Black Series Snowspeeder with 6" Dak Ralter
« on: February 17, 2020, 04:55 PM »
Sounds like there are some "rumors" out there that we could see a "Star Wars The Black Series Snowspeeder Deluxe Vehicle" announced at Toy Fair...  I'd say that sounds about right with the 40th anniversary of ESB this year.  ;)

Ouch.  I love that ship.  That would be a tough one to pass on...

6 inch scale Snowspeeder will be interesting because scale wise, it's a really small vehicle and could probably be done for $100. I'd assume it's a little larger than the $60 vehicle/speeder line. I want one but yikes, do I not have the space for it

I hope this rumor proves true!  The Snowspeeder is certainly doable in the 6” scale and there’s tons of potential for detail, working features, etc.  The FO Tie fighter they did several years ago was awesome, but those wings took up a bit of space...  A snowspeeder wouldn’t be nearly as bulky and it would likely sell better as it’s an OT vehicle.  I’d definitely be down for one if it becomes a reality  8)

Is Snowspeeder Luke rumored to be released?  If both rumors pan out, we’d need Dack to ride “harpoon-gun”.  Perhaps a pack-in?

Jayson is teasing Dak as a potential pack-in: 6″ scale Snowspeeder with Dak? Now that is interesting….

A 6” scale snowspeeder seems like it’s within the realm of possibility.  And a pack-in Dak Ralter is a cool bonus, too.  And IIRC there has been a rumor circulating about a 6” Snowspeeder pilot Luke Skywatcher, too.

Thanks, Jayson.  I'm pretty sure I heard about this from either you or Jeff, but didn't want to assume...  ;D

I've backed away from the 6 inch line. But, I have to have that snow speeder. Looks fantastic!

Along with the Falcon, the Snowspeeder was the only other Star Wars vehicle I had as a kid, so it has always been one of my favorites. Even with space ever dwindling, I don’t think I can pass on this. It looks great too.

Side note, it really shows the shift in popular scales where - outside of the little TVC we saw - everything else (Black Series, Marvel Legends, Ghostbusters, G.I. Joe, Power Rangers) is 6” scale. It does make me worry a little about the longevity of 3 3/4” stuff. It seems like the rest of the lines generally have a $10 “kid” line, and a $20-25 “collector” line.

That Snowspeeder looks amazing!  It seems like a big and even more detailed version of the TVC/Saga one we got about a decade ago.  No way I’m passing this up.

This might be the coolest Star Wars thing every made.  So impressed with the idea and the execution.  I'll probably get one.  ;)

Anyone know if this is still slated for a July 2020 release? It can’t be that far out as there are already product reviews appearing on YouTube and Hasbro Pulse is showing in stock.
