Some things we missed the last couple days. If you find anything over the next week or so, feel free to share with us because super internet robot Joe Moore is enjoying some personal time and I suck at keeping track of stuff

Oh yay...it's not like unmasked Kylo, Finn, and Rey aren't pegwarming as it is.
More and more...it feels like Hasbro is cannibalizing it's own 6" Black Series line to kill it off. |

I am all over those Finn in the F.O. kit. If, and I am pretty sure they will, make them in my beloved 3.75" scale I will take at least four of them. Simple head swap and I have a crew for Hux to look all bad ass.

Am I... am I crazy, or do those Star Wars figures look like they're 3-3/4" to anyone else? The detailing on them and their packaging gives me the impression that these aren't 6" figures.
Kinda tempted by the Godzilla. Not a huge fan of the sculpt, but I like the paintwork and effect piece.

^^^^
They have a hinged wrist AND more than one accessory, definitely not 3.75" I don't know about the packaging, but as a rule of thumb- if they have any articulation above the bare minimum (or any at all if compared to the non Black Series cinematic line) then chances are they a 6" figure.

While Hasbro's softgoods have been lacking, I do kinda wish they had made more of Luke's outfit out of fabric. As-is it doesn't look like there'll be any point in trying to pose his legs.

Now that I'm looking at them on an actual computer screen, they do look more like 6" figures, but for 6" figures their sculpting kinda... sucks. Fin is the only one that really looks like the actor to me.

Can't believe they are charging what they ar charging for the sdcc pack of those Luke and Rey. They look soooooo cheap...
Even if I have the chance at hts, I won't get them. |

They've almost always had severe issues handling human faces with the black series, typically from an apparent unwillingness to actually paint said faces instead leaving them with that weird plastic sheen. There have been a few lately like Lando that came out rather well but these new ones appear to follow old practice. I would actually be interested in the new Kylo Ren if he came with a removable helmet or an alternate masked head but if it's just unmasked then I'll most likely pass.
