Speaking of Luke in dark robes, the new SHFiguarts Luke looks amazing. Anyone collect these and have any thoughts on it? What are previously released ones that are must haves? Thoughts on these figs overall? I know we're all mostly underwhelmed with them for WWE but curious as to everyone's thoughts here. Initially these completely dump on most of the Black Series 6-inches to me for sure. Never seen them up close, though. I bought a bunch of the main characters in Figuarts form a few months back and I've got to say ... for me they are a little underwhelming. I don't know why. Something about the faces (maybe it's the face printing?) just doesn't do it for me, though I know a lot of people love 'em. Side by side with the black series they're more accurate but there's something to the "toy" feel of the Black Series even if they're not as accurate. I think I'm going to go back to a few Black Series here and there and save up for Hot Toys somewhere down the line in the far, far away future, lol. (If anyone is interested in the Figuarts loose feel free to send me a PM.) You have a list of who you have?

Arena Padme, Mace and Dooku are my remaining Prequel wants. Technically Palpatine too because I want them to redo that figure. I think their first effort was horrible. I think much like Vader, we could see a huge improvement in a second go-round.

Thanks, you're both making pretty good points. I think I'm going to continue cherry-picking from both lines like I do with most toys, but I'm looking to start off with Darth Maul and TLJ Luke and then could definitely see myself with Mace Windu or Anakin-Vader. Any other favorites you have as a suggestion, either of you? From both Black Series and Figuarts? I've always wanted 6 inch SW figures and I think this is probably all I'll have to work with in my lifetime ha. My favorite is ep2 anakin and padme. They are a bit more but the cheaper figs I like are mace, jango fett, and ep2 obi wan. The last Jedi line is also pretty great with phasma, kylo, etc

Don't think so. The only one I've seen is the 3.75 with the Jango head. I'm sad you wouldn't want one, tho, PJ! Mace is a hero!!! You misread me. I said Mace and Padme would be the last two Prequel figures I would want.

So without anything else to buy in the other lines I collect I decided it was time to pick up the Snowtrooper I have been holding off on.

imgur.com/a/9vDZuI'm hoping they announce more prequel black series figures this year I’ve been checking tons of sites leading up to Toyfair and SDCC this year. With the Solo movie out in May and EP9 not out until late 2019, they should be able to get out quite a bit of Prequel and OT 6” figures. Here are the rumors I’ve heard of whom we are getting in 6” Scale: Bespin Han Captain Piett Hoth Gear Leia Zuckuss Padmé Mace Windu EP1 Obi Wan General Grevious

Hopefully with Zuckuss they get out rereleases of Bossk and IG88 cause I passed on them initially and feeling some major regret
I was just trying to think then other day what prequel characters I still wanted. Forgot about Grevious, but Mace, Padme, and Dooku are all over do. Heck, I'd even get Jar Jar if they made him.

Wait for 2020 and you’ll probably see re-releases of those on the 40th carding for Empire, just like we got for Star Wars. There is a handful of Prequel characters I want, but the 4 you mentioned seem like the obvious ones that NEED to be out by now.

Yeah, I thought about that, but 2020 is so far away, lol
I wish I'd gotten Bespin Luke too, so there's a few I'd like
Dengar and 4LOM are on the horizon too. Bossk and IG88 were hard to get even when they were new. Rereleases along with these new guys seems like a no brainer. Boba Fett too. (Him I at least have)
I think after watching The Toys That Made Us, I've gotten on this kick of getting modern figures that had vintage figures, like I did with Masters of the Universe and my Marvel and DC figures

Honestly, I think 2018 and 2019 are going to be good years for the 6” line with getting a lot of EP1-EP6 characters out. Then 2020 will be the anniversary of ESB and I’d bet we get a good amount of characters then too.

Bespin Han and Hoth Leia are super big wants. Hopefully those are true.

well I got extremely lucky today at Target, I went in looking for Gargano & Ciampa, and found the newest wave of Black Series figures! That was great and all, but the price was even better!! Neither of the 3 figures rang up, the woman at the register didn't seem like she cared, so she put them at $4.94 EACH!!! I got 3 figures for $16! Pretty damn awesome deal.

Saw a lot of reports of that happening. Awesome grabs. I managed to get Rey and DJ off HTS. Already had the HasCon Rex

My pick ups over the last couple weeks: I hate this, these are all supposed to be the same lightsaber. I wish Hasbro would pick a single shade of blue/green/red and stick with it
