Hasbro 6" Black Series Star Wars line

[pixletwin]

ANH core and various ESB/RotJ are all that I would be interested in.

Exactly... but I'm sure it would have been a lot more than $20

This seems like Hasbro's attempt to get into a scale that's a bit more popular with collectors.

They definitely wouldn't have been cheap, which is probably why they got nixed. Not enough of a market for them.

Seems cool, yet, I really don't want to get sucked back into buying Hasbro product again.

 

[IrishJedi]

That Luke looks good. But these will be made in MUCH higher numbers than NECA figures. $20 for a mass-produed 6-inch figure? Go spit.

 

[Wor-Gar]

ANH core and various ESB/RotJ are all that I would be interested in.

Core heroes = 10 figures (Luke, Leia, Han, Ben, R2, 3PO, Chewie, Yoda, Lando, Wicket)
OT Villains = 5 (Vader, Fett, Tarkin, Jabba, Emperor)
Stormtrooper variations = 3

So you're already at 18
x $20
= $360

I'll take that. They would look nice around the work desk.

^^^^these...........



and a few more........

5-7 6" figures look nice. 18 is crowded.

So if you had to get it down to 5-7, who would you keep and who gets the ax of the above?



I'd probably take Vader, stormtrooper, Luke, Ben, Han and the droids. But its a hard call and seems incomplete. That's the temptation.

Looks like luke is depressed but that may just be me what I see. I would maybe pick up a few imperials depending on what they make for a little display on my desk.

That is very classy packaging, which is a surprise coming from Hasbro.

Meh. Packaging looks generic and uninspired. Now if they had put it in the vintage black and silver packaging they'd have something impressive.

 

[Wor-Gar]

At least this scale should fit in nicely with the Medicom figures.

None would get the ax. I would rotate, just like I do with my Doctor Who 6 inch scale figs. New setup every month or so.

Let's not go down this road again.

Wasn't there a line of Japanese 6" or 8" SW figures not long ago, they only released Vader and Boba Fett... anybody remembers those?

Found it! Those were the TOMY Direct 8 inchers... Only Vader and Fett were released
But I guess they won't work with Hasbro's...

 

[Wor-Gar]

I don't get the "Black series", nor their explanation of black being a significant color in the original Star Wars. Of course it is, it's space.

When I first saw the title I thought it was a limited line of Lando, Mace and Ice Cream Maker Guy.

^

You forgot Cpt. Panaka, Achk Med Beq & Fozec.

Great news! I'm in for the original 12.

 

[Geb]

These look great...can't wait! Sandtroopers kick a$$!
