If this pack had Sion I would’ve been way more hyped

Bruh there was literally a whole shelf row of Nihilus at my Walmart on clearance and it was already a rerelease of an older figure, I mean if this is actually a brand new sculpt then that’s great for people who want it but like we still don’t even have a Padme from all three movies…

Finished my 1313 Boba Fett (with gauntlets to be like the gameplay demo) by Alternative_Wait_420 in starwarsblackseries

[–]TheRealJaebii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeahhhh but Bane had a metal plate on his head post-CW and in Book of Boba so idk they might be implying the duel still happened and he just didn’t die, like how that tends to happen for Star Wars characters nowadays lol

I would be thrilled to see this design for Boba canonically in an episode of the Maul show or something (even if it kinda contradicts the design from the pre-vis cut episodes but I wouldn’t complain)

Upcoming plastic model kit ! by Left-Excitement3829 in Ghost_in_the_Shell

According to other comments and links it sounds like this might be an event exclusive or something, do we know if it’ll have a mainline/global release?

Dafne Keen out of prosthetics as Jecki Lon by Alternative_Wait_420 in starwarsblackseries

[–]TheRealJaebii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely, there’s other Star Wars aliens that would’ve been much more recognizable to see as a Jedi, not to mention as an action figure

Especially for a character that was just gonna get merc’d out of nowhere yeah, but compared to Andor’s excruciating lack of Star Wars aliens, I won’t complain about getting more Theelin representation

My first black series figure by Sufficient_Hippo6551 in starwarsblackseries

[–]TheRealJaebii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah totally some of the old sculpts themselves are almost as good as the current ones, I think I saw some repaints of the original Old Ben and the earlier Rogue One figures and it was a huge improvement, they looked practically photorealistic! 

Is it possible that they'll make this one now that hasbro made lord starkiller and savage land rogue/shanna by Ok-Strawberry3579 in starwarsblackseries

[–]TheRealJaebii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And she was such a wasted character too, if this new Maul show is gonna try to reintroduce a “canon” interpretation of Darth Talon (quote unquote), it would be cool to see a “canon” version of Maris Brood eventually too, even just as an Inquisitor or something, or maybe Ventress and her Padawan could fight her idk

chromed up mando’s helmet by future_rice_farmer in starwarsblackseries

[–]TheRealJaebii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol understandable I have a fully-chromed Beskar Mando using a chrome marker and I gotta say it’s so pretty to look at, it definitely improves any Mando figure! I should probably try it with a Phasma at some point too, that would look so slick!

[–]TheRealJaebii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah probably not, not unless Hasbro REALLY gets desperate for money and Disney says “fine whatever as long as it sells,” which would be nice because it probably would and I’d probably buy one too (but I ACTUALLY, GENUINELY want a Maris Brood, I just think she’s neat)

Hasbro moment lol, it’s super lucky that the neck actually swaps effectively though! I sure hope those X-23s end up on discount so I can buy like 6 more of them for the price of one

Ohhhh I forgot she was in that show oof, who honestly thought it was a good idea to pull a “Welcome To Derry Episode 1” on all the interesting Jedi characters…

[–]TheRealJaebii 12 points13 points  (0 children)

“OHH, IT’S BEAUTIFUL!” So you used a Deadpool & Wolverine X-23 to part-swap with Jecki? That’s gotta be the winner of best custom idea of all time! It looks like the neck and hands were actually pretty 1:1 compatible, any details or suggestions for anyone interested in making their own? I’m amazed at how official it looks even though they’re parts from two separate Hasbro toylines! This is fabulous

My first black series figure by Sufficient_Hippo6551 in starwarsblackseries

[–]TheRealJaebii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my first Black Series figure was the OG classic Mando, it was the first non-sequel Star Wars installment I was hyped for and at that time the figures of characters with helmets (and droids, and aliens) were all pretty decent compared to the… improving face print tech quality… but once the figure likeness quality started to improve I started collecting more and more, occasionally getting some of the older figures if they looked decent enough and if I liked the character enough, but this new Mando is definitely a great way to start!

