Yeah Im good with this. Maul is something I've wanted forever. Alternate hands could have been nice but it doesn't surprise me. Still don't like those Luke legs but oh well. I'd love a proper Dark Empire luke with the Vader like suit. But I'll support efforts for some EU love. Give me some Star Wars Legacy dammit.

Seriously, they couldn't be bothered to do a quick Google search about the Royal Guard they're making a figure of? Although to be fair, from the reaction I've seen online most collectors don't realize it either. Which makes me sad on another level entirely, Crimson Empire is so good. I wonder if this gets fixed before release. I don't think so, but hey: Maybe we'll get a Kenner throwback! A "Kir Kanos"-sticker on every box Or his belt. But this is clearly just an uninspired mold reuse, much like the Luke figure. |

Straight up royal guard body with no retooling to look at all like the comic design or colors... check!! /facepalm Makes me scared of what other EU figures might be. |

Nihilus was also an instance of them super cheaping out. He was almost entirely just built on the Maul body which is wrong for a number of reasons, chief among them it makes him quite short.

But not going all the way, neither in paint nor tooling the extra parts necessary and of course slapping the wrong name and bio on the box is just disappointing. |

Well this is embarrassing... it looks like Hasbro is pushing forward with the wrong packaging for Kir Kanos.

You should be grateful you're getting any at all. First off, shocking almost no one, the people working on Star Wars don't have a clue about Star Wars.
Secondly, this is an odd wave of figures considering I'm repeatedly told how popular the Sequel Trilogy and The Mandalorian are and only despised by a select portion of the population. You want more EU figures? Suck up your nerd pride and preorder them. Hopefully the'll do better next time. At the end of the day Hasbro is going to make things that sell. |

"You should be grateful for a mediocre product"
Nope. Quote:

And I am well aware how niche the old EU Star Wars stuff is. That doesn't give Hasbro a free pass for half-assing their stuff though. Quote:
I as the customer am not at fault if Hasbro wants to do marketing study with bad products. If Hasbro wants to blame me should these not sell well, let them, I won’t buy a figure I don’t like just to send a message. |

What's with linking to The Chosen Prime for these figures? They seem like a straight up scalping website and they don't even have these figures available.

Wait, are you trying to argue The Mandalorian isn't actually popular because Hasbro is currently making figures of EU characters for this small batch of releases? When they've already made multiple figures for the show in the recent past and will almost certainly continue doing so?

Based on this one post you seem to be either not a fan of Star Wars, or someone who is a fan of Star Wars but you gets his enjoyment by disparaging the franchise. In that case it's time for a new hobby. Quote:

The only people who at least know what Star Wars is so far to me are the ones writing the Mandalorian, until Gina was fired, so the future of the show is uncertain. And the sequel trilogy is popular for the wrong reasons, you know your movie and your trilogy sucks when there's barely any toys for the ninth movie and your star and her co-stars are peg-warming for a long time.

I suppose it's possible that Rey sat on the shelves in your area. Unlikely, but possible. |

And Rey, Finn, Rose Tico are peg-warming past episode 7 and beyond and that's from visiting 2 countries. How is that unlikely to you? What a joke. |

Mandalorian stuff damn near flies off shelves in my area, the offworld Jawa is the only one I've seen linger for a while.

It also just seems unlikely because it's cool to hate on Star Wars these days and I have seen people in my own area claims that toys that had been hard to find for weeks were pegwarming. So maybe your case is true. No offense intended. |

Well at least they admitted it. Just add a quick Wookieepedia search to the list when you’re "refining your process" Hasbro.
