6" Black Series 1:12 Scale Porgs
« on: October 30, 2017, 11:02 AM »
Revealed at MCM London Comic Con this past weekend - Porgs to go with your Black Series 6" figures.

Hasbro is selling them separately so you can buy as many as you want without having to buy a 6" figure you may not want/need.

STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES 6-INCH SCALE Porgs
(Ages 4 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $5.99/Available: Spring 2018)

Interesting. Wonder if it opens the door to further accessory packs.

I wish there was something in the photo to give it some point of reference for size. Are these like half a Yoda height or smaller?

I do think it's a cool idea and I would fully support any kind of accessory packs or smaller add-ins like this in the future.

Eh, I'll buy them, but I feel like these are the kinds of accessories we really should be getting with regular Black Series figures (ala Rey and BB-8).

I get that since the BS6" figures do seem kinda light on accessories these days...  but then you'd have folks squawking they only want the Porgs and have to buy yet another $20 Rey/Luke/Chewbacca to get them, etc.  This way, if you want 100 Porgs, you can buy them without buying 50 6" figures you didn't want.

Wonder if this is a late substitution on Hasbro's part, seeing the very positive response to the porgs. Maybe they were intended to be a pack in with Chewie or Rey maybe, and then Hasbro was like, 'Nah we'll make more $$$ this way.'

Well, this was a surprise.  Although it shouldn't be, because the Porgs seem to be EVERYWHERE.

I received my porgs via EE yesterday, and they are pretty adorable. The Black Series boxes are so tiny!

They are supposedly showing up at Gamestops now too, except if you live anywhere near me.  ::)
