New Star Wars Pops

Postby **TheJobaFett** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 2:10 pm

I am very disappointed that no one has commented on that fact that Gamestop stores are taking preorders for a Cantina Band member, Hoth Han Solo and R2-D2 color variant pop! Christmas comes in April this year!

Is star wars something to get excited about?

Still waiting for Luke's Tauntaun sleeping bag pop to be announced.

Do you think they will do the force awakens pops?

I'm pretty sure Brian announced them in his 12 Days this year

R2D2 colour variant? Sounds good to me!

Why hasn't an Ep. IV "A New hope" Luke been made yet? Just curious...

At this point, he would look almost like Hoth Luke w/o the head gear. Could just be a head swap with Obi wan too. I'd take it, but there are others that are much higher up my list.

I'm surprised you didn't mention it earlier.

Gotcha...but I think we still need to see this Luke made to complete the characters from the original Star Wars.

R2D2 Variant!!!!

Postby **JokersWild** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 2:48 pm

i was never really a star trek fan.

Postby **Oatmealman** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 2:51 pm

I would def buy the Luke Tauntaun sleeping bag :P think that would still be considered a "pop rides?" lol

saw this but didn't know if it was announced or not yet, so i didn't want to post confidential info. also if you plan on preordering these, talk to the manager at the GameStop and ask that they not be stickered upon arrival, it may still slip by and get stickered depending on who receives the merch that day.

What is an R2-D2 color variant? The first R2 pop was already the correct color of blue and white, wasn't it?. What other color is R2? Greenish from his dip in the Dagobah swamp?

Also, are these going to be GameStop exclusives? Or are they just the first to put up preorders?

Postby **jpaskoff** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 8:53 pm

I'me excited for the Cantina member and Hoth Han, didn't see the R2D2 variant..which one is it? Another R2 unit, or a metallic variant?

Postby **jgordini** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 8:58 pm

Oh wow!! I didn't know they released the ideas for the next series. That's awesome!!

Postby **beckysaurus** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 11:10 pm

Figrin D'an is the man. Though I won't be preordering through GS. Favorite, Jordan?

Postby **hpellot** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 11:54 pm

Are they accepting pre orders in store already

Postby **agentaa** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 12:25 am

I'm glad Hoth Luke will have a hoth Han to save him

Once pics show up, that's when everyone else will go crazy! Otherwise, it's still a bit hush hush, wait and see.

Gamestop you say? interesting!

A Pop! box set featuring the entire band with a nice background of Jabba's palace would be an amazing SDCC-only exclusive.

This is a great news! Thanks for sharing it! I'm so happy about these!

I would love if Funko makes an Anakin POP! As well as a young Obi Wan Kenobi; and a Darth Vader and Jango Fett with a removable mask. Just my two cents!

Postby **HobieWanKenobi** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 11:42 am

Figrin proto is gonna out Muno Muno.

Postby **Funko5ker** » Sat Jan 10, 2015 12:17 am

Muno is going to look like a children's entertainment character compared to this guy.

Custom Hoth Han with lightsaber!!

I love the look of the Cantina band! That'll fit perfectly with my collection of alien SW Pop!s.
