    Stuff like this only ends up damaging relationships with brick-and-mortar and online partners when they inevitably bomb. With so many figures ending up there, they need to seriously consider giving Ollies an exclusive.

    Boys, boy, boys. You just don't get it. Credit collection, bad figure selection and Holocomm are there to feed a niche sector of the collecting community - the Peg Warmer Ultras. As a proud card-carrier of the Peg Warming Ultras (Peggies) I welcome the new selection. Thank you, Lucas Film and Disney! If it wasn't for random figure selections like this I wouldn't currently boast a 56-figure-strong platoon of General Lando Calrissians (#GreatestArmyBuilder). Peggies 4 eva!

    Last weekend on IG, under Yak’s Haslab post, I suggested that Hasbro actively fleecing their customers because they have no misgivings about exploiting our fandom. The amount of blowback I received from Hasbro’s loyal evangelists was eye-rollingly vehement. Yet here we are again. Defenses that they have to exploit tooling in multiple ways disregards the relentless, satellite lines on offer, all with unique molds that are practically stocked directly into clearance aisles. Tooling does not cost what they would have you believe. That we are nearly 50 years into the existence of Star Wars toys should imply that selling this stuff is a science yet the company seems to be run by executives who have nothing more insightful to offer than, “turn the nerds upside down and shake them HARDER.” After the insult that was the Tonnika sisters last week, I cancelled so many, many preorders. And I will be especially critical of the impulse to collect Hasbro SW in the future. I may be a fan, but I’m not as gullible as Hasbro seems to think.

    Nailed it with the POTA clip at the beginning. Nice.
    100% agree with everything you guys say here.
    I have said for a while that anytime there is a decision made regarding these toy lines that is so completely baffling from a potential business sales standpoint, that there is a 99.9% chance that the decision is being made in response to Disney as the license holder. (You don’t ask collectors to buy a $500 lightsaber from a character that no one knows about from a brand new tv show, as they did with the Reva saber Haslab). No one in their right mind would make that business decision. They obviously have to put out a certain amount of figures/product to coincide with new media within certain time frames. Nothing could be more obvious.
    There were decisions made on the Indiana Jones 6” line that were complete headscratchers with no other explanation besides a directive from Disney.
    THE DEFINITION OF CLONE IS BASED ON REPLICATING FOR PETES SAKE. the reuse is built into the property! The money prints itself. Hasbro knows this, but they have contractual obligations to satisfy else they lose the license.
    These holocomm figures are just the latest example of being tied to contractual terms for product releases and is the only explanation for literally sitting on the automatic money printing opportunity this property comes with in the form of just releasing clone repaint after clone repaint.
    One thing that did occcur to me is I wonder if they are holding off on doing a Leia holocomm until they release the recently announced new version of ANH Leia? Could explain the absence of that character from that subline.

    the only black series figure i preordered the day they put these up for order was the re-release of jedi fallen order kal kestis. i sold him off long time back and regreted it. so, now i will have him and rex back in my hands again soon. i also preordered the acolyte retro collection set. cause i am getting out of black series and focusing a lot more on my retro collection figures instead. already sold off a great deal of my black series. the only set i kept of my black series was my favorite OT movie which is ROTJ. i fell behind too much on the black series and too much is out there to keep up with now. so, that is where i stand with all of it.

    Great intro, especially Nate’s OotB theme song and harmonica playing. The outro duet was top notch. I’ve reduced my Black Series buying considerably so don’t plan to purchase any of these figures. That is bad for Hasbro to release the same figure but with a highly coveted accessory to get people to buy the same figure twice. I’m more vested in DC Multiverse line and it seems McFarlane Toys follows that practice quite a bit with heads. Instead of packaging a figure with multiple heads the figure will be sold separately with the different heads, hate that.

    Why are we going back to the bounty puck thing for the holocomm collection?? They were moving away from it, I was so proud of them, and now this?
    Definitely feels like a "we need x number of new Acolyte figures because contract" decision. I mean I get Ezra a bit, but these are some strange choices. Especially compared to last month's great reveals

    I'm really enjoying The Acolyte and I'm all in on the TBS figures. Except that awful holocomm figure. Osha I think is what the ideal TBS character release should look like in terms of accessories. Like we do not need the alternate droid configuration. If they had just packed in the regular one no one would have cared that much. But they put that little bit more effort in which is commendable, if they did that more consistently across the line there might not be quite so much negativity in the collecting community about it.

    Honestly the only reason I'd buy these would be because they work well as generic Jedi figures. Other than that I don't like them. IDC about Acolyte either, not because it's "WoKe DisNey" but simply because I like the Clone Wars era a lot more 😂

    I am skipping on all of these figures. I love Shin Hati and putting out that garbage photoreal face was an insultment to the utter beauty that Ivanna Sakhno is. I would love to have her an Baylan Skoll in the Mix but those releases are garbage and so I am skipping.
    I am a big fan of Carbonized and Credit Collection lines 1. Because I like the shiny carbonized and the funky CC looks and 2. Most of the time you get those figures pretty cheap after the release (I got CC Ashoka for 12€ for example) But I am not interested in the Holocomm line at all. Maybe in deep sale some day when I have to much money and it is burning a whole in my pocket.
    But there are also a lot of great releases lately like the Droideka, Ki Adi Mundi, the Ashoka Clone 2 Pack and the Battle Droid etc. But it is alright when there is no new BS releases I can spent more money on some sweet NEca Aliens and Predators.😁

  • @Beaker709

    I wonder if Disney/LucasFilm subsidizes Hasbro to make figures that potentially won't sell. Corporations are not known for their smarts, but I am sure they must have been burnt enough over the past few years to not want to make these figures.

    Time to jump 3”3/4! It is unavoidable. It is your destiny. (We’re also dealing with some nonsense in TVC)
    The only candidate for Holocomm that I would purchase, if I were a TBS collector, is Leia. Vader is coming, it’s up on the Pulse China website. But Leia established it. Outside of standing up to Vader and shooting the Stormtroopers to help her rescuers or comforting Luke after Obi-Wan’s death, this is THE Leia moment. That message started the entire thing along with the backstory told by Obi-Wan.
    This will be a day long remembered. It’ll have seen the rise of more pegwarmers and the slap in the face to the day-one collectors.

      @@OutOfTheBasement Nate the number one thing that bothers me the most about made for TV Star Wars is what they could've been. Not many media corporations can throw 180 million at a TV show and it seems like that kind of money could've bought way better writing and acting. Instead of a large production made with an insane amount of money from a powerful corporation it seemed like a well funded RUclips fan channel production. I especially had this same feeling with BOBF and Obi-Wan.
