Star Wars Black Series: Boxed Images of Wampa & TaunTaun Sets
 

I just saw this reported HERE. Includes images of the upcoming Black Series Wampa and TaunTaun Sets. They are both priced at $44.99.

On a side note, the rumor is, and take this with a grain of salt for now, is that Hasbro is planning on a Tauntaun follow up set with Luke Skywalker halfway stuffed inside it's belly. Again, not confirmed, but pretty much it's a done deal. Also, it will be a KB Toys, brick-and-mortar, exclusive.

There are no KB Toys brick and Mortar stores, or online store for that matter. They closed down years ago.

I know, it was a joke. The KB Toys mention was supposed to be the *wink, wink*. Also, might want to check that price of '$4.99' typo, on the front page post for these sets.

Hahaha. Whoops. :o Thanks for the typo catch and the heads up.

Glad to do it :thumbs

Nice. Much happier with these than the Jabba and biker scout. Biker scout was cool, but these just feel more substantial.

Same here. Jabba just had to much empty space in the box and the bike should not have cost 20$. Those first 2 deluxe sets should have been 30$. I can justify these being 40$. I get 2 full size , AND NOT REPACKED, figures and creatures in each. (That Han and Greedo pack was such a waste)

Sigh...Yet another variation of characters we already have, as opposed to getting new characters we don't. I think it's cool we're getting full sized beasts, but it would be nice to have a wave where we don't already have a character in some form. This is already the 4th version of Luke, and the second version of Han, not to mention the the numerous versions of stormtroopers we have already received (but still rarely see on shelves.) The Black Series is a cool line, but it's starting to feel like their Marvel Legends cousins where for a while, we had Cap, Iron Man, and Wolverine in every wave.

They look pretty good, love that Wampa.

i cant pay full price for those. ill wait for them to go on sale.

Man, Hasbro sure likes to photoshop the heck out of their promo pics...

I'm going to point this out. The Wampa has a removable right arm. Look at the fact that it's not ball jointed like the left arm.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Daniel Bryan Yes. I would agree that Han & Greedo was greedy (see what I did there), and Jabba was some serious Jibba Jabba with no accessories, not even in paper, unless you Sold to the Devil Consciously your Character (see again what I did there). Speeder Bike/Trooper Lou was worth the cost, I don't care what gets said, it's a very detailed piece with a good $20 figure.

But yeah, these are redos on two existing characters. Let me hold up my five gabillion Bumblebees and Optimus Primes for reference. Still, I'm more pumped than a Tuskan Raider on Free Bantha Day.

Want the Wampa but not the Luke.

Initially I wanted the Han as Stormtrooper, but then I finally found a regular Stormtrooper so that one's a pass. I'll most likely try and get Bossk.

And here's your third Han of the set. Next up, fifth Luke in Stormtrooper garb. And is it just me or does the master designer really really really like Bounty Hunters? Because Bossk is about as wanted in the series as an Episode I Watto. Next we'll be seeing IG-88, Dengar, Zuckuss, and 4-LOM. When that happens, I'm going to shoot them all sitting at a tea party.

And can SOMEONE please give me an Episode IV Leia, or an Episode V Leia, or heck, I'd even settle for an Episode II Padme. And C-3PO. And Episode IV Ben Kenobi. And Episode I Qui Gon Jin. And Episode V Lando Colt45 can as an accessory Calrissian.

Actually Bossk has something of a remarkable fan-base (pretty sure he's 2nd after Boba), in fact all of the bounty hunters from Empire are fairly popular. Also Watto is unwanted by most anybody. People here on the ark have stated a want for the bounty hunters and never once asked for Watto. Regarding Leia, at least we're getting the Boushh disguise but it is odd that we haven't gotten or heard anything about a regular Leia like the original or the Hoth/Echo base white padded suit (I actually like the white padded jacket more than the original robes).

That Han & Tauntaun will be mine, but I'll add my voice to the requests for a normal Leia. That Slave Leia did nothing for me and now we're getting her as Bouschh(?) as well. What happened to the iconic Ep 4 costume?

I have my doubts they will ever make a dangar, zuckuss, 4-lom

I am a focus collector of Bossk. I love all the bounty hunters but after collecting everything I had to scale back to 1 character and I figured everybody wants Boba Fett. Who doesn't love a bounty hunter lizard in a flight suit. I cannot wait for this figure.

That is really surprising, but cool. I just never knew. The Watto thing is just me being funny.

I think at this point it's pretty apparent that the 6" line is thriving enough to warrant more releases, without hampering other lines. At one point, there seemed to be worry about there being no market.

No worries, You'd be really surprised at what some characters people focus collect. It's a more common collecting habit these days with so much product out in the market. Star Wars just has to much these days. I think the more figures they release the more it will pick up. I was avoiding this line like the plague until Wave 4 came out. So yeah it got me hooked again.

I liked Bossk since I first saw the movie because it was just so neat. He has the most famous toes (or rather talons) in the Star Wars movies, and as Robot Chicken elaborated he was the only bounty hunter polite enough to take off their shoes when they got on the ship. Classy.
I was worried that the line would suffer a premature end due to shitty case packing and distribution, but thankfully things are turning around for the line. I probably wouldn't even get it, but why the hell isn't there a Lando yet? He's the pimp of cloud city (Will Ferrell's words) and yet a figure isn't even announced yet. That cool ass attitude, the hair, and the cape, we need that toy to class up the joint.

OMG...I ALREADY FOUND THE NEW STORMTROOPER HAN! HE WAS ON MY SHELF THE ENTIRE TIME!

Okay...not really...because Han's head doesn't fit on the ball peg on the Stormtrooper's body, but having noticed this, this kinda pisses me off. Not only is Hasbro putting out a unnecessary figure over others that could have been done, they are basically charging people 20 bucks for a Han Solo head that will retooled to fit the basic Stormtrooper buck you have already.

Remember this image. As a matter of fact...get used to it. Because this and others like it are going to pollute the listings on ebay for months once that Han and Luke ship. Thanks Hasbro.

late to this convo
 

Anyone notice how horrible Leia's face looks in the black series? They do a great job on Luke and Han, but butcher Leia...and I always had the biggest crush on Carrie Fisher when I was a kid...I used to dream about saving her from the clutches of the Empire LoL...can't believe they mangled her face so badly on that toy.

Also...take a look at all the Padme figures...Natalie Portman is one of the all time hottest women, outside of Olivia Wilde and Keira Knightley. ..who actually all look very similar, but that's neither here nor there, the point is, here's this unbelievably gorgeous woman and the toys they make of her are hideous...how is it they capture the males facial features so well but totally jack up the females?
