The Black Series 3.75" Figures

[escapist]

Have we got a thread about these yet?

According to JTA some new ones coming soon include:

Vizam
Darth Plageuis
Stormtrooper (Episode IV)
Clone Trooper (41st Legion)
Commander Neyo
Merumeru

Excited about the first three, especially Vizam! Love a good ROTJ figure!

They look cool

I like the bigger figs... They will be around £20 I think

Loved that fett in the presentation box but that was a special, really cool 8)

 

[escapist]

The list got bigger, hopefully we are getting definitive Dagobah Yoda and Luke!


Mace Windu (The Clone Wars) – confirmed for release
Luke Skywalker (Jedi Training)
Yoda (Jedi Training)
Wedge Antilles (Snowspeeder Outfit)
Darth Vader (Episode III)
Snowtrooper
Toryn Farr

I think he's highly likely to turn up! They did announce a AOTC themed R2 but I think it was shelved after the cancellation of the 3D films. Most of the other figures are slowly making appearances though so maybe next year....

So there is the 3.75 inch version

Which is this one then?
I think they are awesome, and worthy collections, very detailed

Just really going to get pricey, so I will def be getting these, 8)

That's the 6" model. Looks amazing.

And scratch my previous post, apparently the (non 6") AOTC R2 is coming out this year!!

Was planning getting 2 of the 6" R2's one to open one to keep but the dodgy fitting panels are putting me right off, hopefully just pre-production but haven't seen anymore up to date pictures that look any better

Yeah they put me off! The panels on the Vintage Collection R2 are bloody annoying. They should just repaint a Build a Droid!

I custom painted a C3PO using a K3PO Build a Droid as the size of the Vintage Collection one with its dodgy removable panels was doing my head in!

Just recently picked him from Chewbaccadave for my daughter (3PO focus) but I must admit he looks pretty good on the card albeit a little short! In fact I fancy one for myself now

Still looking for a definitive 3po for my landspeeder set up - right height, good articulation and nice weathering

Some of those figures mentioned would be nice. The first wave is boring as hell.
Sorta makes me glad they ditched the BAD figures, saves me buying a bunch of cr*p figures to complete the droids.
(The droids were kinda cool tho, hope to see them someday)

Well not Black Series but some of the 2013 Mission Series are on ebay already!

5 points articulation. Anakin looks almost like a vintage throwback!!!

 

[db94]

I really like the look of the 5 point articulation - would love if they did a limited run of the first 12 on vintage cardbacks. Totally vintage retro baby

In case anyones missed it, I know we have a few Londoners in this section...

Me and the boy will be going!

 

[db94]

Wasn't going to buy these but was in asda and they opened a box right in front of me, and when I saw them I couldn't help myself -

Love the actual cardback especially with the "Bespin" orange colour scheme against the black although the figures themselves aren't the best.
If I'm only buying one (yeah right) I thought I'd go for Vader especially as it's probably one of my favourite scenes from ESB

 

[escapist]

How much?? I got that Vader and ceremony Luke at the launch. 9.99 each!

 

[db94]

£4.99 each they are on offer
Only kidding - £9.97
I've pre ordered biker and Padme at £10:99 each for my daughter, wish I hadnt now!
