Man amazing pics as always Tony. The Face printing is a thing of beauty

EvilMonkeyPope · 10-09-2018, 04:46 PM

It took me five months to capture a Gamorrean in the wild!

Trivial Psychic · 10-09-2018, 08:08 PM

Thank goodness that I have 90 percent of the characters that I wanted out of this line, because it's become a frustrating mess with all of the exclusives, repacked, and leaked figures out there. While many of the figures are still good and worth seeking, distribution wise, Black Series has devolved into a disaster, and it's really starting to turn me off from the line.

Krydion · 10-10-2018, 06:04 AM

Gamorrean was a tough one to find. Finally found it in CT in mid-September, so I'm glad I didn't pay double the price online. The hunt is part of the thrill, but still....

Dragasses · 10-10-2018, 06:23 AM

still not sure why they made the gammorrean guard and exclusive. especially how hard it was to get a vintage collection one. hasbro should have flooded the market with those, because every single one would sell.

I got lucky and stumbled across a case.

Tony_Bacala · 10-10-2018, 09:07 AM

And Bespin Escape Leia is up! I shot some of the other figs in this setup too cuz the lighting came out good.

EPIC lighting Tony. Now I not only want the figure, I want posters of this shoot!

Tony_Bacala · 10-10-2018, 09:48 AM

Ha, thanks! I've been thinking of offering prints of some of these shots but need to research the best way to do it. No clue on demand so can't go all in printing mad copies in advance.

Dolemite · 10-10-2018, 10:09 AM

Tony, you fucking kick all known forms of ass. Great work.

Also, the figure is really well-done. I saw one in Target and the likeness is spot-on.

Skoob · 10-10-2018, 01:06 PM

I'm with you. Tremendous photography. I'm still waiting for the figure, but it looks very nice.

I really appreciate Hasbro producing more figures from the Hoth portion of ESB. It's my favorite part of my favorite movie, and I want all the Hoth figures for a Hoth display.

Bearjew · 10-10-2018, 01:43 PM

I have to say that these pictures are REALLY impressive. I bet you could do really well with some prints.

En Sabah Nerd · 10-10-2018, 01:55 PM

When is the Hoth Leia coming out? We only learned about this exclusive one (which shares parts) a couple of months ago and it's already out but no word on the regular retail figure we saw at the beginning of the year. Her, disguise Lando, and Dengar have just been up in the air.

Well, the wave before her is in the wild, in-box seen. But no official pre-orders yet.

Hoth Leia, Jabba Lando and Dengar are after that.

Both of those waves will have repacks to fill in the 6/7/8 per case. So expect them to be clogged up in distribution, and/or come and go quickly while the repacks sit.

Stupidity.

This. It annoys me to no end that they made these cases so limited in nature that it becomes nigh impossible because the collectors that have unlimited time and deep pockets are the ones that are able to snag. And not every market is treated equal. For a time Hasbro was getting it very much spot on with distribution and case waves. But there is this massive push with these exclusives and it's creating havoc. Now every Friday is Forced. Literally.

Star Wars Black Series 4-Lom and Qi'ra Gallery - The Toyark - News

4-Lom and Qi'ra are up!

At one point I wanted to stay up with Solo and be complete, so Qi'ra was ordered, however I've since abandoned that goal.

4-Lom is boss tho.

En Sabah Nerd · 10-15-2018, 01:38 PM

I said it back when I got mine but it's worth repeating, I freaking love how they handled 4-LOM's eyes (and head as a whole).

dCon · 10-15-2018, 04:27 PM

I have a question, can you guys let me know how i can get, & when they are out/ud they R out, Black Series Bounty Hunter rereleases mentioned back in SDCC?

I have all the O.T. Black Series but missing EVERY ONE the Bounty Hunters + w.1 pilot Luke. Started collecting when wave2/wave3 was out, (1st n# run/1st pckg) in 2013 IIRC. Then back tracked most of wave 1 after. But my retail chains skipped wave 3 which is what i believe what Boba Fett was & it was nigh impossible to find the rest. Im after IG88, 4-lom, Boba, Greedo.

Tony_Bacala · 10-15-2018, 06:45 PM

Vault re-issues are due in 2019, no official date yet. I'd keep an eye out on front page, retailers, starting soon.

combine929 · 10-15-2018, 07:18 PM

keep an eye on “The Black Series Archive ” in 2019，the new package had already shown on nycc，you can check it
