Also, Disney probably doesn?t give a right fuck. Hasbro on the other hand has every reason to want people to cross buy brands-and most of us have been doing so for our entire collecting careers

Stuff the Star Wars team has said in interviews. Also stuff that those who are in the know have reported.

well that Epic Grogu is cheaper than TVC Grogu and essentially the same
maybe not as detailed also droids need little articulation like R2 units so those will be competing with TVC anyway

While this is true on the surface, it's overall bullshit. GI Joe, with no licensing fees, still costs the same thing as any other 6" figure. They're gonna charge what they're gonna charge. If I have to pay more for licensed products, I should get to pay less for non-licensed products.

No shit. They?ve been doing it quite a while now. Jango Fett might be the most egregious example to date. Basically nothing new, flat paint, bad accessories

I grabbed the Epic Mando yesterday. Partially because I wanted an Epic figure for academic reasons, and partially since I didn't have a Mando yet. Honestly, my biggest hangup is the price point. He's otherwise nothing special and nothing offensive. I find him mildly charming on his own merits.
Also, I can only speak for Mando so far, but despite technically being a 4" figure, he doesn't scale too badly with any of the 3.75" SW figures I've posed him with. I think it's the body proportions rather than the literal height.

Shit, all the Vintage collection pegs are replaced by Epic Hero Star Wars at Target. No more overpriced $28 dollar packs or 13-14 dollar figs left I guess. It looks like we might get an attempt of a repeat of the Force Aweakens strategy of 5 POA spam.
