Hasbro 6" Black Series Star Wars line

I wish they could have figured out a better way to go with Maul, his half plastic / half cloth look just doesn't do anything for me. I have high hopes that they do better on Vader.

I think Anders should buy these.

Damn it.... I need a third Sandtrooper.

I was just at Target... saw Maul, R2, and Luke Xwing. I had zero intention of buying this line. But alas they came home with me. The Sandtrooper evaded me.... for now.

Han looks to be the clear winner to me.

Kmart here has the most stock at any given time, with Target and TRU always selling thru immediately. Of course not a lot of people shop at Kmart anymore so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.

Poor old R2 is always the last hanging everywhere I spot them. Will absolutely get Fett (2nd favorite SW character behind Vader) if/when I see him. I don't really want Greedo or Leia, and still can't decide about Han.

What's wrong with Greedo? I think he looks great. And I have a feeling the final production piece of Leia will look better. She had droopy eyes in the first images we saw of her, now she looks surprised. The preproduction photos of wave 1 ranged from good to awful and I think the final products (apart from R2) exceeded my expectations. I'm hopeful at least, I preordered a case and hope Leia's paint apps are as good as my Luke's are.

I haven't bought Hasbro Star Wars in a while. In fact, I can't even remember the last time I bought Star Wars ANYTHING. So I was at Target, I happened to go in the toy isle and saw Maul, R2, Luke and the Sandtrooper on the shelf in their minimalist black boxes.

Looked at Maul, crap.

Looked at R2, crap.


Ended up going home with a Sandtrooper and Luke Skywalker. I opened them up and I've got to say, I'm quite pleased. These things are actually really well done. Mine didn't have any problems, paint application problems or any quality control issues. $20 bucks a pop is a little high, but when I see the new 3 3/4 crap that goes for $10 to $12 (man, I remember when these things were like $4-$7), I sorta of see how they're "worth" it.

I really dig the sculpts on the trooper and Luke, specifically the headsculpts. The Sandtrooper looks just like the hero helmet from the films and the proportions on both are great. I don't see why they couldn't achieve this with the 3 3/4 troopers. They could have easily shrunk this down. I don't really like how Luke looks with the helmet on, but having him holding it at his side, blaster in hand and lightsaber hilt on belt is just tops. I really dig both of them.

I'm definitely not going to jump into this line, but if I come across some here and there, I'll definitely pick them up. Like I said, it's been awhile since I've purchased anything Star Wars. I'm definitely going to pick up Han, Greedo and Fett if I come across them, specifically Han.

Did they change the Greedo head sculpt? It the boxed photo, it looks as if he eye brows are in a scowl position.

Most other products have him with the same expression. I think he's meant to be talking. I don't see it as a smile. Perhaps in hand he won't look so ridiculous to you. These are giant HQ shots bringing out every detail we normally can't see in hand.

I think the head is just angled up when it should be down.

Have Flosi go back and delete your post.

Actually his weird oblong, silver eye are more distracting. Not a deal breaker. If they come out silver, I'll just redo them with a high gloss black. The shape could just be the angle. And if they really are more oval than circular, it's fine by me. I only now noticed it when searching for open mouthed Greedos.

Nope. Barry is too well liked around here... I want to be everyone's favorite so I'll just leave it.
