My Black Series purchases have been few and far between lately. But this might be one that I pick up.

The Vintage Collection / Re: JediDefender Wishlists 2023/24: The Eras Tour: Troop Builder 4-Packs
« on: April 2, 2024, 07:20 AM »
I'm going to bail on the prerequisite that 4-packs be built on an existing figure. If it already exists? Great. If not? Take notes, Hasbro!

Iain's stands should work for you. When you buy them in substantial quantities he can offer a good discount.

Not bad!
STAR WARS The Vintage Collection Speeder Bike, Return of The Jedi 3.75-Inch Collectible Vehicle with Action Figure - $18.03
STAR WARS The Vintage Collection Speeder Bike, Scout Trooper & Grogu, The Mandalorian 3.75-Inch Vehicle & Action Figures - $31.45
The price on the Mandalorian version is closer to what I think most collectors would be comfortable paying. I would probably max it out at $34.99. Whether or not Hasbro can read the room and adjust prices accordingly? I guess we'll know more when the Blurrg and Mando get released.

Season 1 Ezra seems like the biggest missing piece from the crew, despite the 2 x Ezra's that have already been revealed. Beyond that? The characters that might interact with the Ghost the most might be old man Rex and Ahsoka (season 2). You wouldn't have to twist my arm for an AP-5, either.

Has anyone been to the parks recently? I'm tempted to get another one of these. I'm going later this year, and wonder if they might be available there or not.

I've had some decent experience with this seller's stands for both 3.75" and 6" figures.

If you're looking for flight pose stands? Hasbro Pulse has some. And I've also seen some NECA stands at Target of all places - but in the collectibles section that's usually next to their electronics department.

Agreed on the size of the helmet. But I think a removable helmet will almost never look quite right since all of the AOTC troopers were digital characters - there was no need for the helmet to be functional and for an actual person to wear it. If you look at some of the close up shots of troopers during the battle of Geonosis, it looks as if there's no way that helmet could be removed unless it split apart somehow.
But the one thing that's notably better here? The visor on the helmet! I don't know how Hasbro dropped the ball so badly on the phase II armor's visor. Thankfully this looks a hell of a lot better.

The two on the left look like they were released that way! But the two on the right have a little too much facial hair to be convincing Imperials. That's something that always gets me with some Imperial custom figures - too much facial hair. The Empire always struck me as a bit too uptight for that sort of thing.

I'd buy it, too. And Hasbro damn well knows that they can't say "But the paint is so much more expensive!"
It's the Fett Tax all over again.

It was definitely an exercise in tension. And it also seemed to be doing some setup work for a future episode.
