My only complaint is her capacity for paint smudging around the face. Mine has some orange bleeding onto the white and the other one they had when I got mine was just plain bad. I would like for Hasbro to re-release her ASAP because checking online she's not easy to get but she is pretty sought after.

Yah, I think you touched on that previously, so I knew to expect some smudging, but guess I got lucky, because the paint on mine is just about perfect. Even the eyes are incredibly precise, right down to the black pupil dots being centered properly in the irises. Very pleased.

Since mine just arrived, maybe it's part of a later batch from the manufacturer, and some kinks got ironed out. It wouldn't be the first time.

I like the first look at the Disney Store exclusive die cast Death Troopers....

ukmu · 09-01-2016, 01:36 AM

Also (for Universe and others)

There is a contest from 30.September to 30.October for fans to submit their stop motion videos using their newly acquired action figures.

Upload to starwars.com/rogueone for a chance to win premier screening tickets!!!!

The video above was from a Santa Monica USA based group that now makes videos full time after receiving funding to do so from Kickstarter. They will now be featured by Lego.com ,hasbro.com and even star wars.com - pretty good for some toy boys with cameras!

Thanks for the heads up UKMU; I would be all over this BUT Hasbro isn't releasing any Rogue One super articulated cast for 3.75" anytime soon as far as I know. Hard to pull this off in 5 POA.

ukmu · 09-01-2016, 07:53 AM

Not that hard!!

Just no holding weapons, saluting, waving or any military matching maneuver involving an elbow.

I cant find Phasma to save my life around here. I grabbed the only Han and Leia that I saw in the wild though.

5 POA is guaranteed but we're still unsure if we're gonna get another Walmart Black Series 3.75" line. And with the announcement of the VC repack Walmart wave, it seems a little bit unlikely because that wave could be the only Black Series 3.75" offerings we'll get this year.

I picked up the 6 inch black series Tie Fighter today from Target for $51. I could not pass it up.

What a steal! Hope you enjoy it.

I have been patiently waiting for them to drop the price. I got wet from Hermine but was worth it.

Anyone know a safe and effective way of cleaning off dust from the clothed parts on the TBS figures?

MUfan97 · 09-12-2016, 05:12 PM

Was doing some lighting tests and decided to have a bit of fun on the side.

redx24 · 09-12-2016, 05:37 PM

Saw the new rogue one chick in Walmart today she was on sale for for like 13$ I didn't go to a scanner but the peg she was on said the price and it was on the main toy aisle not a clearance aisle

Possibly an early leak? I know that happened with some TFA products.

Dude, this is awesome! I genuinely though this was taken by some of the professional photographers on this site.

Picked-up the Black Series Rogue One Set today at a LCS. Passed on the unmasked Kylo. They had three cases on the pegs.
