Star Wars Black Series Wave 9 (2016 EP VII Wave 5) Photo Shoots
 

First up, Leia. Very weird doing this now, I literally pulled her out of the case box on the day it happened.

Princess Leia Organa - Star Wars Black Series Gallery - The Toyark - News

Comically oversized soft goods clothing? Check.

Absolutely the worst Princess Leia head sculpt + paint since the first 90's PotF Leia? Check.

This figure looks like a dumpster fire, which is pretty unfortunate considering that there may be more demand for a decent looking Leia figure in light of recent events.

I keep hoping Hasbro will eventually learn their lesson and realize that they can't pull off soft goods, but I'm starting to think that day will never come. Oh well. Maybe SH Figuarts will do one of these some day.

You know, I was thinking about buying her, but I'll just wait for the Figuarts to come out instead. That figure is horrible looking.

Yeah, Leia's "generous" face sculpt looks like she's been pounding down Twinkies non-stop to fight boredom on long interstellar voyages. She looks f'in terrible and with the circus tent she's wearing she's hands-down the worst Leia figure in ages.

But hey, it's spot-on fodder for a Fifth Element custom:

Also, what happened to the Obi-Wan gallery? It was up this morning. Did someone jump the gun on positing that and had it taken down?

I did jump the gun. Not done, will be back up later this week.

It looked good to me! Looking forward to seeing it back up. :)

Holy shit! :eeek

LOL @ Dolemite :eek::D

I think they can do it in moderation but when the entire figure is covered in soft goods you're gonna have a problem. I haven't had a problem with any figures whose capes and/or skirts were soft goods but when you have ones like Luke and Leia with completely removable clothing it definitely gets cumbersome.

They should've went with a more generic, attractive female face instead of trying to force (no pun intended) a specific likeness. Even repainted, this doesn't really work.

Yeah, I don't disagree, but let's not encourage them. If it's all or nothing with Hasbro soft goods then please sign me up for nothing. Renewing subscription. Until the sun burns out.

I know nothing of Darth Revan, but that is one sweet-ass figure.

What picture?

Thanks Joe.

Yeah, pretty boss figure. Never played game or know much anything about this guy, but as a figure it's pretty bad ass.

Darth Revan looks amazing, but it feels like it will be very difficult to get the single figure. I am on the hunt, but maybe I started to early. :)

That was weird. Did someone yank the gallery and then put it back?

Revan!!! I'm a straight up drooling fanboy for this guy and therefor I love the shit out of this toy!

Aw man, Revan looks so great, but since I didn't really log any substantial amount of time on KotOR, I lack any sort of "connection" to him and don't feel as if I need him in my collection, but he looks so cool that I know for sure I won't be able to pass on him.

Back when the TVC Bastilla Shan first hit stores, I managed to spot her, but being largely indifferent to KotOR, I decided to earn some karma points and play "Catch and release", and left her for someone who would appreciate her more than me.

With Revan, I know I won't have that sort of self-control, so I hope that the KotOR fans in the area continue to spot him before I do :p

My hotness reference was to figure heat :)

I was going to pass because I feel no connection with the Rebels TV series (aside from Ahsoka) but that badass shot makes me want to buy the figure. Tony... you are so evil:pics
