They've previously shown Ackbar and IG-88 at conventions, with no eventual preorder. They still havent even shown a Scout Trooper yet. I would actually much prefer a Yoda, Gamorrean Guard, Artoo, or Scout Trooper than the Obi-Wan.
Sigh, I call it quits on this line. These continuous repaints are just a big middle finger to collectors who have been all in on this series since the beginning. I get the need for repaints to maximise investment in molds, but at least frickin give us some new molds in between!
I used to be so excited when I received a new Star Wars Movie Realization figure. But that was when unique characters were still being released, whereas now it really feels like endless repaints and retools.
It took almost 4 weeks for this new Daimyo Boba to be shipped from the US to Australia...
Still love the figures that we've received so far. It's a great looking collection for sure. I just hope they announce more unique characters soon instead of these endless repaints.
A slightly better pic with natural morning light. Adding Trap Jaw, Beastman, and Tri-Klops to round out this incompetent bad-guy crew would be amazing!
Here's my review of the new Tweeterhead Mer-Man exclusive from Sideshow Collectibles. Fantastic statue that keeps this incredible series going. Cannot wait for Trap Jaw next!
