Hasbro's 6-inch action figure line has been confirmed ("Black Series"), with the first release being Luke x-wing pilot, accompanied by Darth Maul, R2-D2 and a Sandtrooper.

These sound very interesting. And look pretty awesome.

Very cool, as long as they make it to NZ and theyre not $40 then Ill pick up a few - theyll look great next to my Marvel Legends & movie figures

Lovely but unwanted. I'll stick with 3 & 3/4". I'd rather have new characters in the scale I already collect than the same characters I already own multiple copies of in a new scale for twice the price. As nice as these sculpts are certain to be, Luke, R2. Maul, Sandtrooper etc are just boring to me at this point.

That and, space and money are both issues, so spending more on larger things is the exact opposite of what I need to be doing right now.

X-Wing Luke looks great, I don't think that's in dispute. I'm interested to see what the others look like but I think these will be selective buys at best. I would really like to see these in person rather than having to order them online so fingers crossed they get to NZ at a not-outrageous price.

Some pics coming through suggest these aren't as crisp as the mock-up photos suggest. This one from YodasNews barely looks any different from existing 3.75" scale astromechs.

Gotta be honest. That's a disappointing final product

Hmmm. Will be interesting to see what the human figures look like in person.

Looks like i might be saving some money here. But i might wait to see them up close first.

Yep, the "prototype" looks much better. Looks like the low quality values used for the recent 12" figures might be infecting the other lines too.
