UPDATE: Rogue One 2-Pack Wave 3 Preorder

entearth_logo

EntertainmentEarth is now taking preorders for the Wave 3 of Rogue One 3.75″ Action Figure “Versus” 2-packs which includes 3x repacks of the Baze/Stormtrooper set as well as 5x of a new set listed below.

3x SW R1 BASE MALBUS AND STORMTROOPER
5x SW SWU LEAD HB TAN AND V TROOPER COMMAND

The bold text is different than the Poe/First Order Stormtrooper set and since it is not labeled as “R1” is looks to be from another era of the saga. As soon as we learn more, we will update this story.

UPDATE: if past code names hold true for this set, “Lead HB Tan” should be Finn and “V(illain) Trooper Command” will be Captain Phasma as seen on display at SDCC 2016 via The Toyark.

Toyguide Update: Imperial Ground Crew

The Yakface Toyguide updates continue for our next entry in the Rogue One 3.75″ basic figure assortment with the Imperial Ground Crew figure.

PROS:  I’m a sucker for figures that expand the ranks and background fodder for the Empire. This figure evokes a strong sense of nostalgia with this precursor the the Imperial Gunner figure from 1985. There are also hints of more modern figures like the 2006 TSC Death Star Gunner and 2008 TLC Imperial Engineer. The sculpt for the Imperial Ground Crew figure does stand out on its own with excellent details and the ability to stow the included control beacons on the figure’s back.

CONS: Can’t help but wish that this figure included an E-11 blaster or some other type of sidearm. The combat gear/flight pack seems something directly out of Batman, not Star Wars, but it should be a fine additional play feature for the kiddos.

Head to the toyguide for our detailed image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
