He's Dexter Jettster with lightsabers.

Oh man, yet another opportunity for a Hasbro double-dip / parts re-use.  No wonder they planted votes to get him into the final two. >:D

I'm mixed on the soft-goods vs plastic robe. Plastic looks better overall but I normally prefer soft goods for pose-ability.

My gut tells me you will see a soft goods version of this sculpt sometime in the future, like in a box set or something.  Just feels clearly designed for a double-dip like that (or maybe my double-dip radar is just over active these days :P).

Pong Krell?  ???

Huh.  More power to the TCW fans, I guess for rallying behind their guy.

Did they give a preorder time for these and are we sure that Dark Trooper is a straight re-pack?

Sorry, that blurb was in the other thread -> "both available for pre-order 3/27 at 1pm ET at Amazon, Hasbro Pulse and other major retailers."

It is supposed to be a straight repack, but you know how that goes where sometimes there is some difference in the paint apps or whatever (like the little red dots on the chest plate or some random silver highlights).

Looks like today's reveals belong in this wave.  (They're really going to pack the Dark Trooper at x2 in the assorted case?  ???)

Yay, a VC271. That gap was annoying my OCD. Too bad it is just a lackluster repack I don't really need more of.

Yeah, seems like a hard sell at $17 when you can still get the Deluxe version for $15+ at Amazon or Pulse Outlet.

Another one strictly for the carded collectors, I guess.

-The OT generation is aging out as a cohort
-Hasbro has had almost 30 years to cover the OT through the years, and they've covered an exhaustive number of characters.  So who's left?
-What OT characters would be truly new in the 3.75" scale?  And can you rally people behind that character to support them?  To me this is a big one.

I feel like the future of OT deep cut figures is going to be the Pulse exclusive carded multi-packs.  Stuff like the Skiff Guard 3-pack (tied to the Barge) and the Jabba Goons 4-pack (tied to the Jabba playset).  Both those sets delivered all-new OT characters to our collections.

Old man OT collectors can afford a $70-80 hit for a carded 4-pack of stuff that has no chance at basic retail - something like:
- Baniss Keeg/Tzizvvt/Hammerhead/Wuher
- Fozec/Shasa Tiel/Yotts Oren/Gallid

Feels like something like that, where they can charge a little more ($20 each) and control the volume as an open pre-order on Pulse, has a much more realistic chance of getting all-new OT characters made. 

If Hasbro can't find TVC slots for characters that already got BS6" figures like Baze, Bohdi, Luthen, Bix, Dedra, 5th Brother, Tala, etc., then how are they ever going to find a TVC slot for dudes like Fozec or Tzizvvt?  :-\

No idea why, but R2-D2 is now down to $9.97 this morning...   hooray for Amazon pre-order guarantee so I don't have to do the 'cancel and re-order' thing. 

I ordered a second this morning because hey, why not for less than $10.
