Disney Store is still making these things. And if they are making these things are they really making more "First Order" stuff? Disney, TFA is so 2015. Stop making shelf-warmers. JTA reader Augustin G. sends us a report of new Disney Elite Series figures arriving at retail. Click through for more.
Hi Paul,
Just when I thought that my Elite Series Collection was complete (except for the prototype Boba Fett that is nowhere to be found), 'new' TFA figures hit the market:
- Repack Finn, this time with 'his' lightsaber (https://www.disneystore.com/action-figures-toys-finn-with-lightsaber-elite-series-die-cast-action-figure-6-12-star-wars-the-force-awakens/mp/1427285/1000255/)
- Repack Stormtrooper, with Riot Gear (https://www.disneystore.com/action-figures-toys-riot-gear-stormtrooper-elite-series-die-cast-action-figure-6-12-star-wars-the-force-awakens/mp/1427283/1000255/)
- Repack Stormtrooper, that "features the prominent shoulder pad that distinguishes him as a Squad Leader" (https://www.disneystore.com/action-figures-toys-squad-leader-stormtrooper-elite-series-die-cast-action-figure-6-12-star-wars-the-force-awakens/mp/1427287/1000255/)
My conspiracist mindset might be playing tricks on me, but all the figures I found at my local Disneystore had paint defects (see attached pictures). So, considering that these figures are being released 'eons' late, I can only conclude that Disney is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Cheers,
Agustin
