Jaxxon (speculation)

PoeGhostal · Dec 24, 2020

Jedi Insider posted a rumor that there may be a Fan Channel exclusive of Jaxxon: https://jediinsider.com/8-22762

If so, I have to believe it will largely be a reuse of an existing mold for a better-known character. So the question is, which figure is a good candidate for that? (It might be a figure that hasn’t been released yet.)

Oofa · Dec 24, 2020

No thanks.

I'd rather see them get on with the kit bash Transport Trooper. Since they love re-use so much, it should be a no-brainer

TK_171 · Dec 24, 2020

Easter release surely

Masterfett · Dec 24, 2020

That might be too tongue-in-cheek?

Yeah I'm not too interested in this one, probably would have bought it several years ago in TVC line but this late in the game I'm only after certain things.

jedimasterc · Dec 24, 2020

Could make a neat Bucky O Hare figure.

thenza · Dec 24, 2020

Why this garbage when there is no Starkilker, or Kyle Katarn, or Noghri, or any number of cool EU figures?

PoeGhostal · Dec 24, 2020

Just to add some positivity, I’m excited by this. I love this sort of deep-dive stuff. Two of my most-wanted figures at this point are Kyle Katarn and Beilert Valance.

Also to be clear, obviously this is still just a rumor at best.

EvenPiellFan · Dec 24, 2020

After all these years and it possibly comes in the 6" Line.

3.75" collectors are made to suffer. It's our lot in life.

DeWonnaWonga · Dec 24, 2020

I can think of so many figures I’d want ahead of this cartoon rabbit.

AmanaMatt · Dec 24, 2020

What was this guy from? A comic?

Dak_Ren · Dec 24, 2020

Have to see how he looks but I’m leaning toward my first pass on EU/Legends figs.

That's a deep cut, but thank you for that.

GreedoTwerp · Dec 25, 2020

Give me medical droids, aliens and E-web cannon.....not bunnies.

How 'bout an Alien bunny on an E web cannon

If it gets me that gun it could work

GarvenDreis · Dec 25, 2020

Is it April 1st?

But yeah if this happens this is the kinda goofy stuff I want to see over the holiday trooper repaints. Definitely have my doubts we'll actually see it come to pass however.

OxnardMontalvo · Dec 25, 2020

If this is true, I'm very excited. After the movies (of course) first run Marvel is MY Star Wars. It's what I grew up on when there were no videos or TV screenings. I read and re read those comics over and over.

Please let this be true!

Darth_Scourge · Dec 25, 2020

I would buy a Jaxxon figure.
And Valance the Hunter, Crimson Jack, Lumiya, Fenn Shysa, Rik Duel, etc, etc.

Caas_Sandhri · Dec 25, 2020

I just hope if Jaxxon comes, they'll model him after some attractive artist's depiction. There are so many vastly different drawings of him, most of which are incredibly ugly.

Well, Valance may still come as he's been "resurrected" for the new comics (Bounty Hunters et al.)
Lumiya and Fenn Shysa already exist.

Given the fact that the TVC is currently lean on even current aliens, I doubt that many old EU characters will make it without being re-introduced into canon first.

TK_171 · Dec 25, 2020

If legit then I hope they do it in a nice looking box with comic art similar to the Skywalker Strikes exclusive

Fate · Dec 25, 2020

I'd rather see this in the Vintage Collection line. But I'd maybe buy a 6" version.

adrian845 · Dec 25, 2020

I’ll buy any and all versions of Jaxxon they decide to do. Amaiza Foxtrain as well!

Dak_Ren · Dec 25, 2020

Oofa · Dec 25, 2020

IF this one sees the light of day, and I find that hard to believe so far, I hope they will make it for a subline, much like Gaming Greats.
And IF it happens, then I sure hope they will release Kiro, Rik Duel, Chihdo, Dani, Stenaxes, Lumiya/Shira, Fenn Shysa and Tobi Dala. But who am I kidding

it's not like they've "flooded" the Gaming Greats subline with characters.

Codeman1432 · Dec 25, 2020

GreedoTwerp · Dec 25, 2020

I'd be into the steam punk blaster top photo, very cool with it's water trap blue liquid ammo.

Real_Scooby · Dec 25, 2020

Now THIS is a character I really don't need nor want in my collection. Never liked him in the old Marvel comics.
To me this is just a sign of no imagination for alien characters they had way back then.
I can, and always will accept pigs being used as gladiators/guards, or insectlike species.
But a bright green bunny, in a bright red 60s-styled spacesuit is way off my charts.
To me, this kind of alien belongs to Marvel-verse, together with Howard or the Guardians of the Galaxy.

TBS rumored ? Move along, nothing to see here.

Perfect description!

Although, should we be afraid then, when it seems they are moving toward an MCU-style of shows?

(I want that Jedi Temple Guard! Come on Hasbro, you made the helmet already)

Well, I have no problem with a MCU-styled way to go. I even love the concept of interlinking shows to play out in a IW/EG like big event.
Its just the design of the space-rabbit that makes me throw up. If the TBS rumor of this come true, at least I have one free spot on my shelfes to fill up with something else

Masterfett · Dec 26, 2020

IKR? it's almost like having a Camel looking character walking on two legs.

I get you though, this one just doesn't appeal.

Temple Guard please, I’ll take two Hasbro!

Billy_Ray · Dec 26, 2020

I will lose my mind if this is true! I know, I know, it's a silly character but...if you were 10 years old when Star Wars (not A New Hope then) came out and the old Marvel Comics were your "continuing adventures", then you get it.

Montross · Dec 27, 2020

I am all in for Jaxxon!

Yes please!

Cadet · Dec 28, 2020

I'm all in on a Jaxxon. Both because he always reminds me of Captain Bucky O'Hare and it would just be really amusing to me to have a figure of one of the few things in Star Wars that George Lucas actively disliked and demanded that it no longer be used.

THX1969 · Dec 28, 2020

If this figure gets made before Hammerhead, Walrusman or Snaggletooth, I'm gonna be kind of pissed off.

Nipshank · Dec 28, 2020

Honestly if this gets made I could see it being one of those future super valuable figures. IDK why but I could.
I'd prob pick it up just cause.

TVC15 · Dec 28, 2020

The first 16 issues of Marvel's original Star Wars comic book series were huge for me as a kid (remember those polybagged three-packs of Marvel comics?). So I might be down for Jaxxon, Hedji, and really any of the Aduba-3 gang -- especially if they did something cool with the packaging. And I'd be down for Crimson Jack and Jolli as well!

I wonder how they would package such figures in the mainline. Would "Star Wars: Comics" get its own color band?

PoeGhostal · Dec 28, 2020

“Comics” might make sense...yeah, not sure.
