Is this just a packaging variation of what will be available at retail later this fall?

Three exclusives no one will be able to get seems like overkill IMHO.  ::)

But at least it's just packaging, which is the least offensive of all con exclusives.

+1.  An exclusive packaging version is probably the least offensive of exclusives.

I have a friend who's attending SDCC that is trying to score an exclusive Obi-Wan for me.  But I'm not going to ask them to get me the exclusive Jyn Erso.  I can wait for the general release version.

Yeah her pack-in doesn't even seem quite as nifty as the Stormtrooper's little book last year which was actually kinda neat.  She has like a little threat dossier type thing.  Kinda cool, but really just looks like some (albeit sweet) Stephen Hayford photography work as a pack-in.  Cool, but not cool enough to blow too much $.

I do wish Hasbro made a little more than they seem to, to share after the show.  That alone would alleviate some of the manic behavior people have after SDCC every year, but hey, it's a con and exclusive once again means something...  plus how many years did Hasbro make oodles available and get burned on it?  So **** happens I guess.

BTW am I the only one who thinks this figure looks incredible?  I saw tons of bitching about her sculpt/likeness like that Leia figure.  I don't see the correlation but some seem to think this looks bad.  Not I.  That's a kickass sculpt I thought.

I think the sculpt is great. I don't know it 100% looks like the actress, but it's light years beyond whatever is going on with Leia right now. I think the packaging on this is fun but like the TFA trooper last year, non essential. I like the green though. I actually thought they'd be changing up the look this fall as they typically do, and green would probably be the color choice due to the Death Trooper's apparent greenish accents.

Yeah I'll wait for the wide release.

Figure looks great and I like the packaging, but I'll pass if I can't get it for cheap.  I like that the exclusive offering isn't too much beyond what we commoners can get our hands on.

Yeah Obi Wan is the only one I'd be tripping over myself trying to get I think.  The accessory is too cool.  The others are just ok though.

I got one of these from Hasbro.  It's nice... but I have no idea who Jyn Erso is or what she does (trying to avoid spoilers, thanks).

Guess I will have to decide whether I actually want to keep it or not until after the movie comes out. :P

Well she's hot, I can say that. :P

I'm shocked they cranked out 3 exclusives at SDCC.  I'm wondering if Jyn's going to be any different when released to  stores?  Maybe no head wrap thing?  Hmmm.

I have a feeling she will be just like the stromtrooper last year. Just a different box.

You don't need to have a feeling, Hasbro already said (and showed (http://jedidefender.com/index.php?id=2156)) exactly that.  :P

All three of the SDCC figures will be re-issued in the basic 6" Black Series line in the Fall, minus the special bits (no cards for Jyn; no table and Anakin saber for Obi-Wan; no stand, banner, and helmets for Kylo).
