In reply to souldeserter. Yeah, I don't like how they hid the characters' names down there at the bottom among the legalese.

I think it is absolutely hilarious that all of these leaks about the TFA products are coming out long before their release. It just goes to show you that anything Hasbro tries these days (including “attempting to be super secretive for no apparent reason”) ends up blowing up in their face. They very easily could have and should have showed these products at conventions going all the way back to Celebration in April, but instead, they left us all frustrated and now regular “John Does” out there are doing their job for them at no cost to them. Maybe that was the plan all along………

Love the artwork on the cards a very nice distinction from the black series and
will be a dealer maker for a lot of 5poa fence sitters.
Phasma , Kylo & Troopers stand outs – Rey and Finn strong Poe iffy if non removable helmet.
But that guy bottom right if a horrible sculpt from a very bland design looks REALLY GI JOE to me no disrespect to you JOE fans but I’m into the Wars for the quirky nature of George’s editing eye.
So from a retail perspective if its 1 of each in a case there are 3 likely peg warmers
the aforementioned and Luke and Vader- that’s a lot of profit represented in those three figures.
They are in closing very handsome but ultra conservative for a first wave I mean no aliens no droids?
I’ve read a lot of hate in the last 24 hours toward Hasbro that in my opinion is totally unjustified-give these guys and gals a break!

In reply to Paulskywalker. Whaaaaat?? Are you saying SW couldn't crossover with DW? LOL! I kinda agree,on the time travel thing,but a flashback could work if done right. I know at least three instances in the OT where it would perfectly.

In reply to robjoh. Yeah but it wouldn't fit Star wars, like time travel wouldn't fit star wars.

In reply to Paulskywalker. Why would that be silly? Lots of movies and tv shows do flashbacks.

I don’t see anything here that needed to be kept so secret. It’s all stuff depicting characters we’ve seen already, in an assortment that pretty much anyone would have guessed would be the first basic assortment. And regardless of all practicalities, it’s pretty sad that Captain Phasma is not vac-metalized. The whole point of that costume is the shininess. This version just looks like a “chimneysweep trooper”. Too bad. (And I’m still waiting to see if Phasma fights a bear in TFA. Cool or not, the whole thing just seems like a direct lift out of GoT.)

Love how they market old trilogy nostalgia in selling this film yet the only one who has a figure so far is Chewie who looks exactly the same as he did in Jedi. smh Hasblow.
