>>6185857

Why would you put the worst fucking characters in Star Wars on the packaging?

Especially Poe "I'm actually supposed to be dead but thanks to shitty scriptwriting I'm not" Dameron?

>>6186066
poe's the best new character though.

but rey's new haircut is a definite downgrade

>>6185973
It really is so much better with the Black series robe.

So, I don't know if this is something anyone has pointed out before, but I was thinking about how people were commenting about how the First Order Stormtrooper helmets look like duck beaks, and it got me thinking...what if that was intentional?

>>6186235
>Jar Jar has some awesome detail on every part of his body
>ipadtrooper is just an awful chunky mess

>>6186066
I agree that Hasbro should personally consult with you, manchild posting on the toy section of a taiwanese flipbook forum, about what characters to put on their packaging.

>Baze and Chirrut still not out

This is taking forever

>>6186066
>Why would you put the worst fucking characters in Star Wars on the packaging
Because they're the protagonists of the sequel trilogy you mongoloid.

Well sure, when you've finished killing off the good characters and these leftovers are all you're left with...

>>6186310
I haven't even gotten the Revan wave yet, and I had to luck into online ordering the repack of Ahsoka when she wasn't going for $30 at walmart.com.

>>6186518
BLACKED

for those who have him, how/where did you get your darth revan, and for how much?
Is there any hope for him to come around under $30, or should I get him now before he gets up past $80 like the 4"?

>>6187019
What I did find a store that was still receiving the stock of the wave and asked nicely (since it's usually not done) to put down a deposit for him at retail price + shipping. Took a few weeks but I got him.

I'm not from the US though so I'm not sure what options are available to you there but places like hobby stores sometimes receive stock of Black Series so you could start there.

>>6186245
I actually like the new troopers a lot, but they're literally the only thing I liked about TFA.

I'd actually contend there are no bad trooper designs in any of the films to date.

I mean if you need her to bite the tips off cigars I guess...

>>6185878
>Can't unsee

Someone photoshop the beard onto her.


Looks alot better with longer hair though.

All this 40th anniversary stuff is awful. It's embarrassing. It's like a game of what can Hasbro do to top how bad they are and it just keeps getting worse.

>>6187235

I'm waiting for the action figures themselves to just be NERF darts with faces printed on them.

>>6187249
Don't give them ideas!.


I've managed to pick up 4 Shoretroopers and 2 Deathtroopers but obviously I need Rebel troopers like in Rogue One. To my knowledge there isn't any Rebel figures that look like that, so what's the best option?

Will Endor troopers do?

>>6187004
FUCK YOU

SHE'S PURE

>>6186066

>Why would you put the worst fucking characters in Star Wars on the packaging?

Why would you put the central characters of the movie you're trying to promote on the merchandise of said characters from that movie?

I don't know. Maybe if you autist harder Disney will sell Star Wars back to Lucas and they'll make a whole EU trilogy revolving around Boba Fett and Sandakin Skywalker just to please you.

>>6187543
Aren't there already plans for at least one solo Boba Fett movie?

I WANT REVAN REEEEEEEEEE

>>6187562
He's really not the best and it's purely because of his hood. He needs to be modded to meet his full potential. Biggest thing he has going for him is that he's Revan

>>6187553

He got his ass kicked by a blind guy and got eaten by a hole in the ground.

So...yeah, probably.

It was pretty far into pre-production when Josh Trank killed himself, so presumably all they have to do is start over with a new director.

>>6185749
Got MAFEX Kylo REEEEEEEEEN in the mail, looking forward to that.

>>6187680

People really need to stop perpetuating this myth that Boba Fett was some sort of badass

>>6187664
couldn't you take the hood off and give him a custom cloth? I thought I saw some pictures

>>6187764
You can, but you need to hack the plastic hood off first, not fucking that up in the process, have a spare cloak with hood laying around, and then glue it on properly. It's a fair amount of work to fix just one issue with him. I think he's got more problems than just the hood like >>6187664 said, but he's right about that last part.

>>6187718
he was a badass in the now-defunct EU

I've never been a bobafag but you can't expect people to just forget about those stories even if they aren't canon

Who cares if he is badass or not.

He looks badass, and that's all that matters to me in a toy.

I'd love to see something official come of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYkL3orBoA8 but I doubt Disney could pull it off.

>>6187847
There are Jedi's who could force jump planet to planet in one story.

It got DBZ level stupid. But unlike DBZ where the joke is the powerlevel bullshit EU just shat itself.

