Preorders open tomorrow (Dec. 11) at 1pm ET for Pulse Premium members and for everyone else at 2pm ET. Both sets will be available through DisneyStore at a later date.

Who’s excited about getting these figures?
 
Even though I think the Zahn Trilogy is (mostly) trash, I'm down for this.

So glad I never actually bought a Thrawn figure yet (was waffling between the Ahsoka version and the animated version.) Now we get the "I'm totally not compensating with my oversized epaulets!" version! Hooray!
 
Nice set. I don't need Thrawn again. Too bad it's Pulse/Disney exclusive. Not sure if I'm going to get it right away or just hope another retailer gets it sometime down the line.
 
Definitely getting this set. Easily one of my favorite TVC 2.0 sets of all time.

It’s cool to be getting Thrawn with the epaulets. One of the more iconic images I have of the character. This also might be the best looking Ysalamir we’ve gotten in 3.75.

Pellaeon is a great addition and long overdue. Him, C’Baoth, Rukh, and I guess Luuke were some of the bigger omissions from the Thrawn Trilogy figures we’ve gotten over the years (We were so close to getting a Noghiri). This figure looks like it’ll be able to perform double duty as a Mando one, so that’s cool.

Joruus is easily the highlight of the set. I would’ve never imagined Hasbro doing him in TVC, but here we are! The figure looks great and I’ll be happy to add him into my collection.

Kudos to Hasbro for making a cost effective set as well. The price is fine and great reuse of the Imperial Officer mold.
 
When I saw the initial images, I thought it was a concept that's often done on IG, seeing it was for real had me nearly falling off my chair, so unexpected and I can't believe we are getting a C'Baoth in 3.75"! Xisor, Guri and Dash Rendar next please Hasbro!

Plenty of reused parts and terrible forearm articulation for C'baoth (Reuse from old Dagobah Luke?). THis might explain the relatively low price of this set.
 
I'm torn on this set. I only want Pellaeon for Mando as the EU stuff in figure form doesn't interest me. But I don't $50+tax want him, and I wonder if he'll get rereleased on a Mando or even Mando & Grogu card later on.

I am VERY hopeful that this means more EU stuff is on the way!
 
Definitely down for two day one! One carded one loose, but I will also buy more in the future just for parts if they open it up to more orders per person. Since I'm not into C'Baoth I may trade him off or try to use for customs. I won't know until I see a review and whether he has bare legs or how the torso is sculpted.

Deep down I felt Hasbro would cover this look being it's so simple to do, albeit probably as a niche Exclusive but I never expected it this soon.

I would so much love it if we were to get Rukh! I'd even be fine if they pulled that canceled Noghri out of mothballs and out that into a multipack.

Absolutely, kudos!

I mention it in the main thread, but I wonder if the torso is shared between the Stanger? Due to how they tool plastic clothing overlays these days, like Maul, surely there reuse to be had for several things. Actually, now that I think about it, this inner torso could be Mauls. Just with differently sculpted painted robes.

Doesn’t look like Maul’s (TCW) torso. You can see some fleshy parts on the side for Joruus, which doesn’t match up with Maul.
 
This is such a dream item for me. I know it's definitely not for everybody, and I'm sorry to those people. I know what a bummer it is for things to show up from a part of the franchise that doesn't interest you or that you dislike, but I'd love it if we get a trickle of some of these old EU characters. I'll buy multiples just to help support it. Definitely want a Mara like the sixers have. And Rukh! He's a rebels villain and a book villain - come on!
 
Wonderful to see an honest-to-goodness EU release for TVC. It's just a shame that the Thrawn figure has those dumb collar studs from his Rebels redesign.
 
Looks like a pretty good set. But this should have been a 5 pack containing Luuke and a new Mara Jade. So I dont care for it as much.
 
[Lovemaking] YES.

Classic recipe Thrawn? Those epaulets seem huge, but I've grown accustomed to his new look, so sure.
Captain Pellaeon? Absolutely, bring him on.
Alan Moore? Not sure what the guy who wrote Watchmen is doing here, but I'll take one!
I kinda wish it wasn't a Pulse exclusive, but what am I going to do about that?

Personally, I think they should keep away from huge multipacks especially if carded. Four is already pushing it in terms of packaging size and price, just look at the Ahsoka set. By offering two 3-pk I think it offers someone to fit better into their budgets as well as possibly passing on one set if they don't like the offering, I already get fatigued by Transformer 5-pk that only have one figure that I want, so i don't want to see Star Wars go back to that formula.

Yes, would be nice to get Luke and Mara. Maybe they could do a Luke, Mara, Talon Karrde 3-pack next. :)

Based on what TBS got, and the fact TVC will soon have all the parts needed. I think it's far more likely we get Luuke, Luke variant and possibly Mara Jade. Being that C'Baoth is all new (per Emily) which is a surprise to me they chose that character to waste all new tooling on, surely it propels someone like Mara who's been a longtime requested figure. Plus, there's built in reuse for other character with her. Still seems like a longshot though.

TBH, Karrde is an easy one to do, just retool the Legacy figure with new legs and a better/softer jacket. I really don't need an all-new figure of him. So that would be a similar pack as this one in terms of cost.
 
I love it - but I don't love the exclusivity. Not having it available on Amazon kinda kills it for me. Hopefully Disney Shop has one of those weird sales that sometimes pop up with that could take the sting out of shipping.

That being said this is an awesome set.

One thing that I really like about this set is that it represents a time in Star Wars history where we were frothing for anything new Star Wars.

We are currently in an era of turmoil, churn and an onslaught of mediocre media (that at this point we really don't need OR want) and this set reminds me of a much simpler and romantic time.

Honestly Star Wars needs an enema...
 
These look great and I can’t wait to order a couple of sets.

That Captain Pellaeon head sculpt is really impressive and his officer’s cap looks much better proportioned. It almost looks like it might be non-removable too. Does anyone think that might be the case and could it indicate a move away (somewhat) from that oversized removable Imp hat they’ve been putting out recently?
 
Can't get over how good that Pellaeon headsculpt is in the pics. For a 3.75 figure that looks insanely good! Those cardbacks are great too

Emily says Pelleon's hat is glued on, which is a bummer i prefer removable hats to complete a hatless headsculpt. And i just know Filoni is going to have Palleon get his hat knocked off in Ahsoka S2 just to stick it to the action figure. lol
