Black Series 6" Holocomm Collection

Jedi Idej:
I don't collect the 6" scale so i have no skin in the game. These are different enough to have a "cool" factor. Not $35 cool, but others might feel differently.

From what i believe of 6" buyers -- an opinion strictly based on what Hasbro designers have said; youtube; conspiracy theories; and Mel Gibson movies -- these will sell enough to be slightly profitable.

On the other hand, if Hasbro came out with these in the 3.75" line, I'd scratch my head bald and wonder why they wasted retailer slots on characters we haven't seen as holograms...as I'm writing Hasbro's team member's names on my torch and pitchfork.  >:D

Nicklab:
This is definitely more creative than the carbonized line or the credit collection.  But the character selection is questionable.

I had to REALLY think about why this would work for Han Solo - until someone pointed out that the red lettering is "WANTED" in Aurrebesh.  It's supposed to be a bounty puck.  But we only ever see a couple of those in The Mandalorian.  We also saw a WANTED bulletin go out for Obi-Wan in the second episode of the OWK series - so it really would have made sense to offer Obi-Wan in this line if you're trying to be true to the entertainment.

I get that the characters are fairly high profile at this time.  But relevance would make these land better with collectors and fans who know the source material.

McMetal:
Smarter people than I around the internets have made the comparison to the Star Trek sparkly Transporter figures from years back and those were not popular at all, iirc. They were also a clear sign that the line was coming to an end in the near future. 😬
