The Vintage Collection / Re: Hasbro "Fan First" Livestream TVC 3.75" Reveals
« on: January 23, 2024, 01:34 PM »I'm also really happy to see the Cobb Vanth reveal, even if I would have preferred an un-armored version.
I will not be surprised if they pull a classic double-dip - Deluxe TM version with Fett Armor and then re-use some of his parts for a single-carded BOBF version without the armor...

TV-9D9 / Re: Bad Batch (Disney+)
« on: January 23, 2024, 12:10 PM »It was crushing to see Tech again. :'(
Agree. Looking forward to this new season. The show has really grown on me. (Still annoyed we're onto Season 3 and all we have in TVC is Hunter while BS6" has everyone in the BB crew in both Season 1 and Season 2 flavors

I was impressed that they snuck a few more lothcats in there since the mural has more than just Ezra's white one. Now they just have to find a way to put out the wolves from the mural.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Hasbro "Fan First" Livestream TVC 3.75" Reveals
« on: January 23, 2024, 11:40 AM »Mostly redos, repaints, resculpts and Mandalorians. *yawn*
Yeah, but I'm 100% here for COBB ******' VANTH to finally get some love in TVC. About ******* time.
Very glad that most of the stuff revealed today had swappable helmet heads instead of removable helmets. The helmet heads just look so much nicer than the removable helmets these days.
Also very glad they commented on the fan channel stuff and confirmed some TVC stuff still coming to brick and mortar (but only the popular figures/characters).

Live stream - Jing, Chris, Emily, Eric.
Recap of recently pre-ordered things...
- TVC Phase II Clone 4-pack - confirmed new tooled helmet head sculpt
- Deluxe Jango Fett
Note on fan-channel...
- "Even more focused in 2024" on providing Fan Channel
- "Still delivering strong figures" to brick-and-mortar (Target/Walmart) for "characters kids and casual fans will recognize"
- Use Dooku as example of figure fans want so = fan-channel
New TVC reveals today... all of these are mainline figures; Pre-order 1/24 @ 1pm ET (guessing these make up a lot of the wave that is coming with Huyang):
- TVC TBB Captain Rex (uses new Clone sculpt)
- TVC ANH X-Wing Pilot Luke {VC158 repack/refresh with tweaked cardback}
- VC312 The Mandalorian (Season 3) - seems like a repack of the Rescue/N-1 Mando figure sculpt on a new Season 3 cardback
- VC313 Grogu (Season 3) - new pram with three different cover options and his flat shirt (from the DLX Grogu/Luke pack)
- VC314 Mandalorian Fleet Commander - has an interchangeable helmet head
- VC315 TM Axe Woves (Mando Season 3) - "refresh" where this version has an interchangeable helmet head

The Vintage Collection / Re: Hasbro "Fan First" Livestream TVC 3.75" Reveals
« on: January 22, 2024, 06:16 PM »I have no idea what they might reveal. The only thing that's got me a little on edge is the potential that Hasbro might reveal something in the pipeline that I put on my March Madness Top 25 submission list, and if I have to edit those submissions.
I'd like to see them comment on the fact that everything that has been revealed/pre-ordered since October has been "fan channel" items. There are a lot of unspoken signs that the new "Epic Hero Series" stuff is the new brick-and-mortar line and the 3.75" TVC line is heading towards "fan channel only". No one has gone on record saying anything about that officially yet.
I'd also like a bit more clarity about the Epic Hero Series stuff. Does that stuff technically fall under Steve Evans and the "Marvel/Star Wars Collector Products" team or does that line fall under Vickie Stratford and the "Marvel/Star Wars Casual Fan Products" team?

Disney Parks Droid Factory / Re: 2024 Disney Parks Ahsoka Droid Factory 4-Pack
« on: January 22, 2024, 01:37 PM »Any chance Chopper isn't a repack?
He appears to be a slightly repainted version of the original Disney Chopper figure (which Disney has repainted before in this line).

Disney Parks Droid Factory / 2024 Disney Parks Ahsoka Droid Factory 4-Pack
« on: January 22, 2024, 12:30 PM »
Jayson reveals an upcoming Ahsoka themed Disney Droid 4-pack coming 1/29:
Not sure how I feel about this one. A Chopper repack, Huyang (who so far looks lesser than the TVC Figure) and two astromechs. Feels underwhelming, but I'm sure I'll still buy one... maybe I can put this Huyang with the Clone Wars figures.
