It's a shame that the executioner doesn't come with the effect parts, but the paint on the claws are pretty good. I foresee that most will break the claws or rod quite easily as they are not easy to swap out.

The marketing of these guards are insane..can you imagine if we get another short screen time scenario with these guards like TFA Phasma..man, that would be ridiculous

That would be par for the course for Star Wars. Boba Fett, Royal Guards, Phasma, The Deathtroopers...

 

[Evil_Ash]

They are going to have 10 minutes of screen time tops.

They are pushing the fact that they have weapons, so imagine royal guards only with a fight scene.

I guess my order from NY will ship when Rey and Kylo come out, that's why I haven't gotten Phasma and trooper yet.

People bust my balls when I bring this up, but for these new movies they are going WAY over the top with troopers/guards and their variants for the sole purpose of selling toys. Like 1 Royal Guard in the OT. Nope, here's 3!

TFA had Stormtroopers, Snowtroopers, Flame Troopers, Riot Troopers, Heavy Gunner Troopers, and then the associates captains and sergeants.

I know SW has been toys from the beginning, but through 3 OT movies, we had Stormtroopers, Sandtroopers, Snowtroopers, Scout Troopers, and Royal Guards. I don't even know when Sandtroopers became canon or first had toys.

I agree. Another aspect to the more cynical and calculated side of this foray into SW, of which there are plenty. This doesn't mean that I hate all of it or that there's no merit to the films, but I'm going in eyes wide open -- and wallet shut. I'll happily watch the films and enjoy them for what they are, but no merch for me, thanks.

It's like that date who's a ton of fun but you're not going to bring 'em home to meet the folks.

Speaking of flame troopers..another bad marketing ploy. If I recall two scenes at the most..wtf Disney. And pretty much background fast moving scenes

Finn and Poe blowing up the hanger.

The opening scene with attacking Taka’s camp

D amazing’s video on the guard up

And coloured clones with their commanders. They learnt from Lucas.
Wait'll till they learn colorways don't even need to change the mold!

Does the praetorian aswell? Have the two pack

 

[The Green Goblin]

Does the praetorian aswell? Have the two pack

They're both out that day.

 

[Auel]

It has been mentioned that there's 8 Praetorian Guards and only 5 have been revealed. I wonder if Bandai will release them all or I have to resort to Hasbro.

 

[Sachiel]

There are only three helmet types and 4 different weapons used by the guards. You just have to wait and see how many of each figure you need to complete the guard.

EIGHT?! Holy crap I was complaining about TFA troopers. I have no desire for eight of those ****ing guys.

Ah, you're right. This is one heck of an expensive troop to build.

 

[Silrian]

Five dif weapons.* Sword, whip, halberd type thing, spear type thing and dual uh things. I don't know my weapon names.
Anyway actually seems cool imo from a movie pov. Think I'll just get two of the three helmets and give them the weapons I like most, if they're featured well in the movie.


When could we get new announcements? Cause these will all be out by what, january? Or even this year.

The last set is Rey and a Elite Praetorian Guard with the Whip Staff in December, no new announcements so far. I bet they are waiting for the movie to drop to release more items.
