Star Wars Black Series

Random pickups today—got the new Boba and found the recent ANH Vader for 8 bucks. Tem’s face sculpt is remarkable on the new figure! My only complaint is I had a hell of a time getting his rifle in his hand.

Actually Vader also seems to have hands too narrow to hold his own gear. I’ve never had this problem with black series before!

I haven't had any problems getting figures into saber poses with the new wrists. The old ones were harder. Alot of my Jedi just one handed it. Not to say the old ones couldn't, but it was alot more difficult. Every figure that has come with the new wrists for me so far, very easy. It could also be a mixture of those and the new clothes. But I feel like, without the ability to move like these new wrists do, the hands would eventually still just pop apart after a bit.

I also don't think there's any way some of these Jedi could hold the saber 2 handed anyway, like Plo Koon, just because of his hands. But I could be wrong. I just don't wanna risk it. Feel like the saber will break.

I don't have that many figures with the new wrists and I think the only saber guy I have for that is Luke. But the reality is that the two-handed poses on ANY of the figures I own have more to do with ROM in the shoulders and elbows than in the wrists. If they can't bring their arms forward across their chest at all, then it's not happening no matter how good or bad the wrists are.

But even just messing with Han. How many degrees of movement up and down does his shitty ball-jointed wrist actually get? It sucks. If I put a saber in his hand, there's NO way he's pointing it forward/upward in that kind of 'He-Man pose.' No way. Luke can't really do it either, but even if the wrist CAN, the sleeve doesn't allow it. Whole different problem with Jedi-type figures.
 
Fives is up at Pulse for $35. If you have that free shipping thing you can just get him for that. I do not. So I ordered 2 of the Spiderman figures they had in stock to get free shipping, and cancelled them at BBTS. I don't like canceling at BBTS, but I need 5s. He was one I have been looking for a good price on for a while. And this is as good as I see it getting. Hopefully there are no issues though cause Hasbro Pulse is less then awesome when it comes to replacing things.

Taking a look at my new Fett, shouldn't the helmet match the armor in green? It's two diff greens here.

Also the helmet doesn't look the correct shape for this version.

This is the BOBF figure right?

For that one, yeah I believe the helmet and armor should be the same green. OT, that was not the case. They even had one shoulder armor piece a brighter yellow, playing on the idea he'd scavenged the armor from different sets. With Mandalorian and BOBF, he's painted it again but STILL not the same shade. The armor is kinda kinda a darker mossy green and the helmet is lighter. The jetpack, I believe, is yet another green, heh.
