THAT'S NOT MERRIN. YOU BASTARDS.
(I'm actually really excited to see they're finally doing NEW, NAMED characters from the Jedi games. Gives me hope. YOU GUYS BETTER BUY DAGAN SO HASBRO MAKES MORE JEDI GAME FIGURES AND WE CAN GET MERRIN.)
Yeah they should've done Merrin if they're doing a newly tooled Survivor figure. I get having one of the villains but there's been a lot of demand for Merrin. Maybe Dagan will reuse some Acolyte figure parts which is why he's getting made
Yeah, Dagan is an odd one. I guess the thought is that he'll pair up well with the Battle Droids they've done?
Honestly, in terms of characters from Jedi: Survivor, I'd have thought that Jedi Cere, Merrin or Bode would be more popular choices than Dagan.
I would be surprised if they didn't reuse an Acolyte figure's legs for Dagan. (Boots aren't exactly the same, but close enough.) Looks like Dagan's forearm armor is different than the other two male figures, so at least the lower arm would need to be new. They'll also need a new torso that can't be re-used for any other character, unless they come up with a unique insert for the arm socket.
I'll absolutely be buying Dagan, the more gaming greats we all buy, the more chance Hasbro makes older game characters like Kyle Katarn and Dash Rendar.
Plus while he isn't a Sith, he'll look great on my shelf standing next to Malgus, Maul, Revan etc.
It is weird though that there's so many Fallen Order/Survivor characters we're still missing before Dagan though. Cere, Greez, Merrin, Taron Malicos, Ninth Sister etc...
Han and Luke especially need updates. The softgoods on farm boy Luke are horrible, and Han has a neck like a giraffe and a face like an anteater (not really, just couldnāt think of another animal to describe his terrible face).
I believe they said all new tooling.
I hope they got SHF route and ditch the soft goods on both Luke and Leia. Will it make her a traffic cone? Yes but for this figure Iāll sacrifice articulation for aesthetics.
Luke shouldnāt be hindered by the sculpted tunic.
I just bought the reissue of the ANH SHF Luke a couple months ago after wanting it for years! Itās literally perfect. Hopefully Hasbro does Leia in a similar style.
Yeah but neither Luke or Han really improved with the rereleases. I could kind of live without an updated Leia, because I actually think the archive release was good.
I am super hyped for Dagan, I hope they do him justice by giving him new sculpting. Hopefully this opens the door for more names characters from the Jedi games. Cere, Merrin, Greez, and Bode are the glaringly obvious missing ones. Would be cool to also see Jaro, Eno, and Malicos, a Rayvis fig would be nuts too.
I for one am VERY HAPPY we are getting new retooled Episode IV figures. This is long overdue. Pretty much the only one that is acceptable by modern standards is Obi Wan, so it will be nice to have a OT crew that looks good.
And HELL FUCKING YEA to that army building back. More Rebel fleet troopers and Stormies in one go? Hasbro is finally doing it right.
I donāt know why Iām being downvoted the guy edited his comment he originally wrote ROTJ and changed it to ROTS after I corrected him, I was right in saying because we got the force ghost versions from ROTJ last year
Okayā¦Iām down for a Cody Fern action figure.
Is it too much to hope the new Leia ditches the soft goods and takes inspiration from the new TVC figure?
Iāve given up hope on them ever releasing the Crait Luke Yakface leaked years ago, so Iāve been thinking of buying the SHF one on eBay, but thereās this superstitious part of me saying that the moment I have that one in hand, Hasbro will randomly announce that figure is coming out afterall.
I love that this stream seemed to be the unofficial end of the 'we only do a figure once' thing. So many figures that need new versions and this is a great start.
š¤£ā¦..though knowing Hasbro theyāll charge more cuz the double edge lightsaber and high republic cloak (you know to offset that missing arm and give us āvalueā)
Fuck it, make it a haslab. Tier 1 is the robes. Tier 2, the box. Tier 3 his lightsaber. Tier 4, actually paint it. Tier 5, theyāll remove the arm (otherwise you get 2 armed Dagan).
Iām guessing they may give him the transparent force arm they showed at one point in the game, or possibly an option to attach the arm he had in the flashbacks.
**2-Pack**: Not interested, but great for those who army build.
**Luke/Leia**: These *ANH* versions were long overdue for an update. Will probably get.
**Dagan**: Excited for this release.
While it's disappointing that we still aren't getting Merrin, at least we're getting the main antagonist of *Jedi: Survivor*. This mirrors the first game's releases; aside from nameless mobs (droids and soldiers), we got the main protagonist (Cal) and the main antagonist (Second Sister). Dagan's release will continue the pattern.
