TVC Dooku is all that's any great interest to me...and I still won't pay $17 for it.

What's the point of making Enoch and the troopers online exclusive? Some sort of guaranteeing army builders pay full price for every trooper?

Yeah, you're right. Hasbro released the stream on their YouTube channel later that day and they confirmed the plug is compatible with flight stands. Cool.

Why would Disney care either way, unless it's a cost issue?

IIRC, they said it was an aesthetics issue; Disney thinks the double joints are ugly and don't want them whenever possible. Marvel Legends seems to be one of the few exceptions and even that might just be grandfathered in.

Haven't the Marvel Selects dropped double knees for new sculpts? I think their Rocketeer is the same.

You know, Disney having people that apparently aren't into toys decreeing what their toy output should be makes a whole lotta sense....

Isn't it less Disney overall and more specifically the Lucasfilm brand team at Disney (thus why Marvel Legends is still the same except for going pinless)? That's what I remember them saying, at least.

That'd make a fair amount of sense. Disney has traditionally had an excellent grasp on merchandising itself, so things being so consistently mucked up by an isolated team of nobodies instead of Disney proper sounds right.

I never heard of Hallows’ Eve before, but she has an interesting design (I thought it might be a female Hobgoblin for a sec) and her powers sound rather unique with the masks and all. Might have to pick her when she's released.
