Definitely better than the Chewbacca repaint.

I'm definitely interested in getting this Krrsantan.  But I'm not preordering any Black Series items at this point unless it's something that I absolutely need to get.

Another Hasbro #doubledip  - they just announced this TBOBF Cad Bane and he's already getting paired up with a stripped down Cobb Vanth.  ::)

This might be a Target exclusive...  https://www.target.com/p/-/A-87880900

If I were to get the Book of Boba Fett Cad Bane, Hasbro just made it really easy to decide which one to get.  I'm just wondering who made the decisions about some of these double dipping releases?

EDIT - Per Jayson, this version of Cad Bane has a different head, blast effects and the flame accessory for Bane's flamethrower gauntlet.

Is there anyone still trying to "collect them all" for Black Series? 

I just wonder why they would issue such a similar figure pack to what was just released and still coming.  Are there that many people that want both versions of Cad Bane and Cobb Vanth?  These two aren't even hardcore fan favorites.

I am, but I’ve literally never heard of anyone else online who still is, so it must be a pretty small fraternity. It’s super hard and not cheap.

Anyway, I picked up the new Target 2-pack just now, it’s live if anyone else is interested.  :)

Is the Mando Captain included in the bundle, or is it just R5-D4? 

The Mando Captain is in the image, but I don't see any mention of him.

Personally I'd prefer if its just R5-D4 and not a $55 bundle of the two of them.

They have revised the pic to just R5-D4 - I guess the Mando Fleet Captain guy was just an oopsie for now.

R5-D4 should be a $25 basic figure.

Anybody compare this release of R5-D4 to the prior release?  Anything noteworthy?

I am not a Black Series expert but I have heard that it uses the same body as the new ROTJ 40th Anniversary R2-D2 (with all the tools and extendable head).  So a new sculpt from his last appearance in the Black Series line.

Yeah, it’s supposed to be much bigger than the last one. I don’t think I ever even opened that guy…
