Star Wars Black - 6'' Action Figure Range

Sure does. I hope they make the AT AT driver. That was my favorite trooper style.

I wish Darth Maul had a snarling mouth instead of looking so placid.

Wonder if that's going to get expensive.

SDCC exclusive Boba Fett with ridiculously inflated price

It looks perfect. Shame it's SDCC exclusive. I definitely won't ever get my hands on a SW exclusive, what with being in the UK. We never get your guys' exclusives.

Hasbro usually puts theirs up on their website, hasbrotoyshop.com, for a limited time too. Can you order from there?

Oh, I didn't know that. I might be able to then. I'll check that out. Thank you.

The only issue is that they put them up at a random time, so they can be hard to catch! I do think $45 seems a bit much for the set, but I'll try to get it.

Is there an official website for these figures?

Got my Black figures in! I have to give it to Hasbro... these are just plain beautiful figures all around. Lots of great, useful articulation. Amazing amount of paints and graphics. Tons of thoughtful accessories. If I have any complaints - the paint on my R2 really could be better. It's a bit fuzzy in places and the silver is a little messed up on the side of his dome. So I'll probably be seeking a replacement in person at some point. I also wish they had stands as the Sandtrooper is a bit top-heavy with his backpack. But that's it. They are seriously amazing in every other way. I really hope they keep up this level of care and quality with future waves.

WOW, those are fantastic!

As cool as they are, I am hesitant to switch scales. I have close to 200 of the smaller figures, and just don't want to start over again.

I know. It is Doctor Who in reverse!

Wow...thanks for the pics jonwes...I want a couple of those!!

Glad you all like them! If I were a SW collector I would hesitate, I guess. But I never got into the smaller figures.

Oh my... These are BEAUTIFUL! I really can't wait to get my hands on these! I'm also really excited for the wave 2 figures - I'm very much looking forward to Han Solo.

Oh wow - I just Googled wave 2 and they are a must have! Han looks cool - I hope they release a Bespin Han eventually, as that is my favorite outfit of his!

Yeah, Han and Chewie would likely be the only ones I'd get.

Here are the pics to save people the search:











And whilst searching for those pictures, I stumbled across wave 3 which I hadn't seen before! Luke is a MUST HAVE!

Agreed! I'd love a Bespin Han!

Aww man - thanks for the pics Scary...Bespin Luke (Welllll...all things from The Empire Strikes Back) is a must have for me!  I really wish I could have gotten the SDCC exclusive Boba Fett w/ Han in Carbonite...

Carbo Han is apparently going to be released with something called Boushh...

did anyone here get the SDCC Fett? Apparently it sold out in 6 minutes on the Hasbro site.

Nope. I tried, but it was gone so quickly. I would be surprised if it was even 6 minutes. I'll be fine with the regular release since it's the same. I do hope Han in Carbonite shows up elsewhere.

I am definitely getting all of Wave 2 (already pre-ordered, actually) but still deciding on Wave 3. I'll be getting the Stormtrooper for sure. Not sure I love Bespin Luke. Obi-Wan is one of the prequel characters I'd actually be interested in getting. If the fourth figure in the wave ends up being Revenge of the Sith Anakin I might be tempted. But not a high priority. Depends on his accessories.
