It appears they are re-releasing Han Solo from TFA, this time with repainted hair. Dammit Hasbro, why not just do that the first time around?? If I get this then I'll have 3. I bought 2 originally - one to repaint the hair and one to keep boxed with the original paint apps.

Is it me or does the hair still look a bit brownish? The hair is definitely gray but I still seem to see some brown in there, like its a coat away from not being noticeable. I'd have to see the final product in person.




I didn't want to start a thread about this so I posted it in here, as this was revealed today as well.

Not gonna lie, that Jyn Erso does look very cool.  It’s almost worth buying, if I was still collecting at all!

[Commander_Kurgan]

Just saw these...another opportunity blown, Hasbro.
More 5POA crap.

[Jodo]

I actually don't mind the 5 POA figures' sculpts this time around; however I'm still not picking them based on principle. 

The AT-ACT looks good too, I love the design...But It's way too underscaled. I'll be passing on that as well (most likely).

[Commander_Kurgan]

I'll be able to pick up the heads, helmets and weapons as resin casts through the cottage industry. Hasbro will not get a single Cent from me for this load of osik.

The six inch line is still rocking. Its easy to see their main emphasis is there.

Yeah, that new AT-ACP is a bit of a downer. I was so hoping to see that vehicle get the big treatment like the did the venerable AT-AT.

[JDeck]

 Now I'm trying to be optimistic here. I know they're 5pos figures, but you can use the head sculpts and accessories on similar enough SA figures. And its more cost effective than mashing two SA figures. The AT-ACT is neat, I gotta say it has potential for a display or a  custom of some sorts. Its not outrageously huge, it seems to be sturdy. No nerf gun! I'd have to see it in person, and it has to be at the right price, under $50 for sure. Depending on how good it really looks.

[Tamer]

and it has to be at the right price, under $50 for sure.

Right now I am hearing it comes with three figures and will be around a $300 price point. I sure hope that is just the rumormill.

[Darth Aussie]

translating that to AUD, i'm glad I don't buy Hasbro anymore!

[JDeck]

  I highly doubt its anywhere near $300. I'm sure its the same retail price as the nerf gun Millennium falcon, about $135. Which is expensive enough. The 6" TIE was $200, now they can't give those things away.

[Goldleaderone]

If I remember correctly, in one of the threads on Rebelscum it was rumored around the $150 mark.

[Tamer]

Rumors are rumors folks. I am gonna try to get some clarification on the price point when I send our questions that didn't get answered in. No way I am gonna get his if its over a $100 price point. It just doesn't look as good as the BAT-AT. I would rather have another one of those than the figures and the movement and sounds that come with this.

That being said our latest q and a with Hasbro and a new gallery are on the front page and on facebook.

  I found a little information on the AT-ACT.

 It walks via smartphone, and it does shoot nerf darts. Why can't they just make a regular one without all the bells and whistles, and nerf guns. I imagine it will be $300. Ohh well, one less thing to buy.

[Tamer]

I think its safe to assume way over what we will want to pay for it. Nerf darts, figures.
