A Sobering (And Shocking) Analysis Of The Black Series 6-inch Line

Posted by Paul | June 29, 2013 at 08:59 PM ET

I have been in the business of collecting toys for a while now. I know that prototype images will often (and sometimes dramatically) differ from production figures, but I really have to take exception with The Black Series 6" line. I feel I have been falsely advertised a product that I had high hopes for and have been let down with the recent "final" in-package images that have leaked on eBay and other sources. And call me a conspiracy theorist, is it just me, or have you noticed that Hasbro has used all of the prototype images to promote this line? Our friends at The Astromech Collection have put together an incredible side by side image on our Facebook page that we're going to show you here. See all the shortcuts that were taken on R2-D2 from this so-called "high-end collector-focused" line. Look at all of the important paint details that were cut. It's very sad. Hasbro needs to step up this line if it is to have a future that will engage and keep adult collectors. Click through for the let down.
