LANDO & HERA!!! Praise the gods!!!
The Tusken Raider & Qui-Gon Jinn are also very cool, not a big fan of the cloth cape on the imperial guard.
And Thrawn is a must!!
Very good reveals so far, is there more? Cause we always could use more, right!
Edit: While Lando's likeness is pretty good, I wouldn't mind him to have a more smiling face. Hera & Qui-Gon are just PER-FECT!!
Our first new Thrawn figure - looks pretty decent too!
Hera in the Black Series is pretty cool, but man... I love me some Crimson Empire, I really do, but that figure does nothing for me. They need to do the armor of Kir Kanos, even if they don’t attach the name to it, and it needs to come with a blade staff.
This is basically just another Royal Guard with a slightly Crimson Empire influence without actually being an important armor from Crimson Empire. Which sucks. And the cloth robe looks like crap. Very disappointing.
Other than that: Nice that Jaina won. I won’t buy the figure but it's cool.
Sweet, now I don't need to worry about trying to get the Ben Kenobi exclusive. I'll just wait till this one gets released.
Love everything, except for the fact that Jaina Solo won because in actuallity she didn't. If you've been watching the poll, it's obvious some major ballot stuffing happened. The poll worked in such a way that if your web browser was in incognito mode you could vote an unlimited amount of times. Following this on social media, what happened was a group of bitter EU fans abused the system to push Jaina to the top at the last second to spite Lucas Films/Hasbro. Starkiller, and Darth Talon have been leading the polls for days now.
Also, Hasbro confirmed more 6" Black Series vehicles for next year, and that they're working on TFA Luke Skywalker figure.
But they'll probably do both Starkiller and Talon now anyways; the fans told them what they want to see.
Lando!!! Of course we're already being shown old Ben as a basic retail release, I guess Hasbro wanted to calm some people's concerns asap. Great to see the Tusken Raider as this is a figure I've strangely wanted in the line for a while. Qui Gon looks great (and Liam Neeson is my shit) so I may finally break my no PT standard so far in this line. The royal guard is probably gonna be like farm-boy Luke for me where I'm gonna need to see the figure in hand (or somebody's) to see if it can be managed or if it's just too doll-like.
Now if they could give Revan an actual release date, yeah that'd be great.
Ew, Jaina Solo? Really?
Well done on Hera and Lando, though. Both overdue. So happy!

I'm looking forward to Obi-Wan and Lando, great likeness on both. Unfortunately I can't say the same for that nightmarish Leia. Maybe it would help if Hasbro had some women sculptors working on the Black Series?
HERA!!!! YES! The only Black Series figure I need.

Good gods....now even the poor at ats get rduced artic.....man hasbro must want to no longer have star wars figs and vehicles be good.
I'm with RamenRider re: the royal guard. If Hasbro intends to do a figure of Kir Kanos with his cool armor, then make a figure of Kir Kanos specifically! A generic helmeted figure with a flap of red fabric seems a pale substitute -- unless there's an alternate head sculpt, and the fabric and helmet are removable? (Fat chance.)
Lando looks cool, though I'm not particularly taken by any of these. Still no sign of Revan or Sabine...?

So I need that guard and Lando like right now.
Ugh... 5PoA'd again. For shame!
I thought it was odd that Hera and Lando were both absent from the fan-poll. Looks like this was the answer. Both are looking good, and fan wanted. Regarding Jaina, I originally voted for her and am glad her fans will get her. Now in hindsight, I kinda would have preferred Darth Talon, but what are you gonna do.
On the subject of "stuffing the ballot box", I'm pretty sure no group was innocent. It wasn't just those "out-of-date-EU-fans", I'm pretty sure there was some cheating going on all around the board. Every character experienced odd ricochet-voting at some point in the poll.
So, no articulated 3.75 figures? Weak.
Hmm...Depending on the price, I might get myself one of those AT-ATs. I've never had one before, and now I kinda want one.
Also, I've been doing some examination of TFA 5 POA line as of late, and realized that it was only really a few steps away from being an okay line. I mean, we have plenty of vehicles and characters, plus some REALLY nice packaging, and none of the figures I've seen have been missing any MAJORLY important accesories(besides Rey and her lightsaber, but that was just an anti-spoiler thing), so the biggest thing holding it back is the articulation, and that's an easy fix, really.
Okay, let's establish that I will work within the realms of limitations that are going on right now with our scale. First thing to do is get rid of those stupid saws and whatnot that add zero play value and will ultimately get lost. Move the assembly cost of that accessory to the arms. Now, add elbow hinges, elbow rotations, and wrist rotations to the figure, and maybe some shoulder hinges and knee bends as a courtesy, but that's not entirely necessary.
And boom, your Jedi and Sith characters can hold their lightsabers with two hands now, and your blaster carriers can hold their blasters in a similar fashion. They're not as articulated as their Black series counterparts, sure, but they're better than this crap.
Just some thoughts.
