Look at all the money they piss away on all these events. There’s another reason these figures are so damn expensive — gotta pay for frivolous one-offs.

Those giant cosbabies must cost thousands each. Crazy.

Those giant cosbabies must cost thousands each. Crazy.

Not necessarily, it’s done at cost to them some sculpting, casting, and paint. Makes me wonder what cost is on a typical figure.

Bit of a letdown of an event, no? Sure we got Revan and Starkiller but other than that nothing too exciting - repaints and things we've already seen.

"Power of the Darkside exhibit" doesn't even make sense either since half of it is lightside characters.

Based on the last few SDCC's, I think getting Starkiller and Revan was a big win. I wouldn't have been surprised with a few re-issues only... I expect very little so am pleasantly surprised when they exceed that

Yeah but hyping this up as an "exhibit" then there's really only 2 new things that people care about is a bit lame.

Yeah I'm perfectly satisfied with Revan and Starkiller. Better than a bunch of reissues... half those figures go below/at retail aftermarket anyways.

So will Revan and Starkiller one day.

Probably 50% gross margin minimum. Gotta keep that premium premium!

 

[dominishin]

Just meant the figures people were guessing reissues of you can get it still at decent price... except Dooku, which isn't really that high either.

I found this on someone’s story on instagram. Howard showing off his private collection. This is a photo from inside Dark Side Exhibit event handbook.

I see a gold clone trooper, shadow trooper with red Death Star background, dark side Luke? Is that a clone commando backpack?

Commando looks like Bad Batch Commando with the grey markings


The other figures seem to be official products so maybe shadow trooper will get re-release with added backdrop as part of Darkside event with Dark Luke while gold trooper might be summer exclusive and finally the Commando a general release

He's mentioned a Dark Empire Luke before. A figure of that with a new sculpt would be very cool.

Looks like they can’t get it approved. From one6th_lovers

I wonder if releasing things like Legends Revan, Starkiller and the comic murder droids are a way of HT testing the waters with Disney to show that there could be interest in something like Dark Empire Luke or other items from beyond the films and TV canon. Or if it’s more they don’t want to portray Luke as ‘bad?’ Hasbro’s releasing a Last Command box set with the evil clone Luuke so they’re not totally against the idea of a bad Luke. Really surprised they’d care enough to turn down something that could make them money off of an old concept from Legends to a few adult collectors that couldn’t care less if it fits into the current canon or not.

 

[Wor-Gar]

more they don’t want to portray Luke as ‘bad?’

I think its just that simple.

Let's see Darth Kenobi.
