Dear Hasbro...

From the beginning, all I've ever wanted from the Black Series, more than anything else...was Ahsoka Tano.



Thank you for hearing my pleas...and for making dreams come true....

Really falling in love with the Kanan figure. It's the little details in the mold that are doing it for me, such as the texture in the fabrics, and some really good articulation despite some things that hold it back (such as the belt and the shoulder armor.) My favorite little detail though...the lightsaber comes apart into two pieces, allowing him to display it on his belt the way it is done on the show, and he can hold each piece in his hands so he can be posed connecting the saber together!



Speaking of lightsabers, I finally got around to painting up a few casts that I had done from Casting Cave, and was rather pleased with how they came out, especially the black and gold one on the bottom. I know I used a lot more gold than most people are accustomed to seeing in a saber hilt, but that's precisely why I did, you don't see that metal or color being used all that much for lightsabers outside of Windu's or Palpatine.



The top two didn't have pre-drilled holes in them, and after a few attempts to make some of my own, I decided not to mess with them anymore, as I didn't want to risk destroying the resin they were casted in. They'll probably go to Jango since he successfully killed several Jedi in the battle of Galidraan, although when we eventually get a Black Series Grevious, they're more than likely finding home with him.

The bottom saber did have a hole pre-drilled in it however, and has since found a home in the hand of Palpatine. I tried to keep the mostly black and gold theme from his battle with Yoda, and the saber instantly makes an already deceptively good, and very under the radar figure a thousand times better.

Nice job on those custom light sabers!

I finally broke down and bought 3 plastic cases from Glass Domes, Acrylic Risers Cases Showcases Doll Stands & Doll Domes so i could hang up one of my star wars figures. i've had the figure for a while but ran out of cases. i added it to the wall surrounding my Leia poster hehe

Wow, is Hasbro just sending out cases of the Flame Trooper dude? My TRU currently has 24 of him on their pegs and no one else. WTF?

[Augustus_Cole]

Sweet setup Universe....
Leia looks pregnant..

I think they might have accidentally done this because both my Wal-Mart and Toys R Us had like twelve Flametroopers but absolutely no one else from that wave and I kinda doubt that with that many Flametroopers all the Finn and Han figures were gone but they weren't.

YEah, but thank the gods there is not a single other character I want coming out any time soon since my TRU will never get in any new waves until problem the Rogue One ones.

[JokerArkham]

pretty surprised that my local kmart had a titans rey figure among a freshly restocked shelf containing nothing but vader, finn, kylo and the various trooper classes

alot of the stores here have stopped stocking newer waves of the basic line past the one with the rebels characters and general hux which is pegwarming to the point of clearance prices so it was surprising to find a newer figure among much of the same, a little disappointed there was only the one i picked up considering how prominent she was in the finished movie

hopefully rey is more of a merchandise focus point with episode 8

This happened to my area last year. We got the Bossk wave but then suddenly every store skipped the Emperor, Boushh, IG-88 wave to preserve space for the hugely over-hyped Force Friday release. It didn't bother me that much since I was able to order Leia/Boushh online with ease but this year I'm looking forward to Revan, the AT-AT Pilot, Snowtrooper, and maybe also Sabine so it would be a low-blow for my local stores to skip any waves just because Force Friday is near.

How so? The Force Awakens Merch largeky ignored the main character to the point of exclusion in board games.

For those of you in the UK that are after wave 2 of the FA Black Series 3.75" figures, a lot of Asda stores have just started to get them over the past few days. Picked up Kylo Ren and the Stormtrooper from my local one the other day. Passed on Leia for now.

So do you think Rogue One will get Hasbro to give us an Episode IV Darth Vader figure?

I think that would be cool. I definitely would want one, their Empire/Jedi Vader is alright but they could certainly improve on the helmet even just by repainting the Emperor's Wrath Vader head as many fans have. The soft goods don't bother me on Vader as much as they do on other figures, I like the way his cape sits behind him.

[cobralord]

Anyone know where I can buy a BS 6 inch Luke's blue lightsaber? Without actually buying a Luke figure. As I've only been buying TFA figures.
