...I kind of like the bottom one better. It reminds me of the old-school figures.

Of the new basic figures, there is only 1 I actually like.

Though even that was screwed with a permanent helmet.

I really hope this doesn't affect Kotobukiya.

Sabine is a cool character, but I feel like she deserves more than whatever that is.

I do wonder what the sale for Star Wars toys by age are.

I figured most of the Hasbro SW action figures are collected largely by adults.

Star Wars figures that had removable helmets never looked that good. The head was usually too small and the helmets were off-colour. Alternate heads are how they should do it.

Yeah,
permanent helmet and 90% of her armor details are missing.
Infinity figure looks awesome on the other hand.

Either way, she spends 90% of the series with it off and Hasbro should have given that option.

Average SW figure 5+ years ago

Exactly! Holy shit at that terrible lifeless figure on the bottom.

I don't even have whatever system uses Disney Infinity, and I plan to buy that figure.

Just a heads up:

All Bandai Star Wars kits will be removed from the international HLJ.com site on 9/20. So if you were thinking about getting any now is your last chance. I highly recommend these kits. They are full of detail and very well engineered.

HLJ made a video of the announcement:

They won't go into details but it's pretty easy to see what happened. Just my conjuncture that I'm going with: Disney ultimately made the request to Bandai since their license is only for Japan/Asia. But I don't think Disney would have done so if not provoked by Revell to do so. Ultimately I think it's Revell behind the whole mess since they just made their own line of kits for the movie which are horrible compared to Bandai's. I hope that the ban will be lifted after a certain point next year...

Also hope this won't discourage Bandai from making more Star Wars kits or slowing down their releases at all.

I found the Bandai Samurai Vader and Stormtrooper at a Barnes and Noble today and panic bought them figuring that they would be tough to find later.
