Nice to see others will get a chance to get the updated Kenobi head (I was able to get the vintage style figure and LOVE the head and brighter lightsaber color). Also great that the bar has shelves in the back to store random accessories behind from other figures.

Can't wait to get all of these!

[Maverick]

Gonna need to get cantina showdown. I would love to see a haslab make the cantina in 4 inch scale.

[ShabbyBlue]

So they are doing a 6" Dave Filoni X-Wing pilot? Ok, that's cool... but I'd still like to get Biggs and other important ones too. It's stupid that they haven't done that yet since they can cheaply use the same X-Wing pilot body they used for Luke and Wedge and just sculpt new heads for several other pilots. I'd love to get a 3-pack with Biggs, Red Leader, and Green Leader in it.

That Cantina set is cool! Maybe they'll make a Bea Arthur figure to go with it at some point.

It's 2021. Dave Filoni's ego having a cameo in The Mandalorian is more relevant and more marketable than Biggs and two characters with a combined 30 seconds of screen time that are so unimportant you didn't even use their real names.

[Harbinger]

Good, theres nothing there i want.

[dukefett]

I like Filoni so I'll try to grab that. Otherwise I'm good. I'm more into 1/6 but am keeping some 1/12 for dios, but without like a half a dozen other aliens that cantina will be bare. Should've come with Wuher!

[Cyclopswc]

They should have made a new body for Filoni and then reuse that body for Jed Porkin down the line.

How do you know they wont? Because that does seem like a likely conclusion.

Also, does a cardboard cut out on a plastic diorama piece really enhance the value of the already great Palpa-chair set? Either way, it's nice of them to do it in the vintage style box art.

[Chopper Face]

No severed arm option with that Cantina set? I guess that would upset the children.

Honestly, given the appearance of severed arms in... certain other toylines that are substantially more restricted about things, and the fact that this is a convention exclusive rather than an actual retail item, I think the lack of a severed arm is less some "think of the children!" thing and probably more just that it would require new parts for Ponda beyond the head and hands, which the set seems reticent to dole out.

I think having proper alt hands is a nicer touch, even if not as dynamic

[tierneygreen]

I'll probably pick up the Throne Room. I'm a sucker for 3.75" OT set pieces.

Side note, that Palps has major resting bitch face.

I'd kill for a Green Leader figure, but the A-Wing pilot's suit is very different from the X-Wing's, too much so for the Luke X-Wing Pilot tooling to be reused.

LOL yes.

[Skoob]

Filoni is an endomorph, which is to say, he's stocky. This body seems like a mismatch. Moreover, the sculpt of his face could be more flattering. I want this figure anyway, just because I'm grateful for all that he and Favreau have done to salvage and reinvigorate the franchise. Still, I hope the final product resembles him better.

Oh, is it time to start digitally defecating on Dave Filoni now?
I guess you're getting on a jump on Mandalorian Season 3 vitriol.

Hopefully in the future he'll just do generic Bad Star Wars Creative Decision stuff so you can just take your library of "George Lucas is not giving me the Star Wars that I want" posts and do a mass replace of "George Lucas" with "Dave Filoni".

[Skoob]

I don't care, just as long as Kathleen Kennedy is kept at arm's length and nobody lets JarJar Abrams in the door again...

[0reser0]

Nothing of interest save for Ben Kenobi but I already have the 40th anniv. of A New Hope version of him.

Gotta love people supporting a company that hates its audience. Keep up the good work.
