Thanks for the link. Ordered. Love the free delivery on a dollar amount well below their normal threshold.

The 3.75 dying rumor? I didn't get a chance to see the panel. What did they say?

Oh that's good... what was the official word?

You can watch it here:)

I love how the person asking the questions calls out the fan alarmist site spreading said rumor.

LOL!!!!!!!!!  Great to see someone calling out the manchild who cried wolf

He's been in denial about a great many things.

“I didn’t start the rumor, I just spread the rumor” is a pretty weak defense. They also stole their “official press photos” from another site. That guy sucks in so many ways it’s hard to keep track of anymore.

So while the comments section were open for this denial I asked if he only wanted credit for killing the 5POA line.

I got this as a response via email:

5POA is not OK. The line sucks. But those are just opinions.
Regardless, we have no power to kill a toy line. I am indifferent towards it. What is your issue?

I went back to the comments section to respond but by then the comments were deleted and disabled.

There is nothing to read all the way down here.  If I had something else to say, I'd a said it in my post.  You may proceed to the next post.

I'm so glad that Walmart shipped this in a container that's about 2 cm too small.  :-\

Picked my Luke’s up today and am quite pleased.

The one thing nobody is talking about though, and a major advancement in quality imho, is the separate sculpt hair they’re doing now.  People really are missing this as a subtle but major update to figures to add depth, lessen paint apps and bleeding, and really make a much more detailed figure to boot.

One figure I got has a sort of lazy eye but the other was perfect.

So is then a new head sculpt and not the previous one with the new face paint tech?

I got my two in the mail this week...and WM just tossed them in a plastic mailer with no padding or anything, so both cards were destroyed and bubbles cracked open. Generally I wouldn’t care too much, because I’m an opener, but I like to keep a carded set of the OT figures (which is why I ordered two). The figure itself looks great, just bummed the cards were so jacked.

Def a new headsculpt Man.  It may be reused from the 3-pack figure(s) but I didn’t have them handy to compare.  It’s not the previous sculpt though, for that specific figure.  Has separate hair so definitely new.

How they can get this so right and that Dagobah Luke go so far off the rails is kind of funny.
