Back when plagueis came out, I was at Hollywood studios in the Star Wars star tours gift shop at Disney world. I found one on the pegs. I was maybe 13-14 at the time and I was super excited. I talked to the guy at the checkout about it and he was really into figures too. He went into the back and went through all the boxes until he found me a second one. The next day we did the same thing. So I have 3 that I’ve saved over the years. Just a cool unique figure.

Hey Matt! That Vader Figure stands out from the other 3.75 Vader’s because it has the best articulation in the scale. Swivels and hinges where supposed to be, let’s say. Haven’t opened mine yet (got him for €30 like 3 months ago!!) but you can check his review at Chefatron... And got a sealed Plaegueis last weekend for €32!!! Still slapping my face for that time I had him in hand in 2013...14 or so and left him as I was already getting the Mara Jade one and didn’t want to spend “too much” that day ( €12 per fig back then 🙃🙃🙃🙃 ).

I was on a collecting hiatus back when these 3.75" BS figures were on the pegs in retail stores, but I have picked up a few during the past year from sellers on Amazon. Mara Jade was pricey ($48), but I had to have her. Only the Force knows when she will ever get a release in TVC and TBS. (My theory is that Hasbro is holding off on redoing her unless/until she eventually appears as a live-action character in one of the new Filoni/Favreau Star Wars shows so that Hasbro can then give her the full photo-real treatment.) Another figure of note that I got from this line was the alien goon Ree Yees ($25) so that I could avoid opening the nice TVC photo-cardback variation of him included in the Jabba's Palace Adventure Set. I have not yet put these two figures of this character side by side for a comparison, but from the item photos on Amazon they appear to be nearly, if not entirely, identical. A few of the characters have been dirt cheap ($8 to $15) such as Ponda Baba (aka "Walrus Man") and Biggs Darklighter in his pilot outfit. The only slight regret I harbor connected to my acquisitions from this line is my having once scored multiple Imperial Royal Guard figures at $24 each when, unbeknownst to me at the time, we were only two months away from pre-orders going up for the character's reissue in TVC. I am guessing the seller had gotten advance word about what was coming so he wanted to unload his entire inventory of this figure while he could still make a decent profit off of it. Not a big disappointment to me though - - the figure is awesome and worthy of army building - - and I have been burned far worse before in this hobby as a result of other impulsive and/or uninformed purchases that I have made.
