As I come across folks planning to livestream the Hasbro panel (2pm PT/5pm ET), I'll try to post them here:

Imperial Communique (aka inactive forum member Darth_Anton) - https://www.youtube.com/live/xyR9WhgMiQc

I think Hasbro is planning to livestream as well, but they have not posted a direct link yet...

edit:
Actually, Hasbro did their own thing in the booth, which they have here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzmQO676pQw

(it's funny because the Hasbro video wants you to think it was after the panel, but it got posted to youtube DURING the panel so it was obviously pre-recorded).

The blurrg looked AMAZING! Not so much the Forge. Happy Shin and Baylan are coming for TVC. Some of the pipeline reveals for 6” looked pretty sweet too.

[Jeff]

I really like the decision to put the DLX stuff back on a card (like that Spider/Mando/Grogu set) and not in the dumb boxes that were mostly empty packages.

Cobb Vanth and Blurrg look great.  Very happy to see Shin and Balyan pipelines, so dumb that we have to wait until 2025 to finally get them.  Same with Dedra.

[Dave]

Are we ever going to get any figures from Andor?  The show has been out for two years and we only have two of the characters (I don't count the clone trooper).  Can we get Luthen, Marva, Bix, Mon Mothma, Syril, Cinta, kitbashed riot troopers, etc.?

I don't believe anything has been shown/pipelined other than Dedra. 

[Jeff]

Are we ever going to get any figures from Andor?

While all the hardcore nerds seem to love Andor, it was the lowest rated/watched D+ show according to the Nieisen numbers through Ahsoka - I am not sure how it fares against the new Acolyte show.

I think it goes (by average viewers)
Mando S1
Mando S2
Mando S3
Kenobi
BOBF
Ahsoka
Andor
***Here's a reddit thread that backs that order up

I think Jayson has a K-2SO repack in his rumor list for the Fall and then Dedra is all so far for TVC.  BS6" is getting Dedra and a new Cassian in 2025 so maybe there is still hope for more.  It could be that they are just saving things so they have stuff for when S2 happens?

Sounds about right. 

One all new figure - Vel.  We have two versions of Cassian (one super lazy and inaccurate kitbash).  One re-release/kitbash clone trooper.  And now we're getting a repack.  Nice work Hasbro. 

Is it too much to ask for six or so figures from each franchise so you could have a mini-display of the key players?

[Rob]

I'm into most of this.  I wish they'd done a new torso for Ahsoka Thrawn... he's got a bit of a pot belly in the show and I don't love that they just re-used the same body as the younger one.  Love the Blurgg, I'm actually fine with the Forge being kind of simple.  Reminds me of when we used to get stuff like the ice that Hoth Luke could hang upside down from or the Bacta Tank...   The Cobb Vantha is great.  I still don't see what's deluxe about it on any level, but here we are.

Most of the pipeline stuff is good choices.  I'd prefer other characters from Obi-Wan instead of a THIRD Ob-Wan... Shin and Baylan are no-brainers.

I love that Dedra Meero's in the works.  I need WAY more Andor figures.  Like, way more.

[Brian]

Not too bad, kind of lowered expectations these days. Everything they show is pretty great, they just don’t show very much. The highlights for me are the Blurgg set and Cobb Vanth…and I’m excited for Ahsoka the White as well. Was kind of hoping we would get a look at the new Luke, Han, Kenobi, and Chewie but oh well.kind of surprised they didn’t reveal a Qimir figure from Acolyte from either scale. Seems like that character was one of the most universally like elements of that show.

[Matt_Fury]

I like everything offered.  This is going to hurt my wallet.
