As part of my Christmas haul (sorry, no pics here) I got the Amazon exclusive praetorian guard, First Order disguise Finn, and Jaina Solo. Pretty much each was only $16 too. The guard I caught in an Amazon lightning deal, got Finn at Gamestop during the 25% sale, and then I found Jaina at Walmart where Black Series figures were just on sale.
Amazon Praetorian Guard: I really like the heavy blade weapon and this version of the helmet is great (I guess it's meant to evoke burgonet armor). The chain-blade sword is well done as is but it would've been cooler to get it in the actual whip form. Otherwise this is just a nice repeat of the regular Praetorian.

Finn: I really liked Finn in TFA but I wasn't so keen on his first 6" figure and then I never found the FN-2187 so finally getting a Finn feels good out the gate. That this is a cool toy on its own merits though is even better. We finally get the extended shock baton (also seen in the Amazon Stormtrooper set I suppose) and a nice pistol and removable hat which I took some joy in testing out on random other toys.

Jaina: back in the days before TFA when this was the new hero character of the old post-ROTJ stories I was only ever "meh" about her. I had issues with pretty much all of that part of the old EU (the New Republic time I guess you'd call it). So when Jaina won the fan poll (which was as easy to follow as a single wave in the Atlantic) I wasn't ecstatic. Having said that Hasbro delivered the goods here. She doesn't look like anybody (as she well shouldn't) but there are some familiar Han Solo like qualities to the face and it's just so well done like every Black Series figure not based on a real person. The accessories are nice and I really appreciate that the flight gear is designed to be removed but since the clothes underneath are rather dull (and Bryan Singer X-Men looking) I'm leaving the flight gear on. Hasbro likes to knock it out with their fan poll winners I guess since Revan last year remains among my favorites. One complaint I have about Jaina, and this is just me bitching so nothing against the toy itself, is that I've already found her twice in person now. I never found Revan once, I had to get lucky and snag him online without surrendering a kidney.
