Iām having the same reaction I had with Hera here in thinking she looks fantastic but Iāll give it a week- and, sure enough, my enthusiasm to own her has diminished significantly. She still looks stellar; I just care a lot less about ācollecting herā now.
Thrawn looks equally as impressive, but, in a few days, I doubt ill be that fussed about having him as a permanent fixture In my Star Wars display.
However, he is a very significant character in the post OT lore, has a unique aesthetic, and is definitely the primary focus of the next few years of Star Wars, so he kind of deserves a spot on the shelf. Where exactly, Iām not sure.
If not now, hopefully by the end of the Filoni movie, heāll have shown some degree of formidable, strategic prowess- beyond failing at every turn and claiming a negative outcome was his intent all along- to warrant veneration.
If I had infinite funds and space, Iād just buy the entire line, because they will undoubtedly look amazing once assembled, but Iām really trying to think harder about what I buy these days- especially after sinking a fair amount of money into numerous Mando and BOBF figures only to to have all enthusiasm for them utterly destroyed by Mando S3.
What to do, what to do?..
