Fun story, couple weeks ago, there was a totally full and new Toys "r" Us in Mexico city (pretty weird in my opinion). Then, one of the streamers showed the Star Killer 3 pack exclusive from Hasbro and it's ridiculous price was of 220 dollars. So, last week, in Mexico we have The Good End which is similar to Black Friday in the States, and they have the pack in discount for 80 bucks. Not only that, but all those Hasbro exclusives that sometimes you can't get unless you are paying a membership to that company.

Photo real is easily the best improvement to come to the Black Series. Turned me from someone who had less than ten figures to now hundreds. I do like that Justin mentioned gummy plastic tho. I picked up a Marvel Legends Morbius recently and was so disappointed in how gummy it was. Nothing like a modern 2023 Black Series figure. Happy early Thanksgiving guys, even to Tom Walgreens.

When you guys mentioned photoreal, I'm surprised you didn't bring up the rerelease of the Rebels crew: they were abysmal in the red & black era, Sabine being the worst which thankfully you could hide with the helmet. I'll give it to Fwoosh who made an amazing comparison video. Considering how they did such a phenomenal job with Dooku and I've seen the figure in-box, I wish they bring it back for Archives or Galaxy Packaging and give him an even better portrait AND the Lightning Force hand. I'm all in on TVC but I would buy that one for sure, not to mention that I was introduced to the work of Sir Christopher Lee thanks to Attack of the Clones. For the elbow joints, Vader is literally perfect now. (He just needs new, stronger legs and revised shoulders so that the tunic stays properly under the armor for all NON 1977-like versions). All other points are valid, but I've my concerns on TBS which I'll keep away from the comments for now. Cheers!

I’m a huge fan of Ahsoka and I do own the Hasbro CW No. 44 never opened in mint condition and I thought was one of the best early on Ahsoka figures then they had some black series ones. The rebels one was ok then they re-did that figure and it was minimal changes but then comes the clone wars season 7 one which there were some issues but over all it was fantastic then they did mando Ahsoka and it was phenomenal and now we have the Padawan Ahsoka figure and it is literally the beast Ahsoka out right now. Compare that to the vintage collection black series Ahsoka and it’s like damn. They have been stepping it up even though repacks are annoying sometimes.

Hello Nate and Justin, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the improvements of the black series figures over the last 5-6 years. The face printing tech is a vast improvement for character's faces of human characters and aliens as well. Unfortunately we also lost the ability to have the best looking battle damaged/ worn looks to the figures. Hasbro has the chipped paint looks down but where is the dirt and grime from being in the field ?? We lost that from the new painting system Hasbro is currently using. We definitely have better character selection but way too much Mando figures in my opinion. I was happy when Hasbro rereleased the Rebels line, before that the only Rebels figure I had was Chopper. I was fortunate enough to find him at a GameStop that I don't frequent often, I was happy I stopped by that day. I feel happy about no more Walgreens exclusives, but sad that Tom Walgreens is drinking so heavily these days. 😢 I hope you both had a great Thanksgiving 🦃, and a great weekend. I'll catch you Sunday. Take care my friends, Tom
