2024 TVC Blurrg & The Mandalorian

[Nicklab]

Hasbro has been padding the schedule for a while now.  And it seems like they had that safety buffer set around 2 months beyond the date that figures were actually delivered.  I get the concept - set expectations low, and when you overperform you look good.  A 2 month safety net?  Sure.  But 4 months?!?!?!

I wish I could say that this was the result of Steve Evans' management of the design team.  But this comes down to manufacturing schedules and transit from Asia to US ports.  Could we actually be seeing some benefits from the decline of the toy industry getting figures to us faster???

For me the issue is just about wanting to have a greater degree of clarity about when deliveries will arrive.  For some people it's more complicated because they order using debit cards.  They need to have cash on hand to pay for those orders.  That's not an issue for me as I use credit cards in order to get rewards for my orders.

My Blurrgs arrived today and They are really cool.

Check out my review and unboxing!

I have endless complaints for Hasbro these days, but these Blurrgs are a home run.  Live them.

Mine also arrived today, too. Live them too.

It's close to Kanan & Zeb, but the Blurrg may be my favorite TVC release of the year. Top-notch work by Hasbro. Creatures & beasts were sorely missing from the line for the last few years, and I am glad to see them come back with such a bang. I will happily rebuy more of these guys w/ other pack-ins or in an alternate Ewok movie set.

Can’t tell if you’re poking fun at my autofill or if you had the same autofill. 😑🙂

I live that you guys are enjoying your new Blurrgs. 

I haven't opened mine yet - has anyone tried getting the TVC Kuiil on there yet?

[Rob]

That was the first thing I did.

[Jeff]

Thanks for the pic, Rob.  Not a perfect fit, but definitely passable for now. 

[Rob]

Yeah it works, but I wouldn't be shocked if they eventually released a re-worked Kuiil with a Blurrg of his own.

[Matt_Fury]

That was the first thing I did.

Did the same thing...until I find my extra Cara Dune figure!

Great pics, Rob!  The gloss and detail of the eyes immediately caught my attention.
