Walmart 3.75 Black Series

  Hey there everybody! After much figure hunting for me and my fellow Star Wars collecting family, I was able to assemble the Walmart  exclusive 3.75 The Black Series Fall waves. Short of two: Cassian Andor and the Scarif Stormtrooper-Due out in the next cases for December. But without further ado, take a look at what we have now!

Lando, smooth and in charge!

Admiral Ackbar! Comes with computer console and pointer.

The Emperor's Royal Guard!

The Clone Wars era Ahsoka Tano!

Jyn Erso! with blaster pistol and optional parts to make it into a rifle. 

Imperial Death Trooper Specialist!

As you can see, these figures are nearly perfect and look fantastic. I particularly reccomend the Death Trooper and Jyn in this line if you are collecting Rogue One. Jyn's likeness was really captured well here, and the Death Trooper is one of the most detailed we've yet seen in the Walmart 3.75 era. 

Finding these figures is the real trick, isn't it? Walmart stocking of their own exclusive is scattered at best, and the overwhelming demand for figures like the Royal Guard and Death Trooper can break the will of the most fearless and inventive figure hunter. But with patience and frequent checking, I have been able to find every figure at least once. 

Then there's the price! $12.84 is the MSRP on these, and it is a strain on the Wallet. What's stranger is that they engaged a rollback on these to $10 recently, and you can still luck out on the price. In the matter of two days and two stores I got Jyn for twelve, but the Death Trooper for ten. 

In any case, these are some of the best figures Hasbro is likely to produce in this scale, so I reccomend getting them when you can! Thanks for reading, and May the Force be with You!

Imperial Hovertank Pilot Review

   Hey there everybody! Just arrived this week from Toys R Us, a figure I've been very much anticipating-The Black Series 6" Imperial Hovertank Pilot from Rogue One! The figure has been reviewed highly, And he definitely meets expectations. Take a look for yourself! 

Standard Black Series package, with Toys R Us seal and no figure number.

 My favorite thing about the figure is the weathering, the slight armor discoloration makes it look straight out of the New Hope era.

Panzer Vor!

Side by side helmet comparison with The Black Series 6" Stormtrooper.

The Great Tank Robbery. 

As you can see, this figure is pretty spectacular-Especially for Trooper fans. The patina and detailing are heads and above some of the best we've seen in capturing the look and worn feel of screen used armor. 

If you are looking to pick up a tank pilot, you have two options-Try your luck finding it on shelves at Toys R Us, which proved fruitless for me until at last it became available online! I used ship to home, which was free for any order over $19. It shipped quickly and safely, so I do recommend. Get him if you can! 

Thanks for reading, be sure and VOTE on Tuesday, and May the Force be with You!

6" The Black Series: Rogue One Wave One!

Hey there! A funny thing happened during the wait to Rogue One, I ended up getting the entire first wave of Rogue One Black Series. Absolutely love these figures, take a look at my pictures so far!

Thanks for looking, have a great day, and May the Force be with you!

Go Rogue in 3.75!

Hey everybody! Today I thought we'd check out the first wave of Rogue One 3.75 figures. I've just about played with and/or bought all of them now, and have the pictures to prove it. Let's take a look!

This is my favorite picture I've done with the U-Wing yet. 

The daring Rebels. 

Later on, I found the first inkling of Wave 2, and another critical member of the Rogue One team, Baze Malbus! He comes exclusively in this two pack with a Stormtrooper officer, which is a pretty great set. Baze himself is a really fantastic figure, barring the 5 point articulation stance. Seeing as how this is likely all we get for Baze in this scale (and the amount of figures needing to be released) he should do just fine alongside any 3.75 figures.

"We fight the Empire now..."

The newly sculpted 5POA Stormtrooper is really cool. Maybe the best sculpted helmet in this scale ever done by Hasbro.

And lastly, the Imperial ground crew. Traffic controllers for Tie Fighters. Such a great addition to the universe, and a great figure as well. Overall, Wave 1 has seen some of the best figures Hasbro has put forth in this new era of Star Wars collecting. Unless you are like me and wholly sold on everything Rogue One, casual collecting fans might have only a few items interest you-but you may seek them out once you see the film. 

If I had to recommend any to those limiting themselves, I would say the must gets from Wave 1 3.75 Rogue One are K2-S0, the Baze Malbus/Stormtrooper 2 pack, and the Moroff/Shoretrooper 2-Pack. K2 will likely be a stand out droid, and when he is standing over your other figures he's quite the sight. Baze is a great value with the even better painted Stormtrooper included, and the Shoretrooper is maybe one of my most favorites, to my surprise. 

Wave 1 is being restocked much more plentifully than Wave 1 of The Force Awakens, Target being your best bet for finding them all in one spot right now. If you are looking for something, let me know in the comments- or tweet me @epcotservo!  Also send me your own toy finds or fun photos and I may feature them on the site!