>>6187876

>Who cares if he is badass or not. He looks badass, and that's all that matters to me in a toy.

That would explain all the Phasma love

>>6187884
Still looking forward to her MAFEX.

That said, I suspect she might turn up in The Last Jedi as a more badass character. I'm basically picturing Norrington from the PotC sequels.

Anyone in the UK need TBS 3 3/4"?
My store has plenty of Cassian and Jyn if anyone needs them- in return I'd like TVC or TBS if you have them.

Looking for Kit Fisto specifically.

>>6187847
>>6187876
It's kind cooler if he isn't a badass though, just capable.
To be honest expanding his character in any direction will always piss someone off, since everyone had their own wild ideas on what kind of a guy he was when they first saw him in Empire.

SH Figuarts C3PO and R2 scheduled for July.

They're expensive as shit.

Ah nice to come back to the thread moving.... oh it's this argument again.

Was at walmart yesterday. Was suprised that they not only restocked their 3 3/4 black series after having nothing but a single Ackbar and Lando for half a year, but also were on sale for $9.99.

Phasma's shoulder and chest joints are very tight, and the plastic on the legs are a bit rubbery, but I'd say she'll alright. Was pleasantly surprised that she's actually taller than most figures, and not just a repaint of the basic ep.7 stormy.

Is it attached securely? Did you use any specific kind of super glue?

>>6188499
Not canonically (Legends canon that is)

>>6188509
Yeah those look great.

And yeah it's attached very securely. I can tug on it and it'll stay in there. As for the glue, any store bought super glue will work. You just need to apply the smallest amount to the tip of the cape.

Is Revan an exclusive or something? It's hard to believe how so few people actually manage to find him in stores (even with scalpers). This is Hasbro we're talking about, not Bandai Figuarts.

You can thank Mexican Han Solo and Strong Female Protagonist AND Finn for continuing to impede new toys making it to shelves.

>>6190183
Or they are mockups created months ago and Hasbro don't want them released because the figures/cards aren't like that.

>>6190210

We know there's a new Leia headsculpt but that's not in these pictures.

I can get TBS Obi Wan for £16 with free delivery, is that worth it?

Or should I wait till it clearances? Perhaps with the 40Th anniversary?

I haven't seen anything from that wave. I live in Phoenix, where one cannot drive for more than 3 miles without passing a Target or Walmart. Ahsoka was going for too much on eBay when e-tailers first got that wave, but she wasn't hard to find, once that wave actually started showing up in stores.

Of course nu-canon-hating vidjafags might make Revan the greatest scalperbait in a long time.

>>6187718
Nice Fanboys quote. I loved that movie.

>>6188321
Yeah. Why was he walking in the desert with such a non-straight forward manner? It's like he wants to die of dehydration. Also, why is his ship in the middle of the Desert? If we're supposed to be assuming that he's escaped the Sarrlacc, then it wouldn't be like he was EXPECTING everything to go to shit at the execution. It is a whack fan film trailer.

>>6190615
In my area it's literally just Poes, Finns, and Endor Hans on the shelves of all the walmarts. Other than that, I've only seen Rey, Jyn, and Kylo.

And I literally never saw any First Order Stormtroopers or Phasma. I didn't even realize they had 3.75 Series Black figures of those characters until a few days ago, browsing JediBusiness's figure archive.

>>6190701
There's a ton of Ackbar, Ahsoka, and TFA Leia here.

>>6190440
>Of course nu-canon-hating vidjafags might make Revan the greatest scalperbait in a long time.
Hey I loved the new shit, KOTOR is just really hard to beat and we haven't gotten ANYTHING in this scale.

I got Phasma >>6188292 a few days ago.

>>6190706
I've never seen Ahsoka in the wild, and had to keep checking walmart everyday until I got lucky enough when they were selling her for retail, and not $30. Still need royal guard.

I ended up getting Ahsoka on ebay for about 17 bucks shipped. Which was still better than spending the gas to drive around looking for one. But I think I found the culprit in my area. I live in San Diego, and I'm gonna be moving soon, so I figured I'd do a run around to the local comic shops, because I haven't really been to one for almost 8 years now.

Sure enough, several of the local comic shops had a bunch of the 3.75 Series Black figures, the 3.75 Marvel Universe figures, and the last few waves of G.I. Joes on their shelves, all for ridiculously high mark ups. And they all happen to be within a few blocks of the Targets and Walmarts of their areas. It just aided in reminding me why I don't shop at local comic and collectible shops anymore.

