Secured! First Artisan for me :)

1/4 gone

$100 extra for the fully rooted version seems like the expected mark up tbh 390/2 minutes for me now…

1512 in line, over an hour to go, fingers crossed Just dropped to 1356 & 20 minutes! 1245 and 9 minutes, dropping fast!

My outstanding list is also a bit longer than I'm comfortable with: Luke Skywalker (Mando Version) - the wait is killing me with this one C-3PO (AOTC) Obi-Wan Kenobi (OWK) Darth Vader (OWK) Padme Amidala (AOTC) Obi-Wan Kenobi (TCW) Darth Vader (ROTJ) C-3PO (ROTJ) Sabine Wren Chopper Hera...

I think the face looks good but the hair definitely needs work. Maybe not as perfect as some of the recent Ahsoka sculpts and a bit less neutral than most people would have liked but if the wrinkles soften in production and the hair gets fixed that will go a long way. Hot Toys really should...

Of all the predictions I think TPM Obi-Wan is the most likely, followed by (minor) upgrades of Qui-Gon & Maul. Maybe we get an Artisan Edition for Qui-Gon with rooted hair Outside of that trio a Battle Droid (with and without STAP) and maybe final battle Padme but that's a long shot. No idea...

Given they jumped Baylan and Shin for a "spoiler" character like Thrawn I'm honestly expecting Ezra and Ahsoka the White first. Seems like they went with the safe/known figures first and the popularity of Baylan and Shin may have caught them a little by surprise so they're a little further back...

I'd say I'm about 75% sure I'm going to get this. Right now it's not enough of an upgrade over my Hot Toys version. But if they upgrade him like they have Aragorn and everyone else, and hopefully include a classic smiling sculpt (which they replied to a comment on Facebook saying "we will...

This may be my first InArt figure. I was planning on holding of for the new DCU to start but a Chris Reeve Superman will be very hard to resist no matter how much I still love my Hot Toys version.

Very curious to see how this looks. Going off Figuarts/Made/Mezco pricing I'd guess around $100-150 range ($200 if they somehow pull off rooted hair in 1/12), any more than that and I think they'll struggle even with a big quality jump over those three (which I expect there to be).

Very happy with the surprise Chopper drop (and Hera tease). I know Hot Toys has a history of not releasing stuff they have teased but I'm optimistic for Hera as they know people love the Rebels characters and Ahsoka has been really well received so far, so everything is in her favour...

Well that episode certainly gives HT a lot of options for updates/2.0s

Not yet, still waiting on my second batch pre-order from Toys Buying Agent.

There was me waiting on Sabine and the Praetorian Guard dropped instead! Guess that will make Sabine next week unless they decided to go with Armorer 2.0 or a random Mando instead. Would love them to surprise us and drop her tomorrow but I don't think they've ever done that?
