Jyn Erso Deja Vu
So here were are the week before Christmas, and the same time TLJ his theaters… and another 3.75″ wave is starting to show up; wich includes a very familar face from the past year in Rogue One packaging.
Personal Note: While I applaud Hasbro for getting another 3.75″ assortment out right now, I have to question why they included this figure of Jyn. She is probably just going to add to the logjam of Hux, Rose and Finn that are already colllecting dust…
We all love Jyn, but she’s essentially a carry forward figure that pegwarmed like crazy all of last year. Is this the best you can do, Hasbro? How about throwing in a bizarre alien from Canto Bight instead? Or a resitance trooper with some removable gear? Or include a First Order Stormtrooper again? Sigh.
Am I right? Or being too harsh? Share your thoughts and recent finds in the forums!
