The Force Awakens Toys - General Discussion Thread

[jedimasterc]

Aside from Leia in re resistance uniform(I wanted her in that outfit so bad) I would like to see the one Major that was talking during the briefing as well the other officer who orchestrates the attack on Star Killer base(I don't have the names of the top of my head).

 

[Falcon_Gunner]

General Leia so has to be made now.

Can't believe those dumb ar5es Hasbro still haven't made her. :whistling:

She should have been a wave 2 or 3 figure IMO.

 

[Jeremiah2849]

Hasbrotoyshop is having a huge sale on TFA figures, 50% off. $3.99 for basic figures, and I think $6-something for the armor-up stuff. And it's free shipping on any order over $49.

I picked up quite a few troop builders (snow troopers, flame troopers, and storm troopers) plus some little doodoo figures to put me over the limit (Guavian enforcer, Zuuvio, etc...)

If you're looking to troop build or pick up a few odds and ends, check it out!

Wasn't there a rumour that the General Leia figure had been made but due to a last minute change ( Leia was originally rocking a pony tail and JJ decided against the look so it was CG'd out) the figure was scrapped rather than revised?

Huh, I never heard of it. Though it's weird Hasbro would scrap the figure, they love to release inaccurate stuff don't they?

JJ Abrams: Hey guys, Constable Zuvio actually ended up being cut from the final film.
Hasbro: Oh really? Well, we'll just ship all these out before the movie is released, people will buy them and once they realize it'll be too late. Quick, ship out all those 6" Zuvios too!

 

[Masterfett]

I think some of it has to do with the "guy" in charge of approving what figures get made, from the available concept art or character lineup. He/she must have taken a liking to Zuvio. Because no matter how you slice it, he did nothing int the movie or deleted scenes worth getting a figure. While "others" did not! if you're going to make a figure of an obscure backgrounder, I saw 5 I would have preferred over Zuvio.

 

[Sith_Dreamer]

I mean, Zuvio kind of had that Embo look going on, so he could've been cool, but then he didn't even make it into the film (or like 2 seconds blink and you miss it). That internet skit about the new Holiday special featuring him didn't help him though.

 

[Jeremiah2849]

When all is said and done, not a bad lineup.

I like the way you displayed those figures using the vintage trays. I might try that a little later.

Phasma joins Hux for the inspection

 

[GNT]

Very nice set up.

 

[ThallJoben]

Great pics.! I'm getting a very POTF2, '90's vibe from that picture. The fact that the regular TFA figures are 5 POA has a lot to do with that, of course.

 

[Machew_Man]

Among many many other things, a luggabeast with a teedo is probably on the top of my list. Still can't believe we didn't get that.

 

[darth_sidious]

Beasts are sorely missed from the line, and Hasbro hinted that we might see some, but nothing yet. They really should have done a beast / rider set in the basic vehicle lineup, it would have added a fun element for kids and collectors.

My hope is we get a beast for new hope 40th anni (dewback again prob), luggabeast, and something from last jedi if there are any (no spoilers pls)

 

[Machew_Man]

Definitely check your kohls for figures! Picked up all the stragglers I'd waited on for about 2 bucks each! Got armor up Poe (took the helmet off the shoulder junk), Pz, and resistance guy!

 

[War_in_The_floor]

Good Intel thanks!

 

[jedimasterc]

Start checking your 5 below stores.Found the last 2 waves of the TFA figures at ours in Huntsville just a little while ago.

How true. They could've p6ut them in the asst that had ywing/kanan in the r1 instead of the repacks. Heck, if a zero the hutt was truly tooled up, he coyldve been put in that asst w/ r2- c2 and the ****- poor ee version could've been a different r2.

 

[jedimasterc]

Here is what my 5 Below looked like on Monday.

 

[bonoferox]

My Five Below had two full pegs with two each of Unmasked Kylo, Resistance Rey, Han, Nien and the trooper Squad Leader (with a few tie pilots and Xwing Poe in the mix)

 

[Nicklab]

The TFA clearances aren't limited to 5 Below stores. I spotted TFA 3.75" basic figures on clearance at Tuesday Morning. And they had late wave figures like unmasked Kylo Ren and Resistance Rey, as well as more common figures like Finn and the FO TIE Pilot. And they're $4.99 each.

 

[jediblood]

My 5 Below does not have any SW figures yet.

 

[hansloroll]

More likely that they sold through. When I went in weeks ago I found the Kylo unmasked wave Haask thugs and a few others. When I went in this past week there was a Finn jakku.

 

[SaberSonic83]

Just got the awesome JAKKS BB-8 with electronics as a surprise today from the lady friend. I gotta say, aside from being impressed she can appreciate this holiday as much as I do, the electronics are pretty darn amazing! The sounds and lights are sincerely accurate. I couldn't believe just how many LEDs this thing actually has and the spring out "thumbs up" lighter is cheesy, but a cool addition. I'm going to keep him standing vigil by my toy room. Happy May the 4th to all....

Nah, they just haven't gotten them yet. I've been checking since they were first spotted at 5B.

 

[sfx_5k]

I just stopped by a brand new FiveBelow near my office (Williamsville, NY). They were having their Grand Opening today. Star Wars figures and toys = nada, zero, zip.

 

[Sith_Dreamer]

You know, we've had Darth Maul that can be cut in half, various Luke's and Vader's with removable hands. Anyone kind of want a Han we could stick a lightsaber through? Like, Han's death is probably my least favorite part, while simultaneously being the part with my favorite cinematography of the whole film.

 

[Utinniii]

Sheath action Solo would be great.

 

[meshadowfax]

TRU just put out a fresh case of TFA, only it was wave 2.

 

[Masterfett]

Sheath action Solo would be great.

Do I even want to know what sheath action is? I'm also not sure it would work as a toy, parents would be outraged. :disgusted:

 

[Utinniii]

It would be an easy custom. Insert drill bit at an angle. Making his face look shocked would be harder though.

 

[darth_sidious]

A figure prototype existed like that once for Shaak Ti:

http://www.galactichunter.com/photo.asp?image=absolutenm/articlefiles/3929-shaakti.jpg

She originally had a scene being stabbed by Anakin and another being stabbed by Grievous. Luckily they ditched that concept on the final version of the figure, considering neither scene was used.

 

[Masterfett]

Still makes you wonder what her final status was, since she was saved. I don't recall ever hearing what happened to her during Order 66.

 

[War_in_The_floor]

dont know about cannon status but isn't she in a sequence in the Star killer game? They made a legacy figure of her in a werird bikini and I Think they even made a full on Rancor exclusive from that game.

 

[Utinniii]

Dollarama has the first wave of armor up figures for $4. (I only saw Chewie and Poe though).

Thanks!
I picked up a bunch of Flametroopers yesterday.
It is definitely Wave 1 from 2016 there were FN-2187's and Tie pilots as well.

 

[Utinniii]

I'm glad you got some!
In other stores I saw Ren and everyone else from that wave (except Fett).

 

[War_in_The_floor]

Hey guys! I'm New here. Just bought Finn (FN2187) Black Series off Ebay the other day. Want to complete my Black Series collection a little more before September 1st(Force Friday)!

Has anyone seen Tasu Leech at retail lately he's going for $19 on amazon and similar on eBay. Would love to find him at a more normal price

I've NEVER seen him in any retail store. That whole wave was a bust for me, sadly.
