Hasbro 6" Black Series Star Wars line

[buzzybean]

The farce will be with you...always.

The recent 3 3/4 Vaders have been better than this.

Yea especially the newest one from what I hear. I think it's the ROTS version too, lol.

Why the **** doesn't my gif work?


Honestly, I can see it acceptable with a good amount of fiddling, tinkering and lighting. I mean... Not buying Vader feels ridiculous to me. I might as well stop collecting the entire line.

****in hell how can they nail the sandtrooper this good and screw up vader's helmet this badly?

That second photo doesn't look too bad, but in that first one - Vader haz a sad.

The Vader figure really speaks volumes to the quality of work Hasbro is putting into this line - translation: not much!

Yeah it's like sad dog eyes. And the red eyes I also find annoying. This clearly is not the ANH version.

It's gotta be intentional. Hasbro has been working on Vader for 20 years, this is clearly a rush job because they know they can make more of him down the line. An "improved" Star Wars '77 Vader around the time they get to Ben, new Cloud City Vader, etc. etc. All new enough to make you mad.

Initially, I think the premise was to make the ultimate figure of each character, now I think this is essentially their new 3 3/4 line. That would explain why we got alternate looks and accessories for Maul and Han Solo, while newer figures are barebones as can be.

If they could do this in 1997 in a similar scale,











Why can't they now? Why the ugly soft goods? Why the elongated rubbery looking puppy dog head?

I am gonna get a couple imperials in this line and that's it

Looks like the talkie 12" Vader that was so hot ten years ago or so . . .

Which version was this one?

Epic Force 6" Vader from 1997,

 

[zeiss]

The epic force figure was pretty good for its time.

got my sdcc jabba from HTS today. packaging was a joke. it was in a shipping box 4x the size of the figure packaging with a single piece of brown paper wrapped around it. lol needless to say, my item arrived slightly damaged

 

[playboy409]

I got my sdcc Jabba. I really like it, except you can't take the figure out unless you rip the plastic holder off the box, which will probably ruin the box.

Strangely, my local Walmart popped up with like 5 of these. Finally scored a Bespin Luke.

Gods be praised.

You found these at walmart? I haven't seen any 6" figures at the mart. I usually hit up my local Target.

Re: Hasbro legends 6" sw figures

They are starting to hit Walmart now. Been a few reports.

 

[buzzybean]

Epic Force 6" Vader from 1997,

Okay, I have one of those somewhere...LOL I do like that cape. Hate the cloth.

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, the helmet, mask, cape and robes look way better than this Black Series one.

It wouldn't be hard too hard to customize it to have the Epic Force head and cape.

That Vader is atrocious! I'll have to see it in person. Hasbro has gotten Vader right a few times, but so far this looks like a miss.
