I decided to order a full case for the first time in 10+ years (I also grabbed two Zebs from EE while I was at it). I was planning on doing two of each anyway, and with the set at two each this just makes sense. Here's to hoping those TBDs end up being the unannounced VC320 & VC321 and not some carryforward figure from the previous wave...
Love the Kanan, but I really hope we get the rest of the Rebels mains in Season 1 attire. (I thought that's what this Ezra was originally supposed to be.)

I pre-ordered this Ezra, but may end up cancelling. I just can't decide if I really want it.
If they were giving us "Ahsoka" Ezra, I would have wanted the bearded 'lost' Ezra. If this was supposed to be based on the holo-Ezra, then why isn't it more "holo-y" like other holo figures they've done? My Ghost will already have the HasLab S4 Ezra and this guy kind of doesn't fit with the Ahsoka stuff really. Not sure where I'd put him if I keep my pre-order. It's like he's live-action version of S4 Ezra which isn't even really a thing.
Agree though that S1 Ezra, S1 Hera, S1 Sabine all need to stay on my wishlist.

The announcement for today was Imperial Cal Kestis and the Mandalorian Judge going up for preorder tomorrow.

Yay. Two more perfectly fine but uninspired figures made out of old figures.

I'll put these here for now - not sure yet if they fill the open two slots in the Acolyte wave (Mae, Sol, HK87 v2, Dark Trooper) or the Fan Channel wave with Kanan/Ezra.

Pretty much. I'll buy the Mando judge, but I'm really on the fence whether I need a variant Cal on my shelf.

According to Jayson's info (https://twitter.com/yak_face/status/1782462171521098128), Imp Officer Cal/Mando Judge are in this wave with Kanan/Ezra so moving these posts over here...

The Cal Kestis is the easiest kit-bash they could ever do, and I'm ok with that.
I do like the Mandalorian Judge...hell, I'm still hoping Hasbro pulls their heads out of their asses and realize that at Mandalorian Troop Builder pack is a good idea!

This one is surprising that they haven't either created lots of carded random kit-bashed Mandalorians, or come out with a 4-pack.

There was so much promise when they were cranking out the Deathwatch and Mauldalorians a year and a half ago!

It seems like they're getting on a roll with the Mandalorian ranks from the Disney+ series now. TVC now has the Fleet Commander and the Judge. And the upcoming Imperial Light Cruiser playset is going to include a Mando Privateer. The Black Series has started to get some generic Nite Owls, too.
Hasbro wasn't exactly super current with the source material on those TVC Mandalorians from Clone Wars. Death Watch dates back to season 2, which came out in 2009. And the first figures of them came out around 2010 in the Clone Wars animated figure line. The Mauldalorians date back to Clone Wars season 5, which premiered in the fall of 2012. And then season 7 came out in 2020. The first we saw of them in The Vintage Collection was in 2022. We got those three really good figures then, which was a promising step forward. And they led to Pre Vizsla at the end of last year. I think releasing the Mandalorian Fleet Commander now, and the Judge this summer is a significant improvement on that figure development timeline - the characters debuted in 2023, and we're getting them in 2024. While both seem like they're repaints and retools, I think we've all become accustomed to some re-use by Hasbro.
I'd like to see Hasbro expand on the various Mandalorians. A cool troop builder 4-pack might be the Shriek Hawk Training Squad from TM season 3. And then there are the survivors that are discovered on the surface. Just as long as Hasbro gives them all a serious treatment, I can get on board with releases like that.
