I'm genuinely curious to see this up close.  That IG-12 has to be completely retooled for this to keep the Anzellan and Grogu in scale.

Looks good at a glance!  I wonder if I should wait this time and get it for $17 a few weeks after release.

This was the kitbash / modification that we expected once we saw that episode.  Pretty cool though, especially with the Anzellan included.

I'll be getting one.

With the Anzellan tooling done, we're one step closer to the highly-demanded (by me anyway) TVC Sith C-3PO with Sith Dagger and Babu Frik.  :D

Hasbro Pulse posted a video to Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCjwkRFgjhE) where Emily goes over the figure.  She says it's all new tooling in the torso/chassis but the arms/legs/head are re-used.  Grogu and Anzellan are all new as well.

They look great! This was at the top of my Season 3 wishlist, so I'm glad to get this one. I also went through the JD Amazon links, with any luck they will go on sale like Cobb Vanth sometime before they release and we will get this for close to regular figure price. I still think this would have fit on a standard card (even if it was at the higher price), but it looks nice. I wonder if ProTech or any other company is going to start making large star cases for these new deluxe figures?

Mine should be here by tonight.

Mine just showed up.

Now I want a whole pile of Anzellans.  I probably shouldn't say that too loudly as now he'll be repacked in to 100 figures to change them from standard to deluxe offerings.  Ideally they'd just make a Sith Eyes 3PO with droid hacking chair and handful of Anzellans with Babu Frik for $40.

And on a related note, the tracking within the Amazon app is crazy.  Has it been like this for awhile?  I could see where the delivery truck was and how many stops away it was, and it was super accurate.

I guess its good if you're ordering expensive stuff or have to deal with porch pirates (this was neither).

Mine IG-12 arrived yesterday.  I think there are some legit points of criticism with this figure regarding the paint apps, as well as the price.  But I'm also glad that Hasbro opted to offer this figure.  It's a mixed bag, for sure.

Bezos also has to track the drivers in realtime to make sure they aren't stopping to pee anywhere.

I like the figure, the Anzellan is a big plus.

This figure should not have been a deluxe figure.

The tracking has been like that for some time.  But from my experience it only seems to get that detailed when the delivery is going to occur within an hour or 30 minutes.  Most often I'll get that hyper detailed location when the delivery truck is actually on my street.  But beyond that it tends to be a little vague.
