They already have Aayla Secura, Barriss Offee, Luminara while BS is only just going to get Aayla. I will in fact from time to time get a TVC figure just because it's so good.

Good list Matt. I have a TVC bias because I've been collecting that scale since 1978, so I tend to like the 3.75" figures more than the 6". The one gripe I have about that Leia in Bounty Hunter disguise is that the thermal detonator is molded to her hand. I wish they had not done that.

I'll say that price and bang-for-buck here. 6" looks impressive and when they level out to $20 you get a much more of a figure than 3.75 of the same character at whopping $15. OG 3.75s were great for $6 and triple sets for $20. I think Black series honestly pushed back old scale into a pit.

Buying TVC Jango Fett for $5 was a no brainer at the time. He had all his accessories to recreate the Kamino fight, Slave I dogfight, and even the deleted scenes on Geonosis where he was unmasked and wearing a poncho. Only nitpick is that his gauntlet blades were permanently extended. Odd choice considering it’s such a brief moment

I agree about ROTJ Boba Fett. The Black Series figure is almost completely ruined by the helmet, which is made from too soft of a plastic and is too easily warped by the unnecessary headsculpt underneath. The TVC Boba has the same non-removable removable helmet thing going on, but at least the helmet isn’t warped and distorted right out of the package. Really surprised that IG-11 and IG-88 aren’t on this list. The Black Series versions of both of those figures are underscaled garbage. Technically BS IG-11 is just a repaint of the crappy IG-88 figure, which makes him even worse. The TVC IG-11 is amazing. I also agree about Admiral Ackbar, the no-neck Black Series figure sucks. I would also add the Gamorrean Guard. While the Black Series Gamorrean might be technically better on many levels, the paint apps on the face are some of the worst I’ve seen in any toy line ever. It’s almost like vintage Polish bootleg quality, the figure looks so bad. Maybe they should have nixed the completely unnecessary opening mouth feature and given us a decent paint job on the Gamorrean’s face instead. But somehow Hasbro managed to give us a nearly perfectly painted TVC Gamorrean Guard almost 10 years earlier.

If Hasbro has any sense, they’ll redo the Black Series Jango Fett on the new Boba Fett buck and release it as a Deluxe with blast effects in AOTC packaging, especially for the 20th anniversary. In my opinion, the long term outlook for the Black Series line is not good unless they stop doing “Archive” releases of figures that are almost 10 years old now and start making more of the obscure characters from the original and prequel trilogy. No other line re-releases old figure’s, they make new updated versions with better paint and sculpting. Hasbro can only rely on Clone and Stormtrooper variants for so long before people get bored and lose interest. Trust me, the passionate collectors could careless about Carbonized, Credit and Gaming Greats lines when their is SO many characters who have never been made 🤷🏻♂️ c’mon Hasbro, get it together!
@rszarir2 жыл бұрын
Personally I think people won't get tired of troopers, collectors never did with the older 3.75" lines. They were basically made to sell toys afterall. Because of this, easy trooper repaints are a much safer and cheaper option than niche characters who are more expensive to produce because you'd need to make new molds exclusive to them, and they're harder to sell. Also The Bad Batch is ongoing and there's likely going to be future Star Wars media revolving clone troopers as well as stormtroopers, so there's never going to be a shortage of new troopers to make. I should mention I primarily collect clone troopers so I am biased, but that doesn't make me any less of a "passionate collector". Also should mention that the Gaming Greats subline, like all exclusives, don't take up space on the general release main line, which is where niche characters should be released because that's where the new molds and sculpts are introduced. Exclusives are partially paid for by the retailer they're exclusive to, so Hasbro actually saves a lot of money on making those compared to their main line figures. It's also why they're re-use heavy. As Robo of Fwoosh said considering Gaming Greats, "if you don't want em, just don't buy em."

I would love to see a list like that but with official sales numbers. Does a better TVC figure actually SELL better than a worse TBS or vice versa. Does quality actually matter or are we just locked into the line that we collect and cross off characters on a wanted checklist. ...not so sure about that. I certainly know i've gotten angry about one or the other Black Series figure after seeing how much better TVC did it. ...it is the size though, i just like the larger scale. The real reason though why TVC should always win is the world building, you just can have bigger vehicles and creatures for it because of the scale. Black Series messed up big on the Haslab Rancor campaign, and TVC just put out that Book of Boba Throne Room set and it ain't even a special Haslab thing, just a regular release. ...that is painful. I'm actually happy that i missed the Razor Crest Haslab... i don't know if i could have resisted.

I reckon that the BS is the comercial one, friends of mine who like Star Wars but aren’t into collecting they buy BS. TVC is the collectors line, definitely is the superior line, two Haslab and a world building that BS will always dream. TVC is the heritage of SW toys Despite of that, BS is more appealing to new collectors due to 6 scale popularity overall and always getting things first and being very well sculpted most of the times
