Excellent….

Maybe it’s time to become a G.I. Joe collector.

Okay, here are some photos!
Venestra Ruvo
Objectively this looks really good, subjectively she really is the worst Jedi ever and I can’t see myself wanting to own her image. Good luck, Hasbro!

Ollie’s Exclusive
I bet this seemed like a good idea to Hasbro at the time. Remember, these things were approved approximately 18-24 months ago. Then Disney screwed Hasbro again with The Acolyte. Hasbro might as well just send this to the next landfill!
Cassian Andor
Brand new Cassian figure, this one does look better than the previous attempts. While I might get that number, Andor isn’t that playful and I don’t think it will be a hit.
Dedra Mero
She had been brewing before. Looks really good. But again, Andor isn’t that mainstream and I feel like a lot of people might not want a female Imperial officer. But it looked like something a female Imperial officer could see. The similarity is also very high.
Ahsoka Tano aka “White Gandalfina”
Looks good! But the real question is: Can this character cross his arms?
Imperial Armored Commando
Soldiers are always at work. Looks good enough! Yes, they fly now! In fact, they’ve had it for years…
IG-12 and Grogu
Deluxe Set… IG-12 is brand new, and Hasbro notes that his current height lends itself to changes. Make all previous IG bots obsolete junk and Hasbro will want us to repurchase new, accurate versions. Also comes with two Babu Friks.
All dolls except the two Andor dolls will be available for pre-order on Saturday at 5pm! All figures are for the mainline version.
Then there are many pipeline versions, some of which are really good!
- Karnaka (acolyte)
- Moff Gideon Darktrooper (The Mandalorian)
- Praetorian Guard (The Mandalorian)
- Anakin (Ahsoka) in Clone Wars costume
- Captain Rex Issue 1 (Ahsoka)
- Clone Commander Bakara (Revenge of the Sith)
- BX Commando Robot (Clone Wars)
- Prince Xizor (Shadows of the Empire)
That’s it! While the Ando figure does look very nice, the reveal isn’t all that great!
