Glad to see Aphra & the Murder-bots making their way to the Black series!
Looks like Aphra is on the Jaina Solo body w/ new arms & head. Pretty ingenious re-use, with the new paintjob it took me a moment to realize. |

I have no idea who Aphra is, but did Jaina Solo ever hit stores?

I can't even say how excited I am for 6" Aphra and the droids, I wasn't sure we would see them in 6" at all let alone this soon. They look amazing too.

I love the Crait version of Skywalker. I can't stand TLJ, but the Crait duel sequence was visually impressive and I think the figure will fit in well with pre-Disney Expanded Universe figures. It'll be definite buy for me and the first Star Wars 3.75" figure I'll have bought in the best part of a decade.

Welcome back to 3.75! Other former 6 inch collectors like myself have returned to 3.75. For all the rest of you overwhelmed with 6 inch figures, we 3.75 collectors, have kept the light on for ya.

^ Speaking of 3.75, its said Top Gun is like Star Wars, yet in our very own skies. "Elite Force" toys is returning to retail with some descent 3.75 product. Top Gun the Sequel is now filming and hopefully more collectors will return to 3.75 figures,

Here's some cool stuff. Though its not Robotech's Jolly Rogers squad, this equally cool Blue Blasters Squadron, appears to be in the new Top Gun sequel. This squad uses the same F/A-18C jet modeled and used by Blue Box International's "Elite Force" toyline (a brand back at retail in your local Tar-zhay stores).
Walmart too hopes to expand their toylines with "Only at Walmart" exclusives. Perhaps its blue branded stores, can team up with Blue Box Toys, and the "Blue Blasters" squadron. And thus release this easy to make "blue" repaint in time for the new Top Gun sequel. |

Exactly. After nearly a year of watching Jediholics Anonymous Luke warm on the shelf, this was the version I wanted. Aphra looks great as well. Black Series just keeps making things that I shouldn't even desire, but wany anyway. Which makes me wonder why GI Joe gets no lovin' like this.

I'm really surprised too, after the 3 3/4" set, I figured that'd be it. I might even be a little annoyed if I had bought that knowing 2 months later they'd reveal the 6" versions.

That Luke looks fantastic! Literally every black series reveal is a definite buy. Aphra and her droids a definitely a surprise. Even the trooper looks badass

Aphra is a very welcome surprise.
Another Stormtrooper Luke, this time with wet hair, when there are still so many great characters to do. Bit of a head scratcher. |

It says he's Target exclusive so at least he won't take up space in a regular wave.

That's Stormtrooper Luke is the best Hasbro Luke I've ever seen as far as head sculpt is concerned.
What are the chances that Hasbro will ever release improved versions of older Black Series and Vintage Collection figures, like an ANH-style Han with the updated face-printing they used on the Bespin Han? Last edited by Wonderful Toys; 10-08-2018 at 01:12 PM.. |

Since this has Dogpool, that's what this legends set is for. Though I guess a Bea Arthur playset was too much. |

Lot of love for this Aphra gal lately. Saw a single carded 3.75 inch version the other day at Walmart, and now she already has a Black Series figure coming. Who is she in the scheme of things why suddenly all the hype?
That's a great facesculpt though. I wonder if the hat is removable... |

Now I could be wrong, I haven't actually read her but my understanding is that she is basically Tomb Raider in SW.
