Star Wars: The Force Awakens Black Series Poe Dameron vs Stormtrooper Set

[Punisher26]

Damn, $94 for this set to ship to US. Too pricey but nice.

It'll probably be much more affordable at whichever North America retailer will carry it. Hopefully we'll know soon who that is.

[Punisher26]

I agree and sure hope so.

I really wonder how they generate names in Star Wars.

Every time I hear "Poe", I think "Kung Fu Panda".

I know "Kung Fu Panda" is "Po", but still.

I hope more 'non-Force Awakens' surprises like the upcoming Rebels and Battlefront figures are planned, because thus far, I haven't seen a single thing from Force Awakens that makes me feel "I want that."

Apparently the name "Poe" came from what J. J. Abrams' daughter called her plush polar bear, he thought it was a friendly name. I'm still mixed on it, maybe it's too friendly.

We know they're doing Jango Fett, farm Luke, Ahsoka, Revan, and Sabine but will those still be their own line or will we have to wait until like next year? Admittedly ones like Revan and Sabine wouldn't be out until next year anyway.

I just think they were too Poe to come up with a better name. Just like the constant binge watching of Ren and Stimpy to come up with another name in this epic new saga. Or the other binge watching of Adventure Time.

Gotta love the internet science fiction name generator they used for this movie.

On a side note, I'm glad I have not gotten a stormtrooper yet. The add on bonuses with this set make up for the forcibly forceful forced fisting from force Friday to equate to what they will charge for this two pack.

I actually picked up the Poe Dameron figure but haven't had the heart to open it. The production head sculpt and paint are disappointing, and the lack of wrist articulation is awful. I wanted this character in his flight suit, but I may return him and await this two pack instead. The stormtrooper with extra gear is pretty great. Listings for a Balck Series two pack were reported in Target computers, so my guess is that Target will be the place to get this on the US.

Thanks for brightening my day! And not that anybody cares, but I want to backtrack on my previous comment about Force Awakens figures. The First Order TIE Fighter Pilot Elite figure looks cool, with the red streaks across the eyepieces, Grendel-style. "I want that!"

Are you sure? All my Black Series figures from the initial waves have jointed wrists.

I think he's talking about the lack of a hinge, Poe's wrists look like they are just swivel because he has swap off hands for gloved or bare hands so I don't imagine there being a hinge anymore.

It's killing me that we can't seem to get a great sculpt of Oscar Isaac's likeness. I really like that actor a lot and was happy to be adding a character he played to my collection soon.

While this two pack version looks better than the individual (at least from these pictures) it's still Hasbro. I have yet to feel that any of the black series human faces are really good. The resemblance is there but it looks more like the character than the actor.
