San Diego Comic Con 2023 Reveals

[Jeff]

Following up on Nick's post - some good info in this Q&A -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bO4Y-ndAk4

Pipeline:
- TVC Dooku = 100% new
- TVC Axe Woves (TM Season 3) = kitbash of Target figure with S3 updates
- TVC Cassian = VC130 photoreal repaint

VC300 will be a "great figure", "especially for the moment"

Good details on the new TVC Jabba set (dais is repainted from the BOBF set version; all new railing; all-new hooka pipe & frog/snack, etc; Crumb is all new with articulation; 8D8 is all new with limited articulation - mostly flat-plane joints, no ball joints; etc)

Sim Aloo for 300.

- TVC Axe Woves (TM Season 3) = kitbash of Target figure with S3 updates

Here's a comparison image I found. I notice the chest armor changes, jumpsuit and belt color changes, a different holster, and mods to the jetpack. All changes are on the minor side though. I'd much rather have had a S1 or a S3 Greef Karga, any other new Mandalorian, or literally anything else new.

[Dave]

Yeah, I don’t feel like I need a slightly different axe woves.   It would have been nice getting something all new.

[Matt_Fury]

All they really need to do with Axe Woves is fix the helmet.  With the information at hand, my guess is that VC-300 will be the S3 Grogu.   

[Rob]

If I never got another Grogu figure again that would be just fine.  They ran him right into the ground.

I would honestly want Grogu in the IG-12 "suit". (Then I'd be done.)

If they can figure out how to use existing the IG-11 and existing Grogu, I'm sure you'll get it.

We need a LIKE button for posts like this, LOL!

I think we'll get a Marshal IG-11 before we get IG-12.  It's probably going to take some time for Hasbro to figure out how to make IG-12.  When they do?  I see a new deluxe figure in our futures.  And I get the feeling that Grogu's new ride was probably something that was held back from Hasbro this season.

I'm going to be an ******* and say I wish we'd get a photoreal Jyn Erso to go with Cassian Andor. I know, I'm a terrible person.

But also: Saw Guerrera, Mon Mothma, Bodie Rook, Base Malbus...all sorely missing from our collections. Aside from the stupid removable helmet, I didn't see a problem with Axe Woves. And my collection didn't feel incomplete not having the Mandalorian dude who briefly answered the Armorer's hails about the Empire attacking.

I don't think a photoreal Jyn is a terrible idea.  But I think some smart re-use might be good in her case - make it into a Jedha version, perhaps?

I was actually thinking about the Cassian announcement earlier today.  And it came to me that the photo real Cassian release might be timed to coincide with the release of Krennic.  Krennic was one of those 5 pipelined villains from a few months ago.  All of those figures have been revealed now except for Krennic.  Maybe these are being saved for a Hasbro Pulse Con reveal?
