Anyone know when the wave with Revan and Ahsoka hits?

I'm a little disappointed because the riot control shield isn't removable without having to stretch out the plastic straps.

As I said on Sunday, this is going to be an all Star Wars week at the site, and today's entry is a new Star Wars Black 6" exclusive that just started shipping - Poe Dameron and the Riot Trooper! This target exclusive has some improvements over the standard release of both figures...but not major improvements:

Thanks man!

For anyone curious about how the Elite Series Flametrooper fits in with Black Series First Order troopers:

Elite Kylo Ren back to back with Flametrooper:


Since the Flametrooper is more of a specialist/heavy armor type trooper, I think you can get away with him being displayed with the Black Series First Order troopers. He is larger than the Black Series troopers, but doesn't tower over them like the Elite Kylo Ren does.

Just found Wave 2 at the local WalMart in Thomasville, NC.....They had 2 Poes, 2 Troopers (bought both), 3 Finns, 1 Guavian (bought it), 2 Zuvios and a lone Chewy.....They also had 2 Phasmas (I left both of them, as I just bought her on ebay earlier in the week for $35....poor timing), so it appears they are hitting Wally and this one got two cases.

Happy Hunting!

Hey RogueRunner, you do anything to you Kylo's hood? Looks really good.

Great news! Thank you for sharing. Wally, here I come!

Double post, I am ashamed.

Ok wait..

So they are molding Revan's cloak and robes..

but destroyed Kylo Ren with soft goods?

You're main, brand new, go-to villain of the ST and you destroy him with soft goods..

but this character from the video game EU gets the nice, sculpted treatment.

This. Makes. No. Sense.

Hasbro.

That's Hasbro for you, I hate their mix of soft goods to the figures.

They're actually looking into making Revan with soft goods, namely the quilted tunic. They said they were "testing" multiple ones. They want to redeem their history with soft goods. ANH Leia is going to have an all soft good dress after all.

Anyway, I hate plastic long skirts, they mess with articulation and completely destroy the ability to sit down. Take the Black Series Emperor Palpatine. What does he do most? Sit. What is the figure limited by? It can't sit. That sculpted skirt ruined the figure.

Also, new to the forum, hello .

Found Captain Phasma today at Wal Mart. Huge figure! They had all of series 2. So far, the only purchases I have made for Force Awakens are Kylo, 2 Stormtroopers and Phasma. Will wait and see the movie before any others. I bought these strictly because I love the designs so much.

I finally found a regular FO Stormtrooper at TRU yesterday. Now onto finding Phasma.

Sorry I haven't watched RotJ yet, of course all he did was sit in the movie.

It's unwise in hasbro's part to think of making the thing to have plastic robes, if they're going to make a figure with a mix of cloth they should make it right. The figures I'm talking about are the ones who can do something other than just sitting around - Lard Vader and Kylo Ren.

The way they put the cloth with Vader was horrible in my opinion it looked liked he's wearing diapers and loose parts on his chest cloth. Kylo's okay the robe's a little long and the texture of the cloth is bothersome, unless it's in the movie that that's how his cloth looks like then I'm great with it.

 

[Lee in MI]

I thought the cloth on Kylo was pretty accurate although scaling is always an issue.

Vader was an unmitigated mess. They really need to do an SDCC exclusive and make an ultimate Vader and kill it on the articulation, the cut and sew and the friggin helmet.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I folded down each side to my liking, and then used a toothpick and a dab of super glue on each side of the rubber cloak piece. It sits much more flush, and looks way more accurate now. He still has all the range of motion with it glued down
