Welp, as a GG fan I know they usually do their releases in order of expected desirability.  They always save the best stuff for last on the announcements.

the ackbar was awesome! 

I was really pissed about the leia one.  I knew it was coming obviously but why holographic... it just doesn't look good. Looks like cheap plastic. Ugh. they should have done a better tribute to her.  I only buy busts and statues from them though so all jumbos and anything off like.... the one and only Wondercon exclusive they made ( yoda in 3d glasses with popcorn), i just don't buy. I usually buy EVERYTHING they make McQuarrie style but i really didn't like the Chewbacca and the Han Solo.

Han Solo looked so cartoony in purple and chewbacca's facial expression irked me. 

I think it's pretty clear when they have a miss on their hands.  Here they are still trying to sell that Han Solo McQuarrie bust from last year on their website right now lol.  Their good stuff sells out before the show is over.

That being said, I hope they have the prototype for the Ahsoka Tano bust there.  Very very excited for that. Will be buying for sure.

+1.  We already got this in 2015 with the SDCC Droids Jumbo Boba Fett.  The only thing this offers is a different style of retro packaging.

PS, who has the license for 3.75" scale Star Wars figures?  Hasbro?

Yes, I believe they acquired it when they bought Kenner in 1991 and have held it since then.

i think is correct.  and this is also why i think star wars funko pops have to bobble versus being straight up figures.  pretty sure. 

even lego is affected by hasbro's rights.  that is why lego packs have 5 figures but they have to throw in some small vehicle thing with it.  or the figures on magnets that they were then forced to glue on.  a lot of people also buy the figure keychains and cut off the chain or at least that is what people have told me.

As others have said, Hasbro.  At least in the US.  In Japan, there are a lot of Star Wars figures that you never see in the US.  We get the Bandai stuff but we don't get much of the Tomy or Sega stuff.  I don't think most people outside of Japan even know that Sega makes Star Wars action figures in Japan.

i like star trek but i dont watch discovery because of the media outlet they chose.  i have no idea what it entails.  probably something simple but it was enough to keep me away.  time is precious.
