Solo A Star Wars Story Hasbro 3.75 2 Pack Galleries

Posted on April 13, 2018 at 12:10 am by Tony_Bacala under Random Photo Shoot, Star Wars Toy News

Solo A Star Wars Story figures are officially out in full today, a mini Force Friday of sorts. We’re taking a look here a the 2 packs for the main line 3.75 inch toys. There are 3 in wave one and include Lando / Kessel Guard, Darth Maul / Qui-Gon Jinn, and Rose / BB-8 / BB-9E. All three are 5 PoA and come with extra accessories per pack. The Lando set is sharp, both figures have great sculpt and paint going on, and the artillery piece is cool. The Rose set is a bit bland, but you do get both BB droids from TLJ. The highlight is the Maul / Qui-Gon set, giving great sculpts for both and awesome additions for Maul in a removable cloak, scout droid and stand, view finder, dual sided saber and bracelet.

Read on to check out 50 shots of these 2 packs in action. You can grab your set from Entertainment Earth at the links below!
