That’s good to hear! Wave 7 hasn’t really made much of an appearance in my own area, at least not yet. Stores are still sitting on the peg- and shelfwarmers from previous wave assortments, so if they did show up they all disappeared quickly.

Possibly. It seemed to do the trick for some Darth Vader capes.

I wonder if a wire in the seem of the brim would do the trick?

The Emperor your favorite? Who knew? 😉 Yeah, I think he is looking better. So glad they lengthened his robe from the prototype.

I just found (and bought) Bossk yesterday, so I’m excited. Wave 7 is really getting out there. I saw plenty of TIE Pilots and Chewbaccas around town as well as 2 aforementioned Bossks and 2 Han in Stormtrooper disguise.

The Emperor is my favorite of that new wave assortment by far, Sith lightning bolts or not. He’s looking a lot more impressive in packaged images than he did in the official Hasbro image revealed at New York Comic-Con.

He could stand to have a couple more accessories but he’s much cooler-looking than that first photo that was made public, so I definitely plan on getting him when I find him.

Yeah, I suppose his packaging does look a little bare. All-black with nothing but a black cane accessory. I’m guessing that soft-goods robe ate up all of the accessory budget on this one. Still, I’m becoming more and more excited for this 6″ figure.

Which leads me to note that it would be quite (overly) cheap of Hasbro to make an exclusive release of this figure with force lightening as an accessory while leaving out the lightening in the mainline release.
