    There's enough Zuvios going around that you could hand them out for Halloween!

    Today in the mail this morning the 3 inch figure of Force Awakens Han Solo arrived so Im glad I finally have him. Too bad Hasbro didnt make a super articulated version of him

    They did?

    It's just Han in his winter coat from the scenes on Starkiller base.

    I'll call this post " Fun With Kylo" !

    Took my TFA Wave 1 figure's head and popped it on the new RO Wave 1 body. Looks so much better, and I love the way the hood flows now on the newer release :

    I had done this before - K-Mart Starkiller Base Kylo, but if you are careful you can remove the hood part at the seam, giving you his true body look from the end of the movie :

    But thanks to the RO new release, I was able to make this guy proper for the duel with Rey :

    [​IMG]

    The heads interchange quite easily, enabling you to do both masked and unmasked :

    This figure always bugged me, since all they basically did was take the regular release figure and put white paint on him. But now, I absolutely love it!

    So what does everyone think the chances of getting any more TBS figures for The Force Awakens are in 2017? We still have Threepio this year, but so far nothing has been announced beyond him. While we certainly got a lot of figures from the movie, I still feel there are several we should really have. I tried to break these down into 2 tiers, basically ones really needed, and ones that are more like " second tier " needs :

    1st Tier :

    Luke - of course, but at this point I'd say they're just going to wait for Episode 8, especially since it seems his look won't change.

    Leia - might be the same as above, if she keeps the General look in 8.

    Maz - really surprised we didn't get her yet.

    Rey Resistance Outfit - again, might be the same as Luke and Leia.

    Heavy Gunner Trooper - they made every other Trooper style, surprised this didn't happen.

    2nd Tier :

    Snap Wexley - we need more X-Wing pilots

    Nine Nunb - really surprised we didn't get him yet.

    Admiral Ackbar - I'd prefer the classic version first, but will take this version too.

    Stormtrooper Squad Leader - with the white pauldron. An easy repainted.

    PZ-4C0 - such a minor character, but I really like the look of it.

    I've heard TFA Luke maybe coming for next Force Friday but it's definitely in the works.
    Both Leia and Maz are in development- we saw a brief glimpse of them on a fan contest Hasbro did where they made a mockup of the TFA poster with six inch characters. At least I think it was.

    The rest are all probably or maybe. The thing is with 6 inch figures the release schedule has a problem with now both saga releases and yearly films releases. This year it's going to be a struggle for both Rogue One figures and saga characters and it will just keep happening- plenty of main saga characters haven't been released yet but they will have to pushed back again and again.

    BUT on the flip side the figures will likely improve so they should soon be greater than they already are.

    My predictions for Episode VII, wave 1 :

    Luke Skywalker - thinking 2 per case
    Rey - Resistance Outfit
    Kylo Ren - depending on look, either a straight rerelease or new sculpt
    Benecio Del Toro - whoever he is playing.
    Trooper - of some kind. They always introduce a new trooper look in every movie.

    And for the hell of it, Wave 2 :

    General Leia Organa
    Maz Kanata - think she's in it?
    Finn - perhaps new outfit?
    R2-D2 - desperate rerelease needed!
    Luke repack
    Rey repack

    Wave 3 :

    Poe Dameron - new outfit
    Laura Dern
    Snoke
    Chewbacca
    Kylo Ren repack
    Trooper repack

    No not yet, it's coming though.

    I think it will be released for Force Friday next year because at the moment the schedule would line up for the Middle of Summer but Hasbro typically doesn't release much then and so it then picks up for September.

    It's annoying but there's tonnes of great figures coming between then. -Hera, Qui-Gon, ERG, Lando etc.

    B99 I'm hoping the SDCC exclusive Kylo will go down in price. I really want the melted Vader helmet. :p

    Celebration Exclusive you mean and then after that had finished they decided to put sell it at SDCC.
    However it didn't work the other way around though- Obi was at SDCC and then Jyn was announced as soon as Celebration ended and available at SDCC.

    It really was annoying they did that because I probably would have brought the other two at Celebration if I were given the chance.

    Hot Toys have made him too big! They've done the same with Finn. It might be better if Kylo wasn't on his stand.

    Daisy Ridley has 1.7m (5tf 7in), and Adam Driver has 1.88m (6ft 2in)

    I suggest putting Kylo in a more dynamic position, to even out the excessive difference in the proportions. It seems Hot Toys made Kylo too tall (or Rey too small).
