2024 TVC Wave 7 (New TVC Wave 39)

[Jeff]

There is a VC312 The Mandalorian (Mines of Mandalore) that came out earlier this year.  People were mad that figure was a repack on a new card (it's basically the same Mando as the one that came with the N-1).  So, now comes this VC312A Mando, which is VC312 figure with a new jetpack and new hips.  They decided to call him VC312A for some reason.  Something about it being a tweak of slight upgrade to VC312 Mando. 

I think this is the third "A" in TVC.

There was a TROS Sith Trooper that was VC162 that had a VC162A variant at Amazon with extra weapons...

There is also the recent Salacious Crumb.  The version in the new Jabba set is VC66A since they wanted the original from 2011 to keep it's value for folks who have it already from that SDCC Death Star set.

Looks like the Amazon link is live now although it does say out of stock, I was able to add them to my cart and purchase with no release date.

Similar to what happened to you Jeff.

Got my K-2SO today.  I can't remember if this has been mentioned, but it's not a repack.  There are some pretty significant paint differences, plus new wrist articulation.  Definitely a significant enough variant to open.

I also just got a shipping notice for Thrawn from Pulse.

Hmmm, maybe I'm not seeing it? I had a few of the first K-2SO (they did come from tunghori, so they likely have issues) and compared them to the new one. The wrist articulation seems to be the same, but maybe just loosened some? My original versions all had mostly frozen wrist joints, but they were there. The only paint app differences I noticed were some slight weathering variations, but were pretty close.

Do you have a good comparison pic?

Oh ****, I wonder if I grabbed the old Forcelink one that I’d totally forgot existed and compared it to that before opening this one and posting that. 🤦‍♂️

Thanks for getting us all worked up Rob!
