I think I originally asked the question about the Jawa bandoliers. Can you get them off the figure by boiling? Are they salvageable for custom use, or would they require extensive modding?

Honestly, I don't have them. I was asking Greg about them. I would assume some boiling would work just fine to get them loose.

Is there any news on a 3.75 Black Series type of line? All I am seeing for 3.75 figures is 5 POA. And those figures don't even have removable helmets.

Zero fucks given about any of those, really. Ewok Leia might have a useful head sculpt, though.

Was just coming to report about the 3.75" Black being Wally World exclusives. Not a damn $13 level figure in the lot.

I'd be pissed about having the good figures be WM exclusives... if I actually wanted any of them. That's a dick move.

"I know, people think our figures are priced too high, so let's remove all competition, make them harder to find, and see if that helps!"

In every town, there are scalpers jerking off madly...

I just took a look at my Walmart.
All the Force Awakens stuff was barely touched.
They put the lone Han Stormtrooper in the clearance aisle for FULL price.
Then there was the future Star Wars spot in the aisle...

NO SPOT FOR THEIR OWN EXCLUSIVES!
:rolleyes:

Yeah, because hasbro isn't known for double, triple, and quadruple dipping on characters and sculpts... honestly, I want to see the damn film before I start shelling out that kind of jack for these figures.

Imagine if you went nuts in '99 buying up kid Anakin, watto, and jar-jar figures before the movie was released. Gotta get 'em all. Gonna be so cool. Gotta be "first!" even though I don't know shit about the plot...... Then you'd have felt like a real chump after seeing that steaming pile of a film. Good lord, even to this day, you can't give those figures away.

SW fans are known for impatience, willingness to throw money away for no reason, and complete fanboy insanity. If I had the SW toy license, I'd put together a release strategy that wrung even cent out of the retarded fanbase, and step one would be putting out inferior figures early so that around the time the movie drops, you can put out better ones, and they'll all feel completely compelled to rebuy, lest they feel like "not a real fan". Checkmate.

Eh, maybe Poe will provide the arms for my pilot custom, but Finn might just be a trove of civillian or uninspired PMC parts fodder. Rey has a set of articulated wrists, so those will be nice for female figures. Han, well, it's another Han figure. Maybe the trench coat will look better on a bulkier Joe figure.


I guess you had to have been a Clone Wars fan to give a shit about her. My only exposure has been through Rebels.

I'm glad to see they are making articulated 3.75 Sw figures. But I wonder why exclusive to WM? And what is up with the huge box for such a small figure? Also, I don't much care for the price they are asking for 3.75 figures, but that Fin would make for a great civilian as was mentioned. And here I was, just thinking about buying the 5POA version of him!

**EDIT TO ADD**

It also looks like all these figures will have the same articulated wrist hinge...which is really good!

I wish the 3-3/4" black series would get in this way...you'd THINK Hasbro would have had them in stores in time for Black Friday but noooooooo.
