As you mentioned, still waiting on Dryden Vos and its only been 8 years for the main bad guy in the film to be made.

I'm still for a wave of six figures from any new media that ideally is timed to come out within a few months of the show's release. 

I go back and forth on this.  One of the major reasons I stopped collecting comic book figures was "incomplete team syndrome" where they do like 80% of a team and move on without completing it.  I HATE when this happens in the Star Wars line too.  Like, don't bother giving me TVC Indara and Yord if I'm not also getting Jecki and Kelnacca and Torbin to fill out the shelf.  My OCD just hates that.

Just to be clear I'm not advocating for only six figures per media property, EVER.  I think its a good place to start with a case of 8 figures where you can put a couple army builders/repacks in a case along with six new ones.

After the first six you could go back and ideally fill in any "incomplete teams" in later waves.

I just want enough core figures to be able to do something with.  Andor pains me with its two Cassians and a Vel.  Those two were hardly even in that many scenes together.

Too many good choices makes it hard to choose only 25.

“Limited quantities” back in stock at Pulse if anyone missed this.

Thanks!  I've been trying to get one of these and it has been out of stock.  Managed to grab one.

I thought Patrick or someone a couple of years ago mentioned that the sculpting/design of a 3.75" and 6" figure were very similar, so once they got one size figured out it was a lot easier to make the other size.

I'm really surprised that they've made a bunch of 6" figures that seem like no-brainers in the 3.75" line - both Bad Batch and Andor lines have probably the biggest gaps.

I really don't know how much info they take from the two lines to figure out what they should make in 6" vs 3.75".  Both lines do tend to do a lot of repaints/repacks, but I don't know if they're consciously testing the waters in one line and using that information to do something in the other line.

According to Steve Evan's Instagram, TVC K-2S0 is a new card only (VC340).

There could be small paint differences due to the new manufacturing run, but the intention is it's a repack on a new cardback.

Thanks.  If that is the case I'll pass for now.

I'm with you guys though - if they do not use the early Spring 2025 waves to hit Andor S1/S2 hard, then we can probably file this show along side Bad Batch as D+ shows that are just never going to get the figure love they deserve.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in Hasbro's planning sessions to understand why they choose to green light a handful of figures for The Acolyte well ahead of its release yet don't choose to make figures for multi-season shows like Bad Batch and Andor. 

I get it that we're not going to get any deep cut figures anymore (other than maybe cantina aliens from ANH), but it totally confounds me that they can't make most of the lead characters in all of their shows.  It doesn't seem unreasonable to get six (new) figures from each of their main shows within 12 months of the show's release.  I guess I'm asking too much...