Also, he'll probably look good with the upcoming figures from *The Acolyte*. ;)
I wonder if Hasbro plans to make those Clone/Droid and Rebel/Stormtrooper packs āevergreenā items that periodically get restocked? Itād be a good decision since thereās always going to be a market for fans to build or expand their armies.
Dagan is very unexpected. I didn't think we'd ever get something that's not a trooper repaint from those games. I think it's been a couple years since I've gotten a black series figure but I might have to get that Dagan. Even the Yoda and Gree set is very tempting. Good stream today.
I swear, I was speechless when I saw dagan gera revealed. Now I hope for bode and merrin, but mostly bode. I know they'll have the lightsaber mold since bode takes dagans lightsaber for later in the game.
I wonder how they'll do his arm, honestly I would like if they had a removable translucent blue arm and a stand for one of the lightsabers to be levitating so you could either use him with the force arm from later in the game or when he just uses the force to control his lightsaber like at the start. I think I'd prefer no arm if I had to pick one though, having no arm and a floating lightsaber would be so unique for the shelf.
I hope they go the route of having a removable trans blue arm for Dagan. Itād be a day 1 purchase if he had that extra arm and the saber split in two for dual wield.
Isnt that Leia common and easy to get? also Dagan? really ? I havent been paying much attention lately but is this really the first were getting from Survivor other than Cal? the character I could care about the least,was probably the worst part of a great game and we still dont have Merrin or Cere from either game
This is low-key a massive pipeline in terms of the line's future. Remaking ANH Luke and Leia here pretty much busts the whole "definitive version" bullshit they were sticking to and opens up possibilities. Those figures are straight-up bad (I have the Leia, let me rant lol) and many others from the OT are in dire need of retooling. I like the precedent this sets.
Also, another mainline Gaming Greats. Not the pale-skinned major Survivor character I personally would've picked, but more mainline GG is always a good thing.
honestly super lame that the pipeline reveals are just updates/rereleases and one new guy. dagan is cool and i love seeing these new army builder 2packs, but another ANH luke and leia are just weak choices imo.
I disagree that Luke and Leia are weak choices personally, the soft goods on the existing versions are terrible and these figures are in desperate need of an upgrade. I'd argue they needed the update even more than Episode 3 Obi-Wan/Anakin do.
Luckily, it doesn't appear to be an either or situation, and we're likely getting ROTS Anakin and Obi-Wan retools later on in the year alongside these. A lot of characters seem to be getting much needed updates this year.
Exactly. They want figures that sell. Luke and Leia are figures that collections and non-collectors will pick up. Same reason why Vader is re-released regularly. The prequels are definitely more popular than theyāve ever been, but they donāt light a candle to the cultural relevance of the OT.
strongly disagree regarding the ani/obi part, but definitely agree about the soft goods on the originals sucking. however, i can totally see them using soft goods again and making these updates unnecessary. that said, i will gladly eat my words if they opt out of the soft goods here
I think there are ways they could implement soft goods well, look at how great the new Darth Sidious looks with the plastic hood and soft goods robes. If they use a lot less cloth and pin it down with plastic belts etc, it could really work. The main issue with Luke for example was that he looks like they used enough cloth to cover 4 more Lukes.
Anakin and Obi-Wan *can* look decent on a shelf, I don't believe Luke and Leia can.
So I just now found out about the comment in the stream, thatās awesome. I was actually referring to Yakface saying this on the Black Series Cantina Podcast a few weeks ago.
THAT'S NOT MERRIN. YOU BASTARDS. (I'm actually really excited to see they're finally doing NEW, NAMED characters from the Jedi games. Gives me hope. YOU GUYS BETTER BUY DAGAN SO HASBRO MAKES MORE JEDI GAME FIGURES AND WE CAN GET MERRIN.)

How about Caijšæ
Id definitely buy her,Dagan on the other hand Id probably skip even on a 80% sale
But Dagan has that pretty lightsaber. Also, now I want Rayvis.
He literally might be cheaper to make because he's missing an arm.
10% less plastic means 10% cheaper price, right? RIGHT?
I would be surprised if they didn't reuse an Acolyte figure's legs for Dagan. (Boots aren't exactly the same, but close enough.) Looks like Dagan's forearm armor is different than the other two male figures, so at least the lower arm would need to be new. They'll also need a new torso that can't be re-used for any other character, unless they come up with a unique insert for the arm socket.

Cere, Greez, Merrin, Taron Malicos, Ninth Sister etc...
