Star Wars Black Series

I'm so excited for Ezra. I love the bearded look and the figure seems to have captured the likeness perfectly.

In other news, Yakface added upcoming figures from the following movies and shows to his TBS masterlist (there are also a few named characters like The Stranger, Palpatine, Blinded Kanan but I guess the might have already been discussed around here?):

The Clone Wars
Ahsoka
Ahsoka
Star Wars Rebels
Star Wars Rebels
Tales of the Jedi
Tales
The Empire Strikes Back
The Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
Attack of the Clones


I feel like the AotC figures have to be Jedi or maybe a Jango update? Really hoping the one from TPM is Queen Amidala in her red dress.

Interesting. Are these in addition to ones already announced? Like, could the Clone Wars one be the Jedi Temple Guard, and one of the AOTC be Barriss? If not, I think I do remember an updated Jango being rumored. Hopefully one of those Ahsoka figs is Carson Teva, and I'd love if that Empire slot went to Lobot. If those Rebels slots don't include the Blind Kanan, I'd love AP-5 and Kallus. I'm sure we'll find out about at least a handful at SDCC. Exciting times ahead!

Yes, these are in addition to the ones already announced. Carson Teva's been confirmed by name as well, so it probably isn't him. Here's the list of upcoming named figures confirmed by Yakface (the ones in bold are the next in line to be released):

Obi-Wan Kenobi – ROTS
Anakin Skywalker – ROTS
The Stranger – The Acolyte
Mace Windu & Supreme Chancellor Palpatine 2pk – ROTS

Boba Fetts
Ezra Bridger (Night Trooper Disguise) – Ahsoka
R5-D56 – Star Wars Visions
Jango Fett – Attack of the Clones
Kanan Jarrus (Blinded) – Star Wars Rebels
Carson Teva
Asajj Ventress
Luke Skywalker

You can check the entire thing here:

I'd love if the ESB figure is Lobot as well. Who else do we have missing? Bespin Leia?

Sweet! Thanks so much!

Would love if that Luke ended up being Crait Luke, but I'm sure that one's a long shot.

Bespin Leia is a want as well, but honestly I think I may prefer a TROS Jedi training Leia over her. Though Bespin is definitely far more likely to happen.

I see the list mentions another Clones of the Republic pack as well. Would love if it was Plo Koon in his CW gear; maybe they went ahead and churned out some extra heads while doing the reissue.
 
There are actually 2 upcoming figures from ESB on that list. One in bold, which means it's coming soon, and another further down the line. So we might be getting both Lobot and Bespin Leia, hopefully. Any other characters from that movie not done yet? I guess Bespin Luke need an update.
 
Snowtrooper officer is the only one on my wishlist from ESB anymore. Unless you count any of the preproduction/promo Boba Fett costumes.

I'm hoping it's a fully new Bespin Luke. That figure needs a redo pretty badly, and it's been a LONG time since it came out.


Snowtrooper officer is the only one on my wishlist from ESB anymore.
I want a whole new Snowtrooper more in line with the modern Stormtrooper body. Plus an officer on the same. Wouldn't say no to a better-articulated AT-AT Driver, either. And, if I'm being honest, a re-issue of the Hoth Rebel Trooper would probably get me to buy another one, goddamn it.
 
I'm honestly surprised at how few ESB wants I have anymore. Lobot and maybe, maybe some Bespin security.
ESB has the smallest cast even with background characters. There's rebels and bespin people, six bounty hunters, one new stormtrooper type (with a variation), one new driver type, and Veers with his armor. You don't have mos eisley or the cantina, new droids, or Jabba's palace, new death star personnel, an army of ewoks or alien rebel types etc. ESB is the most basic of the three as far as figure options. Leia still has more costumes than in ANH though heh.
 
Good point about Bespin Luke; he definitely does need an update. Far from the worst of the line, but can certainly benefit from some improvements. I wonder if they're ever going to release Dagobah Luke in a single card. Not one I need, since I have the awesome 2 pack, but for folks who skipped it (which they shouldn't have- it's a fantastic set). The Ugnaughts are another ESB figure I'd be down for, but after we get Lobot.

Somehow totally missed the shipping email for my SM-33, who should be here tomorrow from Amazon. Excited to have him; feels like a relatively fast turnaround, even though it's been about half a year. While I do think they've done all the totally necessary characters, I'd still love to see another figure or two from Skeleton Crew- at least Kh'ymm, who, after Skoova Stev and Turgle, actually feels like she's a possibility now, however slight.

While on the topic of Skeleton Crew, I did order Jod's lightsaber from an Etsy seller, and it really helps the figure pop a bit. The gold for the High Republic sabers is a really nice change of pace from the primarily silver normal ones. Really sturdy saber too; he fell over once or twice while trying to pose, and even though he fell saber-first, there's no damage, which is more than can be said for the majority of Hasbro's sabers.

Ah, yeah. Definitely would like the unmade Leia costumes from ESB. It really is a spare film in terms of cast, though, and I'm pretty content with what we have so far. Couple of small gaps. And if they add new heads to the rebel Hoth trooper I'd add to that collection.
 
Vincent? We happy?

Yeah, we happy.
