Star Wars Black Series

Holy ass hats Batman! Changing your e-mail at Hasbro Pulse is the dumbest, most unnecessary, difficult bunch of run around bullshit I have ever encountered. You'd think you could just edit it. But no, that would be too convenient. You contact them, they have you make a new account with the new e-mail, then promise you within 48 hours they will transfer your order history and Pulse Premium membership from your original account over to your new account.

Why. Why couldn't I just hit edit and change it? All this technology, and AI, and gizmos and bleep blorps, and I have to do all this just to change my e-mail at a toy store?
 
We have never accused Hasbropulse of being smart. Alot of their systems and functions are not streamlined at all.

I got an e-mail from Pulse saying Jango Fett would ship soon. That just leaves Ventress. Of course, the one I want most is last. But I'm excited about this Jango Fett. I may actually get a second one even. I love Prequel figures, and I love Jango Fett. I have such a nostalgic love for him since he was one of the AOTC preview figures. My imagination ran wild with what his character could be like.
 
I forget where it was posted in this thread, but a youtuber reviewed the latest Sandtrooper figure and had some complaints, one of which was the packaging showing an ammo pouch on each hip, but his figure was missing one. I originally got three Sandtroopers, all of whom had both hip pouches, but I just got a fourth over the holidays and he also had both pouches, so that youtuber got the shaft!

Now I just need three more to have my Docking Bay 94 squad....
 
I got shipping soon for Ventress and Jango today. Ventress really is the one I'm looking most forward to though.

Black Series is officially the winner for "last figure of the year." I got Duel's End Vader this morning in the mail. I somehow started the year with ONE classic Vader (II have the McQuarrie fan art one, the "redeemed" white armor one, and I caved and finally unboxed the red Revenge of the Sith version I'd been ignoring for years) but two of my final figures of the year were Duel's End and I found the updated ANH one for eight bucks at Target and wanted to see if he was an upgrade from the one I had already at that price.

I suddenly don't know which one to have out. I will say the smashed mask on Duels' End is SO well done. It's a very cool variant.

Unrelated: I picked up some dirt cheap Galaxy Squadron ships with an Amazon gift card, and random thought: I wish there was a chance in hell they'd make a made-to-order Bespin cloud car with two pilots. For some reason that one ship was always a favorite as a kid and I've now got a Galaxy Squadron one that fits in the palm of my hand and I would 1,000% buy and display a 1/12 version of it, as silly as that is.
 
2026 is upon us. I hope we continue to get Prequel figures this year, as I am sure next year will be a lot of Original Trilogy figures (which is awesome) being it's the 50th Anniversary. But I want to continue the Prequel and Expanded Universe momentum this year. We know there will at least be 3 Episode I, 2 Episode II, and 2 Episode III figures this year. 1 of the Episode I figures is Watto. But hopefully there are more Prequel characters than just those.

Figures confirmed or very likely due to rumors for 2026 are

Watto
The Eleventh Brother
Lord Starkiller
Mando and Grogu set
Carson Teva
Zeb (from Mando and Grogu)
Sigourney Weaver's character from Mando and Grogu
Embo
Rotta the Hutt
SCAR Squadron 2 Pack
Plo Koon (Clone Wars) and Commander Wolffe 2 Pack
Empire Strikes Back Boba Fett
(EDIT: Also, Agent Callus and Blind Kanan Jarrus are rumored for 2026)

Then we should see more figures from Mando and Gu, Ahsoka Season 2, and Maul Shadow Lord as well. Hopefully 2026 is as good as 2025, because I thought 2025 was a great year for Black Series.

Anything certain any of you are hoping for or wanting?

I really like the list so far for 2026. There aren't a ton of characters I'm super set on getting, but another of Leia's looks from the OT or Padme's from the PT would be delightful. I'm always hopeful for more characters from KOTOR / KOTOR 2 (I assume we'll never finish those crews, but I'd love it if we did). I'll always happily take more Jedi councilors from the PT.

I'm always hoping we'll get an Agent Kallus (preferably post-leaving the Empire) some day from Rebels.

I know it's SUPER unlikely, but Kleya, Melshi, Kino Loy, and Syril form Andor are wishlist characters, too.
 
I just hope they fix some of the problems with the Boba Fett mold, cause I think they're gonna use the RotJ deluxe that came out and was a complete disappointment as a base and maybe change some belts and colors. I don't remember them reusing that yet (besides the repack) and an ESB Boba is a good place for that.

Looking forward to Carson Teva.

I figured he was a fan favorite and would've been fast tracked, but maybe it's just me.
 
That's a pretty good list, if true. Excited to finally get Carson Teva, and Embo will be a welcome addition to the bounty hunter display (but where's our freakin' Zam Wessell?!). I think the only one I (probably) wouldn't pick up is ESB Boba. Just not sure if I need another Boba (sorry Ru, but that just means more for you!)

Where did Watto and Ziro come in? Watto and Nute feel like characters that Hasbro may not ever touch, just due to the weird, questionably racist undertones, but I guess they did do Jar Jar, who has them as well. Ziro would be an unexpected addition, but maybe my collection is missing a giant gay slug (it's how I see myself, after all). Or did we mean Rotta, since he's coming back in M&G?

ZAM WESSELL! Almost as glaring a hole in the line as Lobot.
