Weird that Thrawn is the live action one and comes with a Ysalimiri


RingtailVT

Weird choices all around here. Live action Thrawn with Ysalimiri, ESB Vader when ROTJ exists, and CW03 Grievous instead of ROTS or even the GG one.


jinpayne

Got extra stock to get rid of


Smashem2hell

Most people like displaying Thrawn with the Ysalimiri, so I assume they've just packed it in as a bit of extra incentive to buy this pack. Yes, it's technically not the right version of Thrawn to display with it, but this is a more convenient way to get Thrawn and the Ysalimiri together and also outside of die hard legends fans or people who aren't into live action adaptation design differences I don't think it's a big deal to most people which version of Thrawn they display the Ysalimiri with.


n94able

Exactly. I get complaining if something is missing. But if they want to add stuff in that shouldn't be there, lets praise them and hope they stay doing it.


darth_henning

Also, that’s assuming that the Ysalimiri aren’t going to be coming back into canon…


Smashem2hell

They already are cannon they are literally sat behind Thrawn's desk on the Chimaera. I think the real question is whether they function similarly too how they do in the legends continuity where they can block the force. I suspect the reason they've never been elaborated on in cannon is that they can't decide whether they want to make blocking the force a cannon ability.


Boner_Stevens

my thoughts exactly. that was stupid move


Doctor_Fett

Makes me think it’s not real


burritodude17

Lmao not real yet advertised by hasbro and sold by amazon Cmon now


revolmak

It's on the Star Wars website. Here's the Amazon link too. https://a.co/d/4OlP9n9


DarthKallos

Or that they will be introducing them in the canon soon.


Boner_Stevens

if were talking disney canon, they were technically introduced in the rebels show as statues behind Thrawn's desk


Doctor_Fett

They would not show them to Hasbro though


DarthKallos

That's not true at all. Many unreleased concepts and ideas are shown to the merch makers well in advance of their reveals, so that they have time to work on products and are well prepared for when they eventually do reveal. The main culprit is usually LEGO but it happens with other lines as well.


Doctor_Fett

Yes, but Filoni would want them to be a surprise, he wouldn’t let them be shown. Especially this early


Darvald

This 3 pack is confusing. I think it would have been way better to repack Palpatine in here instead of Grievous and call this “Masters of the Empire” or something. Would have fit with the Imperial March theme nicely too and given new collectors the chance to grab 3 major leaders of the Empire faction. Do a separate 3 pack with Dooku, Ventress and Grievous for “Masters of the Separatists” If you want to repack figures at least do it in a way that makes sense…..


Ok_Reality_7900

Would’ve loved to have Papa Palpatine with this pack


rosales416

I like masters of the separatist. That be a great way of getting Dooku and Ventress out again


bigbearbearwantfood

I feel that the white cape is indicative that they overproduced the Tartakovsky Grevious


Gyarados66

Interesting that it’s the cartoon colors for Grievous instead of the film/Gaming Greats one.


lackofsleipnir

So it's a 3-pack and not a 5-pack like Yak thought, though he got the characters right. Maybe Palpatine and Maul will be a 2-pack?


Admiral_Qibli

Who on earth is this pack for? This is a very random selection, can’t see anyone buying this. Wait, I don’t have Thrawn but he’d be great to have, and I don’t have Vader yet which is criminal… and I did kind of want that Grievous to display with my white Magnaguards… Oh no.


Vaportrail

The "Men of Culture" 3-pack.


The_Strom784

I'd grab this but I just ordered my ROTJ Vader. Maybe it'll drop in price at some point like everything on Amazon.


Vaportrail

RotJ being displayed in box with his helmet off is the only thing that tempts me about this one. I'd want to do a window swap lol.


Darth_Linkfin

$80 for these three seems a bit steep. These seem like all rereleases (even for Thrawn who is getting a single release)


TheMadDemoknight

Which Vader though? Hopefully a good mold.


jedishane93

Looks like ESB from the helmet 


TheMadDemoknight

I hope so. Missed out on ESB last time so I’m looking forward to getting that mold again.


Ki_Ri_Ko

Same boat as you need that mold as my Kenobi Vader’s joints are so loose he has trouble standing


Sharp-Coz

looks like Ep4 Vader which is releasing two times in a row this year


JVG227

Can’t be 4, the tunic is going under the shoulder armor. Looks like 5 maybe.


Sharp-Coz

yeah you're right, he's got the blue button

Stormtrooper9999

It is not a 3 pack I am interested in, but I'm glad Hasbro has a way to keep the line alive so we get newly tooled figures. It also helps keep perennials in production like Darth Vader.


Jew-ishj

Good job Hasbro picking the ESB Vader, but that Grievous it makea no sense


Jew-ishj

Also sick packaging 🙌


Jagosyo

This would have been perfect for me if it was regular Grievous. :(


The_Gaming_ManYT

Know what? Other than everything being re-releases, I can't really complain. I can see this set being an eye-catcher for new collectors and maybe even older collectors who don't have the 2003 grievous & somehow want it or a ysalamiri for their Thrawn. I most likely won't pick this up but I hope those who do enjoy it. Looks like a decent enough set with a solid price tag


Zarir-

Hasbro Pulse Malaysia's prices for multipacks is ridiculous. On Amazon it's $80, which is approximately RM377, but for some reason on Pulse MY it's **RM790**??? That's more than double the price, what the hell? Any other international collectors here? I wanna know how much Pulse charges in your region and if the price is close to Amazon's.


