I'm still hoping for OT Leia and Han. I could even settle for the mandalorian Luke to go with them as long as the first two were not ANH specific.

We can have a great Mafex figures of OT Leia and Han fo sure. We still don't really have a good Han figure in 6 inch. S.H.Figuarts Han is...fine, but his head sculpt and face are weird.

The only good Black Series Han Solo figure is from Empire Strikes Back. The one from Endor set looks like sunburned alcoholic with a swollen face and ugly neck.

Honestly we need good 6” scale hesdsculpts for all three. The Black series is passable but I know Mafex would kill it.

Since we’re getting Jedi Luke from Mandalorian that can pass for ROTJ for me. I would prefer either Bespin, Hoth or Endor Leia and either Bespin, ANH or Endor Han Solo.

Koji called it, currently eating my skepticism looking at the Bo-Katan Mafex promo pic.

Bad timing considering she just got a slightly updated look on the show. I hope they include it, but I'm not holding my breath.

Her face is solid & it captures her personality in season 2 unlike the weird smirk they gave IW Loki.

That said، her feet are small.

I doubt Mafex will add the recent accessories but I think if Bandai makes her it could be from season 3 with things like the energy shield, her most recent upgrade & possibly the darksaber.

Exciting times.

Bo Katan is going to peg-warm, but Mafex runs are generally smallish so she'll eventually sell out. Puzzling character selection given how hard the Black Series figure peg-warmed, which was my guess after Hasbro announced it. It's easy to list the top 20+ Star Wars characters that would sell out easily, and Bo Katan is nowhere near that top 20. Re-releases of some already-released figures like Darth Vader would easily sell out faster than her.

I'm sure I'll get her because she does look nice, but I feel completely comfortable waiting for reviews to pour in first.

I'm pretty sure that helmet doesn't fit over that head and it's separate, and that side-by-side shot mostly confirms it because her hair seems to be even wider than the helmet using her shoulders to mark width. Wasn't sure after the first shots, but these new ones seem to confirm it.

I forgot to look for that with Mando 2.0, but my guess would be that helmeted head is separate for him as well.

Great looking Bo. S3 updates would be good, but at least hoping things are swappable enough for 3rd party.

I was just thinking that I would love a good 1/12 Bo Katan to go with Mafex Mando and... we have a winner! Really excited about this and just catching up on the rumors... a Ashoka and Luke from Mando would be greatly appreciated! I would also like to see a Moff Gideon. He's my favorite baddie in Star Wars right now.

I’ve been waiting for a SHF or Mafex Bo for aaaaaaages so very happy with this announcement. It is hilarious timing given she’s just had a costume tweak but I prefer her with the matching pads than the new one seen yesterday. I’m more bummed about the lack of a energy buckler but eh, can’t win ‘em all.
