I'm surprised the mando Snowtrooper comes with the classic helmet with mouth cover. I might actually get this then because I can't resist dirty troopers.
But what the hell is going on with the kama? Is this ai slop? It's a plastic piece, no way it can move like that...

>>11798762
I went to Black Series when the 3.75" started becoming 5POA. Then around 2022 I began buying TVC because the articulation was finally good enough and I was splitting my budget between the two lines pretty equally. Now I'm pretty much just TVC because BS kept raising prices and removing articulation without really giving much in terms of value. Plus TVC is a lot more fun with all the creatures, playsets, and vehicles.

>>11798687
I actually don't have any Snowtroopers somehow, Imissed grabbing them during the ESB anniversary, so I'll grab one of this guy. I won't lie, the fact that you can mix and match helmets is really tempting to grab a second one as well.
>>
>>
>>11798863
Yeah, no one with a better articulation set-up is gonna do a snowtrooper, and if they did they sure as hell wouldn't be at an armybuilder price.
I may be able to wring some more range out of them, it works with Classified, it may be doable here.

Snowtrooper one looks very strange, there's folds and creases in the crouching kama that aren't in the standing pose. It almost looks like two swappable pieces.
I've had two snowtroopers from black series and weirdly, one was thick and very solid kama that basically made him into a standee instead of an action figure and the other was a soft and supple plastic that would easily open up for any kind of pose.
>>
>>11798687
What would be the ideal material for a soft goods snowtrooper kama anyways? I've seen them with both a fabric texture and a synthetic texture. Does it vary by rank? I've never had a good eye for costume detail.

>>11798944
Okay! But the echo isn't as big as the one from your mom's box
>>11798945
Yep. It's funny too, you see them desperately leaking "suggestions" to see how the public reacts. Those youtube retards served as "useful idiots" when they had proxies reach out to them and "leak" "plans" to "reboot" the sequels just to do market research and see what the community actually thinks of the idea. In the long run, I simply don't fucking care. You had ONE CHANCE to bring back Hamill, Fisher & Ford, you don't get a "do-over" from me, I'll wait for the fans to do an AI fan film instead.
>>
>>11798673
Repacking that sandtrooper is so retarded. The backpack is oversized, the belt is wrong, the weathering paint apps are terrible, and we know they can do better because of the remnant stormies have much better weathering. And they still did not update the hips.

The best part of that is that in the announcement that the EU was ending they literally stated they were still going to keep publishing the books with the Legends label, so the people who came up with this conspiracy theory didn't even bother to read the initial announcement and just assumed bookstores were going to burn all non-Disney or something

I really don't get why they are so harsh on it. It is really just for fans of the show. Had good development for Grogu and gave Mando a wake up call to the reality of his relationship. And I guess the sword for the new black series mando and grogu was literally nothing?

This was the biggest lie I believed because I saw it thrown around so often. They bought it outright and Lucas gets no risiduals. There is no monetary incentive to withhold products with OT and PT content. Which makes the state of Star Wars toys since Disney even more frustrating.

My desert land speeder FINALLY came in (I fucking hate eBay sellers that take more than 3 days to ship! This one took like 5 days!)
It's pretty good for less than $20, though I already lost a missile lmao! It's a bit smaller than I thought, but still good for the price point.
Man, some of the random vehicles from Disney era have been pretty decent and cheap.
>>
>>11799525
Pretty cool! 3.75 scale vehicles are fun and the whole point of the scale. I still have an old landspeeder because I find the springy wheel "hover" gimmick so much fun. Vehicles with spring missiles are also pretty great though. Hopefully you find it.

