you know what's accurate?
making a miggs as a mercenary figure first. he had a sweet arm weapon thing. no reason why that shouldnt have been made before "ok, we have luke and han head molds, let's put them on storm trooper bodies." |

It's one thing to be dicked over repeatedly by Hasbro, it's another to be constantly lied to. They clearly did this version first because that allowed them to use the buck twice- the ones with the red arm bands are probably straight off the Mando run with a head swap and they got a few thousand units done before noticing it. What's really shitting is that Hasbro says these exclusives are necessary because otherwise these figures wouldn't be made. So, they're telling me we need an exclusive retailer to get a headswapped repack and we get to pay a dollar more for it that everything else? If that's where they're at, then they should just scrap TVC altogether. Koska and Axe, again, both essentially head swapped repacks, need an exclusive retailer, but the 37 fucking troop builders that are diluting this line are fine for regular retail? Nonsense. I'm glad I'm not a carded collector. I feel like a carded set would look pretty lame when 10 of the last 20 figures have been stormtrooper variants, and 20 of the last 30 have been clone or other trooper variants. So fucking lame! If I'm going to overpay for "deluxe" and exclusives, give me some fucking inquisitors or Black Krrsantan, or literally anything other than a repack or troop builder.

i really want a black krrsantan, but i dont want a repainted chewbacca black krrsantan and then be told that it costs 26 bucks because they had to put boba fett's helmet in it because and that makes it a deluxe figure.
this is hasbro now. the boba fett tax, deluxe figures that arent and repainting stuff that's no good; and still, not a significant amount of people are saying "wait. this is not ok." instead, they get their unicorn panties all bunched up over plastic packaging. why arent you mad we still dont have the rebels crew in tvc? the whole mercenary group from mando season 1? where the hell is my cobb vanth? any version of a realistic cad bane? more ewoks? jawas? wookies? obviously hasbro doesnt care about this "98"; it's not going to be complete in your life time. bet on it. ive been speaking with my wallet with hasbro. i'm going to be 1000 deep into o-ring kickstarter lines. not 1000 deep in hasbro o-ring gijoes. i cherry pick the HELL out of star wars now because it's just grossly inconvenient from getting it from a store to the low effort they're putting into the line. but here we are, people eating shit up like a repainted obiwan pack that's all repacked stuff that literally just came out. and...i cant say this enough, i have stock in hasbro. i just got another 2 dollar dividend check in the mail.

What really bothers me is that the influencers or whatever you want to call them that have Hasbro's ear somewhat are stuck on all the wrong things. AT least, to me. All they want is updated OT characters over and over. I'd rather have so many other things before an updated Han Solo or Farm Boy Luke. Not that I wouldn't want those, but when we only get about a dozen or less newly tooled figures a year, I just don't want Krrsantan, Cobb Vanth, Inquisitors, any number of realistic sytled animated characters, being pushed to the back of the line. I'll take a good enough Luke, Han, and Leia, over not having any of certain characters. Others obviously feel differently, but I'm tired a getting hosed out of figures because of loud old men that can't stand that there's more to Star Wars than the OT. I'll never forgive Paul Harrison for costing us the Revan re-release, a repack that I could have actually used. Also, Retro shouldn't have a better character selection than TVC.

I would happily pay $20 for a 3.75 figure if I got the same selection, apps, accessories, and BAF pieces that Legends 6" gets

Is it just me or does he manage to find the negative in every single one of his posts and reviews?

Let's face it, 25 dollar 6-inch figures of the A- and B-listers will and do sell, but I would imagine demand for background aliens and the like drops off a cliff comparatively. |

Has anybody tried swapping Bo-Katan/Fennec's abdomen+thighs in to the Armorer to give her the good hips?

He also pretends like he doesn?t know ANY of the characters or story lines post Disney buyout. He?s a giant liar and someone who loves to say that he?s ?alpha? un-ironically. I would like the Blue Milk TVC book, but since he?s involved with it, I have a hard time giving him my money. |

Agreed, but also glad they made that style of trooper so that we can use the heads from Solo to make proper Imperial Army Troopers.
