2023 TVC Wave 2 (New TVC Wave 28 - ROTJ Repacks)

[Ryan]

Yakface is a bit different, mine just got here today and I was checking them out side by side. The new one doesn't have as dark of a wash on the head and the highlights on the hair are brighter & more pronounced.

I got the 2 x Wooof's I ordered the other day.  They don't look appreciably different from the original one that I have.  But I got these more for building out multiple ROTJ scenes (place AND sail barge) and/or kitbashing some goons for other scenes.

Yeah I just got Wooof and Kithaba.

I do agree with Ryan, the Yakface's head color was different enough that I opened it, but I don't see any appreciable difference in paint on these two. 

I'm returning these two.

I had Kithaba and the Nikto skiff guard arrive yesterday.  They look good, and I was surprised to get the cardbacks in good condition since I ordered them from Amazon. 

Part of me thinks that Hasbro is going to release a TVC Barada, but it’s going to be a repaint of Kithaba.

Rob, FWIW, I did notice that the Kithaba rerelease has elbow pins that now match the sleeve color. The original release had mismatched pins that were closer to the main-orangish shirt color.
