Title: 2023 TVC Deluxe TM Krrsantan
Post by: Nicklab on September 7, 2022, 10:10 AM
There were some updates on the TVC release list over at Yakface.  And listed in the TVC Deluxe mainline releases is a Krrsantan figure!  Nice to see Hasbro coming through with that at last.

As long as it isn't a repainted Chewbacca like they tried to pull off in TBS.

Bumping this up in light of today's Hasbro Pulse Livestream.  There's been a rumor of a TVC deluxe Krrsantan circulating for a while now.  I wonder if that's going to finally get confirmed today?

Only $31.99 I’m sure!

Kitbashed Chewie with a new head, new paint, and bandolier?  ???

I sure hope if they do a Krrsantan in TVC that they do a mostly new sculpt and do it right.

He looks fantastic! Not really a surprise reveal, but the electro knuckles are a good surprise.

The way they broke up the articulation, he almost resembles a MOTU figure with the furry underwear and chest harness!

I wonder how they’ll re-use this body… four pack of ROTS Wookiees, $99.99.

I would love an update to the ROTS wookiees to be honest.

Looks great. Hopefully we eventually get some Trandosians or Pikes for him to fight. I love the maluron fruit he comes with too.

They could do an updated Tarfful.

I'm curious just how tall Krrsantan will be relative to other figures?  Hasbro has actually been pretty good about getting proportions correct these days.  But there's some odd stuff about the Wookiees and the actors in the suits.

Chewbacca has actually been described as kind of scrawny by Wookiee standards.  The Wookiees in ROTS are actually pretty bulky - Tarfful included.  It looks like Krrsantan has more of that bulky kind of build.  I'm hoping that we can get some re-use from that body for future Wookiees!  And speaking of future Wookiees - Joonas Suotomo, who took over playing Chewbacca from Peter Mayhew, is going to be playing a new Wookiee in THE ACOLYTE.  He's going to be a Wookiee Jedi Master named Kelnacca!

For $31 after tax he’d better be really tall!

SERIOUSLY???  I ordered via Amazon and I don't think my order came out to that much, albeit the tax on my order was split between this and 6 TVC basic figures.  But the Prime shipping does eventually pay for itself.

Tax in Chicago is 10.25%… he was $27.99.  I think the total was $30.86.

Hmmm. Maybe I’ll be able to get this before I attend a con where the Krrsantan actor is going to be appearing.

I met him last year at Colorado Springs Comic Con.  Awesome guy!
