Just 1 more baffling Hasbro decision. The entire line is full of them for some reason.

When the incompetent people at Lucasfilm meet the incompetent people at Hasbro - you get this.

At least they didn't just repack ROTJ Luke.

Ah yes, Luke Deepfaker and another Baby Yoda two pack. For the modest price of $44.99. What do you want? More main Prequel characters? New Jedi figures? Updates on some old OT figures? Nah.

I'm really surprised they haven't done Mandalorian versions of wanted OT aliens. Like the Weequay bartender or Ithorian mayor, etc.

The aliens would be sweet! I guess they are only going to so many humanoid alien figures such as the Pykes. That bar tender is cool though. The mayor looked awesome.

I like this pack. Since it is mainline it will go down in cost. Luke training Grogu was short on the screen. This pack encapsulates it well.

Thwipp!

That's where I am with it. Definitely not paying that, but I really like Luke's costume.

It's a nice looking set, but especially since it's not exclusive to anywhere, I think I'm fine waiting until it comes down a bit. Especially with normal Mando Luke coming out so soon, I think the most I'd pay for the set is around $30.

Nice to get a little tease of Krrsantan on the packaging though.

The face printing seems to be going backwards... that Luke looks like the old orange boxes with the hand painted faces.

To echo what most of y'all have said, if the profits on this line are going down and the line is now operating on a reduced budget.

They would be better off focusing on quality over quantity. Limit it to 15-20 releases per year and focus on more of the interesting aliens with new sculpts.

I would LOVE to get an Ithorian, a Weeguay, a Gran, a Pyke.... and I would buy multiples!

Keep bringing back those evergreen figures in the archive line.

I bet I get that two pack for under 25 dollars before the year is out.

The next Disney+ show should focus on the Ewok Porg wars. That should keep figure production costs down.

I really like the Grogu Luke set, and I will get it.

But I have to say, while I enjoy getting figures of characters from the current Disney+ shows (especially Grogu), I really wish Hasbro would put some more focus on the Original 6 films. The Original and Prequel trilogies.

They are just dragging ass getting out the characters from those 6 films. If the character had a toy in the POTF II line, or the Movie lines for Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith........I want a Black series figure of it.

But at the rate Hasbro is letting out figures from those films and toy lines, I feel like it will take 100 years to get them out.
