The Vintage Collection / Re: Wal-Mart ARC Commander Havoc
« on: October 9, 2022, 05:11 PM »

Got one as well. All promo pics show him with the helmet on so I guess it doesn’t come off??

I’d think it’s a pretty safe bet that it’s a slight retool and repaint of the six other ARC troopers they’ve released in the last two years and all of their helmets came off. 

From what I can tell it kind of looks like the headsculpt might be cast in a solid black color and glued into the helmet (like we saw on the VC211 Elite Squad Trooper).

Just saw one of the Q&A from last week and Hasbro did say the helmet is removable.

You can definitely expect more Clone Wars figures (from both series) coming with that "Clone Wars 20" logo on the card.  Not sure if the whole line is Walmart exclusive or not though.

Hopefully not all clones.  ::)

Agree. During the prequel and animation Clone Wars hey-day, I burned out on the troops. The prices a lot of the later clones commanded years later is a good indication many skipped them at first like I did. Hopefully Hasbro is more selective with their character choice and doesn ’t continue with their barrage of clone re-deco.

I was on the fence with Havoc, and with it being $17, surprised pre-orders sold out the first day.

I would be very surprised if Hasbro came out with SA 3.75" figs from the new movie. I would be happy if they just re-released the last wave from the previous line.

And there's the Bith cantina patron.

TV-9D9 / Re: Andor (SPOILERS possible)

Loved the GoT guy. His roasts were smooth.

I actually felt bad for Syril after thinking how much of a prick he was in the beginning. Over zealous but, from his pov, he was just trying to do his job.

The dude playing Lucen is fantastic. Different faces.

Anyone watch Doctor Who? There is a character named Strax. The seargent reminds me of him.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: Hasbro Selfie Series

It would have been fun to get my youngest nieces and nephews made out as padawans, but:

- jedi aren't offered (likely, as mentioned above, other exposed skin not matching the color of the face)
- the extra $20 per is a kick in the 'nads
- I recall when this was introduced a few months back that 16 was the minimum age

On one side, between the blaster and leg, i see a nub painted the same as the rest of the firearm. No way a painting apparatus could have that pinpoint accuracy. I think that nub is glued into a slot on the leg.

I like this set. The security droid is a surprise like for me. I might get another set once/if the c1-940 goes on sale.

101
I ordered one of the e-web sets. Got it a few weeks ago. Then the next day I received another. Billed both times so it wasn’t a lucky score. Didn’t want to go through the hassle of returning so I kept the second. I scratch my head how something like this still happens with the millions corporations spend on software.

102
I want to clarify that mine was $50 + ~$11 shipping (plus tax). The least expensive from Japan I saw was ~$72 shipped (plus tax).

I figure the set will retail for $40-$43 at US Disney/outlets; a little bit more at onlines like MDS Collectibles.

These are back on ShopDisney. See Nick's link on the first post.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Rumored 2023 TVC Endor Bunker Playset

I'd rather have an Ewok Village than a bunker ste.

An Ewok Village would be cool but I see that hitting Haslab territory. I wouldnt mind a simple diorama with the log-lined flooring, hut facade and fire pit and funeral pyre accessories. (I never could figure out where the funeral pyre is in the village.)

If it is the same seller, looks like they are down to 5. Thanks for the heads-up. I was going to pull the trigger on a seller from Japan for $72 and change; this one saves me $10.
