While I normally would have passed on this character, I can use parts for a custom I've been wanting to do for years.

Wonder if they'll ever make a 'injured' version sometime down the line.
They already did, it's called the Falcon. :grin:
yes please... I really want an L3 figure.

I'll call that 'resuscitated' version in that case.
Anyways, it's more the 'split' version I'm going for...maybe include a small core processor accessory.

Hasbro says its lead time is a year and a half (normally) to a year (insane rare scramble). With Lord & Miller having been dumped during the earlier stages of work on the Solo line, they probably punted the later waves down the road to a) guard against the possibility of a delayed movie releasing in Dec, and b) guard against the effects of any character design or scene changes as much as possible.
The split line is odd, but not necessarily irrational if you see it as a hedge against uncertain film development schedules. Keep the earlier waves on original schedule, avoiding too much of a scramble for alternatives and making sure you have at least *some* product out there to support the then-currently planned release, while also lowering risk in other ways by timing the rest with a safer bet. It’s an odd-sounding, risk-averse way to go about it, but it would also have been pretty bad if Hasbro has ended up putting out all four waves prior to the film’s release...
Got her today. Very nice for a 6POA figure.
Head and neck have ball joints. Arms and Legs make up the normal 4 POA. The dangling wires may impede sitting a bit but they are softer plastic.

I'm pretty sure a ball joint counts as 2 POA like a ball hinge. The 2 points being front-back and side-side.
I hope my next hunt I find one of her and Rio. She's got a great design even if I don't like her character. :{J
Ball joint = 360 degree POA? She can do that neck thing from the trailer.

lol They probably just count it as one in that a ball hinge is a hinge and a swivel. The ball joint is just one point. I count it as two because a ball hinge is two. :{3
Has anyone made a custom of her after being shot and torn apart? I want to so bad. Have some wires sticking out. Would have been a cool feature included in the figure.
I fully intend to tear this figure apart for a custom, but not one of her. lol
So what the heck is L3 37 made out of anyway? It looks like she/it is created from a bunch of astromech legs

And her torso and head are also based on an Astromech's body and dome. According to Wookieepedia, she's not an assembly-line model, but she has rebuilt herself into her current body. I like to think she started out as an immobile navigating computer and built herself a bipedal body over the course of several years because she yearned of freedom.
Lobot had that thing attached to his head long before Lando showed up on Bespin.
id REALL REALLY rather not imagine that.
i like the idea of her brain being in the falcon since threepio says"sir i dont know where your ship learned to communicate but it has the most peculiar dialect" i always wondered why the falcon would have a mind
to communicate with.
i kind of like the irony of (and i love her character so im not going to bash her) all her whining about freedom and equal rights only to be come immobile and enslaved as part of the falcon
Got this one today from BBTS. I don’t think that this one will get the Vintage Collection or Black Series treatment so I am glad that I got it.

She has a TBS figure (not that I collect those), but ya - little chance of a TVC release. This basic version has really grown on me - at first I wasnt a fan of the popsicle legs, but I appreciate it much more now that the basic line is gone - we had it good for Solo.
I meant 3.75” BS and not 6”. I don’t collect the 6” line either.
The problem is that this character wouldn't fit SA very well, due to the design. So the 5PoA figure is fine.
