New Hasbro Star Wars Reveals
 

Gah! Just bought ESB 40th Yoda... Should have waited a day. lolz

Some cool stuff. The vintage collection is I guess....a joke? I heard more is coming on the 4th. Hopefully more 3.75 stuff then.

Any of this up for preorder yet?

1:30 PM for pre-orders. So, very soon.

New Pre-Orders for Star Wars: The Black Series, The Vintage Collection, and More - The Toyark - News

EDIT:
Added photos of figures not up for pre-order.

Need that Han in carbonite.

We're waiting for Amazon to load up their pre-orders to load those hi-res pics.

The amazon links say out of stock. No way these sold out already?

hmmm
 

Are these just place holders? These going live before 5/4?

Didn't carbonite Han originally come with SDCC Boba Fett? Either way, it's cool that they're making it available separately now. My Boba could use a nice trophy.

thank god FINALLY a newly-sculpted Stormtrooper! Finally it has an accurate helmet!

The Star Wars sites are stating that these have not gone up yet. Must just be placeholders right now! Can't wait for that Vader!

Weird. Everything was to go live after the presentation. I really don’t want to sit by my iPad all day waiting for these.

Hasbro really proved they can turn an great opportunity into a flaming pile of disappointment. Thank you for wasting my time and crushing my hopes.

Seconded.

Pre-order tease! :p ;) haha

It's really such an interesting situation with Hasbro. The Marvel team has been absolutely killing it the last two years or so. Such great wave assortments and exclusives constantly coming down the pipe. So what the hell is going on over at Star Wars? Plus, I'm already tired of these guys doing the events (NYTF and today's fan event).

Where is Zeb? Where is new Mandalorian product? Stop talking about these carbonized collections like people really give a damn about chrome repaints (although I will admit I'm totally getting Vader and the Stormtrooper). Why are we not receiving more EU and Prequel figures at a faster rate? I don't understand why Legends get somewhere around, what, 50 -60 new figures a year and for Star Wars we're lucky to get half of that.

Why can't we order Teebo yet?

I saw something on Yakface a while back saying the guy who did the box art had an illustration of Zeb up on his site but he quickly took it down.

I assume it's because the last 5ish years have not been great for Star Wars media, whether you love or hate the sequel trilogy. Probably hard to get retailers interested in carrying large waves of 3" figures and ships, or to dedicate shelf space to Black Series figures that aren't tentpole characters.

Zeb, Jar Jar AND Crait Luke! I believe there was a fourth at that time too but I can't remember off the top of my head.

Okay, someone clue me in...

Is there something special about the Han Solo in Carbonite? It looks like $15 for a slab of plastic with a plastic stand. Does it have an actual Han Solo figure inside? Is the slab at least die-cast metal?

Aside from the redone Stormtrooper, does anyone else notice something seems new about the Clone Trooper as well? Like, aside from the seemingly new more TCW-y helmet sculpt, at the very least the elbows seem different from both prior versions of the Clone Trooper mold. The bicep now seems fixed to the shoulder, and the elbow seems swivel-hinge like most other Black Series figures... but it still also looks double jointed somehow? Maybe it's like how NECA does a lot of their swivel-hinge double elbows? Something's definitely new with it, and I can't quite figure out what.

Because the EU doesn't represent Lucasfilm's vision of their expanded universe which, to no one's surprise, is just crap overload. It's obvious from the many unsold 6" Black figures starting from Rogue One up to the Sequel Trilogy. Speaking of unsold Star Wars figures, those hundreds of 3.75" Rose Ticos are still being sold at $2 a piece and still no one wants them. That's how bad the brand has become.
