Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest Premium Happy Hour Round Up
You forgot to mention that almost half of it was that guy from the Black Eyed Peas rambling on and on.
Here's a chart to break it down.
Why does it have to be a fan vote to pick one of those 5 TVC Star Wars figures, when they KNOW there's huge aftermarket demand for all 5 and all those figures would sell really well if released as a new repack wave.

I'm down with everything he said mostly, just wish it came in like a micro machines level mold.

I shut if off when they stopped talking about toys. I checked back a couple times just to see if they were going to get to Transformers or GI Joe Classified. No such luck. I know they are saving it for tomorrow, but I thought there would be at least one thing from each of their major brands. Oh well.
What was revealed for PR and GI Joe?
Oh that was the long-hair guy from Black Eyed Peas?
I was wondering who that strangely dressed random dude was.
So, why was a strangely dressed random dude on the podcast?
I mean, it's hard to come up with a rational explanation.

Here’s the rational explanation: Two of them are (as far as Disney is concerned) irelevant non-canon characters, two are background characters with minimal screen time, and one, while a major character, was released a couple of years ago under the Black Series banner.
What am I thinking. It must be because the mean old toy company wants to “torture” you.

People probably do know and understand the real rational behind the vote, but since Hasbro has gone out of their way to make 3 3/4 collectors lives a pain in the ass when it comes to the Vintage collection, it's reasonable that they'd be a little salty when it comes to something like this. Also considering that Black Series got an entire WAVE of fan votes. I'd say the feeling might be a little justified.
Edit: I was wrong about the wave of fan vote character, it was only Cody. Point still stands that Vintage Series collectors are salty af and justifiably so.
I think one of those Star Wars figs look good!