I was worried that if they used the deluxe IG-12 body as the basis for a new IG-11 that they'd also make it a deluxe so seeing it as a regular release is a relief, because that means that the inevitable IG-88 is likely going to be a regular release
>>
>>11799632
I accept your surrender.
Also, your retarded ass accusation doesn't even make sense; Disney is paying me to push sales of a 10 year old toy, that is only available from second hand sellers, and that wasn't even in the movies, that are rumored to get retconned??
>>
>>11799651
>that are rumored to get retconned?
Why did this become a thing recently? I know people have been wishing for the ST to get retconned for years but why did it suddenly blow up to the point where people genuinely believe it's going to happen?
>>
>>11799659
*Shrugs*
Cope? Willing it into existence?
I mean, the direction SW is going has been bad, something HAS got to give, and resetting the canon (again) doesn't seem like the worst idea, as they DID do it once already. I mean, what do we lose of any value? Mandalorian S1? Even that one had issues, just axe it all and reboot it.
I will say, though, that as long as Filoni is there, it would be for naught.
(Anybody that believes Filoni is the future of SW are the biggest fools around!)
>>
>>11799670
I'm not saying we need to keep the current canon, but I just don't see any reason why Disney would ever drop it, or why in the last like 3 weeks everyone's suddenly talking about it like it's a sure thing.
>>
>>11799672
>Why they would drop it
It's poison! Every movie after TLJ has been doing worse and worse. Their only hit (mandalorian) is now dog water.
Even theTOYS are suffering!
Ahsoka? CHOKING shelves to this day!
Acolyte? Laughed when they were on pegs, and you can basically buy any figure from that series at Ross/discount stores for a quarter of the price or less.
Skeletal Crew? I kid you not, they went straight to the discount stores!!
It's also MUCH easier to do something else that conflicts with that canon, than to try to work around it (mando did, and look at how well that show turned out!)
>Rumors
Hey, like I said, it could be cope.
>>
>>11799680
But what actual reason does Disney have for dropping it? Making that stuff non-canon doesn't change anything, it won't gain them any goodwill and it's not like you can do the sequels over again. The damage is done. There's zero incentive for them to drop any of this from canon.

Guys I need your wisdom and guidance. Since Hasbro has abandoned The 3.75 inch line I'm taking diy route on a Mission vao figure.
I'm gonna use the head from this figure but I need some suggestions for the body what do you recommend? I don't mind a full body suit I do have blue paint just throw in your best suggestions.

Are the heads swappable between the two Krennics? Because while the one on the right was reissued with updated photoreal, the Andor dress version on the left still manages to have a better skintone and photoreal than the reissue.
>>
>>11800288
NTA, but the rumor was that they were going hit the reset button on the sequels if Mando and Grogu didn't hit the numbers Disney wanted it to. It didn't, but time will ultimately tell. I don't feel like they really have anything to lose by throwing it out though, literally no one likes those movies regardless of how they feel about Disney canon as a whole.

In that pic, the one on the right is the original Rogue One release, but while the recent reissue is better, it's still not as nice looking as the Andor dress uniform version in that pic which somehow had sharper details on the photoreal and a better choice of color for the plastic skintone. Pic-related is the original compared to the reissue.

If it were me, I would:
>Get two of those Aaylas
>Get new Padme
>Remove head, torso, arms, and legs at the thigh swivel on Padme and both right arms from Aaylas
>Dye torso and leg pieces black
>Paint hip and upper leg pieces gray
>Assemble back together (the sculpt of Aayla's arm is pretty simple and you shouldn't notice that it's just been flipped around other than that it won't quite rest as close to her body as the other one)
>Find some bit of plastic and cut it into strips to glue around where the cut for the thigh swivel is create the cuff of her boots
>Glue on some Gundam pieces for the kneepads
>Source a vest (Aphra is probably the best bet) and repaint it
Also if I may suggest just getting this Mission Vao head form Scoundrel's Stock.

From the OT probably. Though maybe not with every single background character that was in the scene present. Not sure about PT. There's a number of small scenes with rando minor characters. I thought about some like Ric Ollie talking to Anakin, Sio Bible talking about invasion, Sly Moore being told to leave for the tragedy of Darth Plgaueis. But I just checked and all three of them actually do have figures kek though they can't sit which they were doing so in most of their scenes.
Also thought about scenes without characters that would need a diorama like the Falcon flying out of the Exogorth. While I don't think Hasbro ever made one, there seems to be a statue that would cover it. Is there any character from the 6 films with a speaking part that doesn't have a 3.75" figure? Even Sleazebagganno has one. Maybe it is possible if you are allowed to use everything like statues and christmas tree ornaments and stuff like that. Can't think of what scenes wouldn't be possible off the top of my head.
>>
>>
>>
>>11800860
Oh Padme giving birth. I don't think anyone ever made that nintendo controller face droid. But again yeah PT might not be possible but I feel like OT is
>>11800854
We're still missing like a third of the Cantina patrons alone
Are you counting just modern lines or everything since kenner? I think you can do all of the action and dialogue scenes which is what would matter most. It would be impossible to 100% every background extra
>>11800863
You primarily just need Motti and Tarkin for that scene but we do have others to fill the chairs. They made a battlepack specifically for that meeting didn't they? Don't know that it included every officer though but the way I am thinking about it, if someone were to make a stop motion and have the right figure for every dialogue and action, that is close enough for this hypothetical recreation

