Cool. Finally getting a VC Grand Inquisitor. I wish they'd do the Rebels crew. I'd love to get a Kanan to pose with him.

New Mando, CW Ahsoka, Darth Malgus on my radar. I think the blue on Mando is a bit too rich/bright/saturated, etc., distracting. But otherwise looks great.

I never played the KOTR games, but Malgus looks BOSS A F.

Very nice reveals. The Ewok toons are so awesome. I would love to get more droids and Ewoks toon figures in the line.

First look at the return of window packaging. Mando is from Book of Boba Fett

How many “Jedi” Luke Skywalkers are they going to make? Give us a Cobb Vanth TVC figure already.

That's a significant retool. Love the new sculpts and details. Especially the helmet and pauldron attachment system. I'm in.

gotta love the mid series team

I'm 100% down with that new Mando. Hell yes.

YES!! Hasbro finally pulled their heads out of their asses and gave the fans what they want for once.

Oddly, they haven't revisited ROTJ Hologram Luke.

The Ewok reveal is too soon. Spring 2024. A year away and they are repaints? Could've just waited.

Hopefully we will get a thall joben soon. Id kill for a black series release of him and starkiller.

ugh my wallet

everyones talking shit about hasbro but they arent disappointing me

New Mando looks great, can't wait to sweat over finding one ��

Happy with this as a TBS collector. I hope we get more SWTOR characters than Malgus

Ewok, Ewok....

I like Ewok's ;^)

Walmart exclusives are up early!

https://www.walmart.com/cp/star-wars/1229472

Damnit i hate walmart exclusives. The stores never stock them, the website usually cancels them & evilbay wants too much for them. Making these walmart exclusives just feeds the fucking scalpers.

I know. this is the same dance with Walmart Exclusives every time:

1) Order it through the website, hoping it doesn't sell out in seconds (although that's been better the last few times)
2) Wait for it and hope that it doesn't get canceled (I've had orders that were canceled with no reason given, I guess they just oversold)
3) They ship it out in plastic bags and hopefully, it survives the trip from the post office (I've had pretty much all my Walmart Exclusives crushed and damaged in one way or another).
4) You'll never find them in stores (except for the GIJoe ones)

I hate Walmart Exclusives, but it's a necessary evil. At least they're better than Walgreens Exclusives...I'm glad they're not doing that anymore!

Amazon has some of the new figures up for pre-order

https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/p...f_=as_li_ss_tl

Mando has a March 2024 placeholder date lol

amazon wont let me checkout for all the black series except malgus just keeps saying carts empty . now it Currently unavailable again. owell Entertainment earth gets my business

They should just do away with exclusives period. If its a main version it should NOT be exclusive period.

Again with the "deluxe" packaging for no reason other than to raise the price of a figure, Malgus doesn't even have as many accessories as some of the standard priced figures solicited with him.

This isn't as big of a complaint but I'll go ahead and also whine that they threw out a 20th anniversary of Clone Wars emblem during the stream which mainly applies to the 2003 Genndy Tartakovsky cartoon but then proceeded to show nothing actually from that series. The phase 2 clone and magnaguard could just as well be sold as RotS figures and then Ahsoka is from 2008, I wouldn't be bringing this up if they had used something evoking the Filoni series that said 15 instead. Really I'm just salty that they were like "oh yay it's 20 years of Clone Wars" and then didn't show Durge or something that's actually turning 20.

Last thing then is that I find it laughable that the Archive line is already retracing its own steps. I thought the point of this sub-line was to get highly-demanded figures back out there and then to also improve on previous releases by incorporating face-printing, but they're re-doing Pilot Luke again already.
