Well, I'm selling off most of my Black Series figures.


Can't believe they went soft goods on Farmboy Luke. What the hell. I was waiting for that figure for a while and it looks like absolute ****.

Couple of modified (repainted and accessorized) Sandtroopers, Pilot Luke; that's worth having for me. Other than that this line has been dead to me a long time due to reasons we've all talked to death. That Luke though...ouch.

The hell were they thinking? Never mind how it looks, there is no internal consistency with their design choices. Sculpted, soft goods, half sculpted, half soft...WHATEVER. Why should anything in ONE LINE be consistent and match?

Go home Hasbro, you're drunk.

I had a lot of 6" BS, but just sold the last one off about 2 weeks ago. I'm going with Hot Toys and Movie Realization for my Star Wars collection. 6" had/has some great stuff, but does too many things wrong on what interests me to continue. Although the Rebels figs (Sabine,Kanan?, and Ahsoka) could tempt me into just picking up the Rebels 6" figures.

In any case, Hasbro didn't seem to fair too well with either Star Wars fans or Transformer fans this year.
 
Hasbro haven't made sense on Star Wars front for a few years now. Today they reached new heights by revealing only a handfull of 6" figures, a (very impressive) vehicle and a single 3.75" 5 POA figure.
 
So pretty much any character with a robe, cape or long shirt will be destroyed with soft goods.

So long Han Endor. So long Kylo Ren. So long ANH Obi. So long ANH Luke.

After Han ESB, Han TFA, Poe Dameron and First Order trooper, I'm done.

This line is officially dead to me.

Stick Luke's head on prequel Obi's body.

Nah, I'm sick of having to frankenstein different figures to get a decent one.

X-Wing Pilot Luke is a great figure, no reason Farmboy Luke couldn't have been too. They sculpted the best on Han and Greedo, sculpted the robes and garments on Obi-Wan and Anakin? Why couldn't they sculpt Luke's torso and arms? What happened to this line after the first couple of waves? Like ZE_501 stated, there is zero consistency throughout the line. Luke is the best example. Compare Pilot Luke to Bespin, then to Jedi, then to Hoth, and now to this and it's just all over the place. None of it makes sense. These are the kind of weird choices they made over a decade ago.

There are some really nice figures. X-Wing Luke, the Sandtrooper, Boba Fett, Greedo, Han Solo, Tie Fighter Pilot, Bossk, etc. the other half? I don't even know. This line had a lot of great potential in the beginning, but now it feels like a crapshoot.

Which ones you got. I will take them.
 
I was originally planning on getting every release from this line as I collect mostly 6" figures and Star Wars is my favorite movie series, but I have held off from getting any of them besides Darth Maul (he is one of my favorite characters) and am probably going to end up getting very few as most of them so far are either bad or characters I don't care for. I was going to pick up Darth Vader (Sith fan) but he looks like a let down. I'm hoping they'll turn this line around and raise the quality at least slightly, non of that cloth shirt on Luke crap, and do more characters, but looking at the Marvel Legends line that probably wont happen, also I was hoping for a more Marvel Legends-ish line with the 6 figures per wave kinda deal.

I really would like to see more versions of characters as well, like the different versions of Obi-Wan (TPM, AotC, Clone Wars General, ANH, and Force Ghost Obi-Wan). Their character list for me seems all over the place. I think 6 figures per themed waves would be perfect, and the themes could be TOR, KotOR 1 & 2, TPM, AotC, TCW, RotS, TFU 1 & 2, ANH, Rebels, TESB, RotJ, TFA, Legacy, high ranking Clone Troopers, the different Separatists Droids, prominent/popular/powerful Sith Lords, and prominent/popular/powerful Jedi Masters and have 2 waves per theme, as well as build-a-figures every wave, a deluxe creature per theme, a deluxe vehicle per theme, and multiple figure packs spread throughout those waves.
