Damn, I really have some catching up to do. Constantly drained of energy and enthusiasm for anything is taking its toll for sure. Anyway thets have a look at what is coming, and I will give some opinions and thoughts...
Kenner colour inspired 6'' black series cardbacks for the 50 years of Lucas Films. Obi Wan, Jawa and Greedo. No Han with Greedo? These I think will be unfortunately Amazon exclusives, these are not my cup of tea. No issue with them in particular but I did hope we would get a new photo real Obi and a rerelease of Greedo for those that didn't get a chance to pick them up long ago. Maybe we will though; Greedo I feel would be hard to improve on if at all possible and Obi Wan isnt to bad, just a face paint improvement would be sufficient. Please, Hasbro Id like a decent old man Ben. That would give you a good excuse to do an improved Tatooine Luke, and R2.
Now this little lot has peaked my curiosity, is this a return of the expanded universe but for the Black Series line? I hope so. I really enjoy unique characters, especially from the comics. I have no idea what the packaging will be like, maybe something similar to the gaming greats line. Will we get a Mara Jade? Some new Jedi figures? Jaxxon is a really interesting choice, so will we see a version of Han to go with him? I dont think we will see these for a fair while though but who knows. These are ticking some boxes for me for sure.
Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazon are also rumoured for the Black Series line, not for me but anything Cantina related in 6'' will please a few of you I am sure.
