyond what he did in ESB, heh.

Black Series IG-88 looks ok aesthetically, but he is totally under scaled and just looks completely off next to the other hunters in my eyes.   I've been hoping for a redo, or for Medicom or Bandai to crank one out.  Both of those companies did a fantastic job on IG-11.

IG-88's size and lack of hip motion were massive disappointments. If they could completely redo him and give him even better articulation than the already decently-articulated foreign IG-11s I'd be ecstatic.

I didn't realize the not standing was such a widespread issue with IG-88. I was using him as a stand-in for 11 and he knocked my shelf over at least three times. Now he is shoved in an ESB corner where he belongs.

Ki-Adi not being available anywhere makes me sad. Haven't seen him listed at all on GameStop or Amazon, and yet Pulse keeps sending me emails about him and he's not in stock.

Ki-Adi is in stock at Nerdzoic but you have to pay for shipping. https://nerdzoic.com/collections/star-wars-1/products/star-wars-black-series-ki-adi-mundi

 

You can pre-order from Pulse to be in-stock on 12 June if you don't want to pay for shipping.

Yeah, there's a few figures now that I've not gotten because they weren't available on Amazon. Nothing against BBTS and EE, but I don't buy enough to make the loot work for me, nor do I buy enough to ever get free shipping. I'm not particularly pro-Amazon, but they're real easy and, so far, reliable with preorders. Cancelling is easy peezy as well.

Anyone else completely forget preordering the clone and battle droid two pack? I probably didn't need it, not really army building anymore, but nice set all things considering and the funny thing is it uses the older cheap, smaller, all-cardboard box style Pulse used for army builders for a while. Wish they did that more for figures that are online only - no need for fancy packaging for troop builders I can't get in a store anyway.

@docsilence I got an alert about this post and saw it without seeing who it was... and I'm sorry, but I knew it was you. We are probably one more unnecessary pre-order from an intervention, my friend.
