I read Jayson saying this wasn't originally going to be announced for another week so Amazon wasn't ready but eventually it will go up.
I imagine it could have something to do with how Disney+ rolled out the first 3 episodes of ANDOR on the day it premiered on the platform. That might have messed up some of the promotional schedule.
I like the upper part of the figure. It looks like a good likeness of Cassian. But I take issue with the boots and the blaster. At this price point Hasbro should get it right the first time. Regarding the price point? It's interesting that the Target exclusive Axe Woves got rolled out at $16.99, and people thought that was just Target pricing an exclusive figure a little higher. But no - it's the harbinger of Hasbro hiking the price on TVC figures to $16.99. At this price point there should be more new sculpts in this line. The trooper repaints are getting out of hand.
I wonder if some of the discussion around the community about how Hasbro could re-use parts to make a whole bunch of troopers resonated with Hasbro (Imperial Tank Drivers, Transport Drivers, Mudtroopers, etc), and they thought "Hey! That's a great idea" and thought that we wouldn't notice the differences with the troopers on Aldhani. It's only further compounded by the fact that the Black Series Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission) was done with the correct boots.
I'm wondering - was it just not possible to kitbash the Imperial Gunner legs in order to make this figure more screen accurate?
