It’s probably safe to assume that there is going to be a six-pack of 12-Inch Figures for every new Star Wars film coming out. The TARGET exclusive BB-8/Captain Poe Dameron/Rey (Jedi Training)/First Order Stormtrooper Executioner/Kylo Ren/First Order Stormtrooper Squad Leader set serves a purpose, but there is a lot of repetition here.

We have a sneak peek for you tonight of the latest wave of Two-Packs sets. Interestingly, one of them this time is a three-pack. The Rose (First Order Disguise)/BB-8/BB-9E set is about as average as they come. The new sculpt of Rose is nice, but the deco is not great. The BB units are all-new sculpts as well, and they look about average. But their Force Link sound effects are divine. You can tell them apart too. BB-8 is more high-pitched, and BB-9E is mostly lower tones. It’s like they communicate by farting. It’s great. (The Disney Parks versions are infinitely better. We’ve added comparison pictures for you to see for yourselves.) The Chirrut Imwe/Baze Malbus is a pure joy if you’re a fan of the film. Chirrut finally gets his bowcaster rifle and says one-half of his immortal line from the film. Hasbro goofed by not completing it with Force Link. (We’re quite disappointed by this.) Baze Malbus is more of the same, but it’s cool to have him talk this time. Anyway, click the thumbnails below to check out the Photo Gallery and Collector Notes for each review now. Full reviews start tomorrow!

Today only you can get Free Shipping sitewide at ShopDisney.com with promo FREESHIP. They have the Chirrut and Baze Force Link 2-pack and the Rose, BB-8, and BB-9E in stock at $15 each. Be sure to check out the other Star Wars items they have on sale.

UPDATE: This product was incorrectly identified as life-size. It isn’t. Thank you.

Funko revealed two near exclusive Pop! Four packs for Costco. The first is called “First Order Four Pack” and includes Kylo Ren with Glow In the Dark Lightsaber, Supreme Leader Snoke, First Order Executioner, and BB-9E. The second is called “Rebel Four Pack” and includes Rey with Glow in the Dark Lightsaber, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca (with his Porg Pal), and BB-8. Each Pop! is individually packaged within the four-pack box. It’s hard to justify buying a four-pack of Pop! figures most collectors have just because of a slight change (says the guy with every FO Snowtrooper “Variant”), but where have we heard something crazy like that before?? If you’re a die-hard Pop! collector or you haven’t gotten these individually yet, you just might have to pick this up. They do look nice in that four-pack box, but I didn’t even know Costco still existed!

These two sets are NOW AVAILABLE on the Disney Shop Parks App! Special thanks to JTA reader Thomas S. for the alert!

Take a look at some of the new Funko Pop! Figures for The Last Jedi including Supreme Leader Snoke, Luke Skywalker, First OrderExecutioner, and BB-8. Snoke just reminds me more and more of “Jigsaw” from the movie Saw every time I look at him. Hopefully Luke doesn’t end up chained to a radiator made of Songsteel requiring him to cut off his own foot to escape!

The BB-8 Droid Factory figure is IN STOCK on the Disney Parks app. Thanks to all who wrote in to let us know! You can see this figure and learn about it in our early/advanced look at this figure in our Research Droids Reviews HERE. Use promo code DISNEYPAL for 25% off your order.