Though I did snag a 2002/3-ish Ephant Mon, Dexter Jettster, and Wind-up Spider Droid because they were at least cheaper than any Ebay listings I've seen.

>>6192241
I think it's the bright green skin color that valley's the uncanny.

Did they redo her headsculpt? Does seem a little better, as you say.

>>6192144
I also think the SHF has a great likeness, but I agree that the BS has an advantage here. The SHF looks way too dang calm, almost happy even! Just doesn't work for the character. Whereas I can see a kind of focused anger in the BS' expression.

I really want that hood-down mantle piece though, so I may end up grabbing this anyways, haha.

>>6192432
Keep an eye on the Walmart website, anon. They've periodically restocked the last two 3.75" waves on there (for example, the Royal Guard was in-stock the other day). They've got free store pick-up, and Walmart's store pick-up is pretty fast nowadays (used to be soooo slow when the first started offering it).

Around here, I haven't seen any of the 3.75" BS in-store except the first TFA wave, but I've managed to get everything I wanted through the website. Except Phasma, as they never stocked that wave, so like you I went to ebay and got her for 16 bucks shipped.

Yeah, it's a pretty consistent problem with a line full of people swinging swords and shooting guns. It sucks, but I don't know, what are you gonna do? We're probably not getting anything better until rebels has aged into nostalgia territory and toys are walking around on their own.

According to my local toy store, there is going to be released more KOTOR Black Series figures in the future although the next wave doesnt have any KOTOR so maybe after that.

Idk why they said this to me when I was talking about Black Series Darth Revan but with hope maybe they are right.

>>6198371
Huh, weird. Wasn't there a few minutes ago. Thanks anon.

>>6196410
I'm not even kidding they used cloth on him and Leia so they could have double joinyed elbows. Hasbro has to get their figures approved on an aesthetic level from Lucasfilm for their Star Wars figures and Marvel for their Legends line. Marvel is apparently cool with including as much articulation as possible. Lucasfilm on the other hand don't like seeing the cuts in the sculpt that articulation gives the figure. Hence we the elbows are hardly ever double jointed unless it is covered up by cloth. It's fucking retarded I know. I didn't believe it until I heard the other day listening to JediTempleArchives interview with Hasbro. The way Hasbro talked about it sounded like they weren't thrilled about how much Lucasfilm limits them either.

>>6198449
I've heard this too. It's extra weird for the marvel side, where the male figures get double elbows but the females don't. You got a link to that interview?

They talked about that at the start and kind of wiggled around it. They flat out said the two teams are in the same building, but other factors are at play. They said it's a misconception that the star wars team gets a bigger budget than legends in the same breath they mentioned bucks and mold reuse, so I'm assuming the paint is what takes a hit.

I picked this up at a flea market for ten bucks. I'm having a hard time figuring out who made it. It seems like a Sideshow clone trooper but some of the armor isn't the same. Anyone know?

>>6198662
pretty sure you scored a side show.
Just the 501'st.

>>6198653
Yeah I mean I sort of get it. You don't see the cuts in the kees too much if the figure is facing forward. Much less obvious than double joined elbows usually are. It's still kind of dumb since they market this as a collector line and collector's unanimously want double jointed elbows and don't give a shit it cuts up the sculpt a bit.

>>6195459
I want to get them too, but Amazon sill has them each for 35 dollars. Is distribution on them just fucked?

>>6198718
>It's still kind of dumb since they market this as a collector line and collector's unanimously want
That's the part that gets me, like who do they think they're selling stuff to? I understand being concerned about the quality of product when you're putting your license out there, and you only have to look at stuff like jakks to wish more companies gave a shit. This isn't that though, so I don't know why they're still cockblocking it.

>>6198730
camelcamelcamel says amazon themselves have never had them in stock, so I'm guessing they haven't even gotten their cases yet. The wave they're in is still pretty new.

Why does no one here buy the Die-Cast Elite Series that are a Disney Exclusive or whatever?

They look pretty neat, but no one talks about them here. Is the posability not that great or something?

Completely not touching the Black Series recards.

Big, heavy figures will surely make it hard to find those cards in good condition.

I also don't like how the figure crowds out the image behind it. Going to completely pass on the whole new wave.

>>6198944
I've heard they're shit. The joints get loose because they're metal, the paint on the human faces looks cartoony. I don't think Grievous could even stand at all.

>>6198969
They are. I've bought a few and I regret it.

The joints are either loose right out of the package, or they grow loose over time. The figures will fall over just by standing them on a shelf. As time passes the joints weaken the figure fall to the ground.

