Ah right.  That’s the ANH haircut too, so still no matches.

I can't tell if you guys are joking, but I'm calling total bull**** if that ends up being what it is.

I'm 100% convinced that Grogu's arc was supposed to end after season 2 with Luke taking him off for training, and that some pencil pushing ******* at Disney imagined a world without Baby Yoda sales and demanded that they write him back into the Mandalorian, which was the sole reason we had that spin off episode in BOBF.

And now here they are, with him as an accessory, trying to figure out how to make him important.  They may very well make him "the" Mandalorian, but I'll never believe that was the plan all along.

Trying to get to the bottom of this... here are images of 7 Chewbaccas that use the sculpt... although only the VOTC and Co-Pilot ones use the ROTJ haircut...  I don't see any matches so far.

What other releases of this figure am I missing?

I opened up a pair of these last weekend and even if they’re not really different, I’m glad to have a few more and I really do like the way you can use the stand to set them at a height like they’re parked.  I don’t know if I can justify a bunch more of the at this price, but if they go on sale I’d like to get a few more.

I ordered them from Pulse about 4 hours ago and already got a shipping notice.  That's by far the fastest I've ever had that happen with Pulse.

Yeah makes sense.  He probably doesn't want to deal with 200 open orders too and having to cross reference all that and hold it all...

I managed to get a Baby Bantha last night... not sure why, but I decided I didn't want to pass for now, decide I want one later, and find out that it was a really small run.

Meanwhile, second batch of ProCustomFigures stuff just got here.  I bought 6 of the pilots last time I did an order, but the first image and last two pilots in the second got here today:

I never got a notice but sure enough in my account it says arriving Saturday.

Not sure what to make of that.   In theory if the economy slows enough people have to lower prices to get people buying again.  But one Target doesn’t make a trend and just about everything seems to be $16.99.

Nice.

From the review Matt posted, the paint apps look new... but they're just comparing it to one iteration of this Chewbacca, and Hasbro has used it lots of times.

Has anyone seen anything definitive about whether it's a new paint scheme or matches an existing one?

Yeah, at $45 I'm thinking about buying two.  At $60 I'm definitely buying one and waiting for clearance beyond that.

PR Blurb says $54.99, site is charging $59.99.   ::)  Boo!

It'll be Buy-one-get-one-half-off eventually on one of these sites...

It looks like they tried to color match the figure/soft goods to some of these TBOBF Tusken Raiders, but the accuracy of the belts/gear is lacking because they are all based off the VC199 sculpt/gear.

Eh, close enough I guess.  They do have the general feel of that type of Tusken Raider.

Are these all based on BOBF Tuskens?

Really nice use of repurposing if so.

I saw a post on Rebelscum about the baby banthas but thought it was a joke.

I don’t get it.  For $39 I might buy one buy why a baby Bantha?  Seems like a lot of extra work for a $40 item.

I’m ready for Bespin Luke… holiday special Fett… rebel fleet troopers… grey Jawa… but I don’t want to preorder individually from his site and pay international shipping prices on each, so I’m waiting for them to show up in the US.

Oh awesome.  That'll make it easy to just buy them when I see them.
