I saw a bunch of TRU armor ups a few days ago, including Kylo, which I believe is the only version of Kylo so far to have no hood. I debated getting it to swap heads with my extra TBS Kylo but TRU wanted $17 for the armor up figures so I passed

Check Amazon if you want the Armor Up Kylo Ren.  I just got one for $12.50 with Prime Shipping, no tax just the other day.  TRU's prices have been a bitter pill to swallow.

Didn't even know there was a Kylo Ren version. Will keep an eye out.

EDIT: Oh, I thought an exclusive TRU version was being mentioned there. As far as I can find, there are only two TRU exclusives - Poe and Phasma.

I picked up a Hassk thug at Walmart. It's okay, the articulation kills it.

Correct - Armor up Ren is just part of the standard Armor Up line carried by everyone - not just TRU.

No sign of the two packs near me yet but I grabbed the new Rey. Not too bad for 5poa. Now we need a Luke!

Anxious for the 2-pack of aliens and the furry dude.  Love alien randomness of any articulation style.

One of Unkar's forearms swivels so we are up to 6poas! Woo-hoo!

Nice actually.  Hey they're creeping it back up.

Again, I'd drop $10-per if they'd get back to 07 levels of articulation...  Some get, some don't.  Most get at least extra elbow/wrist or knee, or even angle-cut elbows, wrists, and ball jointed knees and leaving it at that.

I'm ok without waist or ankle articulation if ankles/feet are sculpted flat, and I'd think a single-piece PVC torso with a ball jointed head is easier/cheaper to make.

I just want better than we've had.  SA is nice, but it's never been a necessity to me on anything but the mainest of the mains, and Stormies.

At shows, I still buy the 06 DSG, AT-AT Driver, etc.  They're great figures.  Simple, have nice features and accessories, and they're really not SA, but they're nicely poseable.  They can sit, stand, "walk", hold a weapon 2-handed...  That's all ya really need.  :)

Found a Han Solo today. And I have to say, the hair on this figure is way too brown.

Picked up the Fifth Brother Inquisitor, Tasu Leech and Admiral Ackbar today.  The sculpt on Tasu Leech is pretty good.  And I'm definitely liking Ackbar!
