TV-9D9 / Re: The Acolyte (Disney+)
« on: December 17, 2024, 04:32 PM »
Well, since I turned Disney Plus back on for a month or two for Skeleton Crew, I finally watched the last 3 episodes of Acolyte.

They had a few moments in them that were okay, but none of it changed my opinion of the show, I still think it was awful and generic and predictable.  The only two things worth bringing up for me after it was that 1) it was cool to see live-action Plagueis even if just for a few seconds... and 2) that green lady Jedi sure did Sol dirty at the end.

Hopefully they can find a way for Plagueis to get into some other stories that are better than this one was...

If Electro Vader is built on the new Vader sculpt and not VC115, I'd be more interested in the set at full price...

78
Yeah I might do the same.  I think the CW Anakin is a decent enough double-dip... but a red lightsaber and a repack for the rest is really weak.

There it is, at that price I’m buying a second one to display with the helmet on. 

Have there been any wide release, in-store deluxe sets that haven’t found steep discounts layer?  I’m thinking about not buying them right away anymore.

I have to watch the 3rd one still, but like all of you I'm pleasantly surprised by this show.  I like that it seems to know what it is and isn't trying too hard and is sort of nailing that Goonies / Super8 / Kids-in-adult-sized-adventures thing pretty well.

X-Wing pilot Luke is $5.00 on Amazon right now fyi… I just snagged 3.

Rob - I'm not sure if you're serious or being sarcastic.  I know I don't plumb the depths of Star Wars discussion groups, but are people asking for Joruus C'boath (and kitbashed Thrawn and Palleon figures)??? 

Oh I'm serious.  Heir to the Empire was the greatest thing in the universe to me when I was a kid.  I read it so many times and have wanted a Joruus C'boath figure since the late 90's.  Palleon is a great add too, I don't need the Thrawn but the one they made back then is very very old so if it gets the other two done, I am fine with it. 

I do hope it leads to another handful of figures... Talon Karde, Luke, Jade...

I don't exactly plumb the depths of discussion groups either, but when Hasbro announced these figures in 6" scale, there was a lot of... chatter... about how 3.75" collectors have been asking for these for decades and boom, 6" gets them.

I don’t believe it. 

This is amazing.

A perfect way to re-use sculpts to give collectors what they’ve been asking for.

84
Yeah all of that plus this one is larger too.

On one hand I agree, on the other Stan Solo’s movie-accurate Greedo is a thing of beauty.  I’d love a walrus man in this approach:

Funny enough, I bought one at Target on Saturday and just opened it a few minutes ago... I don't know that I'd agree that it's passable... seems on par with the rest.  Here's my standard comparison shot: 




My big question at the moment is where to slot this one, I'd been assuming it was an Endor thing but they grey coloring has me thinking it goes with the Mandalorian stuff.

Looks like a fun assortment.  I'm curious about if the Walrus Man will be a Kenner re-do or made to look like a correct / movie accurate version of him, but from the 70's.

I think I'm going to have to disassemble my Lego UCS Star Destroyer to make room for it. :(

The two I found weren't in white boxes... just normal packaging with the four carded figures and a big ol' Ross price tag slapped on the corner.

Almost 104?!  Amazing.

My grandfather made it to 97 and his mom was 101 when she passed.  Hoping for their genes...