They also have a ton of screw holes in the back. The TFA stormtrooper has at least 6. It's pretty ugly.

>>6198991
Isn't that the case for most die-cast figures?

>>6198662
Looks like the leftovers from a custom project slapped together.

Head, chestpiece and shoulders appear to be from a Sideshow Phase II Clone. Arms, hands, belt, crotch and legs appear to be from a Sideshow classic Stormtrooper with paint weathering added by the previous owner. Can't place the feet, they may also be from a Sideshow Stormtrooper but with the soles painted white. Gun looks like it's from a Stormtrooper and not a Clone too.

What a truly weird thing to find for $10.

>>6198991
What the hell do you do, force poses beyond their limits or some shit? I'm not sure how yours just fall apart out of nowhere. Also you know that they come with stands too, right?

Also you bought the older ones. The new ones have covers over all of the screws, like K-2S0. There's even a new superior re-released Stormtrooper with screw covers and and orange shoulderpad to make him an "officer."

But the 12" Darth Vader (mislabled 10") looks absolutely dope and you can't see any screws because of his outfit covering everything. I think the appeal is the metal shine that you can only get from a die-cast, on top of a detailed quality paint job.

They basically should be fine as long as you treat them like a lightly-posable statue, or just leave them in the box.

But definitely only get droids or armored characters. The humans are fucking derped as fuck.

Basically with Elite series, they're either shit or they're fucking great. But the great ones tend to be the newer ones because they're improving things.

>>the 2010 3.74' falcon would be 400 bucks nowadays, same for the AT-AT

I feel like i'm missing something blindingly obvious here but don't know what. Why would the prices increase so much?

Oil has cratered for the past year and a half. Would it be the factory costs? I though Hasbro outsourced to a bunch of cheap Vietnam factories now?

It can't just be inflation, those vehicles weren't even made that long ago. Going from an msrp of $180 to over $400 in 8 years seems insane.

>>6198593

But why? Kids can't play with it and collectors can't display it because it bends. X-wing could do both.

About fucking time...

The case assortments for wave 1 of the 40th anniversary line is out. R2 and Han Solo are of course getting shortpacked because I guess putting in extras of the ones going for over a hundred on the secondary market and that haven't been on the shelves in years just makes too much sense.

>>6200175
Huh. Yeah, that's literally the worse option they could have gone with.

>>6199414
The global economy's being held up with matchsticks at this point. 2008 was actually the beginnings of a depression that makes the Great Depression look tame by comparison, but most people have been tricked by massive market, currency and real estate manipulation into thinking everything is going on as normal.

>>6200175
Who is in charge of case assortments at Hasbro? Because as far as Black Series go anyway I feel like they've been constantly shitting the bed. Jyn and Cassian have been included in every fucking wave since Rogue One came out except for one despite the fact they aren't selling. Finn was getting included in shit tons of waves last year despite not selling. Krennic isn't selling too well and they're packing him in more waves. I just feel like they're just doing the opposite of what seems like the obvious choice. Not sure why. I guess it can only be incompetence. Just feels like they hate making money almost.

>>6200232
And the fact of the "Where's Rey" debacle. Blame them.

Also the local ASDA only has Jyn and Cassian left 4 of each, does anyone in the UK want them?
I'm tempted to buy them and well them on but I know I'd have to jack up the price to cover delivery costs which sucks because I'm trying to help people out(and get other figures from ASDA because a scalper before got to Ahsoka and the ERG before I did)

But.... he was.

His accidental death doesn't take away from the facts:

*He's one of six bounty hunters summoned by Vader personally to do the job that the fleet couldn't. Not only should he be considered badass on that alone, his fellow hunters should too. This is something you would have to be simple to not comprehend.

*Makes demands of Vader without consequences. Vader even goes as far as appeasing him when he's unhappy with a decision.

*Nearly kills Luke twice. Also almost kills Chewbacca. In all three cases outside circumstances prevented these character's deaths.

For his brief screen time, he's immemsely important to The Empire Strikes Back. His death scene was stupid, but you'd have to be dense as hell to not notice that he earns his reputation in-film.

Any import companies planning to release a Jyn Erso figure or should I get the black series? It's only $8

>>6200951
Dead serious. Lucas may have written Fett off as just a dead bad guy, but there was a lot of importance intended for the character. There's a reason for the elaborate design, the way he carries himself, the respect he's shown by Vader. Han Solo practically shits himself when Chewie tells him Fett is close by.

