Re: 6" Star Wars Black Series
I've stalled with this line.
the last one I've bought as the Scout Trooper and Speeder bike. The Scout is fine, a rather dandy figure, but the bike is an upset. I hated the paint apps on the thing, especially the slap-dash silver paint "weathering".
Zero though went into this application and the painters at the factory clearly were just running through the motions.
I went in and re-weathered the bike I got, added more paint-chipping, rust, dirt and general wear. I didn't feel like repainting it entirely, but I', not completely happy with my own rescue work, so a re-paint is likely in the future.
I mean, otherwise this is a great toy, loaded with detail and looks really nice posed on it's multi-pose stand. It's just a pity it was painted by chimps.

Re: 6" Star Wars Black Series
I've seen her three times. Bought her twice. Didn't the third time. First at Kmart, a couple weeks later at Wally, then a few days ago at Target.

Re: 6" Star Wars Black Series
I think they'll be easier to find. Hopefully parents by all the Finns and Chewys for Christmas. Seen Zuvio and the red guy a lit but don't want either. Just waiting for Hux to show up.

Re: 6" Star Wars Black Series
Defintely on the lookout for Han and Jango. Not sure I'll get Trooper Finn but probably will once I see him. Will be happy when figures from the older films start hitting stores again. That's assuming Constapegwarm Zuvio doesn't kill the line.
The funny thing is my phone wants to autocorrect "Zuvio" to "Suck" and I have a hard time disagreeing.

Re: 6" Star Wars Black Series
I was curious about the Zuvio thing. Looks like his scene was cut - he was going to break up Rey's fight in the market on Jakku, but they changed it to Finn meeting her there.
Hux really needed a more Germanic name. His speech was total Triumph of the Will.
I have a Rey, and I really don't want to go further, although I'm tempted on an army of troopers to fight my figures. I wish they'd single-release the riot control one; I'd love to set up The Question fighting them on my Young Justice rooftops.
