On another note, this has seriously been the easiest wave of Black Series that I have found in the wild in a LONG time. Not sure whether to view that as a generalized fatigue of Star Wars, or an just how weak of a lineup this wave actually is, or improvements in distribution, which Black Series has suffered from a while now. The only figure I have yet to see is the FO Jet Trooper, which was a Walmart exclusive, so no surprises there.

Odd, mine is not like that at all. Clicks in the knees, nothing moves when you shake him. Holds all poses.

I did notice it moved a bit smoother at each articulation point, less pressure to get things done. Which I actually like, so it's less of a chore to pose these guys. But I guess it's more of a mistake than purposeful now. Maybe as they came out of the mold over and over it got slowly less tight.

My pal's Mando didn't have this issue either.
