Star Wars Black Series

Apparently I ordered Dash from Amazon, and they say he’ll be here Tuesday.

The name on the credit card is Tyler Durden. When you sleep, he's busy ordering figures.

As maybe the biggest fan of the holiday figures, I LOVE this R2. Maybe my favorite holiday figure yet. And FINALLY we get a holiday Grogu, after I made a custom one last year

I found the new Cassian Andor and the Super Battle Droid at Ross today. Seems like a solid find.

God the holiday figures are so dumb and I love them. I keep saying I'll never buy more but keep doing it.

I have never bought a Holiday figure. But that R2 with Grogu might end the streak. I love Grogu. And he's in a little Christmas Santa outfit. Thats so adorable I almost started smashing my face into my God **** computer desk. Just face bludgeoning cuteness.

Here's the custom I made last year. Nothing crazy and I'm shocked that it took them this long to make a Grogu like that.

That's how I feel every year too. I kinda dig the Halloween ones, but the holiday ones are so cheesy, and yet I can't get enough. I may get that R2 set, if only to add another R2 unit to the mix. Take off the hat and beard and he'd make a decent generic- albeit flashy- astromech. The reindeer trooper is goofy too, but I love it. Can't tell if the antlers are plastic or like a fabric of some sort- I hope the former, just so they're not flimsy.

I may wait until they hit the inevitable sale, but I'm sure I'll be adding them to the collection. Maybe this is how we could see reuse of more unique, seemingly one-off sculpts like Turgle and Skoova Stev.

I’m glad I didn’t go down the Black Series holiday figures rabbit hole. They’re cute, but not for me. Most of the holiday stuff I have is based on holiday properties and IPs. I’ve never been crazy about random IPs getting shoehorned into holiday marketing.

I saw this before checking who posted it but I KNEW it was you heh.

I have four BS preorders for the rest of the year, and three of them are Sandrroopers heh.

YakFace reported the new wave with the single-carded Anakin, Obi Wan, Galle, Sandtrooper, and the Stranger, was spotted at a Fred Meyer in Washington state (man, I wish I still lived there- for multiple reasons). Saw some folks say that they're starting to get charged for Barriss too- I think on BBTS? Gird your loins and your wallets.

Fourth time this week someone's busted my balls about my action figure willpower!

I always think they're so silly but then I'll see one at target and be like... sure, why not. And it's usually because of lil pet repaint. That's what pushes me over the top.

Hey! I am not busting your balls in fact I came nowhere near them! I just know when I see these figures that you're going to be surprised that you want them.

I know, I'm just joking. Also feeling particularly silly because I got roughly NINE "your order is shipping soon" alerts from Pulse this week and I'm having an "I'm in DANGER, girl" moment.

I've only ever bought one of the Halloween ones, because I mistakenly thought the werewolf wookiee would work as a gray wookiee, but he's definitely not a normal wookiee. The holiday ones feel silly but my partner thinks they're adorable so it's an excuse to put out Star Wars stuff around the three each year. (Except the new kitten will DEFINITELY attack them, so they may not go out until he chills out.)

Welp...the rabbit hole has been jumped down. After selling off all Black Series figures I owned 2 years ago I am officially back in. Found Han and Chewie again at Walmart and yesterday was payday so...$52 gone in a snap!. Lol. These are such an amazing upgrade, except for Chewie's rubber bowcaster. Yeesh. Still he can hold it easily with BOTH hands now. We will see how deep I go this time but man I am weak!
