We back? Is this thing on?

What's new and what did we miss?

Were any new Black Series even revealed during the time off? I'm sure it was, but I can't honestly remember.

 

I think the only new ones I added to my shelf were the Cad & Cobb 2 pack, and 2 Endor Soldiers.

 

Poor Ki-Adi Mundi still lies unknown in the pre-order ether somewhere.

I received Darth Malgus during our Fwoosh hiatus, and he is an impressive figure. Great sculpt and detail. Large and in charge. Massive saber, too.

He does feel just a little cheap, a little too plasticy. But overall I'm still happy to have him.

I liked seeing the black series rebels characters from Ahsoka. Makes me glad I passed on the majority of the Rebels crew with the black series realism filter that were rereleased a while back. Hopefully Kanan makes his live action debut at some point. Would love to replace the older figures with the better ones Hasbro has been making.

 

Oh and bring on Starkiller!

forgot to subscribe to the thread. I hope this new system doesn't just send me emails, and that the notifications pop up on the forum, like the old one.

My Targets stocked both the Luke/Grogu training set and Cad Bane/Cobb Vanth duel sets from Book of Boba Fett, and they are NOT moving. Every time I come in, it's the same five sets and 8-10 sets of the aforementioned, respectively. It's the training set that really seems like a total rip off. The minute Cobb/Cad goes on sale, I'll probably pick it up, but that Luke set has "wait for clearance" written all over it.

Got a trio of troopers. Thought I might take some pics.

The Cad/Cobb pack is selling in my neck of the woods, but Luke and Grogu is sticking around pretty heavily too. After all the Grogu figures we've gotten, and right in between getting Mando Luke and ROTJ Luke, it's a tough sell. Like others, I might pick it up on sale/clearance for the accessories and diorama pieces, but otherwise I'm good.

 

He's definitely still selling, but it does seem like the Grogu mania has died out around here. There's so many Grogu dolls and shirts and merch that's been sitting there for ages, never going on sale.

 

That said, the Cad/Cobb 2 pack is really nice. I think they translated Cad really well into figure form. Never thought I'd own 3 different Cad Bane Black Series figures, but here we are.

No difference between Mando & "Ahsoka" Ahsoka, right?

Is Malgus 7' 2" because he was born that tall, or does he have body parts that were just made bigger so he's more imposing?  Does he have real legs under that suit, or are they robotic like Vader?

Yes, a bunch at SDCC.  The only one that jumps to mind I'm all in for is a super battle droid that's in the development pipeline.

Awesome pics!   Thanks for posting, and congrats on scoring a fives!

 

WalMart cancelled my pre-order for him, and I'm still pretty salty over it.
