Yes yes yes, It is the only trooper from this new film that they have yet to reveal a 6" figure for. They haven't done all of the troopers for the original movies yet so they might sit on the flametrooper too but I kinda doubt that since it's from the big new movie. From the OT they still gotta do the Snowtrooper and AT-AT Pilot to be finished with their troopers, I don't count the Death Star gunners as troopers since they aesthetically lack qualities shared by the other troopers.

I could have sworn I've seen a flametrooper reveal somewhere.

I haven't seen a heavy gunner yet either.. I hope we get one of those as well.

I'd also like to see more clones.. They seem like they'd be an easy way to increase profit with only a small amount of retooling and a couple of paint apps.

I was trying to find those deformed lights on their site and ran across this which I had never seen. Anyone else familiar with this?

For those of you who have the Captain Phasma Black Series figure, I'm just curious...What the hell is up with her scale? She's freakin huge! She's at least a full inch taller than any of my stormtroopers, and even towers over Kylo Ren and Vader. I never noticed it when looking at her inside the packaging, but outside...my goodness, it's really quite noticeable, and she sticks out like a sore thumb.

Gwendoline Christie is 6'3" so there should be some difference but maybe not that much.

That's supposed to be that way.

Yeah if she's taller than Darth Vader then we have a problem here since David Prowse is 6'6". However some previous figures have been too tall given their actor's height such as the Boushh Leia which is as tall as most any other figure even though Carrie Fisher was notably shorter than the rest of the cast.

I saw it at the Disney store last week. It is just like the other Disney Store pvc sets. The one on wal marts page even has a disney store sticker on it.

The Force Awakens Black Series figures are my first foray into 6 inch figures and I have to say, overall pretty good value for what they are selling them at. I'm now looking back at some of the other figures they have come out and I love how they are willing to make figures of the EU and of the animated series. So what was just a way for me to get hyped up for the new movie has now gotten me hooked on collecting these. Can't wait for Revan, Sabine, Ahsoka, and Kanan to come out!

Phasma just went up on Toys R Us. Don't know how much longer, though.

Not very long evidently since it's out of stock now and probably went out fast after your post.

[Dr Kain]

I've pretty much given up on trying to get Phasma right now. I'll just wait until I come across her in a store since she'll show up sooner or later like everyone else has.

Gamestop seems to be your friend if you're looking for her. I spoke with a couple of vendors and collectors as well this past weekend at Tucson Comic Con, and like me and several others here on the boards, that's where she seems to be turning up most at the moment. A buddy of mine picked her up this past weekend as well at Gamestop while grabbing his COD:BO3 reservation.

Probably helps that like Walgreens before it about a year ago, people really weren't thinking to look there for Black Series stuff, (I know I certainly didn't.)

Gamestop has also been the only place around me locally that has carried the Black Series TIE Fighter.

[Phantomcrow]

My local Wal Mart just put out 2 cases of the Phasma wave a few days ago. When I went back the day after I saw them all that was left was Finn. Even the regular Troopers got snatched up.

So 4 full peg spots and they get 2 cases of restock that fill half of that area.

[Grippen]

Bought a few 4'' figures this weekend. The Shocktrooper I bought doesn't have the eye section on the helmet painted on.

Anyone seen these before? Is this a "variant" or factory error only? Well factory error for sure just trying to figure out how common it was.

My Gamestops don't sell toys. They are barely big enough to hold games.

[Madflava]

When I was searching for Phasma I discovered that only 3 Gamestops in my area was getting the Black Series figures. The closest one was 13 miles away and did get one case of Wave 2 but only Constable was left. I was pretty lucky to get her on Amazon because I happened to get back to my desk and she happened to be in stock along with the rest of wave 2.
