Amazon Exclusive TVC Bad Batch Figure 4-Pack

[Dave]

Saw a post on Yakface pointing to Bantha Skull that details a Bad Batch 4-pack exclusive to Amazon. 

$60 preorders are today at 1PM ET.

You get Captain Rex, Clone Captain Grey, Clone Captain Ballast and an Elite Squad Trooper.

I love the concept of four packs and can even tolerate a repack mixed in.  This is a bit more expensive then I would like with the repaints and a repack, but at lease its newish.

I've advocated for it before and hope they continue this concept for The Mandalorian or one of the other media properties and get something more interesting then clones (Rogue One Rebel Pilots, Solo movie Sabbac game, TROS Knights of Ren, etc.).

Cool, hastily thrown together kitbashes of secondary characters instead of thought out iterations of the main characters. 

And $15 each!

It's a good signal to the community that the main characters are coming.  They are each unique characters that need their own tooling.

That version of Rex is a major improvement on the 3.75" Black Series version that was just reissued in The Vintage Collection.  And I've got to say that these might be some of the best Clone Trooper head sculpts that I've ever seen.  Plus the deco looks really good.

But seriously, they put in THOSE Clones and still have the wherewithal to call this a Bad Batch 4-pack?  I get the source material for all of the characters, but it defies belief that the first 3.75" scale figures from The Bad Batch series wouldn't include ANY of the members of  Clone Squad 99!

I'm also annoyed that they would offer a troop builder like the Elite Squad Trooper in this format.  Even if there are only 3 or 4 of these guys, it's a dick move by Hasbro.

 And I'll say it again. Amazon multi packs with repainted troops. And you guys are surprised? Don't buy it please then. I might get 2.

A good sign, yes.  And it makes you think that whichever members of the Bad Batch are coming next, they're probably going to be revealed in the next livestream.

Nice set, but very deflating. I'm certainly in the camp of happy to have these figures, but aghast at the fact that our first Bad batch figures aren't the Bad Batch. BUT, I can't see us not getting The Bad Batch themselves now.

Temporarily out of stock.  Did I miss this?

[Mister Skeezler]

I don't think so. I don't think they've gone up yet.

[Matt_Fury]

Just went live!

[Mister Skeezler]

Got 'em. To be honest, I'm really just buying this set for the Rex.

[Nicklab]

It's up now.  And priced $3 higher than the Bantha Skull article stated.