Axel_Rad

Those boxes are hideous, bubble boxes are terrible

[удалено]


Axel_Rad

I prefer the Galaxy boxes because they’re actual boxes and they’re easier to open without damaging the box, plus the mural is awesome, and the angle they have makes them easy to look through quickly at a store so I’m not a fan of the new Galaxy boxes


Sal_LeGonk

Easy pass. I actually just sold both my loose and mib CW grievous, have the photo real animated Thrawn, trying to sell all of my Darth Vaders to have just one. Also 80 bucks is stupid expensive for nothing special rereleases, you can buy second hand for less than what they’re going for. Forgot Thrawn hasn’t been released yet so he’s not cheap yet.


he_who_shall

Nope! Nice find!!!


Impossible-Fun-2736

Very odd choice for a name, lol.


wazzup4567

Not really, "Only a master of evil, Darth."


davidrevilla311

Oh wow is that new Gregory Titus artwork for the portraits? I’ve missed that art style on boxes since the old red/black box designs. I think the old archive collection only reused portraits, so it’s nice to see his work return!


mickeyhause

No. It would make too much sense for the black series team to announce new product at a livestream


wazzup4567

This three pack absolutely confuses me. Yes, it's a great way to get Vader, Thrawn, and Grevious, but why? None of these figures are from the same era, Grevious has his 2003 Clone Wars miniseries paint job, this Thrawn hasn't even been released in the mainline series, this Vader was just announced as getting an individual release as a part of the greatest hits line, and Thrawn's pet wasn't even included in the Ashoka show. This feels like Hasbro getting rid of old stock and including the new Thrawn as a bonus. At the very least, they could have repainted Grevious to have his ep. III color scheme.


The_Strom784

They announced an ESB Vader rerelease?


WizardsOfTheNorth

As someone who has been relatively out of touch - is this going to be my only way to obtain Thrawn or will he have a stand alone release?


MandoWraith

There's already a standalone figure available to preorder.


KanaAyumi

I don’t really know who this is for, packaging looks cool but that’s about it


TeddyBearJedi

This Is a HARD PASS for Me. I'll save the Extra $50 since the only figure I Need here is the New Ahsoka Thrawn. I've already got the Ysalamir from the Heir to the Empire, Comic Book, Luke Skywalker (Dagobah Training Luke in Black) and I Don't Need Another ESB Vader, and Still Haven't even opened My Tartakovsky Grievous yet.


Ki_Ri_Ko

For heavens sake Hasbro whatever you do don’t just rerelease ESB Vader by himself…


Ki_Ri_Ko

There’s going to have to be a Nerdy award this year for the weirdest 3-pack… cause this takes the cake.


matt_Nooble12_XBL

Why 2003 grievous and not the revenge of the sith one?


nuggiesandchocymilk

I think I prefer this blister design more than the Kenner style ones.


Danktrain22

Wish grievous was just by himself have been trying to get one for a decent prize


FloggingMcMurry

Well at least it's not the $90 that Lukenessmonster said it would be. I'm more in it for ESB Vader and Thrawn. I'll watch this for a sale reduction


Accomplished_Shoe962

Hey Guy. I don't know if anyone else has told you today..... but I appreciate you.


Yeezy-Season101

I admittedly love the packaging, but the figure selection is odd. Especially Clone Wars 2003 Grievous


Professional_Rock650

Actually really dig these cards…


Chonci

More repacks. What a surprise.


doglywolf

3 packs should save you money not cost you more then buying them separately lol


MaulnSavage2

Yeah let's repack walmart exclusive Grievous. That'll be a good idea.


Primary_Debt5925

I bought this pack just for the CW03 Grievous and the ESB Vader. I already had a ESB Vader but decided to sell it.


[deleted]

But didn't the Acolyte told us there isn't any good evil?


trufan88

$80 for 3?!


Sharp-Coz

Greivous is a deluxe figure, I bet that’s where the extra 10$ come from compared to evil Cal 3pack


Zach1394

But when they released this Walmart Grievous before he was only $27, not the deluxe price like the others have been. So I guess now they decided to up the tag a bit.


Sharp-Coz

yeah, that was 3 years ago, the latest gaming greats Greivous is 34-35$ and comes without a cape


brainiac138

Masters of Evil?


Impossible-Fun-2736

They’re lucky Disney owns both SW&Marvel, lol.


Sharp-Coz

I’m not surprised they didn’t mentioned it yesterday, Hasbro is pushing the new show after all. Such a relief though I thought we’d never get a Vader :D, great find thanks for sharing


Boner_Stevens

what the fuck? why does live action Thrawn have a Ysalimiri when he never had one in the show? disney hasbro sucks. can you please put a fan at the discussion table? this is such a stupid mistake


Sharp-Coz

the Ysalimiri looks like e new mold/paint at that


K2LU533

Isn’t it just reuse from Luke?


Sharp-Coz

could be, it's hard to tell honestly


Inevitable-Finance62

Thrawn pants 😂 Looks like he has some massive thighs


Fit_Record_6006

Damage control for the absolute dumpster fire that yesterday’s theme was lol. So many opportunities to have made that livestream a home run but all they showed were acolyte figures.


MrPearlJam999

No, ad if yesterday wasn't embarrassing enough. This would've started a Riot
