Title: 6" Black Series 1:12 Scale Porgs
Post by: Jeff on October 30, 2017, 11:02 AM: Revealed at MCM London Comic Con this past weekend - Porgs to go with your Black Series 6" figures.

Hasbro is selling them separately so you can buy as many as you want without having to buy a 6" figure you may not want/need.

STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES 6-INCH SCALE Porgs

I do think it's a cool idea and I would fully support any kind of accessory packs or smaller add-ins like this in the future.

I get that since the BS6" figures do seem kinda light on accessories these days... but then you'd have folks squawking they only want the Porgs and have to buy yet another $20 Rey/Luke/Chewbacca to get them, etc. This way, if you want 100 Porgs, you can buy them without buying 50 6" figures you didn't want.

Post by: Darby on October 30, 2017, 05:27 PM: Wonder if this is a late substitution on Hasbro's part, seeing the very positive response to the porgs. Maybe they were intended to be a pack in with Chewie or Rey maybe, and then Hasbro was like, 'Nah we'll make more $$$ this way.'
