I went in on this droid shipped for $28 last week too, and I pretty much never get the Disney droids. I think I have only gone in on Chopper and the Depot 5-pack previously. This one is something special, I feel.

Did they specifically say that the Death Star Droid was the TLC sculpt?  I missed some things during the livestream.

They specifically said it was an updated paint job on a previously released figure.

Good grief. 

Any word yet on if they're doing 20 versions again?

They specifically said the limbs head and body will be randomly colored and will not match each other (but that the rocket will match another piece and the gun is always black.)

You can assume there will be several variations at least of the thousands of combinations possible. And be grateful that Vader stopped at only as many versions as they did.

Don't mistake this observation about the Gaming Greats sub-line as a complaint.  But is anyone else puzzled about why Hasbro would offer two TVC trooper figures from Jedi - Fallen Order?  I'm asking that because Hasbro has yet to take on the main character in the game, Cal Kestis, in the 3.75" scale.  I think that these releases would lead you to believe that a 3.75" version of Cal Kestis might be coming in the near future.  But having these trooper villains and not the central protagonist for them to oppose seems a little strange.

The current team doesn't look at this sort of thing at all, to them these figures are widgets and are completely interchangeable. If you want to talk about main characters, look at the line-up for Episode 9 figures. We got one main hero (two if you count Poe, but he was not in his movie outfit so I tend to not include that.) No main villains. Some army builders, some fanboy designs.

From a widget POV the Purge Trooper gets priority over Cal Kestis because there are several easy repaint/repack/reuse opportunities for the tooling. And the other is a retool already.

There is no intended world-building with the current TVC line. They struggle so hard with that (looking at Leia and Lando coming out over a year after their Carbon Freeze playset dropped.)

Except they accidentally made Kir Kanos instead.

Found some of the concepts Mike drew up...

I'll plop some money down for Paploo...I missed the Saga version and the secondary market is unreasonable.

If I see an AT-ST Driver and his face is printed correctly in place I might bite.

Leia's poncho is too poofy. I bought the 5POA one with the molded poncho and that one will continue to do for me. I took the poncho off the TSVC version to serve as General Leia, and I don't feel like spending $14 for that with a new head, since it isn't that great of a figure.

I don't do Clone Wars either, so those figures are a pass.

Bespin Lando needs to be a ground-up brand-new figure. And my TVSC IG-88 fell apart over the years, so I am not looking forward to that figure either. I bought one of the Clone Wars IG droids to fill that gap a year ago.

So, yeah, I'll get Paploo I guess.
