I could be mistaken, but I think the Entertainment Earth Droid 6-Pack came out after Mosep, and had R2-C2 and R2-A5 for the first time ever.  If so, that was the last time I can recall.

EDIT:  Wasn't one of the Skiff Guards in the 3-Pack from a couple of years ago technically an all new character?

I didn't count the droids in that pack because they were repaints of an existing sculpt.

Oh, yeah - Vedain in the TVC 3-pack in 2019.  So ONE all-new OT figure in 2015 and then ONE all-new OT figure in 2019.  Look for ONE all-new OT figure in 2023, I guess! :P

Using old sculpts to make new characters / droids / whatever doesn't bother me.  They count as far as I'm concerned.  But even if you did count them, it's sad how rare it is to just get a brand new cool figure.  At least Mandalorian is getting some attention, but we're heading into season 3 and have what, a dozen figures made?! 

I'm not one to incessantly complain about Hasbro, but I wish they'd change leadership for this brand to someone who appreciates the grand scheme more...

I think it is time for new blood on the Hasbro Star Wars team.  Hopefully, they can find someone who has actually watched Star Wars...I'm not 100% sure anyone on this team has.


For crying out loud, it's about an hour before the livestream and they don't even have a link up yet!

Ah, the TVC pipeline reveals.  Where to start?

I was working during the livestream so I couldn't completely focus on what was being said.  I am hoping that Yoda is not a pure reissue.  Because the VC-20 Yoda figure is a bit of a bastard. 
-It was released with both Revenge Of The Sith and Return of the Jedi cardbacks (the image on the ROTJ card is from TESB)
-Is this supposed to be a ROTS or TESB Yoda?  Because they look different
-The cloak / robe is different.  ROTS version should be cleaner and have a hood.  TESB version should be dirtier and have no hood
-TESB Yoda should have the belt and flute (like the Cave of Evil release)
-The accessories are pure Revenge Of The Sith

....Hasbro should figure this out.  Try making distinctly different versions of Yoda - PLEASE!

501st Clone Trooper?  Yes, please.  A good reissue.

And the really new reveals?  Glad to see that Death Watch Airborne Trooper and Figrin Dan.  The closest thing Figrin Dan ever got to a basic card release was in a Walmart exclusive multipack, but that was still years ago.  It's about time one of the Cantina band members got a basic figure release, and this one really makes sense.

I'd be happy with the Black Series 3.75" ESB Yoda.  Such a fantastic figure!

The 501st Clone Trooper - if they use the Jesse/Fives/Echo tooling, I'm in for a legion of these figures!

Death Watch Airborne Trooper - I'm in for a enough to make a large squad.

Frigin Dan - Really?  I might buy one.
This is the way.

I still want new characters, but that Bib Fortuna is gorgeous.

Agree...but Bib Fortuna and Lobot are needed to finish the 96, so I'm happy.

I just worry that finishing the 96 is about pulling the plug on the 3.75" scale.  So I'm nervous.

At least they'll have to do Sim Aloo to make it happen...

Are the Lobot and Bib figures new, or just repainted / photo real?

Both are all-new.

Would love to see the army builder packs carried over to other types of troops.

So in an hour and a half, the list of stuff that goes live is...

Retro Stormtrooper Prototype
Troop Builder Pack
Teebo
Lando
IG-11
Palpatine

Bib Fortuna and Lobot, or no?

Am I missing anything in TVC / 3.75" scale?
