As a Black Series Collector from México, we really need the Fan Channel to start taking international orders!! Is a headache to get the Fan Channel exclusives!!
Great stream! I think you guys gave them a lot of good insight. Personally I will say I like the fanstreams, but I do agree that pipeline should come back if it helped counter the negativity before. In theory cutting back on the pipeline was a nice idea in order to have more surprises, but because of the leaks, that isn’t really possible anymore. I don’t think they should stop doing streams tho because I really enjoy them and think they are more fun than social media posts.
Great stream guys. Thanks to you and Hasbro for giving us the opportunity to share and collect feedback on the line. Here's my accumulated feedback for Hasbro. 1) What I think TBS does at its best. - Variety of characters 2) What TBS needs to improve on. - Stop removing points of articulation. All non-droid humanoid characters should have thigh swivels and bicep swivels. Both allow for far more natural poses and are basic points of articulation provided in other collector lines. - Cloth kamas for all/most troopers with kamas. - Stop putting knee armor on the thigh piece. Either leave it floating (2023 Clone Trooper) or attach it to the top of the lower leg. It’s knee armor, not thigh armor. - Single jointed knees can look much better in my opinion. Thigh sculpt often has too much overhang in the front when knee joint is bent. - Give us alt hands. Recent trend of hands pulling double duty as grip & expressive hands doesn’t work, especially when it’s both hands. Results in looser grip & looks awkward. - Dedicated helmeted alt head sculpt for helmeted characters (eg - TVC Rebels Mural Sabine). - Soft goods have gotten better but still have room for improvement. The Amazon Exclusive Emperor re-issue and Clone Wars Anakin (Ahsoka) are a couple of recent examples of misses. - Sculpted detail is hit and miss. For example clone rifle model is widely known to be inaccurate. Clones are also typically a weird mish mash of animated details and ROTS details. - We’re getting fewer and fewer paint apps on figures. Many figures that would have had a black/brown wash on them years ago are no longer getting those treatments. - Stop doing 2-packs with one named character and one army builder. Either do two named characters for a one and done purchase, or two army builders to encourage multiple justified purchases. 3) What I want out of TBS in the years to come. - Deluxe releases of larger characters (eg - Pong Krell, 9th Sister, Jaro Tapal, etc.). - Deluxe premium releases of new molds of popular characters (eg - Jango Fett, Clone Commando, etc.) with many additional accessories (ie - Marvel Legends Maximum Series)
The lack of OT figures IS a disgrace... My overall aim early on in 2015 with the Black Series was to match my childhood 100 Kenner figures with new, 6 inch versions. A decade later I'm still missing around 40. This IS Star Wars. Without these films, nothing else would exist.
I've rejoined the live-beaming this morning for replay at 1.5 hours and immediately hit the Emperor's hood section!! 😅😂😅😂 I'm torn!! I actually cancelled it a few days ago, but for no reason other than do I need another thing I have already for £50? Now you tell me it's a "Masters of Wievil" release with 2 new heads? I got the 3-pac release to keep on cards, so I now really "need" this, but that cloak is dreadful! 😅
Prequel and Original trilogies are always welcome and they have several key missing pieces: -(ie: Padme Amidala has the most impressive wardrobe in the whole saga, and yet we only have the most plain versions of her. Give us her royal / senator outfits please. In here case the "traffic cone syndrome" would not matter, as Queen she was always very static in her poses). -(Give us more aliens like Watto, some Kaminoans, Viceroy Nute Gunray, or some Geonosians) -(RotJ: we know you can pull a great Leia in her outfit slaying Jabba, we have been asking for years) -Bail Organa, Chancellor Palpatine and his assistants in the Senate (Mas Amedda and Sly Moore), Captain Panaka, Anakin's mother... are some of the characters that come to my mind just making a quick recap. Animated shows like Clone Wars, Rebels and Bad Batch have great potential as well. Where is Mother Talzin for example? We also have some possible variants for Assaj Ventress and maybe some other withches of Dathomir. The Gods of Mortis "The Father, The Daughter and the Son"... The animated series have a lot of characters that would bring variety to our shelves other than just clones and clones. What Black Series do great, is the variety of characters and the reasonable prices. What could do better: focus on accuracy on headsculpts and painting (that makes more than 50% on deciding to buy a figure or pass. Don't reuse old bodies when you have better ones already on the market.
You're gonna hate me but more clone variety 😂 so many clones we still should have and there's so many different armours like the airborn or ARF troopers that we still need.
I have nothing against more clone troopers in the line. I just know that those are coming regardless, so I tend to prioritize more unique characters. -Justin
Is it possible that all of those new Amazon immediate shipping preorders of Palpatine were identified as being jacked with the crappy cloak and they decided to push out while they could? All of these preorders are out faster than my original that is still arriving in March. Hoping for the very slim chance it is possible and it arrives with correct cloak 🤞🏻🤨
Yeah especially the world building. Boxes, crates, plants, cover, etc. I think maybe ot glue shittos could sell in 2 packs, like a sandtrooper and imperial spy 2 pack. Or a cantina alien and stormtrooper. Small vehicles please hasbro don't give up on them! AT RT BARC SPEEDER. You could repaint them so many times, movie, clone wars, legion variants!
I think Black Series is doing a fairly good job. Creatures/Aliens/Droids Black Series goes to the next level if they spend as much effort in creating troopers as they do on alien characters, more droids, and creatures. My top five figures of 2024: Super Battle Droid, Momaw Nadon, Prequel Yoda, Brutus, and Maul on Bloodfin. I buy the small/medium vehicles. I bought Snow Speeder and I backed the Rancor. Star Wars is the Jedi and Troopers as well as the cool aliens, Droids, creatures, and vehicles. Black Series needs em. Top five for 2025 possibly SM-33, Sebulba, Savage Opress, and maybe the left Jedi or another small vehicle if offered or cool nifty bounty hunters or cantina patrons or short co-pilots…Anyway. I wants them.
Im not ok with any price changes. They cost too much, im glad everything is affordable in America fornyou guys but it isn't like that around the rest of the world. We've had 4 price changes in Aus. I've cut my purchases by half. It'll be nil if they go up again.

Hasblow needs to finish out star wars Rebels, shit theres only like 12 characters in the whole show!
I'm hoping for some more Rebels love, which I do know that Blind Kanan should be coming... -Justin

@@OutOfTheBasement we should be putting for the clones to be of better quality before they get too many more released
I do wish they did more weathering to clones but instead of sand battle damage would be great

Not a chance unfortunately. The March preorder date is just glitched, it’s in stock right now. -Nate
For the record, Justin, my favorite color is blue!
Lmaooooo
Those target CW waves were so hard to find. Luckily Amazon got some
True, I don't know how I managed to secure em' all back when they came out... -Justin

Very cool ideas! -Justin

Nobody has to bug the employees anymore for figures in the back because nobody is buying the figures on the shelf.
Gee that’s almost like exactly what we said lol.
@OutOfTheBasement because the shelfs have been flooded with the a new hope darth vader and season 3 Mando!
@@OutOfTheBasement go cut your hair helmet head
Finally the end of Giraffe neck Anakin?