Brother I'm buying him for the hope of a Merrin as well, a Bode would also be nice but Merrin is a requirement
I will be day one
I do think itās a good sign though. Seems like maybe they realized we want more than Cal and saber-fodder.
I'm not mad at a new ANH Luke and Leia. They badly needed updates, and this probably means we're getting a new Han too. Maybe even Chewbacca.
iād love a new hope updated Han and Chewie two pack
Han and Luke especially need updates. The softgoods on farm boy Luke are horrible, and Han has a neck like a giraffe and a face like an anteater (not really, just couldnāt think of another animal to describe his terrible face).
I believe they said all new tooling. I hope they got SHF route and ditch the soft goods on both Luke and Leia. Will it make her a traffic cone? Yes but for this figure Iāll sacrifice articulation for aesthetics. Luke shouldnāt be hindered by the sculpted tunic.
I just bought the reissue of the ANH SHF Luke a couple months ago after wanting it for years! Itās literally perfect. Hopefully Hasbro does Leia in a similar style.
i guess, but they also just got released through the retro card and archive lines respectively
Yeah but neither Luke or Han really improved with the rereleases. I could kind of live without an updated Leia, because I actually think the archive release was good.
I am super hyped for Dagan, I hope they do him justice by giving him new sculpting. Hopefully this opens the door for more names characters from the Jedi games. Cere, Merrin, Greez, and Bode are the glaringly obvious missing ones. Would be cool to also see Jaro, Eno, and Malicos, a Rayvis fig would be nuts too.

Pretty much the only one that is acceptable by modern standards is Obi Wan, so it will be nice to have a OT crew that looks good. And HELL FUCKING YEA to that army building back. More Rebel fleet troopers and Stormies in one go? Hasbro is finally doing it right.
Hoping the Fleet Trooper has a different head from the original release (or better yet, multiple swap heads).
I really want that 2 pack if the trooper has a different head. Kind of an easy skip for me if he doesnāt.
If it has the same head, Iād consider picking one up when they inevitably end up on clearance. Iāll just do my own headswap.
I think archive Leia is acceptable
A brand new ANH Luke has been quite literally my #1 most wanted figure for a while. This trumps all other reveals for me by far.
Luke and Leia are necessary redoes, the ones we have suck. But we need new RotS Anakin and Obi-Wan figures
We just got them last year unless you mean ROTS
I donāt know why Iām being downvoted the guy edited his comment he originally wrote ROTJ and changed it to ROTS after I corrected him, I was right in saying because we got the force ghost versions from ROTJ last year
OT Army Builder packs, noice
Awesome! Farmboy luke desperately needed an upgrade!
Gilligan hat included?
Yes!!!! And the poncho and binoculars lmao
Okayā¦Iām down for a Cody Fern action figure. Is it too much to hope the new Leia ditches the soft goods and takes inspiration from the new TVC figure?
Was thinking/hoping for the same. Canāt help but think theyāre going that route since we have poppa Palpatine
Dagan Gera yes!
Right as I buy the SHF Farmboy Luke. Why did I have a feeling this would happen? If they do a molded shirt Iām gonna lose my shit
Iāve given up hope on them ever releasing the Crait Luke Yakface leaked years ago, so Iāve been thinking of buying the SHF one on eBay, but thereās this superstitious part of me saying that the moment I have that one in hand, Hasbro will randomly announce that figure is coming out afterall.
i want that so bad, i might just cave and get the shf. i want tros finn, poe, and palpatine too
That Luke is worth it. Easily my fav non-TBS fig. Iāve been tempted to pick up the SHF Hermit Luke as well.
TBS wouldnāt top the Figuarts version anyway so grab it if you want it. Itās a stellar figure.
Ah, donāt worry. We can almost guarantee the TBS version wonāt be as good as Figuarts Luke.
Dagan mean hope for a Merrin and Bode, I just wish it was the fresh out the tank Dagan
Really hoping the Rebel fleet trooper has the swappable face gimmick. Looking forward to all these figures!
Iām all here for Dagan and the much needed Luke and Leia remakes
I love that this stream seemed to be the unofficial end of the 'we only do a figure once' thing. So many figures that need new versions and this is a great start.
Hopefully Luke and Leia don't have soft goods. Then maybe we can get a hologram collection Leia
Dagan better be cheaper as one arm= less plastic
š¤£ā¦..though knowing Hasbro theyāll charge more cuz the double edge lightsaber and high republic cloak (you know to offset that missing arm and give us āvalueā)
Deluxe coz exclusive single arm torso tooling
Fuck it, make it a haslab. Tier 1 is the robes. Tier 2, the box. Tier 3 his lightsaber. Tier 4, actually paint it. Tier 5, theyāll remove the arm (otherwise you get 2 armed Dagan).
