I have a Vader in my collection representing almost every scene he's had on screen. I am Hasbro's ideal customer

Klatoonian Raider, Mando Luke and Cal Kestis are all in my PoL, woohoo! May have to ship earlier than I usually do just for the excitement of new TVC.
Got Cassian and Vel Sartha in mine as well.
All those plus Speeder Bike set. Banner month for TVC!

I didn’t catch this earlier. Definitely looking forward to a TVC battle damaged vader!

I think this explains why the ROTJ Vader head sculpt looks more like Hayden than Sebastion Shaw.

It just looked like a white blob to me. Didn't see a likeness to either Anakin in that unmasked head.

Yeah, I wasn't impressed with ROTJ Vaders head at all to be honest - with AND without the mask. Those big seam lines/gaps in his mask's jawline are ugly as hell to me.

Kenobi Vader remains supreme in my eyes!

Seeing the new Officer Piett has me thinking TVC Thrawn is in the works.

They should mention dumbbell hips or not for every TVC revealed going forward. Definitely trying to stay away from the older junk hips. No idea if the new Han Solo with new tooling from waist up has new hips.

Doubt it, it doesn't have rocker ankles, so I'm guessing that it's old junk from the waist down.

The ROTJ Solo uses the waist and legs from the young TVC Han from the SOLO movie.

Also,I received a Pulse notification for the new Boba Fett’s Starship shipping soon.

I finally did it...I bought the 4 Landos at my local Walmart that have been hanging out there for 18 months, in hopes that they'll restock with something new eventually. My luck is it will be the Obi-Wan wave.

Taking one for the team! I'm sure local collectors appreciate it. For what it's worth, I've seen Lando used for quite a few impressive customs. He also makes a great giveaway for Black History Month.

lol now that would be pretty messed up! Somewhere, theres stockpiles of multiple versions of poor unwanted Lando figures. kinda genuinely curious on what is going to happen to them?


I cracked open the Artillery Trooper last night. He’s quite nice for yet another stormy variant. I love how the grenades snap into his backpack, it works very well.

Got Vel Sartha, Cal Kestis, and the new Cassian Sat from BBTS. I happened to get a JoyToy Iron Wrecker 08 from BBTS' one-day sale alongside them as well, and got the JT pilot's gear onto Vel satisfactorily. It spruces up her figure in all the right ways, imho and she fits too comfortably in the mech cabin. I'm brainstorming ideas to get her more snugly fit in there. Cal is quite nice as is. His forearms feel stubby, but he also feels like a 16yo so maybe his proportions haven't settled yet. I dunno the game he's from and I'm getting him as a nice generic space character, and enjoying him as so. Cassian looks and plays kinda sloppy. He looks Meh on purpose. More nice SW figs like these, plz.