I recommend just sticking to your favorite characters. Less is more. Have your small HT display tell a story.
If you start buying troopers, secondary characters, etc, it turns into a mess and it's still expensive and the need for space becomes a real issue.
My HT display now is only Qui Gon-Obi Wan-Anakin/Vader-Luke with the latter 3 having multiple iterations. I have 1/12 for the larger scope of Star Wars.
>>
>>11801627
I actually have a sneaking suspicion that we will be seeing plenty of M&G TVC at Ross, soon enough, because I've only seen them on shelves for a single case, if even, unlike the other wave that had two or more cases each store.
I jumped the gun and bought the remnant troopers, but I won't say no to a second of each at $5 each. The inquisitors would be nice at that price point as well :p
I'm also holding out on Shak-ti at Ross as well lmao

I think so. Maybe they realized one per year is not sustainable especially after the last few couldn’t unlock all the tiers. And/or beginning of tariffs fucked some things when they were planning, though things seem to have cooled down a little now

It's hilarious how bad it is. It's almost as bad as the whole Reva push. Just nosedive into fucked-dom. The toys are not selling at all, Target's sitting on all the Black Series crap, all the Grogu crap. People don't want it. Or at least, they're okay waiting until deep clearance.
Star Wars' future is grim.

They need to uncouple themselves from the idea of having the Haslabs be big ticket items and use them to crowdfund fan pleasers that don't translate to mass market. Make a TVC wave specifically for the people who want every single background cantina patron. Give us a KotOR wave, or one for Andor, Skeleton Crew, or some area of the EU. Eight figure batches or thereabouts so the pledge costs and tiers don't get too crazy. Everyone is broke because the dollar is cratering and collectors who did the previous Haslabs don't have space for a sixth fuckhuge ship or playset so only do those every five years or something.
>>
>>11802496
Honestly we're also running out of viable options. There's only so many ships/playsets that people will want to shell out big bucks for. The gunship struggled to make it to the end and even with a last minute FOMO push it still only unlocked one tier. I think doing a collection of figures would be a smarter idea, though even then I'd rather they do it as a made-to-order thing like they've been doing with Marvel Legends as opposed to a crowdfund that needs to hit X number of goals.

They are in panic mode because they suffered way too many losses. I don’t get how the industry works but it’s clear any of those companies can afford some misses.
Disney has been repeatedly missing for a decade and not just with Star Wars. They are being forced to admit their “creative” ideas don’t work even with a famous IP and are running out of chances.
So rather than being in panic because those aren’t doing money, they dished them out because they were in panic and that’s all they had some faith in. Now we are just seeing the mask of confidence they put up fall apart since that emergency button they had failed.
Mandalorian wasn’t even bad I’ll give them that. But it isn’t something that good either. Personally I didn’t recommend to anyone.

Also anyone who wasn't already a fan of the show probably didn't want to go see this. It's weird that they went out of their way to tailor it as a one-shot story specifically so that they wouldn't alienate non-viewers but those non-viewers have zero reason to care in the first place.

According to Wikipedia it's $165m, with a current box office of $246.6m. Not sure what the marketing costs, but unless it was close to $100m which I doubt, it's on track to make a small profit. It's kind of weird that people keep comparing it to Solo when a big part of Solo's problem was how expensive it was due to having to reshoot almost the entire movie. M&G doesn't even have to do Solo numbers to be profitable.
But honestly none of this matters without knowing just what Disney themselves were expecting. If they expected this to make $500m+ they'd be complete idiots setting themselves up for disappointment. The fact that they didn't seem to want to spend all that much on this movie tells me they're expecting a modest profit and not a huge blockbuster.
M&G is probably going to do okay. Not amazing, not great, but just okay. The bigger problem though is that Disney has another big SW movie on the horizon and they probably released M&G as a low budget test to see if there's still any enthusiasm for a theatrical Star Wars movie after all these years. There isn't, it's clear that the brand is still in trouble and you can't just slap Star Wars on something and have it print money. Starfighter doesn't even have the benefit of being connected to a popular show, and Ryan Gosling is only going to draw in so many people. So the problem for Disney isn't that M&G wasn't a massive hit, it's that Starfighter is now being set up for failure.

