Hasbro 6" Black Series Star Wars line

[LasVegasYankee]

Finally got a couple of the Sandtroopers. Love the detail. The scale is a nice compromise between the 3.75" and the 12". Wonder how far they are going to go with this line (vehicles maybe)?

Here is my dream top 10:

1. Qui-Gon Jinn
2. Quinlan Vos
3. Darth Malgus
4. Biker Scout
5. Commander Cody [Phase II]
6. Snowtrooper
7. Baron Soontir Fel [TIE Pilot]
8. Galen Marek aka Starkiller
9. Cad Bane or Nico Okarr
10. Paploo


Just Kidding.

10. Mara Jade

I'm a big fan of the EU.

Yet no one from kotor/kotor II...?

Picked up another Sandie today. They are really needing an inscale Dewback tho.

Chiming in with another top ten most wanted:

1) Darth Vader (ANH)
2) Tusken Raider

7) C-3PO
8) Bossk
9) Zuckuss
10) Snowtrooper

Loved those games, but the characters were kinda boring visually. Maybe HK-47 would be a good looking figure.

Really? Hm, there are some great designs in there imo, but fair enough. I'd like a Darth Malgus too, but he missed out on my top 10 though.

Nice list.

Only I'd want Jawas, R2-A5 & R5-A2 in place of Bossk, Zuckuss & Snowie.

Decided to display my first wave, I hate the way they tied R2's middle leg into the head swivel. I can't get the leg to the correct length and have his main lens face anywhere near forward. He's also scaled way too small.

R2 is definitely the let down of wave #1 unfortunately.

It's really not hard to do at all. Turn the head until the leg is at your preferred position, then note where the head is facing. If it's facing the back, then turn the head until it starts clicking, then twist an extra 180°. Now when you pull the leg back in to the desired position, the head will be facing the front.

Re: Hasbro legends 6" sw figures

If they made a Hoth Luke with Taun Taun I'd be all over it.

Waiting for Boba Fett to hit. Then the line can end for all I care.

Waiting for Paploo to hit. Then the line can end for all I care.

That worked. Thanks!

We know. We still don't care.

Hasbro Black Series

Just bought the Sandtrooper and Luke 14 1/2 cm Black Series and wish to say thank you to Hasbro. For many years I've hoped they would do larger scale figures with more detail. I hope they continue at this size rather than the original size.

Selling my SDCC Fett. PM me if interested.

So I finally found the results of the Fwoosh top 10 poll a while back (I took part a few days before it closed).

https://thefwoosh.com/2013/10/official-fwoosh-star-wars-black-series-top-ten-poll-results

top 10-1 (with total votes for each):
24 IG-88
26 Mace Windu
36 Bossk
37 Luke Skywalker [Jedi]
38 Lando Calrissian
41 Obi Wan Kenobi [Ep IV]
43 Yoda
50 C-3PO
58 Chewbacca
68 Darth Vader

Now, apart from this poll mainly affirming the obvious (though Windu is interesting to see in here imo) I'm either really out of touch with the fan base of star wars, or Fwoosh got trolled, because I find the nr 10 and 8 ridiculous. I don't know how that happened, but whatever, I don't get it. Must be me. Aside from that I hope most of the others will be among the next waves in 2014, all 8 except the two I mentioned really.

Why - because you don't think they're worthy, or because they'll likely end up in the series at some point anyway?
