Saw the "leak"...not impressed. I'm 100% sure that's what the POP is and it could have been so much better. The proportions are wayyyy out of whack, even by POP standards. And why the tiny black Star Wars plaque in the middle of the smoke and flames?? Could've been executed better, but A for effort...I know everyone else is gaga over it.

Pretty sure it's two pops again, poppet. But anyway,
Spoiler: show
Yeah, that plaque is annoying and really ugly. But I like it. It reminds me of the AoU Iron Man. I even stated earlier in the thread that if it was something similar, I'd love it. And I do. So much better than the standard Boba.

The second POP better not be IG88...anything else but that PLEASE. I would rather have a Terminator Endoskeleton than IG88

Welp, you just p***ing on my parade today, pal.

Well, I had turned off my auto-renewal, but after seeing the leak I manually paid for the box. Think it looks good!

It is more being over critical than hate.

Don't think that's allowed. But check the news section on PPG, you'll see it.

Or like AoU Iron Man, with the jetpack flames acting as a stand

Yes!!! I would love a action pose boba!

I'd be satisfied with a Boba Fett and a Jango Fett Pop. If not them, then Cad Bane.

So...Is it confirmed its a 2 pack?

No, but a few of the ads say mention multiple pops.

Finally saw a photo of the leak. and this is my thoughts on it....

I think the 2nd pop will be IG88

Postby **SparkInTheDark** » Fri May 06, 2016 9:05 am

I love the pop, but my only fear is they are going to do more action pops (because they look great) and pretty much redo the most of line and I just can't afford that. Realistically though...if that's my complaint then things aren't THAT bad.

i think the body / head ratio is messed up because they needed to reduce width to fit it in the box and the easiest way to do that was on the body since I believe it is the same original head.

I think it looks cool I'm just not liking the Star Wars logo on it and I'm not a big fan of action poses.

Same here...don't like that little Star Wars plaque up front. It throws everything off. They could have had a normal Star Wars base, and then the rocket thruster flames plug into the base, as with all the other SW POPs....instead of making the entire base the flames.

I don't think that would look good either. I'd much rather have no logo but if we have to I like the little sign

One week from now we will know. So far, the boxes have been great. This one will be the same. Will this box sport a variant? My guess is YES!

Postby **hawkman2** » Tue May 10, 2016 12:52 pm

Hoping for 2 pops, that would be great.

Can always use a chase.

Postby **conventiongeek** » Fri May 13, 2016 1:07 am

Do these bounties include variant and chaser pops? I was no aware. Do they advertise this?

Postby **poppetmaster** » Fri May 13, 2016 2:39 am

I HOPE there is no chase, for the simple fact that I couldnt even get a damn blue snaggletooth out of buying 6 boxes. And I am only getting 2 boxes this time so...

Even though I've gotten both Smugger's Bounty chases so far, I kinda hate that they put chases in these boxes. Save chases for retail.

Well I got 2 red tie fighters and one regular. But then out of 6 boxes, all red snaggletooth. I cant do another chase hunt lol

I understand the angst about not receiving a chase piece. However, I believe chases offer an added excitement to the subscription boxes. With a 1 in 5 chance, the values stay reasonable on ebay (if I have to purchase one on the secondary market). In addition, with the ability to purchase previous boxes well after their subscription dates have closed, I can go back at any time and purchase past boxes if I can't find it on the secondary market (which is highly improbable). Personally, I like the chase feature and look forward to opening my subscription boxes and see if I have scored one.

Oooooh, I almost forgot about this box! I think I'm gonna cancel Collector Corps this month and get this one instead. Especially after seeing that spoiler.

Postby **racheva** » Fri May 13, 2016 10:18 pm

I have mixed emotions about the chase option. I happened to get both chases so far, but my luck is sure to run out! I have enough exclusives to hunt down for Star Wars already.

Postby **Mikey8815** » Sat May 14, 2016 12:57 am

Chase is a part of the fun

Postby **Childishtycoon** » Sat May 14, 2016 8:06 pm

I would be okay with a chase figure, although I never even got the first 2 I think it adds to the fun. I did get zombie Morbius which was pretty cool. Hopefully monday we see some spoilers

Postby **Strending625** » Sat May 14, 2016 10:21 pm

I'm on the fence with the chase figures for the sub boxes. I haven't been lucky enough to get a chase figure in one of my boxes, but I'm not enough of a completionist to buy one on the secondary market.

Same here. It's a fun concept in paper, but I don't think everyone enjoys it enough to justify the practice.

Problem with the Chases in sub boxes is that it's all a random one-shot, unless you buy multiple subscriptions, which not only not a guarantee, but a waste. Unlike retail Chases, there's no hunt. You have one chance, and no control over it. Not really a Chase, so much as a Gamble.

My thoughts EXACTLY. The tshirts are enough to satisfy my need for surprise and variation.
