Not what I expected for VC300, but Hera is a good choice. The figure looks great. I, too, am surprised to see just how different the two versions of Hera look. I would guess that based on what they said about Zeb & Ezra, their main-line live-action versions will look pretty different from the HasLab mural versions.

It was so hard to narrow it down to only 25... I originally had the mains on my list but decided to drop them. There is no way we aren't going to get them in the line again and I wanted to give their slots to some less likely figures. I also dropped most of the Rebels figures from my list given The Ghost is coming out. Hasbro knows that we want figures to fill out the ship and Rebels is getting a lot of love. I think those will come out at some point soon, too. I tried picking some figures that Hasbro could reuse parts from to make other new figures. In the end, most of my choices are from the OT era. If I put this off much longer I think my list could completely change. Realistically, I'd happily take any of the 175 choices we had here.

Mine arrived today as well. The Massiff is excellent, it's nice to see a creature (even just a small one) back in the line again. I had forgotten to cancel my single-carded Tusken Warrior, so she's just a duplicate but she is still a very nice figure. If these ever go on clearance I am down for a few more to get a couple extra Massiffs, even though we are sure to see the Massiff in some other sets down the road.

The only thing I am not happy with is the giant red Target UPC barcode sticker that was slapped on the front of the box. 

EE finally shipped my case of these figures.

Nice! I finally just got my Clones from EE yesterday too.

Just got my set and my complaint about putting specific characters in these sets is not as glaring as the 212th Clone set and the upcoming Imperial Officer set.  The Chieftain can easily be used as a generic Tusken just give him the "extra" normal gaffi stick or the second rifle.

I agree. I think the lack of a human face helps in that regard, and having easily swappable soft-good robes. I do enjoy this set overall. I'm glad they added the new leg articulation, even considering they just re-used the legs from VC245 Obi-Wan and they aren't that accurate. The soft-goods generally cover the skinnier legs and hide them not having the cloth wrappings. They allow the figure to sit on a speeder bike or a bantha.

Found a third Phase II Clone at Target today... they're still selling them for $12.99 for some reason, and I'm not complaining.  It's the only reason I'm buying multiples.  I've found 3 so far, would buy 3 more if I can find them at that price.

Nice, I still have yet to see this wave, with the exception of Cassian, at retail at all. I preordered the wave (mixed between Amazon, Pulse, & EE) and got all of my preorders a month ago, with the exception of the clone. I still have not seen him anywhere yet. Hopefully EE will get him in soon.

At least they got the colors right on the production version. All the press pics had him closer to Chewie's coloring.

I guess this is fine.  But it’s an $18 robe.

It kind of looks like a new headsculpt to me, but it could also just be the paint app. The right hand is definitely new. I wonder if they snuck in any other changes and plan on giving us a new ANH Chewie at some point?

The hand is definitely new so he can hold the life day orb thingy.  The head... agree that it looks new, but there are so many Chewie heads out there it could be just a repaint.

FWIW, in an interview with Vic from Vic's Cantina, Patrick & Chris confirmed the head & hands are new sculpts on this version of Chewie. (There are lots of good questions in the interview overall too, it's worth a watch.)
