That Galactic Marine may make me break my rule about limiting Black Series Clone Troopers... always liked them and this looks pretty nice.
Haven't watched the livestream itself, but I still think I'll wait until someone's done an in-hand review of X-Wing Luke before I consider upgrading my existing one. The head looks like an improvement, I'll grant you.
Queen Amidala is a must-buy.
Height adjustable Stormtrooper is a cute idea and any excuse to buy one or two is fun.
I don't get why we're still not getting a cloak with AOTC Anakin - Jedi should come *standard* with their cloaks. Agree with kILLMonger that a green lightsaber should be in there - give us that instead of the swooshy blade...

I don't know if it's just how these were presented and their pack-outs but looks like over-all some construction and paint upgrades to the line, maybe not articulation, but can't win em all.
I think it's a missed opportunity at this point for Black Series waves to not have BAFs, at this point it would be a sure shot way to make people by the 1 billionth version of the same figure, like come on, could easily pop in a Boss Nass BAF LoL, it would really inject life for people, to get the rare bigger character and you forced people to buy a Lando Calrissian or 400th Mando.
Boom! the ultimate army builder Storm troopers with adjustable heights..Clever, very Clever, of course same figures over and over but at least applying some creativity to give it some worthyness for people to do their 15th Dip.
Still No Max Rebo, still no new Ewoks, still never gonna be a Darth Talon.
Never say never to a Talon! I'm still hoping on them looking to doing more Dark lords of the Sith and more legendary Jedi characters. I'd hate to have to customize them. The packaging is very cool. And I do like the newest version of the basic stormtrooper, I actually don't army build them or anything like that, so this is new territory for me, I'd be open to looking at these for army building. I army built the Jedi Temple Guards.
The Galactic marine is a cool army builder. I army built my Jedi Temple Guards! The updates on these are much appreciated but it's just mostly the same characters for the most part. It's really cool to finally see Queen Amidala though, it would look great next to child Anakin. I just would have liked more character expansion like more Sith Lords and Jedi characters. We still haven't gotten Darth Bane, Zannah, Darth Vindican, Plagueis. Or Jedi's Cin Drallig, gaming greats Ven Zallow and Kao Cen Darach would have been to go with Darth Malgus!

I've been waiting for Tessek since the Black Series line began, and now it's finally happening! Bring on the rest of the classic creatures!
Amidala looks real nice and Stormtroopers that can change height are neat but with this whole "New Era" thing I expected Star Wars team to finally reintroduce double jointed elbows and knees, and make standard ball jointed waists and torsos. Of course not every figure needs that articulation scheme but for the line to feel new they really need to make more figures that articulate on another level.
I wish Anakin came with the green saber as well. Galactic Marine is welcome. Still alot of things missing/easy repaints like Gregor/Imperial Cody
The Galactic Marine is long overdue.
I need another Stormtrooper like I need a hole in the head, but I tend to get sucked in to these guys even when I don't want to. I just bought the stupid Walmart re-release of the Mandalorian version but if this guy's helmet is an improvement, I can see getting him too.
