Bunch of Legends reveals yesterday but the one that stood out for me is that they’re finally making the correct Jubilee figure:

But the actual figure hasn't been shown yet, to my knowledge. At SDCC, you had the entire Black Panther Wave 2, except her. There was just a placeholder.

I'm going to have a lot of sleepless nights over the next year waiting for clone wars obi wan:

very stoked about Grievous too, from what I can tell in the picture looks like his arms are going to work how the TVC one did. I love the bandai kit but will have to get this one too, I like the Hasbro cape a lot better from the looks of it.

pictures floating around ( that I of course can't find now) of the Black series archive figures on their cards, packaging looks pretty good, remind me a bit of the old comics two packs for some reason I can't put my finger on. I'm going to get another IG 88 as the rubber is dry rotting off the elbows on mine.

Yeah, he looks loving incredible up close, even as a rough prototype.

Here's the Archives packaging:


And speaking of the Archives lines, they announced that Yoda, Anakin, and the Scout Trooper will be in subsequent waves. Yoda and Anakin will have new face paint apps using the photo-real tech.



They also showed off the Ezra, Chopper, and Skiff Lando figs




Unfortunately, everything they announced for The Vintage Collection kinda sucked since Hasbro no longer gives a poo poo about the 3.75" line :sigh:

That Obi Wan looks amazing; they have really done a better job with the faces.

The rest look good too, though I wish they had given Ezra an alternate short hair head, instead of the Imperial Trainee helmet

Does anyone know where I can find replacement joints for a revoltech figure? I found revoltech Jason Voorhees for super cheap (my first revoltech fig) and the ratcheted joints are driving me nuts. I know the joints are meant to be replaceable but I don’t know what I’m looking for.

I got a whole bag of em on eBay years ago. Can't remember if I searched for anything outside of "revoltech joints." I still have a ton if you wanna post a pic or PM me, I can see if I have a match for you.

Edit: sorry, I think I misunderstood. You're looking for a different type of joint to replace it with?

They’re replaceable as in you can swap out broken ones easily enough with others, not change the type.

HobbyBase joints. They’re compatible with revoltech but no clicking.

Also very commonly used for Japanese garage kits if you ever fall down the dark hole of buying unpainted and unassembled resin toys.

Edit: Specially their “ball shape joints” not ball joints or ball shape slim. Also they come in black, grey, and flesh color.

So if I wanted to start looking for some older black series, should I wait for the archives or hunt down the old ones?

Also: anyone have any opinions on the McFarlane titanfall line? Was thinking about getting the robot pilot but didn't know the quality.

With Star Wars, eventually everything gets rereleased. Don’t even bother going back to get anyone without a mask, cause you’ll want the face printed ones.

I’d wait for the Archives, assuming you’re after the Blue and Orange wave figs from the first couple years. The new ones will have better paint apps (a lot of the older ones are pretty rough and basic), they’ll eventually rerelease all the popular figures, and even with spotty Hasbro distribution they’ll be easier to find. Your average Blue/Orange BS figure goes for $40+ on eBay if it’s a trooper of some kind, $80+ if it’s Boba, Bossk, IG-88, Cody, Maul, Pilot Luke, etc.

Quality is fine but they're weird like 5 points of articulation things.

I got this set on Amazon for the exact same reason but am now liquidating all my MCU stuff and don't want it. Too late to return it, if you want it I could probably get it to you unpacked and loose for less, I just don't want the clutter at this point.

Hey Fuzz, just name your price for Ross whenever you're ready, and I'll Paypal you ASAP. I don't mean to rush you, but I don't want to miss out on getting a Ross figure!

Thank you in advance.

Do not read any comments underneath the picture of it. So many "So I presume you're going to do Ken dolls of 12, 11, 10, etc?" asshats. Like Doctor Who action figures have never existed before.

So my Amazing Yamaguchi Batman came and it's missing the Batarang. :smith:

Emailed HLJ but since it's sold out and no replacement parts are available, there's nothing they can do about it other than offer a refund (I have to pay shipping) or give me a 10% discount on my next order.

Not sure what to do now... debating the return, but I'll probably end up eating over 20 bucks on the shipping, plus I'd need to find another place to buy it from. Sigh.

They did a couple Doctor + Tardis sets a few years ago, but IIRC that line is 5” instead of 6” so they’d be a bit underscaled for ML.

Do people think the Walgreens exclusive ML Magik is going to get pretty good distribution? People are already scalping the ever loving poo poo out of it on eBay and I figure I’ll get ahead of the curve and ask one of you guys to middle-man one for me if you see it, unless distribution is going to be plentiful.