a bunch of $30-$60 figures of characters we've been getting for 45 years
why can't we just make 3 3/4" figures the mainline again? everything's gotta expensive, like who's paying for this shit? besides the troopers it all ends up in liquidation stores, why are cheap sub $10 toys so taboo? get excited to give the GOOD people at Hasbro and Disney thousand of dollars every other month

I picked up the Blokees Stormtrooper, well specifically the disguised Han Solo, out of curiosity after seeing how hard Blokees is being shilled lately. The people saying these are better than Hasbro are retarded or are blinded by the price and the couple extra not particularly useful accessories you get. I mean yeah for $15 it's a nice toy but still has a lot of the problems of a model kit. Plus it just doesn't look good or accurate. I'm not going to collect these or get them over Black Series.
>>
>>11806916
Anon, when considering the overall grade of an item, price is a very big factor, and shouldn't be disregarded. I know for a FACT that if even the "perfect" toy was $10,000, then it would be anything but.
What Blokees offers is very good.

Here is an older picture I took a few years ago of the Combat Assault Tank and the troopers that do not come with it. I haven't checked in awhile, but the price on them used to be silly expensive in the TVC. I ended up picking up the Jedha Revolt Pack for the pilot and TVC Commander I pre ordered and got it at MSRP
>>
>>11806969
Sure it is a good product and high quality for the price. Maybe I downplayed that which I didn’t mean to. Considering the overall package it is solid value. But I don’t like it as an action figure and would get more satisfaction from a Hasbro figure. Black series can be bought for a few bucks more especially since they always go on sale and feel much better to play with, the joints feel better to move, and I’m pretty sure there is better articulation in certain areas on the TBS stormtrooper.
As for looks, I guess that is subjective but I don’t think it looks that good because it’s sort of cartoony. The shoulders are very broad, the helmet is off, the way the armor is sculpted doesn’t seem to quite match any particular source material. It’s like their own stylization. Which is fine, I just prefer screen accuracy. But I think objectively ugly are the knee joints. They are very thin and look ridiculous. It’s still cool but not my definitive Stormtrooper fig.
>>11806980
I think it’s fine to like 'em, they are good products. But some are acting like these are the best toys ever. In the price range? Perhaps. But that should be specified. Plus they are model kits so really I’m not sure if they should even be compared to regular figures because both feel very different.

If you want accuracy get the bandai model
But that kit is just bare minimal in the extra
Like the usually bandai fashion, they don't even give you closed fists, which does make the blokee one better toy overall having full choices of hands

Honestly, I don't buy Hot Toys and don't want some hybrid LA/cartoon Ahsoka anyway, but I don't like seeing companies cave to a vocal minority of permaonlines, especially for a figure they've already partially released and the aftermarket has now exploded on. All the reddit threads about this are basically celebrating it. Saw one guy saying because this worked, they should go raid the anime collecting subreddits.

I'm not that anon, anon, so nothing I said was untrue, as it was a general statement, as seen by "as anons here reported the preorders drying up quickly." Which you've failed to read for the second time. But then again, you are a disingenuous faggot that doesn't even own toys.

>>11808702
Second one is wrong, because even if I myself was not going to buy the figure, I know that others were, and for them to be denied because of some third party grifters means that I might get denied because of some third party grifters. It's bad enough that we already have scalpers, but at least they are more upfront about being third party grifters, unlike these others, who don't actually buy toys.
>11808699

You DEFINITELY never bought toys, AND you don't even know what is from which era lmao
>>
>>11808702
Eh, the people outraged over the figure were never going to buy it in the first place.
At least some of the people outraged by the outrage were going to buy it and now can't or are stuck paying $1000+ on ebay(a few have already sold for those prices). More importantly, they're concerned with the precedent it sets seeing a big figure company give in to a couple of hostile online comments.

