6" Black Series The Last Jedi Wave 1

[Jeff]

I don't think we have threads for these yet and with SDCC coming up, thought it might be nice to start getting some stuff ready for Force Friday II in a few weeks!

Wave 1 rumor (via Yakface:

Wave 1:
2x Darth Vader (Episode IV – 40AC repack)
1x Rey (Episode VIII)
1x Luke Skywalker (Episode VIII)
1x Kylo Ren (Episode VIII)
1x Grand Admiral Thrawn (Star Wars Rebels – SDCC repack)
1x Hera Syndulla (Star Wars Rebels)
1x Stormtrooper (40AC repack)

ugh, why did they even make that figure? I could have just drawn on a red scar with a Sharpie. There are more 6" Kylos than Lukes now!

Glad to see Hera on deck.

Considering how plentiful the TFA unmasked Kylo Ren is at retail, this new version may not go over that well.  But seeing how he's the central villain of TLJ, Hasbro just HAS to make him available.

Glad to see the Stormtrooper being carried forward.  I hope those Vaders don't linger, though.  And I'm glad to see that Thrawn will be available right away following the SDCC exclusive offering, albeit without all the swag.

I read somewhere that the Vader and troopers are being repacked because they go with those 40th AC dioramas... a good idea in theory, but I can see them piling up at Targets

I will eat my hat the day 6" basic stormtroopers pile up anywhere.  That is the most obvious and basic troop builder imaginable.  I bet you could sneak a stormtrooper into every wave of 6" from now until the end of the line and you'd still never see them pile up.  I can definitely see Vader sitting though, since we just got an expensive version of him and no one really needs a display with lots of Vader flanked by Vaders.

Saw someone had found a pic of Kylo at Amazon.es and so I went snooping (search Black Series 8 and also Black Series E8) and found boxed pics of Rey, Kylo and Luke.

There's also Finn in First Order disguise

So I found out today the Vader in this wave has been tweaked a bit for re-release. Yes, it's just different enough to make you mad. 

The bottom of the helmet is now painted gun metal grey instead of just plain black. That seems to be the main difference.

Yes, I bought one just for this reason and because I'm nuts.
