Given it's essentially a repaint, probably Gaming Greats, that's usually how those roll. I'm happy to see it, another addition to my infiltrator squad.I’m wondering if this one will be part of the Gaming Greats subline or the mainline? I’d prefer it to not take a mainline spot, and I was kind of bummed over the lack of single carded GG figures this year.
I think it's just frustrating that we constantly get this type of thing though, the absolute laziest thing, when I would much rather get Merrin or an updated Malak, or some other "unique" character versus a main character head swap. Especially when they could be doing something like Atris which is basically the same formula as Cal, with just a new head on Jocasta Nu. It's so damn easy that it's frustrating...
Yeah but you're forgetting how popular Cal is and how gamers are more likely to pick this up as a casual buy. I'll bet they'll sell double of this Cal than Jerjerrod.I get it, but as many have pointed out there are other alternatives when it comes to relevant Imperials. Such as about a dozen in Andor, and about half that in OWK. Doing one for a VG character does seem very bizarre and this is coming from someone that likes VG figures! lol
Frankly, this should be a part of a 2-pk Fan channel that comes with an Astromech repaint, that we see in the game. The inclusion of a Droid might have also made the release a little more exciting.
Maybe for 6" figure as a casual Display, as that seems to be what most gamers collect if anything. I don't see a lot of them into TVC all that much.
We need both Inquisitor ladies, the 9th sister got to be in both games and the comics.I wouldve thought Cal as Cal Festus Imperial Inquisitor wouldve made it before Cal in Imp disguise,lol. Both games are missing so many characters sadly.
IDK about McQuarrie, that grin doesn't strike me as very imperial.
I could say all of them might work?????......and at the same time?????? really??????.......none of them have the right likeness. Rahm Kota is the only one I really wouldn't fool with trying to make into Lagret. For one thing, Rahm is a fairly expensive source for fodder...and two....I don't think any amount of modding (at least with my skillset) would result in a passable Lagret. The others have possibilities, interesting even if they're fails for Lagret. I mean, I used a Ric Olie for a custom Debnoli for my cantina^ That pay be a contender
Here are a few more possibilities for "older" head sculpts that are fairly obscure and could work for a few Imperials. But yeah not too many.

My top goal is Yularen and the two Officers that are seen in the hallway in ANH. After that...
It sounds like you guys are planning to do a bit more customizing than simple head-swaps, like trimming away or adding blocks to the rank badges? Admittedly I have already been eyeing the Mandalorian Fleet Commander as a possible head-swap for Blevin in case Hasbro never gets around to making him, but in the event that customizing does turn out to be the only way to get Blevin, my hope is that Hasbro will at least make one Officer with a 1x3 rank badge to minimize the effort needed for the custom.I’m looking forward to this figure, but especially for the additional ISB officers I want to make from it. It can also be easily dyed to make the attendants from Andor as well.

Yeah, unfortunately there's not a very large supply of options for balding, over-the-hill, 3.75" human head-sculpts out there, lol. I guess anyone who does endeavor to make a custom Lagret with nothing more than an easy head swap will have to tolerate compromises in terms of matching the actor's likeness.I could say all of them might work?????......and at the same time?????? really??????
Which ones, out of curiosity?I feel this new rank has far more potential for some OT Officers we've waited too long for.
I actually had to do that for Admiral Rae Sloane.It sounds like you guys are planning to do a bit more customizing than simple head-swaps, like trimming away or adding blocks to the rank badges?

Daine Jir who confers with Vader in ANH opening scenes for starters, Pol Triedum from DS Hanger control as well as Shann Childsen from the Detention Block.Which ones, out of curiosity?
