2022 Holiday Star Wars The Black Series Figures Announced

[OriginalFire]

I don't buy Star Wars anymore but some of these are kinda cool.

[Hasbro]

Awful. Just awful. Of all the repaints they could focus on, they choose to do this.

[T0ySick]

Kinda want the Chewbacca.. though not having a blue painted mask on him is a missed oportuninty. lol

[Galoob]

It may be time for them to officially wrap The Black Series. It feels like it has just devolved into repaints and Mandalorian figures.

Where's Lobot? Wicket? Nien Nunb?

[Zigerlion]

Seriously Star Wars figs in ugly Christmas sweaters? LOL

At least they havent put them in sports themed shit…..yet.

[toymaru]

Hasbro be like -Plastic packaging windows are not environmentally friendly, yet makes these figures as landfills

[Kernel]

I'm not gonna lie chewy looks bad ass like that... it's like he got high on spice one night and had a night with a wampa he regrets and this is what 18 years of intergalactic child support looks like

[Comedian]

These are fun exclusives. They are not necessary for the collection so they are great exclusives. I have no interest in these, but I know many love these so great for them.

The comments for these were so predictable lol. I don't mind toys being any thing but fun as well. The gingerbread trooper is really cool!

[KachoOn]

Honestly the gingerbread trooper and trooper with Grogu are pretty awesome and hysterical. Holiday Gonk is great too

[User897]

Yay.

Because these are in such high demand. You know how you're not supposed to give an addict money for "food?" The same applies here. Don't encourage hasblo.

[Sean C]

Awful, except for Chewbacca, yet you could buy the Mando and he'd still double in price in a few months CUZ MANDOZ.

I guess some fans will spend $200 on novelty kitsch. But, yeah, they aren't necessary so you can skip them at least.

[Rawlo]

...haven't been a fan of the Christmas themed figures- but the Scout Trooper and his Grogu sweater has me dying over here. Chewie as Bumble from Rudolph is also cool. There is some "cool" in there this year, last year's bunch just seemed like random Christmas color swaps.

Is this for real? Because forbidden toys sounds like a sex shop and I can’t find anything on google about it. I’m in the U.K. and I’m always looking for decent retailers. Just a heads up seeing as you’re U.K. based too, for some reason Comics and Cocktails has really gotten under the skin of U.K. collectors, but they sell opened toys as new, I put a big order in with them once for about 15 different figures and I suspect about 3 or 4 of them were opened, had the figures out, put back in, resealed and sold on as ‘new’. Since that incident there has been a couple of times where I’ve bought ‘new’ toys off eBay and suspected they were also opened and resealed, when I contacted the seller they were both adamant they hadn’t opened them, as they are like me and are in box collectors, and they both got them from Comics and Cocktails, if you check out their TrustPilot review you’ll see they are accused of it a few times. I also got the Neca movie TMNT figures from them and I suspect they are the fake ones that are knocking about. Sorry to bombard you with this, and sorry to other users for derailing the topic at hand, but I just wanted to warn this fellow U.K. collector, Comics and Cocktails seems to be the go to retailer for U.K. collectors, and it infuriates me because as far as I’m concerned they are scammers. As you were.

i think they clearly meant Forbidden Planet, which has been around for years

Well I thought that maybe they meant Forbidden Planet, but they were going on as if it’s some underground store no one has ever heard of, so I wasn’t sure.

Executive: "Star Wars fans will buy any old crap. Pitch me something really dumb."
Creative genius: "Christmas colours?"
Executive: "You've just earned yourself the afternoon off. Though you will need to make up those hours."

[Cyclopswc]

I know I'm probably the one one getting these, but I don't see them up on any of the sites that supposedly have them on 11/1.