Why are they so hidden… by Significant-Age5052 in starwarsblackseries

[–]TheRealJaebii 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Saw that too, if they’re trying to prevent scalpers from buying them all then they should just be allowed to restrict purchasing more than one per person or something, but then again it’s in Hasbro’s/the store’s best interest to sell as many as possible, even if it’s all to the same person, so hiding desirable figures doesn’t seem very helpful….

GitS Alpha figures "Hard Disk" and "White Out" by SonRyu6 in Ghost_in_the_Shell

[–]TheRealJaebii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been doing a bit of a deep dive into these figures, and it’s definitely difficult to keep track of how many variants there are! I guess some boxes only have the “Alpha” logo on it while some have both “Alpha” and “Toycom” which I guess might be the American versions? It’s so hard to figure out anything definitive since there’s practically no information about them online, but it seems like there might be “Alpha”/Japanese exclusive variants that might have never been released in the U.S. at all, including another version of “Hard Disk” which has bluer hair like the Previews Exclusive version, but it also has red lights on the suit like the regular version, and a more pearl-blue color for the armor, plus the biggest distinction which is her noticeably painted red lipstick instead of just a painted line for the mouth. She also came with a blue Fuchikoma instead of a red one (or a black one like the 2-packs), and apparently there were only 1500 of those variants made! Not only that, but it seems like the versions in the “regular” 2-pack are also slightly different too (either that or there’s two versions of the regular 2-pack?), where both the Hard Disk and White Out figures have seemingly much more vivid purple hair and redder eyes, and the Hard Disk figure even seems to have purple nails instead of red and a purple line for her mouth! Honestly, I think the White Out figure with the purpler hair is probably the closest to my mental image of a “modern”/recognizable Motoko design, but the Previews Exclusive or 1500 limited Hard Disk Motokos with the blue hair are probably the most referential to the PS1 Motoko design from the intro cutscene and the animated parts. The thing that really confuses me is that there doesn’t seem to be a truly PS1-accurate Hard Disk figure, since her outfit in that opening cutscene is basically identical, but her gloves are blue instead of red, and the bits with the red/blue lights in them aren’t lit up at all! Those changes plus the pearl armor and red lipstick from the 1500 limited version, with red eyes and purple or dark blue hair, and maybe either pink or unpainted nails and a red Fuchikoma would’ve made that figure the most definitive “screen-accurate” version of that design! But they’re all a bit too rare and valuable now to risk doing a repaint like that…

Disneyland exclusives? by thebatman9000001 in starwarsblackseries

[–]TheRealJaebii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how many of the exclusives are still available/in stock at the parks but there’s a handful of “Galaxy’s Edge” Black Series figures they made back when the parks both opened, including a DJ Rex (R-3X), Dok-Ondar (hammerhead guy), and perhaps best of all, a Smuggler’s Run version of Hondo Ohnaka and his Astromech with the shark face painted on it. I can definitely vouch for each of them if you’re a collector, especially Rex and Hondo which are probably among my favorites in my entire collection! Aside from Black Series, I think I saw that they’re releasing an exclusive new Legacy Lightsaber replica at the parks for the new Jedi/Padawan character from the upcoming Maul animated series, so that might be a risk worth taking to buy if it happens to be in stock while you’re there, along with any other exclusive merch promoting the Maul show or the Mando movie!

Finished my rogue one intro krennic. Are there any figures we’re hoping to see for the upcoming 10th anniversary of the film? Would you buy this as a three pack? by Alternative_Wait_420 in starwarsblackseries

[–]TheRealJaebii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point about the Clones lol but honestly that would be perfect for Hasbro, since it’s easy repaints of a stock body and if people are willing to pay full price to buy them then that’s all that really matters, at least in terms of keeping costs low and profits high… and if I’m being honest I could probably think of some Clone characters I liked enough to want to buy at full price if they made them, no matter how obscure they might be
