Just because we were talking about it here's all 5 Leia toys my Walmart had as of last night, I suppose it's possible some might be gone now.

Thank you for posting this. I had contemplated doing the same thing after seeing this figure on the shelf a few times, but after watching this, I'm gonna run out to grab it!

Something good actually came out of the Walgreens Vader after all. I'm lazy though so I'll stick with the regular version's bloated helmet :p

I need another lightsaber as well for my Palpatine figure, since Hasbro decided not to give us one, and finding loose/casted ones has been a pain in the ass. So Vader's one it is! I might see if I can swap the chopped off hand onto my classic BS Vader as well, so I get an all in one "Ultimate" version if you will...

Yeah it's kinda weird that the Emperor didn't have a lightsaber but Yoda did. While I prefer that they went with the OT looks I know many people were happy that Yoda still had his own weapon.

That looks TERRIFIC - probably the best version on this scale. What a travesty, that you had to go to the extraordinary length of painting the helmet in order to achieve the superior look!

..Now I'm jealous. :mad::D

Hasbro should label SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED on their figures these days!

The head looks great painted, but I can't paint for ****, so it would be worthless of me to bother getting this Vader.

ukmu 02-09-2016 01:47 AM

Yeah... We aren't t just all HYDRA and FIRST ORDER. The bad guys need someone to punish! ;)

If Han shows up today I will post it, the update it when we get our Ackbar

6" Ahsoka is perfection in figure form. Sabine isn't far off.

ukmu 02-14-2016 12:43 AM

I am looking forward to grabbing Maz in that set!! I was hoping for some new vehicles. Kylo command shuttle and First Order Stormtrooper dropship mostly. And like everyone eles, still awaiting Master Luke and General Leia. In time I guess....

Monte Williams 02-14-2016 08:00 AM

Thrilled to have this creep back in my collection.

Madame Warlock 02-14-2016 07:17 PM

God even Star Wars is getting the 3.75" shaft... glad we're getting Sabine's new Costume, though. I lost one of the guns on the old figure and it kinda ruined it for me. I've warmed up to her new design too.

ukmu 02-16-2016 02:12 PM

Yep, they are pushing 6" really hard Madame Warlock. The only articulated game in 3.75" town has gone exclusive to a single store. Hasbro has done that before and it spelled doom for those lines. The Black Series 3.75" may soon go the way of the dodo. Time will tell....

I feel bad for collectors who have invested heavily in the line over the years and told to get 5 POA figures for the new film or get less than 10 articulated figures a year from a single chain store. Or switch scales entirely..... Sad days for 3.75"

That said, we are brand new to Star Wars so we are ok with the 5 POA line. As Marvel 3.75" collectors ( my son and I) we would be mad if put in the same boat as Star Wars 3.75" collectors. Or worse.... GI JOE collectors have been just completely shafted. Way of the world these days.

I hear you. As one of those long time collectors it's hard going to back to 5POA or just getting a handful of figures a year. I have almost religiously collected Star Wars since its resurgence in the late 90's, well over 700 figures from the movies and EU - didn't get the Clone Wars figures as I don't care for the animation. So knowing how it was going to be going into this movie's merchandise was bittersweet.

At first I decided to get nothing. Then I read about the smaller black line, which I was down for and have all the ones from TFA. I wasn't going to by any 5POA but I did cave and got a Phasma and a Guarvian...however you spell their name, the red suited space pirate. Phasma I will store away once/if they release the small black series figure on her (I can't see them doing that line for the other) but that's pretty much it.

Kind of sad, but I don't want to get into the 6 inch line, that is reserved only for Marvel Legends, and trying to take on another scale for another brand at this point. It's just too much time/effort/space/money.

Omanlew 02-16-2016 03:14 PM

Hey could someone please give me some insight on 3.75 vs. 6 inch? I really like figures from both sizes but I want to be smarter with my money now a days and stick to one line. Yes, 3.75 are cheaper but Black Series has fewer figures to collect so I figure the price difference would be almost the same. Which do you prefer and why?

I have always had a 3.75" collection of SW toys and they got better and better every year it seemed but then Hasbro shot themselves in the foot. Once the decision to re-release TPM in 3D was called Hasbro made an entire wave of figures for it with the only really worthwhile/remarkable one being a new Darth Maul. This wave absolutely cluttered my stores and 80% of the wave peg-warmed like they were glued in place. A long drought ensued with no new releases in my area for what seemed to be a little over a year and so I was kicked out of collecting since any figures in the waves after went for ludicrous second-market prices. Eventually the pegs were cleared of TPM stuff and the Black Series 3.75" toys renewed the SW toy sections of my stores with some new stuff but mainly welcomed re-issues of those figures that skipped me because of the dry period. I'll always have a special place in my toy collecting heart for SW 3.75" toys but my days of anticipating new releases are slim and picky. The 6" line however has sort of reinvigorated my SW collecting spirit.
At first I was not interested since 3.75" was my main SW area but I knew that I would still get a few of those "must have" characters for a small display. Basically Boba Fett, a Stormtrooper, and Darth Vader were my only real wants when the line was introduced (Vader hadn't even been announced at the time but we all knew they'd get to him). I hunted for so long to no avail trying to get Fett in wave 2 and had passed on every figure in wave 1. I never found Boba Fett in stores, just a sea of Leia, Greedo, and some Han too. I did then find the Stormtrooper when he was released and got one. It is just such a damn well done toy that I immediately expanded my want-list. I eventually got Boba Fett online for retail price and my collection has now grown a decent amount.
As much as the 3.75" toys are awesome and great to play with there is a notable amount of higher display value with the 6" toys. The fact that Hasbro cut back articulation to '77 levels on their 3.75" toys in general and now reserves articulation in that scale for exclusives put in some extra push towards the 6" line as well. Basically for me it comes down to the 6" figures looking better, being bigger, and then not wanting every character in the line to begin with making them my preferred line now. However if I wanted every character available and then to actually play with them then the 3.75" line has a lot going for it still.
