That may be why. Still, just overall let down.

The thing is if Funko spent the money to wide release these characters that only hardcore fans know then it would not sell well. The box is for those hardcore fans and that's a way for Funko to get these lesser known characters out there without losing money
If they didn't use main characters as advertising points. Alright, so for example. Han is on all the advertisements for the damn box. All of them. And Greedo. So...Spoiler: show
It's overall annoying. I think the box would sell just fine if they released it for the casual fan. And I think there's enough Star Wars collectors that would buy a side character.Spoiler: showSpoiler: show

Re: Smuggler's Bounty "Cantina Box????
haven't gotten mine yet, but I think it looks amazing. stuff like this is really separating the true Star Wars fans from the crowd. anyone who loves the franchise AND has a history with collecting its stuff probably has no complaints. could other characters have been considered? sure. but this is anything but a letdown, in my opinion.

Are you trying to imply people who are let down by this aren't true Star Wars fans?
I adore Star Wars. Absolutely love it and have for awhile.
Catch is.
Spoiler: show
Seriously, I feel like it's a speciality amongst Star Wars hardcore fans to be happy about getting the most irrelevant character in any form of collectible. Because I don't see it with many other fanbases.
Spoiler: show
I think the problem is, some people don't have a ton of room. Even if you do, the character is a dust collector. Which amazingly defines his role in the franchise.

This has always been a Star Wars kind of thing, going way back to the original toy line. Even the current toy line has characters you might not have caught in the movie.

Yep, Who knows what the collectible/toy industry would be like if Lucas didnt milk fans for as much money as possible.
Didnt Lucas even admit he would put extra characters in the films just so he could makes toys of them later.

I’m not implying anything. I’m flat out saying it.
Spoiler: show
I’m sure that you ARE a true Star Wars fan, but this is the sorta stuff that separates the men from the boys. If you don’t have room in your collection for everything, then maybe a mystery box isn’t for you. Stick to buying stuff that you know you’ll want. But the people who are willing to blindly spend money on a box of random items -- with the only guarantee being that it’s filled with Star Wars stuff -- I’d be willing to bet they’re happier with characters that are more obscure, and will gladly make room in their collections for such Pops.

Re: Smuggler's Bounty "Cantina Box????
I'm surprised, but I'm not let down. I paid $200 up front for EXCLUSIVE Star Wars Pop! Vinyl. I think this was a really cool nod to Star Wars toy history. I have plenty of main characters; I want the other stuff! I'm happy with it, but I only buy SW. However, I would have chosen more members of the Modal Nodes.

makes this box worth it for me. If I get a cool shirt, cool. If not, I'll eBay it. I'll eBay the other pop, too, just cause I don't care for it.

We need the GREAT PIT OF CARKOON as a theme with Lando (Palace Guard) and Tessek or a Skiff Guard.
