Did they actually do a female body sculpt for that Dedra or is she slugged onto the same body as Thrawn and everyone else? I can't tell from the photo at this size.
-
In the panel they said it was a "great new body to build on" (meaning more lady officers are coming). Looks like at least the torso is new, not sure if they re-used the arms or legs from something else.
-
That clone Lt looks inaccurate, but Anakin is excellent.

Smart. Bring on the officers. Bring them all on.

The legs & arms look to be the same ones from the Cal Kestis / Piett body. I think it is just a new torso. It looks good either way though. I've been wanting a Deedra for 2 years now. Count me in for a couple.
Very solid wave overall, not the theme, but the overall quality of the figures is good.
Luke looks pretty good, but I am not necessarily completely sold on the Mark Hamill likeness still. I wish it was a little more definitive like this year's Leia this year was. But it is pretty close and the body looks great. The cardback is of course fantastic.
Anakin looks real solid. It will be interesting to see what parts are reused on there. I didn't immediately pick them up, but I was watching while working.
I just noticed that the Ahsoka show clone officers don't have the blue dots on the torso armor. At first, I though it was a miss on Hasbro's part and then I looked closer at the source material and it seems to be something they left off in the show. Interesting. That does look like a new Phase I non-removable helmet to me.

I know that “new” figures are always more exciting to most, but I honestly can’t wait for the Luke and Anakin from this wave. Luke in particular is a little overdue, can’t wait.
-
I was logging my preorders on my TVC order excel file and took notice of the VC number for this version of Luke Skywalker. I had been expecting this iteration to get the VC375 designation. Steve Evans had flagged that particular number on his visual checklist, and the slot had the background color from Luke's card. Has that now changed? Or will that be some kind of special edition release?
-
Had an $18.39 Amazon charge on the credit card today... seems to match up to my Clone LT pre-order from this wave.
Not sure if that means he's about to ship or if its just a ping to see if the card is still valid...
-
I saw some chatter at RS about Amazon charging people and moving up delivery dates for the entire wave. I've been checking my own orders, and the delivery dates are still mid to late February.
-

Same. I've now got another $18 charge today but all my Amazon pre-orders still say expected 2/18.
-
And now today I've got two credits back to my card for $18.39 and $18.41. I guess whatever they thought they were going to ship me isn't happening... so weird.
-
After just getting the Ghost....I can wait a bit for new Star Wars to show up.

And now today, I get an Amazon shipping notice for Clone Lt., Anakin, and Luke. (https://jedidefender.com/jsmentek/lol.gif)
Should be here 1/13 (shipped USPS).
-
Man, no noticed for these and no updates for the Ghost still. I’m feeling left out.
-
Not to rub it in Rob's face, but I just got a shipping notice for Indara and Dedra now too - they will be here Friday 1/10 according to Amazon.
-
I’m very happy for you. :P
-
My Amazon order page still has the entire wave listed with February 18 delivery dates.

All five arrived today from Amazon...

My Luke's arrived from Amazon today as well. What a long-needed improvement to one of the most important characters/outfits/figures in all of Star Wars. I'm very happy with him, glad I ordered a few. I can't remember the last time I liked a new Luke so much.
-
Got my case from EE this weekend, and was a little bummed out. They changed the case ratio from what was listed so that it came w/ two Anakin's & one Dedra Meero, instead of the other way around. Including the individuals I had ordered from Amazon, I ended up with four total Anakin's instead of three, and one less Dedra than I wanted. I guess I'll have to return an Anakin to Amazon and pick up an extra Dedra instead.
The case assortment issue aside, this was a really strong wave to start off the year. There wasn't a stinker in the wave. The only repaint in the wave is an army builder and technically speaking is a variant we didn't already have since it is based on the Ahsoka appearance rather than AOTC or TCW. Indara is a great Jedi figure (regardless of my indifference towards the source material). Dedra felt way more new than some of the initial pictures, and is an excellent figure. The Skywalkers are both phenomenal figures, but Luke is the star of the wave.
-
I did a review of the Luke figure. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84pug4nIpbs)
Nice to have a definitive version of an original 12 figure!
I got the Master Indara when I got the Luke...nice figure for the Jedi shelf.
Just received the Clone Trooper and Dedra Meero figures today. Nice, kind of wish the Dedra Meero came with a hat.
I passed on the Anakin.
-
So I realized after the snafu in the other thread that I cancelled all my Amazon preorders for this wave because I thought my Pulse preorders were shipping soon... now I realize they didn't ship and are not shipping soon.
So I was able to go right to Amazon and order the Clone, Indara, and Anakin... Luke is expected to ship on February 23. Dedra Meero isn't available.
Things are getting weird again.
-
Man this Luke is amazing, although there are few older heads that have a bit better likeness the body sculpting, articulation and paint jobs are phenomenal. Glad a I bought a few as well!

While I'm happy I have Dedra Meero....she's not that exciting of a figure. Should've come with a hat at least.

I think Dedra Meero's figure is pretty good. Not perfect. I've seen a lot of criticism about the legs relative to the rest of the body. And there might be a case to be made for different lower legs. Other than that? I think a datapad would be a good accessory for her.
I would actually like to see Hasbro come up with a trenchcoat for the Imperial Officers. Dedra Meero has the Imperial cap and a trenchcoat on in at least a couple of episodes of ANDOR in season 1. And there are a number of officers with the trenchcoat in new media. I know I've seen them in Rogue One, Solo and Andor.

Agree that tossing in a hat and a datapad would have been a nice touch. I miss the days when there was extra budget and we would have gotten both of those accessories and a stolen Imperial Starpath unit (with the seal still intact).
-
I'm just happy that we got another main character from Andor so I'll take the imperfections so long as they build out 5-6 key characters so you could reasonable have a small spot in your display that represented Andor.
-
Ideally they have done a full female imperial officer body so they don’t have to keep using the male body for women, but like some of you have said… I’m just happy they’re making her at all.
I’m not as picky about accuracy as people on social media… I just want variety and Hasbro isn’t so good at that anymore.
-
The upper body on Dedra Meero is new. It seems like the lower body was repurposed from the existing Imperial Officer buck.
-
I just got a Pulse email letting me know that either my order will ship soon (which I assume is the right choice) or that my new expected ship date for my Luke order with them is... January 10.
A month ago.
These emails are worthless.

Yeah, I've been getting those lately, too. Just send the email when you've shipped it.
-
Well I finally got Luke in the mail just now... you guys weren't kidding. It really is just about perfect.
-
These emails are worthless.
I wonder if these emails are a knee-jerk reaction to the Ghost conundrum where people complain about the lack of communication. Now it's a bit overkill, especially with the hey there. Your order is a. About to ship, or b. Delayed/new date. Just send individual emails if it's shipping or if there's a new ship date; it's confusing otherwise. *shrug*

This wave seems to be showing up more at brick & mortar retail. Over the past couple of days I've seen figures at both Walmart and GameStop. Interestingly though, I haven't seen a Dedra Meero figure in the wild.
-
There are no Walmarts near me and as far as I know we're down to one Gamestop in the area, which isn't near me. So I don't go into those two stores.
I think the only TVC figure I've seen in stores since Target got rid of them was Cobb Vanth. It's sad.
