Hasbro 6" Black Series Star Wars line

[K07]

Keep holding out. The most I'd pay for any of these is $30 and I will admit I bought X-Wing Luke for that price. I got him nearly a month before street date from eBay. It was totally worth it for the kid in me who couldn't wait to get his grubby paws on it!

Hey, check out how great Bespin Luke is capable of turning out if you score one with good paint apps!

If you are going to complain about these, then the human characters in this line just aren't for you. I think this is on par with the ANH Mark Hamill and ANH Harrison Ford likenesses they've done. My biggest complaint would be the lack of removable hand. Seems like a missed opportunity.

Well, Toyfair is this weekend so I'm sure we'll know more soon!

Re: Hasbro legends 6" sw figures

I wonder how Medicom's 6 inch line will compare.

 

[Sachiel]

More expensive. More articulation. More accessories (like different hands). Probably better detail and paint. Likenesses could be hit or miss.

I don't think they'll go as extensive as Hasbro.

 

[The Jerker]

More expensive no doubt. I'm happy with the black line but I am curious to see what Medi comes up with.

 

[K07]

Medicom is getting a 6" license for SW? I can't imagine them being more articulated. Hasbro's got some issues with these toys, but I don't think articulation is one of them. I'd expect paint and detail to be amazing and I couldn't imagine their portraits being worse than Hasbro's. I'm eager to see them even if I've decided I'm going to pass on them. I couldn't afford them. I know they'll be much more expensive than the Black Series. And even if they look nicer, I think the fact that the Black Series are hardy toys makes them even more appealing to me.

If medicom's other 6 inch figures are anything to go buy, they will be about twice the cost of a Hasbro figure. Not too bad considering that the paint is likely to be vastly superior.

They've already released a Rises Batman and ASM Spider-Man and they've shown off their upcoming ASM2 Spider-Man. They have more articulation and range than Hasbro's figures.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the info. When I think 6" Medicom, I think of these:

Lovely figures but more like statues. Do we know when these SW ones are due to come out? I wonder which characters they'll tackle. I hope they do R2 and have less trouble getting him into scale than Hasbro did. Of course, Medicom's track record for a scaled R2 is already spotty so I wouldn't hold my breath.

I still have not purchased a 6" SW figure yet!!

Me either. I've been tempted but I haven't brought myself to do it. I know everyone seems to think $20 is cheap for a 6inch figure but I don't. Not when you want several. But I will be buying Vader and maybe Chewy. Very curious about those.

I have a few of those Medi POTA figures...they aren't very articulated, but they do look pretty good.....and now NECA is going to be doing POTA figures....too bad they couldn't have a crack at SW....

This "black Collection" is....okay, but uneven....

Re: Hasbro legends 6" sw figures

NECA, for all its faults, I'd still rather see them do 6 inch figures from licenses I love than any other company.

$20 is ridiculous for these figures.

Re: Hasbro legends 6" sw figures

It's priced accordingly really. The 3.75 are ten bucks now. It's the name of the game.