I understand buying mandalorian toys but… Bo Katan? Really? Out of everyone Bo Katan?
Bo Katan is a blight to Mandalore lorewise and to the Mandalorian series writingwise. She is the reason we got on this mess.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>11809112
A lot of people have a Bo Katan figure. The character's been around long before the Mandalorian show existed or before Disney even bought Star Wars. It's not her fault the writing went to shit in Mando S3.
>>
>>
>>11807969
>So were any of you going to buy that shitty Ahsoka or are you just mad because of culture war shit
This general was shitting on the figure when it was revealed and saying anyone who wanted it was retarded, you really think they actually care about it?
>>
>>
>>11809260
Reminds of how all the people who were screaming and crying about Cara Dune being on-par strengthwise with Mando was Disney pushing a radical feminist agenda were suddenly declaring that they were always huge fans of hers when Carano got cancelled
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>11809112
To me, she's just a female mandalorian. In other words, the helmet stays on :p
After looking up her lore, though, and after mando s3, yeah, I'm guessing that she's yet another Filoni OC that he INSISTS is super important!
>>11809217
Unfortunately, they don't care about anything, or at least, what they do care about is so vapid and amorphous, that it's easily replaced.

I know no one cares but I'm really curious about what this is. The ultimate decked out clone has been a dream of mine for a long time. I know it will probably end up being disappointing but I would love if it was something like this:
>plain white armor, no markings
>phase 1 standard helmet
>phase 1 rangefinder helmet
>phase 2 standard helmet
>phase 2 binoculars helmet
>regular crew cut head, buzz cut, crew cut with beard/mustache
>backpack
>thermal detonators that can fit inside backpack
>DC-15 rifle and carbine
>DC-17 pistol
>z-6 rotary cannon
>RPS-6 rocket launcher
No way it will have all those accessories though. The rumor lists 3 pauldrons which seems unnecessary and I'm not sure if there are even that many variants? Maybe one is the Neyo/Airborne trooper chest straps I don't know what a third would be unless it's animated and movie versions.

The costume in that scene is strongly based on her second outfit from the animated series, except they toned it down as well. They removed the diamond-shaped holes in her pants and changed her top so it would show less skin.
Then they went on and approved that other figure. Someone's getting fired over this.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I’ve got some Bandai spirits models.
Pic related is one of them.
They’ve got sticker sheets and I want to do this right but Murphy’s law of everything going wrong will going wrong makes me want to be prepared with backups.
Any sources for printing digital copies of the stickers to be decals by chance?
Any tools for removing and applying the stickers properly?

it isn’t Star Wars but it’s like there is this feeling I missed so much. Something that most scifi lack that Star Wars does. This spirituality you know?
You think we will ever get back to those things? I know there is Jedi Survivor but even that I feel it lacks something compared to Old Republic and Jedi Academy. It’s like… there is a difference when the setting has more Jedi and Sith around and that helps nail these things better.
>>
>>11810464
Because people seem to react with "muh religion bad" with anything spiritual these days, even in fiction. I don't think it's completely gone though, it's just a matter of finding good writers who's into that stuff.
>>
>>11798672
Im fucking pissed. Not only should this retro collection six pack have been solicited online months ago since hasbro took way too long revealing the figures in the whole set, when it finally does go up for sale its a goddamn preorder. Theres no excuse for this sheer lazyness on hasbros part, the set should've been out by april or may after they first revealed garindan or whatever all those months back but it definitely shouldnt be a goddamn preorder. They absolutely could start shipping them now but hasbro is too lazy and inept to even be competent anymore. I fucking hate how everything is a preorder now. And target has some superfluous street date on the set for july 19 so even if they get it in stores before hand itll probably be register locked because target in particular are street date nazis. Fuck street dates and fuck preorders, their is no fucking excuse that this set which shouldve already been out months ago wont start shipping to us until a month and a half from when its first goes up for sale.
>>
>>
>>
>>11810506
Now that you mention it I think you are right. I never valued that stuff when I was a child, but it’s strangely fulfilling when a character has a creed or follows an order of sorts. It’s as if there is meaning in what he is doing, something he is carrying.
I’m not even a devout or anything deeper, but it’s like the difference from simply someone having powers and being a proper Jedi/Sith. It’s more than that.
>>
>>11810464
Notice how all these flops like mando and anbore and really majority of the stuff Disney has made do not have Jedi or lightsabers, at least not in a prominent way. Benching a core element of the franchise is retarded. Of course there is the High Republic and Acolyte filled with Jedi... But those feel like weirdo authors indulging their gay fetish fantasies, not real Star Wars. If I remember correctly there is a lot of weird sex positive messaging in the high republic books, even ones for kids. I think that is way creepier than a Hot Toys Ahsoka.

