Looking forward to the fact that it contains (x2) Pops this time. I only wonder why the Prequels haven't been touched much by funko.

They are coming soon, the fan power has seen to that. These boxes where planned out well in advance before Funko got the okay to do prequel pops. We dont know if they made it into the first half of year two since they are already set but maybe the second half of year two we will see a box or two

I would seriously love some Prequel boxes.

The new teaser they put up today is awesome! Very much looking forward to this box

No offense , but how can you not be interested in those 2 pops? I am stoked for those

Spoiler: show
Generally I would be interested in a Vader Pop, but I'm not a big fan of action poses. There's been very few I've bought.

My main reason for not wanting Tarkin is because I tend to be very selective with what I buy, due to space and money concerns. I mostly just buy what I absolutely love, and Tarkin is not character I have much interest in. Tarkin is also one of those characters that I don't think can translate to Pop-form well. Similar issue with IG-88. There was really nothing Funko could do to make it look right, because of how different he looks. It was a very disappointing Pop. Tarkin is in a similar situation. I don't know how they will make it look right, considering those high cheek bones. But I will say they at least have a small chance of pulling it off with Tarkin. With IG-88 it was pretty much impossible.

Spoiler: show
They didn't do so bad with Riff Raff's cheekbones in the Rocky Horror line, maybe he'll be similar to that.

I saw some closer pictures of it from the star wars show and it doesnt look like it has it, unfortunately...

I was on a completely unrelated web site and at the bottom of the page was this ad:

According to the last update rides for Star Wars aren't out of the question. I can already see Tres buying all the AT-ATS, Taun-Tauns, Landspeeders and X-Wings they can throw at him. lol

(But for the record I'd be pretty into these myself. I want Wifey's Landspeeder from the beginning of TFA. lol

)

Exactly. And I fully expect a kick-@$$ display showing us this.

I saw that somewhere else too. Those would make for some awesome Pop rides. I don't think we'll see one in this box, but hopefully we'll get them someday. I said this once before in another thread, but Rey's speeder is the one I want the most. It would look good in my mini Rey's speeder collection I have. I currently have the Hasbro vehicle that comes with a Rey action figure, the small Black Series metallic vehicle, and the LEGO set. A Pop ride would be an excellent addition.

same, kinda trying to forget the prequels existed. There are some things I liked about the prequels tho, some boxes could be interesting. Mustafar box with obi wan and anakin in action poses??? I would be down for that.

I totally agree with you. Funko only needs to touch on a few iconic characters (Qui Gon, Young Anakin, Mace Windu, Watto, Dooku, Gen Grevious, various Padme, and couple other ones from each of the Episodes, then focus on the future series.

I say go deep into th prequels. You have so many more characters there that would be awesome to see.

We already know we are getting 2-3 waves of each new movie and we have so much OT already.

I agree, as terrible as the prequels were, we did some really cool looking characters out if them. Just think about how awesome a Shaak Ti, Grevious or Mace Windu POP would be!

As a side note, I'm getting a tatt on Thursday that's a caricature of Darth Vader in his Tie Fighter that looks similar to the Funko Wacky Wobbler version

Death Star Ride sounds amazing

Walgreens would never dedicate enough shelf space to carry more that one or two at a time, chaos.

Just received an email saying shipping soon, can't say I've been as excited as this since the first box. Looking forward to being able to unbox this month's!

"Other Sources" show the Vader having Bespin in the name for the Death Star box.

Hmmm... Maybe more action in the pose then?

I didn't love it either but maybe that was because I was sure it would be a Han in carbonite

Postby **jackiegeee** » Tue Sep 06, 2016 1:55 am

I meant to turn auto renew off on this one after the last box. I completely spaced about it until now, but of course it's too late and my order is already processing. Glad to see some of the spoilers, hopefully it won't suck. And please oh please let there be a shirt.

I think a lot of us did (though that would be quite a challenge to make that a bobble head!!!) I also was really hoping/wanting Lando in skiff guard disguise. Maybe someday. At least Max Rebo is coming out soon in all of his blue elephant glory!
