Kmart.com orders from their $7.50 TVC sale are showing up, and as most others, my order was wrong. The above figures do not appear to be Death Troopers or Dr. Aphra.
Personal Note: At least these figures arrived very mint on package (they handled the contents way better than I expected and these might be the best condition cardbacks on TVC that I’ve seen), but it’s still not what I ordered. I’m too lazy to go through the hassle of returning these, and will find a customizing use for the figures, but I won’t be ordering from them again. For anything.
Target stores officially can start selling Resistance figures tomorrow, January 15. So if you are on the hunt for these, or have been turned down because of Target enforcing the street date (which is ridiculous considering how low key this show is), then be on the lookout starting tomorrow.
If you’ve been at your local Walmart lately, you may have noticed that the toy aisles are resetting, clearing out the old, and making room for the new.
Among the clearance items you will likely find are products from Solo: A Star Wars Story, and you might want to scan them because the marked clearance price may not reflect the full markdown.

Kmart.com has listed newer TVC figures for $7.50 – you can find the listing by clicking here.
UPDATE – Based on comments from collectors who have ordered from Kmart online, the experience hasn’t been great. Some have received poorly packaged figures and sometimes incorrect product. So… order at your own risk, and I’ll be sure to post a report once I receive my order (err… I mean… if I receive it) .
As an adult 3.75″ collector since 1995, I’ve seen Hasbro approach figure articulation and aesthetics in many forms… and here were are almost 25 years later, and it seems in some ways, Hasbro has taken a step back with aesthetics (at least compared to figures from 10 years ago).
What I mean is articulation is needed – I love when figures have a wide range of ball joints – but there are some times when it feels as though Hasbro goes overboard, especially with how they are engineering the hips on figures now. In some cases, it’s fine – but it doesn’t seem like Hasbro is in the “Goldilocks Zone” anymore when it comes to articulation… it’s either too little (5poa style) , or too much.
Thoughts? Do you like the way these figures are designed these days, or to do prefer the style from about 10 years ago? Share your opinions here or in the forums!

Walmart’s exclusive TVC Mimban Stormtrooper is finally seeing some distribution thanks to them being in stock online, though at a pretty high markup.
Personal Note: Mine arrived today, and damn what a fine figure it is! Hopefully Hasbro and Disney are taking notes that great army builders like this should be packed heavily in basic assortments as opposed to being an exclusive. And just imagine how much better the TVC retail landscape would look if Wave One of TVC had two of these packed into each case instead of repacks of Rey and Jyn?
