The Vintage Collection / Re: San Diego Comic Con 2024 Reveals

Was kind of hoping we would get a look at the new Luke, Han, Kenobi, and Chewie but oh well.

They have to save something for Hasbro Pulse Con in October!  ;)

At the start of SDCC, Hasbro had 17 pipeline reveals still in the hopper.  They revealed 10 of those for the show.  That's a nice showing, but a little disappointing there were no new surprises in there since it was all from the pipeline reveals.

With the 8 SDCC pipeline reveals, we're back up to 15 in the hopper.  I am hoping there will be more in store for us at Pulse Con than just the 15 figures currently in the pipeline...  I'd love a "Return to Tatooine" surprise or two (Ubrikkian 9000 Landspeeder, all-new Dewback, all-new Sandtrooper troop builder set, etc.) at Pulse Con.

Also, we're actually getting (what I assume is) the Jabba from the Sail Barge later this year!

Yes - Hasbro confirmed that the Jabba coming with the playset/dais is a repack of the HasLab Sail Barge Jabba (which was a repaint of the 2015 TRU Rancor Pit box set Jabba).

Are we ever going to get any figures from Andor?

While all the hardcore nerds seem to love Andor, it was the lowest rated/watched D+ show according to the Nieisen numbers through Ahsoka - I am not sure how it fares against the new Acolyte show.

I think it goes (by average viewers)
Mando S1
Mando S2
Mando S3
Kenobi
BOBF
Ahsoka
Andor
***Here's a reddit thread that backs that order up

I think Jayson has a K-2SO repack in his rumor list for the Fall and then Dedra is all so far for TVC.  BS6" is getting Dedra and a new Cassian in 2025 so maybe there is still hope for more.  It could be that they are just saving things so they have stuff for when S2 happens?

I really like the decision to put the DLX stuff back on a card (like that Spider/Mando/Grogu set) and not in the dumb boxes that were mostly empty packages.

Cobb Vanth and Blurrg look great.  Very happy to see Shin and Balyan pipelines, so dumb that we have to wait until 2025 to finally get them.  Same with Dedra.

I genuinely think the difference is people working on something they love and are passionate about versus people just doing a job.

100%.  When I watch the Joe panels and see Lenny and crew, gushing about how they captured the mustache on Gung-Ho to match the 80s figure - it's obvious they care and they want the fans to love it.

It's a far cry from the "what a great expression of the character we all know from the entertainment" and you're pretty sure that person doesn't quite know who the character is or what SW movie show they are from.

As I come across folks planning to livestream the Hasbro panel (2pm PT/5pm ET), I'll try to post them here:

Imperial Communique (aka inactive forum member Darth_Anton) - https://www.youtube.com/live/xyR9WhgMiQc

I think Hasbro is planning to livestream as well, but they have not posted a direct link yet...

edit:
Actually, Hasbro did their own thing in the booth, which they have here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzmQO676pQw

(it's funny because the Hasbro video wants you to think it was after the panel, but it got posted to youtube DURING the panel so it was obviously pre-recorded).

Wuher and the Tonnika Sisters would be a little tougher

Hasbro was pretty upfront that Greedo/Nabrun would get re-issues at some point if they unlocked.  I'm sure Arleil will get made too (Hasbro probably assumed all three would get unlocked and probably already has plans for them at retail).

Of the other three, I could see Wuher being re-released in some form somewhere down the line (some pack with Evazon or Ponda or something) but I just don't know about the sisters.  Their whole history was so weird and so "we're never going to do them".  We don't really know why LFL finally relented.  Maybe part of the deal to make them here was that they'd only ever be in this set? 

Of course on the other hand saying "we're never going to do this" and then releasing them in two different ways next year would be very on brand for the "everything gets reused" SW team these days.

$50 cheaper than the Cantina, yet this one has electronics.  ::)

That LFL SW license is crazy expensive, man!  :-X

I said it before in the other HasLab thread but the GI Joe team has done a great job converting the 3.75" base into 6" buyers by drawing a hard line in the sand.  3.75" still exists for those who want it but you have to go someplace else (Super7 retro, Hiya Toys super-articulated).  Hasbro's money is focused squarely on the 6" stuff.

This line has SO much going for it right now:
- the fact that every figure comes with built-in "resell ability" (boxed release, retro card release, then a night force/python/tiger/crimson repaint)
- the line doesn't have the licensing cost that SW does so each figure makes Hasbro more money than a BS6" figure does since they are at the same price point

Those two combined allows them to offer more all-new figures/parts, put more money into tooling for things that also can get re-used (motorcycles, VAMP/Stinger, etc).  Just feels like they are swimming laps around the BS6" stuff right now.
