Hasbro 6" Black Series Star Wars line

Re: Hasbro legends 6" sw figures

Amazing what you find when you aren't even looking. Happened to be in Walgreens and saw two of these on the shelf. Never planned on getting one and hadn't even seen one before today. But had some spare points to use so why not.

Tap'd from my LG G3

Yoda doesn't have a biceps (or elbow) swivel, fail, now I can't pose him how I wanted to.

But they gave him useless swivel thighs.

 

[Badvermin]

Those are birthing hips.

Exactly Sachiel, so weird.

I think I am dropping this line as well and just sticking with Hot Toys. I was cherry picking anyway.

this line is pretty much dead to me. Hasbro is just half-assing it

More like thunder thighs...........

Now we REALLY know how he lifted that X-wing. The LACK of a biceps swivel is what kills the figure for me though. I want him with both hands on his cane. ("Phrasing!")

If I can't have that^ or him on Luke's back, I don't need a yoda I think. He doesn't have the facesculpt to be a PT Yoda imo, that saber is redundant. Always found it stupid Yoda used a saber in general. He could do everything just with force powers.

Yeah if you collect HT I don't see why you'd get into this line. For me 1/6 is too big, I'm solely in this for the scale, it's my favourite. But past japanese brands, hard to get any quality out of it.

Btw that's a cool sig Matt!

Yeah I think I'm with you.. ran into the Jedi Luke, Yoda & Green clone this weekend at TRU and had absolutely no desire to drop $20 each on them. Cruised over to the NECA section instead and grabbed some Planet of the Apes figures which seemed way more worth the money... god I wish NECA had this license instead.

I'm trying to find white Fett. Just bought the stormie. Awesome display with Fett, stormie and speeder bike/Biker. Certain figs in this line are must-buys, but I've seen quite a few that are easy passes. Not sure how many of these I'll get all up, but Bossk looks amazing, and the Luke/Wampa and Han/Taun are also must-buys.

Could you imagine if NECA got this license? PShh.

Better sculpts, mildly better paintjobs, chance of broken joints.

I'd still take them over Hasbro's though.

 

[Evil_Ash]

I'll take the chance of a broken joint over this ANY day of the week

Exactly lol

Much much better sculpts though, that's the deal breaker right there

My order for the latest wave from BBTS came through this week (Tie Pilot, Yoda, Repainted Clone and Repacked Obi-Wan). Cancelled it. I like this line and have bought everything so far but just too much stuff to collect and with the HT SW line next year something had to go. I'll pick up the occasional figure i like but won't be a completist anymore.

 

[Garemlin]

Looks like I am like many others in being very selective with this line. It has to be something I really want and the sculpt has to be worthwhile. Hence the reason I passed on Vader.

So far I have
Han
Stormtrooper x2
Sandtrooper (both versions)
Luke X-Wing
R2-D2
Boba Fett
Boba Fett Prototype Armor
Speeder Bike with Scout Trooper

The only other ones I will probably get are the Tie Fighter Pilot, Chewbacca and Greedo (when I find a good deal on him). Nothing else has my interest.

 

[bigbisont]

I have been cherry picking this line myself. I dig it overall. Mostly I just want the "bad guys", but I did get the latest Jedi Luke to pair with Han and Chewy. All decent enough I guess.

I LOVE the storm troopers, clone troops, Fett, and the speeder bike. Awesome figures. Vader was terribly disappointing. I would MUCH rather they have sculpted a good head over having a removable helmet (which no doubt caused the size/proportion problems).

I thought the same thing. I'd love that. hasbro has gotten complacent or whatnot....
