Hasbro 6" Black Series Star Wars line

Re: Hasbro legends 6" sw figures

I'm sort of disappointed we didn't see more reveals at SDCC. I just really want a Crait Luke. I know they will make it eventually, I'm just an impatient man. The Empire stuff is cool though. Glad they are RE-releasing the bounty hunters. I need Bossk and IG-88 as I missed them the first time around.

After dipping my toe in the "import" lines with two SHF Lukes, I went ahead and ordered MAFEX Boba ROTJ for two reasons: A, he was only $40. That's only slightly higher than a Black Series figure costs here anyway! And B: it seems like an easy/logical retool for Hasbro to make but five years later, they still haven't bothered. So I got him.

He just arrived and I can tell he doesn't feel as solid as the SHF stuff. I'm way more scared of breaking him. Doesn't seem to pose as well either. Those three tubes on his elbow do NOT want to stay in. Deco wise he look amazing. Clearly a superior sculpt and paint to the BS Boba, which I still think is no slouch after all these years.

I like this new figure but I'm kind of afraid to mess around with it. Maybe more of a display piece than a toy. Still, the price was right and now I finally have Boba's only two "canon" appearances on my shelf! (yeah yeah, ignore that canon bit...clearly flamebait!)

I think I'm going to finally offload my black series figures. They've hit the 1 year+ mark of not being displayed and that normally is a sign for me to purge. Plus, I need funds for HT's PT push...while the films are so so, they represent a big part of my childhood and the designs are great. I'm just not sure if it's wisest to bulk offload or do them piece by piece.

Yeah, he’s pretty fragile in some areas. The bandai kits are like that too, much lighter and feel more fragile. But the detail and over all look is miles ahead of the BS In most cases.

Hey buddy, finally found that box my stormy kit was in!

I took a few pics, but I’m not sure how well you can see the matte black parts. I think it makes a little difference, but not nearly as good as some mods I’ve seen where folks actually covered those parts in fabric.

Next to 40th Vader & Mafex Fett, I really wish the Bandai kits were just a tiny bit shorter.

Yeah that looks good! I'm gonna have to do that to mine

Such a great pic man, I really do enjoy your work!

Hasbro showed off an awesome new Rogue one style stormtrooper, and I had assumed it was a new 6"....but is it a new 3.75?

Sculpt looks far better than the current one

hmmm that would be awesome if that's the case! The only new 6" trooper I remember seeing was the Patrol trooper from Solo.

This is what should’ve been brought up at SDCC’s panel..will they try to do lit effects on the lightsabers in in 1/12 scale

Yeah, it's 3 3/4". Part of the Vintage Collection.

Looks great. The 6" needs a re-do! Thanks for confirmation

I highly recommend the Kotobukiya light up sabers.

That's too precious. Congrats on finding him!

I'll be checking a few Targets today that say they might have him online.

 

[guyver1]

I hope they redo a BS Jedi Luke to match the guard

Does anyone know if the single Bespin Han has the same sculpt as the SDCC version

 

[Captain Clown]

Yep, he does. It's the exact same figure minus the Mynock and air mask.

I just got Enfys in. Amazon knocked $15 off and gave it to me for $45 shipped before it even went out. I'm really not impressed at all. The swoop, while impressive looking, lacks a lot of painted detail (and has some soft cheap feeling plastic parts). Her staff being a solid unpainted husk of plastic is unacceptable. And her cape material just does even remotely lay correctly.

She looks cool though, I guess lol? Probably the first real disappointment in the line since I started collecting
