The Hasbro Star Wars crew was again once more with one other Fanstream and struggled mightily to cram their Acolyte reveals into the “Imperial March” theme to amusing impact. It was a great present for those who had been excited by the Acolyte trailer yesterday, however not a lot for those who weren’t. Let’s have a look!
One of many highlights for me of the entire thing was some cool photographs from Taking pictures the Galaxy of Vader and Troopers within the Tantavive IV hallway set in addition to dio photographs of newly revealed R2 and Leia. All the time good to see extra photographs from him, although I don’t gather this line. It helps with the fomo to see stuff I don’t gather photographed nicely. I additionally actually just like the sculpted robes on Leia and wouldn’t thoughts seeing that finished within the Black Sequence.
Talking of FOMO, I didn’t go in on the Ghost Haslab, so these superior photos are bittersweat. Hopefully there are ton extra to come back so I can vicariously take pleasure in this Haslab from my Favourite Star Wars present. There’s one other TVC Haslab coming Might the 4th.
They did announce a brand new Bounty Puck determine with Darth Maul. These don’t do something for me, however I perceive the necessity for them to do these form of mold-reuse repaints to hit no matter revenue margins they should preserve making the brand new figures I really do need. I don’t know if these are getting the gross sales they want primarily based on my anecdotal proof they sit round and don’t transfer in my space.
The meat of the presentation was new Black Sequence figures from The Acolyte. I do love this stage of a brand new Star Wars factor the place I barely acknowledge the brand new characters and actually don’t know the names in any respect. The wave is 4 Jedi and the lead character, Mae. Three of the Jedi have very equally styled robes, so they’re rather less thrilling to me, however I really like that the Padawan is a cool wanting alien (a Theelin/Human!). I particularly love the pose of her tossing the robes apart to start out a battle! The smooth items robes are consistent with what we’re seeing from this line, so not implausible, however a pleasant inclusion. I do like that there have been extra Jedi with Yellow Sabers within the trailer, so I used to be glad to see that represented in a determine.
The spotlight Jedi for me was Indara simply because I cherished her battle with Mae within the trailer and it’s Trinity in Star Wars! The likeness seems good and so does the motion, although I want they would come with a swappable power push hand for extra Jedi characters, particularly ones like this who appear to make use of a power push combating type.
Lastly, the star of the trailer, Mae is wanting actually good. I’m fascinated by discovering out her story, and I dig her armor design. I see some metallic and virtually wooden like materials on that chest plate and the author on the present talked about she was bringing in EU lore, so I ponder if we may be seeing some Cortosis (a lightsaber resistant materials) on this present. I’m happy with this preliminary group of figures, the one different one which I actually wished to see from the trailer is the Wookiee Jedi, Kelnacca.
The figures might be out there within the fall, which isn’t precisely well timed for a summer time launched present, but additionally nearer than loads of stuff will get launched recently. Preoders are tomorrow at 10AM Pacific. In addition they confirmed a Moff Gideon roleplay helmet which simply made me irritated I don’t have a Black Sequence model of armored Gideon.
TVC can also be getting Acolyte figures. It’s all the time attention-grabbing to me to see the cardboard backs in TVC type for brand spanking new stuff. Lastly they confirmed some pipeline reveals for TVC and Black Sequence.
I’m so Jealous that the TVC is getting a Blurrg set. I would like one so badly for Black Sequence! Dedra is a superb launch for me since I cherished that present and loved rooting for and alternately hating her from scene to scene. The Imperial Commando is a enjoyable military builder and Ahsoka the White can also be a wanted determine for me. I’m a bit irritated that Enoch and the Night time Trooper is a two-pack as a result of it’s not nice for military constructing, however I’ve to suppose they’ll do extra army-builder pleasant variations of the Night time Trooper down the road. Yoda and Gree are advantageous, however I discovered it extra attention-grabbing that Yoda would come along with his Jedi Council chair. I’ve an excellent Figuarts prequel Yoda, however I’m curious to see how it will evaluate to that.
General I loved this Fanstream, however I do must say I want they may give a bit extra emphasis to OT figures that aren’t Vader or Stormtroopers within the Black Sequence going ahead. I’m jonesing for Ewoks and Cantina Aliens!