Mando wasn't a flop until the movie and that's more of a case of waiting three years to drop a continuation to a TV series that just felt like more of the same. The show was literally one of the most popular series in the world, even with it's decline in S3. Crapped all over jedi focused series like Obi-Wan and Ahsoka in viewership and reception.
>>
>>11810569
Mando as a series has a lot of spirituality though, between Grogu being Force sensitive and the Mandalorians being framed harder as a religious bunch, even more so than they were in the Clone Wars. Even Boba Fett's show played into this with Tuskens which was the best part of that series. The problem is that the rest of the franchise has been in this huge lull since the sequels and them not capitalizing hard enough on Mando's popularity until it was too late shows that timing is everything.
That said, on my periphery a bunch people I know are only just getting into SW completely blind thanks to the Mando movie.
>>
>>11810614
I get the feeling a lot of people are waiting for the movie to come to Disney+, it might make up for its theatrical bombing by having decent streaming numbers though I have no idea just how much of that translates into actual profit
>>
>>11810569
I like Maul. Though probably because it was the first time in years I finally saw these lightsaber combats back
>>11810577
>>11810614
This. Actually ironically S3 is the one that brings this best. Bo Katan kept talking about the traditions being theatrics to control people, but Mando goes on to explain that the Mandalorians were scattered like stars and the creed was the only thing uniting them. He was apostate, their way of life is what screwed him over to fulfill the mission for Grogu. He accepted and still went through it for his penitence. And then the following adventures with Bo Katan has her fumble here and there while Mando’s respect for other cultures like the engineers got them to help him.
The story messes up with the whole “Bo Katan belongs to both worlds!” “Bo Katan saw the Mythosaurus” “Bo Katan earned the Darksaber and shall unite the tribes!”
When you take Bo Katan out of focus, it’s actually doing a proper job with Mando teaching her mandalorian values that she gave no worth and show her how those things matter. His quest, apostasy and redemption indirectly reunited the tribes after the purge of Mandore. His faith was rewarded.

>>11810963
This is why she needs Din to temper her and so Grogu can have a mother.

The Darksaber thing pissed me off so much. Din earns it in true combat from the Empire and that sets up an opportunity for a great arc of him becoming the new Mandalore but they give it to Bo on a technicality.
Also pic related.
>>
>>11811109
>writers were to making something amazing, but THEY just kept on fumbling it
It's same with Grogu, I already can picture execs screaming "YOU DID HWHAT?!" when they heard that Mando dumped his ass in Luke's Academy, so they had to haphazardly reunite them again in separate series cameo.
>>
>>11811109
>>11811306
>>11811391
It really feels like there was a division among the writers. As if half of them wanting one thing tying up with old lore and building with Mando, while the other half wanted to keep things as they were, getting rid of his weapons and sending him off with Grogu to the stars than either of them starting the new generation of Mandalorians and Jedi.
>>
>>
>>11811306
Yeah, the fact that everybody just accepts it? Lmao, bunch of retards! AND bad writing, because these guys have no faith in her! Why would they just believe that BS!?
>Pic
Lmao
>>11811391
Yeah, Grogu should've stayed with Luke. Let the little guy grind off screen, then have him come back to save his space daddy later! Luke should be fine with it, because it's HIS Jedi order now! The old heads told him to forget about his father, and look how THAT turned out!
>>11811511
That's probably giving them too much credit lmao
Butt yeah, I could see ONE guy trying his hardest to carry that show.
Ah, butt enough about the show, any word on the upcoming blokees champion lite series? That's a good avenue for getting an AT-RT for cheap! Anybody got pics of those figures next to TVC?
