Looks good, but due to shrinking space, I might take a pass on this line. Unless I can get it for under $10 on Amazon.
-
The Range Trooper is NUTS. A straight mash up between the Snow Serpent and Snow Trooper. Lando is classic.
-
Super stoked I'm gonna have a 6" Childish Gambino fig!
-
Yeah that Range Trooper is plain crazy. Looks like a custom figure almost.
Assuming this line will have short legs, I am guessing they gotta have Woody, the droid, Vos and maybe Moloch in Wave 2? Maybe a repack Chewie.
The new face sculpting technique really pops on the human figures now.
-
I really am wondering what that Range Trooper's ultimate purpose is. The weird boots and the funky pimpcoat, that's a different character for sure.
-
The 6" TBS figures look pretty good. I like the look for Han. It's different, but consistent with what we had seen in the OT and TFA. Qi'ra is a little different from Padme, Leia or Jyn Erso in terms of a look. But then she's a different kind of character, too, isn't she? Lando looks all sort of cool. And I think Hasbro captured Donald Glover really well here.
But I definitely get the reactions to the Imperial Range Trooper. It definitely looks like a bit of a departure from previous OT troopers. But I also see hints of equipment and gear from the prequels, ROGUE ONE and the OT. Seeing how this movie is set in that timeframe, it does seem like it's a transitional period between that specialized gear from the ROTS troopers and the more uniform look of Imperial troops circa the OT. The helmet alone seems like it's somewhere between the Clone Airborne Trooper from ROTS and the Shoretrooper helmet from Rogue One. I'm also curious to see these guys in action, because I think those boots might integrate with some kind of vehicle.
-
I think the boots are either some kind of rock climbing gear - though it's kind of busy for that - or magnetic. That train we saw in the trailer spun around 360 so maybe he's on the outside of that for someone reason.
-
I hope the Range Trooper comes across well in the film to justify me wanting this figure! For some reason I really like it. I think because it is so absurd.
-
These all look pretty amazing I think. They really continue to improve on the faces of these figures, kinda makes me wish they would go back and re-do some of the human characters with that face printing technology they have now. All of these figures look great though. I wonder if we will get a new (or new bandoliered) Chewie here too. I'm all in for these.
-
I was able to spy some figure numbers from The Toy Insiders Instagram photos, but these were the only new ones I could really get a good look at:
___ #65 - Lando Calrissian (SOLO - A Star Wars Story)
___ #66 - Qi'ra
___ #67 - 4-LOM

I found and bought this whole wave today at Walmart. ;D
The first Walmart I hit just had Han and the DST left, but I got them each for $5.
The next Walmart I hit had them all but they wouldn't honor the tag price, so I ended up paying $18.84 for those, so YMMV on that whole thing.
Can't wait to crack these open tonight!
Take THAT, street date! :D
-
What is the official street date for the Solo stuff?
-
I don't believe Hasbro or LFL have 'officially' commented, but the boxes say April 13th - pic from twitter (https://twitter.com/Skytalker47/status/975178990708281346):

With all of these TBS 6" figures from Solo turning up, how is nobody winding up in toy jail?!?! How has WalMart not been fined MILLIONS of dollars for breaking the street date?!?!?!?!
;D
