Star Wars Black Series

The last Rey or two were actually pretty decent (though I bet they could work wonders with the new soft goods/softer rubber overlays the current crop of Black Series is using lately). The boys really feel like they never got a good representation.

Did Keri Russell ever take her helmet off in TRoS?

I remember her opening the visor part to show her eyes? I'm not even gonna google search to find out.

You're correct - her eyes are all we saw.

I was just looking at that OG Rey and she would be really nice with the updated plastic clothing "layers" Hasbro is doing on Anakin/Obi.

Plus, I still need another BB-8. Crazy that ball only got released once in three movies!!
 
I like the idea of a general sequel wave instead of focusing on one movie, and the looks Schizm mentioned are the ones I'd go for. I've been wanting a Crait Luke and TLJ Leia for ages. For a TFA anniversary wave, they'd have to choose whether to do Poe in the X-Wing flight suit or his rebel base look, and honestly, neither is that exciting to me, given that we've gotten similar figures since. I'd rather them invest in the TROS looks, since at least they stand out. As much as I don't care for the movie, the costumes were pretty cool.

Pulling a Qimir for Ben is a great idea. I also agree that, for as heavily as they pushed BB-8, it's hard to believe we only ever got 1 release for him. Make a new mold, and then repaint it for a BB-9E
 
I liked Poe's look in RotS the best. He had Indiana Jones vibes. Oscar Isaac is my strongest man crush* so any version will do if he has a printed likeness. I may not even be asking if they had released one with MCU Moon Knight.

(*The look he was giving Zori Bliss at the end of RotS was what really did it for me)
 
Poe Dameron is legitimately one of my top favorite Star Wars characters, EVER. I will buy any updated figure they want to throw at me.
Also I love the first two sequels (RoS is what it is, can’t do anything about that unfortunately) so I actively want updates/more characters, especially from The Last Jedi.

I came here specifically to say I want his Indiana Jones outfit. I was really hoping we'd get one last TROS figure and that would be it. It's all I really want from the prequels. Poe would wander through so many displays in my setup if he had that look and a moderately good head print.

I have all kinds of meh vibes about the prequels but I would absolutely buy Krait Luke and one more Carrie.
 
I'd definitely buy Poe and Finn from Rise of Skywalker. I didn't even like that movie....my least favorite SW movie to date, but I liked their looks in that film the best. I only have one shelf dedicated to the sequels in my collection, and I don't have a Poe at all (his figures were just UGLY, and looked nothing like him). I'd love to replace the Finn I have on that shelf, as it looks way more like Tracey Morgan than it does John Boyega.
 
Yeah, John got hosed on likenesses, too, though I think Oscar got mangled the worst of the cast. Even the last one wasn't even passable, just not good.

Hey, just got the Stranger from Pulse! Speaking of REALLY GOOD LIKENESSES. Joining my shelf of Force wielders throughout the ages.
 
Anyone here ever add wire to the Black Series Jedi robes? There are tons of Yords at my local Ross for $5, which isn't bad for robe + custom fodder. I picked up one for now, and I'd like to clean it up. Seems like adding wire wouldn't be impossible, but we'll see.
 
I've no sequel trilogy figures, but I'm sure ready to get some. Like I said over in the movies thread, I'm less a fan of the films than I am of the characters, but I'm a really big fan of the characters.

My movie fig target is typically in the area between movies 2 and 3 because that's when the characters are at their most iconic, settled forms (Clone War Kenobi, black-suit Luke, Boba Fett existing, etc.), but for the sequels I'd definitely want their Force Awakens looks. That way I can immortalize them in the forms they had before they started going off the rails. Pilot Poe, scavenger Rey, helmeted Kylo, Zori Bliss not existing, etc.
 
Conversely, I spotted a solid case at least of Stormtroopers in Mandalorian mural packaging, marked 29.99. I'm glad I picked up Jedha Stormtroopers on clearance at Target. Took off the pauldron and backpack and will use them as regular Stormtroopers. I don't think I paid more than $13 for each of them.
 
I'd love a new Rey from any of the movies that would be equivalent to the new Anakin or Han. In an ideal world we get the core new heroes, Kilo, and a FO Trooper

But if we get a minimal cautious effort, a new Rey would be it for me. They've improved so much in all categories, and I think Island Ray and the Rise Rey were so close. They would be phenomenal with what they can do now.
 
I still have Jedi Rey from the end of Last Jedi, Kylo from TFO, and BB-8. I will be shocked if they sway me into getting any ST figures beyond that.