>>6201306
I want a detailed Jyn Erso as well anon, none exist to my knowledge other than maybe Hot Toys

>>6201848
Lucas killed off Boba Fett because he became a fan favorite after his appearance in episode V. He has said that he intended for him to be despised as a cold calculating villian who values money more than human lives. But people actually liked Boba, so Lucas killed him off in the most humiliating way possible to show his disdain for how popular the character had become.

Just got my 40th anniversary R2, Ben and Leia today from HTS, the packaging looks pretty nice.

Never had the original Leia black series to compare to but the head looks above average for a black series.

They're using the names Kenner used back in the 1970s. Before we had Wookieepedia and all they had were some color photos of the main characters and black and white, non full body photos of some background characters with no names.

>>6202729

Probably references to the original carding if I were to take a wild, not going to actually look it up guess. But HEY! Black series Jawa! Fuck'n rad.

>>6202763
I was always confused about why Walrusman, Yakface, Pruneface, and Hammerhead were all in parenthesis on the cards of their respective POTF2 figures. It wasn't until fairly recently that I discovered that they were names that Kenner basically just made up because there was no actual official canon names for these background characters at the time.

I think their first couple releases in the line were sort of shit, and they knew it. Even fans panned vader, and everybody knew the first stormtrooper was way off.

>>6204082

Noticed the Shadow Trooper is down to sensible prices after the Death Trooper released, been thinking of picking a couple up. Still prefer the classic Blackhole design to the Death Trooper.

The original RotJ Stormtroopers are far from perfect, but I still like them for some inexplicable reason. You can get decent poses out of them with work, and the elbows will go a little further than 90 with some coaxing. You have to rotate the forearm guard to where it's the most scalloped-out and push the top hinge as far as it'll go before moving the bottom hinge. Also I don't know if it's because they were making these in far smaller batches to start with, but they are just really, REALLY nicely-made. I've got several and they're all perfect QC-wise right across the board. The only figure in the line better-made is the Scout Biker.

The R1 versions are all-round better figures, though, and come with way more accessories.

>>6204218
>Noticed the Shadow Trooper is down to sensible prices after the Death Trooper released

Yeah, I see they're down to ¥4500. When I ordered mine they were ¥5000. I got him with another Rogue One trooper for ¥3500.

Crazy to think they were ¥7000-8000 a few months ago.

>>6204218
>The R1 versions are all-round better figures, though, and come with way more accessories.
Yeah, the thick cannon they come with is great, I'm loving it way more than the regular blaster or the totally-not-a-MG3. I'm a little bummed he doesn't have a holster, but I guess that's the rogue one design.

And you said you have the scout, how is he? I enjoy the hell out of the black series one, but the price on the figuarts scared me off. Is he worth it if I can find one for <10k on mandarake?

He's worth the 15k in my opinion. That's only 3k over the odds of the retail place IIRC, I expected they'd have gone up further. The figure is flawless, the bike is nothing short of astonishing. If you like really well-made, quality display pieces it's worth the cash.

>>6204254
>>6204259
As great as he may be, that's a lot of cash for what is essentially an army builder type figure, I hope they do a single release scout trooper so I have a chance to buy a few.

I've got the Black Series and I'm happy enough it.

That'll be a headscratcher for ages, it's like they made absolutely sure to make all three of them different sizes. The anh head does look way better though, no question. I donno about good, but better than the revan wave one.

It's an improvement, but it's still not up to even marvel legends quality. And I know it's like a broken record at this point, but I really don't see why they can't make that tiny improvement. Somebody even asked in that interview from toyfair and they just kind of dodged the question.

Trying to decide between S.H. Figuarts and Black Series K-2SO, thoughts? Figuarts seems to have a fair bit more detail and is more to proper 1:12 scale, but is it approx. $40 worth of difference?

>>6204959
>but is it approx. $40 worth of difference?

Not in the slightest.

>>6202916
Kill yourself

>>6204959
I mean it depends.. are you willing to pay extra to have it be as precise as possible? Get Figuarts. Do you not care (or not care that much) and you're just trying to get something to throw in your collection? Get Black Series.

>>6204991
Samsfagging to add that you probably wont notice the shortcomings with the Black Series unless you have a figuarts there to compare it to, so you could probably just save some money there and get Black Series.

>>6204995
Black Series looks just fine standing with my Figuarts guys. I mean, how "screen accurate" does K2SO even need to be? Not very, in my opinion.

