Here's how today's reveal shapes up against the cash grab first version:

Definitely better than the Chewbacca repaint.
-
It's $33.99

I'm definitely interested in getting this Krrsantan. But I'm not preordering any Black Series items at this point unless it's something that I absolutely need to get.

Another Hasbro #doubledip - they just announced this TBOBF Cad Bane and he's already getting paired up with a stripped down Cobb Vanth. ::)
This might be a Target exclusive... https://www.target.com/p/-/A-87880900

If I were to get the Book of Boba Fett Cad Bane, Hasbro just made it really easy to decide which one to get. I'm just wondering who made the decisions about some of these double dipping releases?
EDIT - Per Jayson, this version of Cad Bane has a different head, blast effects and the flame accessory for Bane's flamethrower gauntlet.

Is there anyone still trying to "collect them all" for Black Series?
I just wonder why they would issue such a similar figure pack to what was just released and still coming. Are there that many people that want both versions of Cad Bane and Cobb Vanth? These two aren't even hardcore fan favorites.

I am, but I’ve literally never heard of anyone else online who still is, so it must be a pretty small fraternity. It’s super hard and not cheap.
Anyway, I picked up the new Target 2-pack just now, it’s live if anyone else is interested. :)

Mando Captain and R5-D4 - https://www.starwars.com/news/mando-mania-week-8

Is the Mando Captain included in the bundle, or is it just R5-D4?
The Mando Captain is in the image, but I don't see any mention of him.
Personally I'd prefer if its just R5-D4 and not a $55 bundle of the two of them.

They have revised the pic to just R5-D4 - I guess the Mando Fleet Captain guy was just an oopsie for now.
R5-D4 should be a $25 basic figure.

Anybody compare this release of R5-D4 to the prior release? Anything noteworthy?

I am not a Black Series expert but I have heard that it uses the same body as the new ROTJ 40th Anniversary R2-D2 (with all the tools and extendable head). So a new sculpt from his last appearance in the Black Series line.

Yeah, it’s supposed to be much bigger than the last one. I don’t think I ever even opened that guy…
-
When Hasbro was talking about the new R2-D2 they said that they were very aware of the issues regarding the scale of the first R2 that had been the basis for the Black Series astromechs. So for the new version of R2 they went to great lengths to get accurate measurements of the on screen renditions of R2 so that the new Black Series sculpt would be appropriately sized in TBS. This R5-D4 is clearly the product of that investment into the new astromech body.
BTW, I'm in the same boat regarding the first R5-D4 release - I've got two, and I never opened them either!

I went to the biggest con I've been to in probably 10 years yesterday. One of the guests was Carey Jones, who played Krrsantan in The Book of Boba Fett. What a seriously cool guy!
For the most part I've been getting actors to sign TVC figures. And I mentioned to him that I wanted to do that with the upcoming Krrsantan figure. I think he thought I was referring to the Black Series version. He knew about the rather uninspiring comic version. But he was really excited about the Black Series version. He was even able to point out details to me using his iPhone that I hadn't seen - like the Wookiee pelts/scalps that Santo has hanging from his belt!!!! It was kind of a grim detail, but I was really happy to see him excited as he was about bringing a new Wookiee to Star Wars,

I met him at Colorado Springs Comic Con last year. He's as big a Star Wars fan than any of us! He's ready to jump into that suit again!

I saw the Cad Bane & Cobb Vanth 2-pack this morning at Target. It looks great, but the price is just too high for me. I usually don’t advocate people to wait for clearance, but full price for this set is just too much.
