Mine came in the mail over the weekend and I was excited to get home to some new droids. They’re pretty sweet. The new astromech domes are nice and have some modular design built into them for I’m guessing possible reuse later with different possible attachments or whatnot.
The security droid is kind of an army builder, and it’d be cool to have a couple, but the price obviously makes that a tough proposition.
The champion of the box is the boatman over the river styx. He’s def cool and would make a neat astromech with the right legs. He’s completely clean which doesn’t jive with my memory of him in the show but that’s ok. His joints needed heating to loosen some of them, however his main joints at the hip and shoulders are kinda on the loose side, and his heavy nature makes him topple easily. Once I got him posed right he holds ok but he def could fall with the slightest fart crosswise. His oar is I think similar or meant to be similar to or same as the weird staffs the Mustafar bug looking dudes had. Weird we got figures of them now that I think about that. Anyway the oar is way big though and a heavy accessory.
He makes me really long for the boat now, which given the stuff 3D dudes now I’m sure it exists or will shortly. 🤷♂️
Overall a fun set. Now I want the blind box droids. Hell, I love the boxes even.