For Black Series that's pretty good. Honestly it's probably the closest Hasbro has ever gotten to Carrie Fisher's likeness. The Ben Kenobi looks really good too.

>>6204959
I'm alittle bit of a Figuartsfag, but I only have the Black Series K2 and I fucking love it.

>>6204959
Depends really. Do you like quality engineering? If so, go for the SHF. If not, go for the BS.

>>6204444
Not sure in Europe but ASDA just got this in a few weeks ago. Got four so far.

>>6204959
I'm with >>6205172. There's nothing wrong with Figuarts K2 (besides maybe a lack of weathering) but you really don't get much with him to be worth the extra $40. There's also the fact that Black Series K2 happens to be one of the best figures Hasbro's made in years.

>>6204254

I hate how plasticy that looks. Like no proper texturing, just that ugly 'hard plastic' look.

You'd be wrong then, one of the most impressive things about it in-hand is how every part has a different texture. The armour sections are all painted a high-gloss white, the boots are a flat white, the grey parts of the armour and the soles of the boots even have a very subtle wash on them. The black sections even have some variation thanks to very sharp casting.

Just got an email saying my figuarts Solo is ready to ship.

pretty much all the models of the humans look that way.
Very stiff and lifeless.

Reminds me of Jakks' giant figures.

>>6205327
I hope Bandai releases an updated Rogue One Vader model with softgoods cape (or at least the same material on Kylo Ren's robes). Pretty much the perfect 6" Vader except for that one flaw.

>>6205332
I was actually referring to Vader's pants and quilting, not the cape.
And i just noticed that Scout Trooper is actually a Figuarts, not a model.

That's really bad looking.

>>6204664
People complained about how tiny Slave Leia was so they overcompensated for Boussh and mare her gigantic so people complained again and now she's half way between those two in size.
I hope the stick with this height for any further versions.

What's the best alternative? Obviously 3PO doesn't move much so articulation isn't a huge concern here.

>>6206672

Model kit for price and dat chrome, MAFEX if you know how to fix it and don't plan to pose it too much. That one also comes with the best R2, but he's pricier due to it.

Figuarts looks nice, but it's not out yet so we'll see how it actually turns out. Revoltech if you want something silly and looks like the old Droids cartoon.

I already have a Black Series Han and I keep going back and forth on whether I should get the Figuarts. Help me /toy/!

>>6206835
I'd pass if I were you. I am.

I just got payment request for SHF han. This is my first time ordering from Nippon so I added the Mafex Boba Fett rotj version too. Perfect duo.

Should I also add the Mafex Vader to my order? Is he really that good? Price is hard to argue with. I have the BS one and I hate it.

Anything else I should get star wars related? This will likely be my one and only order for a while.

>>6207051
If you don't like BS Vader, Mafex is your best option IMO. The Figuarts is scaled poorly, the Bandai model requires modding to look right, and the less said about the Revoltech the better.

>>6207071
Thanks. I just looked at a few video reviews and he looks great, miles better than my BS one at least. God now theres more that I want, thinking about picking up the SHF RO Stormie now.

>>6207964
It's an improvement but it's still horribly sloppy. Even their older 1/18 stuff looked better.

If they switched to digital printing or whatever Mezco's doing for faces like Spock and Frank, I suspect most people would be willing to pay a few dollars extra.

Thoughts using this spray paint brand on bandai star wars model kits?

Figuarts or Black Series Shoretrooper?

>>6208126
Just because there isn't a "better" version doesn't make the "best" version "good".

>>6208450
Black Series.

>>6207868
It's looking like the 25 I paid at BBTS is a steal at this point, unless they do decide to go ahead with full cases of Revan, he's never gonna be easily available.

So, after a month of looking, I finally found a Series Black AT-ST at my local Walmart. The only down side? It had obviously been opened and resealed. I was worried, but I inspected it carefully, and even though everything had been cut free of the ties, and were loose and rattling around in the box, for the most part it still seemed legit.

So I bought it, and took it home, fooled around and further inspected it, and it all seemed fine. Not sure why it got returned. The only thing wrong with it, was the screen accurate front cannon was misassembled, but I was easily able to pop it off and flip it over.

Also, some Anon earlier this month said something about the legs being sturdier on this version than the previous one, but it seems about the same to me.

>>6208499
Not the point, you literally said there was a better version, and there's not. Therefore my original words of "the best" hold true.

"Digital" prints look like shit and should never be used, at least, not alone.

Mezco still uses spray masks and shading, which Hasbro does too. Mezco spends more on it though.
