I haven’t been too enamored of the Black Sequence these days, so I used to be shocked that I ended up fairly enthusiastic about a lot of the Black Sequence releases proven off at Hasbro’s Pulse Con 2024.
I’ve big Clone Trooper fatigue on this line these days, so I’m a bit of shocked I need this one! Perhaps as a result of he goes with the latest and wonderful Ki-Adi Mundi determine or maybe as a result of he has a barely completely different design. The remainder of his squad has a neat snow trooper in maroon vibe that I wouldn’t thoughts as nicely. Give me that Ki-Adi loss of life squad!
Dagan Gera is from a Star Wars sport I haven’t performed, however he’s a novel wanting Jedi sporting the Excessive Republic model Jedi gear that I’ve come to essentially like studying these comics. It’s a disgrace he’s one-armed as a result of he’d be nice customized fodder in any other case. I do want that they had included a force-push hand for him as he seems a bit of foolish holding his c-grip hand up. As a lot as I’d like Joes to come back with fists for punching, extra Jedi want power push fingers. With the ornate lightsaber and glossy gold trim, this man is only a snazzy wanting determine. At some point I’ll get a PS5 and eventually play this sport.
It’s been a great lengthy whereas since we acquired a Luke from the unique Star Wars and it’s a determine that might use some trendy enhancements for certain. I’ve acquired the Figuarts ANH Luke and this one truly feels fairly near that in sculpt high quality. The place it falls a bit of brief for me is the portrait. Not a lot the face because the hair appears a bit of too tame and brown for ANH Luke for my style. Nonetheless, I believe he may positively exchange the outdated Black Sequence ANH Luke I’ve on the shelf.
The portrait on Leia and the face printing actually appeals to me, a particular enchancment on the Black Sequence determine I’ve and I believe I’ll additionally seize this one to exchange my tender items Black Sequence Leia on the shelf. I additionally like the way in which the hoods grasp. Between these two improved figures, I’d prefer to see them re-do ANH Han as nicely. It’s certainly one of my all-time favourite figures, however it’s actually exhibiting its age.
I instantly cherished the Battle Droid Commando design from the second they first confirmed up within the first Clone Wars season they usually had been certainly one of my favorites to play in Battlefront II, in order that they’ve been excessive on my need checklist for a very long time. The truth that a brand new Star Wars sport includes a Commando Droid most likely helped get this man made since they will simply re-use this one. It seems like they did a pleasant job within the articulation right here with double ball joints within the shoulders. I additionally like some the weathering they’ve executed with some chip harm alongside a few of the surfaces. I ordered a few these.
I learn the unique Shadows of the Empire e book and comics and acquired all of the toys after they first appeared and, fairly frankly, I didn’t adore it except for a few of the Swoop Gang and Bounty Hunter designs, so I’m a bit of shocked at how stoked I’m to see Xizor (or Skeezor as I all the time consider him on account of his bizarre pheromone-powered seduction try with Leia). I don’t know, possibly absence makes the guts develop fonder or it’s so way back that I’ve developed nostalgia for one thing I didn’t actually love, however this seems improbable to me. The small print on his outfit, the haughty expression, and the nasty scaled backbone all look wonderful to me. I believe it’s only a nice wanting determine, so that could be all it’s. As a bonus, his solicitation data confirmed extra Shadows of the Empire figures together with Sprint Rendar (!), Luke, and Leia. Shadows of the Empire Renaissance. Perhaps I can get a Spiker or Furlag determine of this!
Xizor, Bacara, and the Commando droid went up for pre-order yesterday and the remainder will likely be up subsequent week 9/18 at 1PM ET for a Spring launch.