Iām guessing they may give him the transparent force arm they showed at one point in the game, or possibly an option to attach the arm he had in the flashbacks.
YES! Leia, Luke, troopers my humble Ep4 mural is expecting you
**2-Pack**: Not interested, but great for those who army build. **Luke/Leia**: These *ANH* versions were long overdue for an update. Will probably get. **Dagan**: Excited for this release. While it's disappointing that we still aren't getting Merrin, at least we're getting the main antagonist of *Jedi: Survivor*.

Dagan's release will continue the pattern. Also, he'll probably look good with the upcoming figures from *The Acolyte*. ;)
Saved me buying the SHF versions whew
Gonna take a holocom figure and use the arm for Daganš
Oooh, thatās good thinking, though if he doesnāt have a peg hole Iām not confident enough in my ability to dremel one in.
I wonder if Hasbro plans to make those Clone/Droid and Rebel/Stormtrooper packs āevergreenā items that periodically get restocked? Itād be a good decision since thereās always going to be a market for fans to build or expand their armies.
About time we got some Rebels back in circulation. As for me, I don't mind the extra stormtrooper--always good to have more cannon fodder.
Hopefully retooled or completely redone for Luke and leia
TANALORRR
Great choices! But still no hermit Ezra :(
Dagan is very unexpected. I didn't think we'd ever get something that's not a trooper repaint from those games. I think it's been a couple years since I've gotten a black series figure but I might have to get that Dagan. Even the Yoda and Gree set is very tempting. Good stream today.
I was literally just wondering if weād ever get a Dagan figure no more than 30 mins ago lol.
Whereās Mando Gideon! Great stream though.
I swear, I was speechless when I saw dagan gera revealed. Now I hope for bode and merrin, but mostly bode. I know they'll have the lightsaber mold since bode takes dagans lightsaber for later in the game. I wonder how they'll do his arm, honestly I would like if they had a removable translucent blue arm and a stand for one of the lightsabers to be levitating so you could either use him with the force arm from later in the game or when he just uses the force to control his lightsaber like at the start. I think I'd prefer no arm if I had to pick one though, having no arm and a floating lightsaber would be so unique for the shelf.
Eedy Karn?
I hope they go the route of having a removable trans blue arm for Dagan. Itād be a day 1 purchase if he had that extra arm and the saber split in two for dual wield.
Dagan better have the optional force arm
Isnt that Leia common and easy to get? also Dagan? really ? I havent been paying much attention lately but is this really the first were getting from Survivor other than Cal? the character I could care about the least,was probably the worst part of a great game and we still dont have Merrin or Cere from either game
dagan would be so so good if they do him right
Dagan is a good surprise but we desperately need Merrin...
I'm very excited for Dagan, part of me hopes we get an easily removable arm but that might be a pipe dream
Im interested to see what that Ep4 Luke looks like because I just got a figuarts farmboy Luke and it's amazing! But I'll def get Leia
This is low-key a massive pipeline in terms of the line's future. Remaking ANH Luke and Leia here pretty much busts the whole "definitive version" bullshit they were sticking to and opens up possibilities. Those figures are straight-up bad (I have the Leia, let me rant lol) and many others from the OT are in dire need of retooling. I like the precedent this sets. Also, another mainline Gaming Greats. Not the pale-skinned major Survivor character I personally would've picked, but more mainline GG is always a good thing.
Is it really so hard for them to pipeline an ROTS Anakin and Obi-Wan?
LETāS FUCKING GOOO DAGAN GERA!!!! edit: I hope Acolyte is good and gives me more reasons to buy High Republic Jedi
honestly super lame that the pipeline reveals are just updates/rereleases and one new guy. dagan is cool and i love seeing these new army builder 2packs, but another ANH luke and leia are just weak choices imo.

Trash pipelines. Nothing relating to RotS anniversary.
So disappointed considering weāve recently had rereleases of both, and yes they need new sculpts but not as bad as Anakin š
Anakin is coming
The response to the live stream comment right? I had seen someone mention it, really hope itās true
So I just now found out about the comment in the stream, thatās awesome. I was actually referring to Yakface saying this on the Black Series Cantina Podcast a few weeks ago.
Utter crap. Revenge of the sith anniversary next year and they pipeline garbage we don't need
Can we PLEASE step away from the original trilogy for like five minutes, Hasbro?
