I was aware for the new 8” line. I already collect 6th scale Sideshow and Hot Toys figures, so not sure I need the new 8” line but from what I saw (I think I saw Vader? maybe) it left a good impression. I may bend and get some but I’d rather plug holes in my 1/6 display.

I don’t blame you. As a 3.75 collector with a couple sixers from TBS and figuarts, there is no chance I’d get into 8”. And that would go many, many times over if I had the budget for Hot Toys. (I want old Luke, old Leia, and old Han. I am inexplicably deeply moved by those figures, and want a display of them looking back over the whole Skywalker saga, with some old EU thrown in...)
By the way, did anybody note here yet that the Ep IX release will be Oct 4, and that it will also feature The Mandalorian and a new EA game, as well as product from the new Frozen? They’re calling it Triple Force Friday, and are talking about midnight release again. Probably should have written this 24 hr ago. Unless another poster already did & I forgot. Apologies to them if so, a lot is happening this weekend. I think the Hasbro presentation is happening in NY literally as I write this... |

Um, by Ep IX release I meant figure release. Movie in December of course.

Well, there is the small matter of the $800 or so...
Are there any INTERNATIONAL Star Wars collectors here? If so, they should be fired up to learn that the Barge will be made available to them via Pulse in March! (In general, HasLab has been folded into Pulse, too.) Info on ESB 40th and more soon! |

Ok, Jedi News has the rundown on the presentation, crosschecked at the fwoosh, JTA, Yakface. Still awaiting photos, but:
* in addition to the Retro figures discussed above, a special Tarkin retro figure will come with a board game. recall that the original vintage line lacked a Tarkin. maybe we could get other vintage style characters like Han stormtrooper, sandtrooper, Rebel Fleet Trooper, yellowjacket Luke too someday... * a 3-pack of TVC skiff guards is coming, and a skiff too. also a Jabba display with Han and Ree Yees * previously discussed hyperreal 8” Vader and int’l barge sales * upcoming fan vote for 6” ESB 40th figure(s?) * padawan Obi-Wan 6” will be paired with Darth Maul on TPM cards for SDCC, and released normally as well. * black series packaging change Last edited by books; 02-16-2019 at 04:45 PM.. |

Gamorrean Guards, the skiff, and the skiff guards can all be ordered RIGHT NOW from Dorkside, and possibly other sites too. Haul it!
update: they have the Barge too, for 500! Last edited by books; 02-16-2019 at 05:04 PM.. |

I guess it was just one 3 pack after all- thank the maker.

He’s new. I read it’s his first time as a figure. What did you think of the skiff?

The skiff, wow, just wow. It seems like The Barge Taught Hasbro that SW collectors will drop money for coveted items made well. It’s amazing. Love it. I’m guessing 160 for it? Has to be 2x the cost of the new Tie/ Battle Tank. Is this new Jabbas set going to be The Haslab project?
