Black Series 6" Holiday Repaint Figures

[Nicklab]

Well, that's the internet for you!  People just LOVE to overreact.  It's become a spectator sport.

Regarding the style of the Black Series?  I look back to one of the first articles that was written about the line when it was launched in 2013:


"Our focus here is the adult collector, the dad," DePriest says. "We know they have their own generation of youngsters they like to share the adventure with. It can be something for dad, and the 3¾ world can be something for the kids to share."

Amazon Holiday Stormtrooper is available again for Preorder if anyone missed out the first time around, like me.

Finally got my hands on one of these this weekend when my GameStop order showed up early. Goofy for sure but I really kind of like these. I’ve always been a sucker for weird color variants and prototypes etc.

Also got a “preorder is imminent” email from Best Buy so that one should be on the way soon too.

These are... weird, but I don't hate them THAT much. Unfortunately I have got to cut back somewhere, which makes these perfectly skippable.

Didn’t feel like going out today but I just ordered the Target holiday trooper off their website with the Free PickUp in store option, and with the 25% off Circle deal it was less than $20! 

Tomorrow is my birthday, so I will pick it up then. Happy birthday to me!

I am trying to figure out what clearance price would be tempting enough for me to buy any of these.  Would you buy them for $10 or $5?  I might be tempted to pick one up at $5 just for parts or customizing some day.

I've thought that same thing.  If I found one for 50% off would I buy it?  Probably not.  70% off?  Maybe.

Saw one of these at Apple Valley Target today next to two R4s.  Equally unimpressive in person.

I disagree. I think it's a fun set. Now that being said not enough to pay $25 apiece for all of them.

Hence my question above...

I believe you said you might pick one up for $5 to customize. I like them more than that. Bought Target's. Have Amazon's on pre order and will skip the rest because Hasbro has been crazy lately hence my disagreement.....

I see.  I'm not willing to come close to full price for any of these, but might scoop them up for $5-8 on clearance.  Almost hope I don't find them for that.  They're interesting, but Star Wars and Christmas mashed together just feels odd to me.

It is odd. I think it's so odd and so gaudy that I like it. But I'm not surprised at all that they aren't for everyone. And I'm betting you will be able to find them for 70% off.

Are you guys ready for more frustration trying to track down another round of exclusive 6" Holiday Repaint/Kitbash Figures?  Jayson's saying Amazon and Walmart each have one for sure, maybe more.

I'm ready to pass on them like I did last year, unless of course they make something a lot more interesting than they made last year, but I'm assuming these will be like last years and I'll pass.
