2025 TVC Wave 1 (New TVC Wave 40)

[Rob]

Man, no noticed for these and no updates for the Ghost still.  I’m feeling left out.

[Jeff]

Not to rub it in Rob's face, but I just got a shipping notice for Indara and Dedra now too - they will be here Friday 1/10 according to Amazon.

[Rob]

I’m very happy for you. 

[Nicklab]

My Amazon order page still has the entire wave listed with February 18 delivery dates.

All five arrived today from Amazon...

My Luke's arrived from Amazon today as well. What a long-needed improvement to one of the most important characters/outfits/figures in all of Star Wars. I'm very happy with him, glad I ordered a few. I can't remember the last time I liked a new Luke so much.

[Ryan]

Got my case from EE this weekend, and was a little bummed out. They changed the case ratio from what was listed so that it came w/ two Anakin's & one Dedra Meero, instead of the other way around. Including the individuals I had ordered from Amazon, I ended up with four total Anakin's instead of three, and one less Dedra than I wanted. I guess I'll have to return an Anakin to Amazon and pick up an extra Dedra instead.

The case assortment issue aside, this was a really strong wave to start off the year. There wasn't a stinker in the wave. The only repaint in the wave is an army builder and technically speaking is a variant we didn't already have since it is based on the Ahsoka appearance rather than AOTC or TCW. Indara is a great Jedi figure (regardless of my indifference towards the source material). Dedra felt way more new than some of the initial pictures, and is an excellent figure. The Skywalkers are both phenomenal figures, but Luke is the star of the wave.

I did a review of the Luke figure.

Nice to have a definitive version of an original 12 figure!

I got the Master Indara when I got the Luke...nice figure for the Jedi shelf.

Just received the Clone Trooper and Dedra Meero figures today.  Nice, kind of wish the Dedra Meero came with a hat.

I passed on the Anakin.

[Rob]

So I realized after the snafu in the other thread that I cancelled all my Amazon preorders for this wave because I thought my Pulse preorders were shipping soon... now I realize they didn't ship and are not shipping soon.

So I was able to go right to Amazon and order the Clone, Indara, and Anakin... Luke is expected to ship on February 23.  Dedra Meero isn't available.

Things are getting weird again.

[Scott]

Man this Luke is amazing, although there are few older heads that have a bit better likeness the body sculpting, articulation and paint jobs are phenomenal.  Glad a I bought a few as well!

While I'm happy I have Dedra Meero....she's not that exciting of a figure.  Should've come with a hat at least.

I think Dedra Meero's figure is pretty good.  Not perfect.  I've seen a lot of criticism about the legs relative to the rest of the body.  And there might be a case to be made for different lower legs.  Other than that?  I think a datapad would be a good accessory for her.

I would actually like to see Hasbro come up with a trenchcoat for the Imperial Officers.  Dedra Meero has the Imperial cap and a trenchcoat on in at least a couple of episodes of ANDOR in season 1.  And there are a number of officers with the trenchcoat in new media.  I know I've seen them in Rogue One, Solo and Andor.

Agree that tossing in a hat and a datapad would have been a nice touch.  I miss the days when there was extra budget and we would have gotten both of those accessories and a stolen Imperial Starpath unit (with the seal still intact).

I'm just happy that we got another main character from Andor so I'll take the imperfections so long as they build out 5-6 key characters so you could reasonable have a small spot in your display that represented Andor.

[Rob]

Ideally they have done a full female imperial officer body so they don’t have to keep using the male body for women, but like some of you have said… I’m just happy they’re making her at all. 

I’m not as picky about accuracy as people on social media… I just want variety and Hasbro isn’t so good at that anymore.
