Ugh...that stinks. It just makes no sense why they wouldn't ever create them. Every time I start planning my own customs of these two, I pull back because I stupidly assume Hasbro is juuuuuuust about to announce them. This has been going on since the mid '90s.

They're waiting for you to finish your customs.  Please get going on them.
This is the way.

Pulse charged me for Finn and Cassian today. 

I’m so excited.   :-\

Got Finn and Cassian today.

Hooray.

By my count, this Finn is the first sequel trilogy figure since I moved into my house, which is just under three years ago.

Hasbro really hates those movies.


Edit… also just got shipping notices from Amazon and Pulse on the Clone and Dooku.

They really do. The fact that we still don’t have a Zombie Emperor in any scale after all these years is outrageous

How's the Finn head? I didn't order him but I might if he's a decent enough improvement.

Super rough though...there's so few actual scenes you can even set up with the ST stuff. I actually took them out of my display shelves until they eventually make some connective tissue there, scene-wise. Poe's orange x-wing is such an awesome ship too, so it's a shame.

Bossk's Bounty had a decent side-by-side comparison in their review.

I still think it would have been a much better release if Hasbro would have included the Skywalker lightsaber with Finn, and used a still of him from Starkiller base for the filmout.  It would have been a much more compelling image.

As for Cassian?  The new paint apps seem to be a major improvement over the original release.

They're fine, just unnecessary. They straight up changed Finn's shoe color too.

Here's comparisons, the old ones are on the left... new ones on the right:

Just got the Phase I clone.  Definitely an improvement on the legs compared to before even though I can't see myself wanting too many of these.  I still like the Evolutions one and have tons of those.

Just got the Phase I clone. 

How does the helmet look on the head in-person?  Some of the press photos made it look oversized, but others it seemed OK.

I only pre-ordered two of these until I could see better pics of the helmet.  (Hoping that the eventual troop builder 4-pack of these Phase 1 clones gets new non-removable helmet heads like Hasbro did with the Phase II troop builder set).

I didn't think much of it but now that you say it, yeah maybe it's a little large looking.  I don't think it's too bad...
