The Black Series 3.75" / Re: The Black Series 3.75" - 2013 Wave 3

It's an interesting mix of a wave, although the absence of core characters is a bit of a head scratcher. I guess Hasbro's approach is changing. Plagueis is definitely a cool concept. And Neyo seems to be a step forward as far as phase II Clones go.
I definitely like Vizam. Although that figure appears to essentially be a resculpt of the Nikto from the POTF2 skiff guards cinema scene. That figure did need updating, so this is fine by me. For my tastes, if Hasbro is going to work their way through resculpting the older goons from Jabba's palace, I'd like to see them alternate those releases with new characters. I agree that a new Yakface would be in order. The POTF2 version is weak in comparison with modern figures. But please don't do things like that at the expense of getting new figures out.
Definitely surprised that we haven't seen some figures like the A-Wing pilot and the realistic Captain Rex. Maybe the Hasbro panel will shed some light there?
