Hasbro 6" Black Series Star Wars line

[Matt S]

Ok, to Amazon's credit, they shipped my replacement Luke in a box, with a lot of air bubble-thingees - came in MINT condition! That's more like it

I was pretty happy when the replacement was not sent in another envelope!

received Darth Maul and the Sandtrooper today. Great pieces. I will pick up R2 now

R2 is awesome, with proper weathering!

Recieved Luke in the mail today. AMAZING! Love it.

I don't collect Star Wars, but I just had to get the Sandtrooper. And I wasn't disappointed. Pretty much a perfect action figure, with the exception of the soft plastic heavy blaster rifle. Not sure why this one is a softer plastic, when the other two weapons are made of sturdier material. Maybe because of the strap?

Anyway, a few shots I took last night....

Nice work! Can you share some tips so we can do photos like that too? Did you use photoshop, how did you do the background? Calling for more pics guys, these figures deserve it!

Thanks a lot jphoenix.

I have a light tent (approximately 2' by 2') with lighting on each side of the tent. I have various colored light bulbs (white, red, green, blue and a black light) that I can switch around, depending on what kind of arrangement I need for the picture.

I also have three different cloth backdrops (black, blue and red) that I can use inside the tent to change the color of the "sky". The props are GI Joe buildings, large rocks and aquarium pebbles and decorations.

I do not use photoshop, but I do use an online program called picmonkey (www.picmonkey.com) to add light scratches/filters to the photos, add borders and to adjust the color and contrast if needed.

Hope this info is helpful. If you have any more questions, just let me know.

I received my Sandie the same way, in a yellow padded envelope which got stuffed in my mailbox. But I'm opening him anyway so didn't matter much about the frayed corners (one corner was slightly dented in).

Yeah, I suggested to them they note collectibles items may not come in 'mint condition' or anything close to it.

I was thinking the same thing just by seeing pics...was hoping thats not the case...Oh well it's not too big an issue I guess. Cant wait for wave 2. Just out of curiosity, how much did you pay for the SDCC version?

too much lol, it was around $140 shipped, so about $120 for a plastic slab of han....

Im gunna pop it apart and recast it though using a clear resin and try the defrosting look, with a nice red LED inside

Re: Hasbro legends 6" sw figures

How does Hasbro handle the production run? I mean are they going to continue making wave 1 or are these limited to a specific count say 200,000 units. Just wondering about how many boxed MIB sandys around?

no numbers given, they do a run and ship and thats it until they do repacks in later cases

I was ready to buy the set too then I heard Boba is being released alone. Plus the same set is getting re-released for international

This is one of those rare times where it'll probably increase on the secondary market

Finally saw these at Target, but bought an extra R2 only - figured some lucky collector can score the rest
