Yeah, I am concerned. Still love the 3.75" line a lot. They give us just enough truly new figure to keep the hope alive. All the new Mando figs are amazing. And the weathering on the re-release Remnant Stormtrooper is the best weathering Hasbro has ever given us. Remember when dirty was a black splotch? LOL. I got the Luke 3 pack with the Jedi and Xwing and Stormie Lukes, but still getting all on the vintage cards. Luke in Stormtrooper gear is one of the best ever. Helmet fits great if a little snug. Belt is accutate to Luke, etc.

I personally have no problem with re-releases. Especially if that gets new fans interested. Bummer the new releases look odd with the new paint deco. Weirdly unexpected.

I do think an entire line of 3.75" Mando figures would do very well.




I was tempted by that. Want more Remnant Stomies and concerning that Fett vehicle to support the line. For $20, picked up another Tie Fighter at Dorkside.

Yeah it was definitely a gateway purchase as the expense doesn't end at $50. Now I need a whole bunch of those remnant stormtroopers

Here’s a great article from BanthaSkull about the current situation with the 3.75” scale.

My case of those just shipped from Dorkside! Probably the best way to easily stock up on those!

Stormtroopers (in both scales) need to be evergreen trooper figures on hasbro pulse. They will always sell!

Damn, they didn't hold back.....nice and sadly accurate.

They’re right, that first wave really killed things. I still see Jyn and Snoke at full price. Those things are older than gas station hot dogs at this point. I can forgive them with Snoke. He was the one I was actually exited for as well and bought the first time I saw him. Rey, Kylo, and especially Jyn were the huge blunders they easily could have avoided. The fact I never saw the Crait Luke wave in stores is troublesome. Glad I preordered him from Pulse now. Even if the line continues to limp on as pulse exclusives, they should still sell well enough to continue. I personally don’t care for the retro packaging, I just buy them for being better figures than the 5 PoA POS is they put out as the main 4” figures. Such a step backwards.

The fact we have a 4” Remnant Stormtrooper and not a 6” one is very interesting. It’s not like Hasbro didn’t have a mold ready for a quick repaint in that scale too.

I just ordered two full cases of TVC Stormies (one case of clean RO, one case of Mando Remnants) from Dorkside myself.

I absolutely love the current stormtrooper mold. I’ve never really army built them before now because they just looked off. Now I have a squad probably just under what Moff Gideon had

I’ve got another case of RO stormies on order too. Like I said earlier, Hasbro needs to keep them in production and offer the troop builder package/price for them on Pulse. I’d add so many to random orders - epically if they start doing offers on purchases above x$

Yeah I watched a video of a Hasbro rep saying that the new Stormies turned out so awesome because they not only were able to scan a screen used suit but they were also able to get a properly athletic guy with good proportions to wear it while they did it.

Well that really worked then! I remember getting my first one and being so surprised how much it looked like an actual stormtrooper. Their 1:1 stormtrooper helmet is also great. I just got the Boba helmet today and I have to say Hasbro, with all their shortcomings, are really starting to produce some great items. I’ve never been a big Hoth Rebel trooper fan, but that new 6” figure is a thing of beauty and I love how well thought out the army building potential was.

Mando and Cara are two of the best new 4” figures as well - especially Cara’s likeness. Gideon, Greef, and the Client are all high on my list now (in either scale). I can’t imagine how tiny a baby Yoda would be There are already rumors floating around for a Razorcrest so the vintage collection is far from dead. It might get Mando heavy, but I’m so good with that. Mando, like Rogue One, is nearly unanimously loved by the community and public at large so if focusing attention to Mando products keeps the saga going, then I’m all for it. It’s amazing how quickly the ST has been dropped like a hot potato in favor of a little TV show!

Damn I need to order a case or two of those troopers before you guys get them all

I know right it's crazy how good they look. I've been watching YouTube review after YouTube review of these figures all blown up on a big 55 inch 4K screen and they STILL look amazing! Can't wait for mine to arrive!

No way are you serious.

Nope I?m kidding lol

I only buy 3.75 when it goes with a vehicle otherwise I am a 6 inch and HT only collector when it comes to SW.

I will be buying a whole bunch of that new RO sculpt 6 inch stormtrooper as well as the HT remnant.

I have been 1/6 and 1/4 only for the longest time. Then Hasbro started in with these carded figures and I started bending the rules a little. That troop transport really hit me with a big dose of Kenner nostalgia.

Oh you were just saying that to make TurdFurguson panic, awesome lol.

Hmm let me now go check to see what ebay deals there are on ripped shirt Padme...

If I had unlimited disposable income and space of course I would go nuts with carded 3.75 and 6 inch BUT since I don?t I need to very super very picky with all of my decisions.

I still buy like a mad man but with eyes wide shut lol
