Star Wars Resistance Figures Revealed

[Jeff]

Early news from NYCC -

Star Wars Resistance characters leap from screen to Hasbro action figures

Single figures = $8; two packs (Pilot w/Droid) = $13.

Commander Pyre looks interesting.  I guess these Stormtrooper officers get some pretty slick armor - Pyre's is gold, Phasma has chrome.  I have to wonder if this will be a recurring theme throughout the First Order?

[Jeff]

Aside from the usual "i wish they weren't lowPOA" stuff, I think they look good.  I really like that new Bucket droid character.  Not sure why an astromech needs a helmet, but it's fun.  Hope the funky alien mechanic (Neeku) and the Rodian pilot (Hype Fazon) get figures too.

At this point, it's only a matter of time before the First Order Stormtroopers get the multi-color Clone Trooper treatment too.  501st Legion must still be out there somewhere

As someone who always likes everything this is no surprise that I like them. I like the look. I hope the show is good

[Brian]

These look pretty good, and I enjoy the brightness/colorful figures. I really do hope the show and toys are a hit with kids. I'm not sure if I'll. Be picking them up, as I narrow my focus, but I hope they are a hit.

It's no surprise that these figures would get revealed today.  Especially since there's a RESISTANCE panel scheduled for NY Comic Con.  The one thing I was surprised that we didn't see?  Vehicles.  These racer/fighters seem like such a central point of the show that I was expecting to see one or two of those vehicles in the line right from the start.  Hopefully that will change soon.

Interesting/weird side note?  One of the droids in the most recent video looked strikingly like a droid that was in KOTOR.  It actually looked a little like Bucket but with coverings, IIRC.

I'll just leave this here...

[Jesse James]

I really like all the helmets...  and the droid.  So I’ll buy the 2-pack and on clearance may pick up others.  Otherwise it’s just not my bag since none fit with the rest of the line.  I dig the colors and things tho and the designs of the characters so far.  I think this show might be fun despite all the fanboy complaints it’s getting.

[Diddly]

Yeah I'd probably be all in on these had I bought the Clone Wars and Rebels figures. Like Jesse, I'll likely pick up the 2 pack with the stripped down Astromech and nothing else

[McMetal]

I'm more interested in the figures than the show right now. These look pretty nice and will blend nicely with the Rebels stuff. Given Hasbros history, probably not going to be a very big line for these either.

[McMetal]

So is this line done now? Even though the second season is upcoming? WTH?

[Jesse James]

I'm assuming it has to do with them having to focus on the movie, TV show, and game at this point...  Probably just stretched too thin.
