As said by a couple of people, why no Anakin, Padmé, young Obi, Mace, and Count Dooku?!? I really need those before Kit Fisto :-k

Super-glad to hear about the new reveals. I'm excited that they're sprinkling in Prequel/Clone Wars characters.

Now PLEASE MAKE MACE WINDU!!! :D

(And maybe also his purple Astromech Droid.)

They should do a Pop! of that guy, who I'm sure is almost as recognizable as Kit Fisto, the baby alien from Men in Black.


You clearly never watched the Clone Wars TV show, and don't watch Rebels now do you? In Clone Wars, all the various Jedi that we saw killed during the Order 66 montage in Revenge of the Sith (and a few others) got much more fleshed out. As for Ahsoka, she was Anakin's padawan in during the Clone Wars, she left the Jedi Order after having been framed for a crime and the Jedi didn't have her back during the trial (Anakin did, the rest didn't). That was how she was able to survive order 66 and later be the leader of the Rebel Alliance prior to Leia being formally involved. In Rebels they actually just shows Ahsoka's realization moment when she discovered that Anakin became Darth Vader.

FWIW, I was at my local Hot Topic tonight looking for the new Harry Potter pops, and they got in a large shipment of Star Wars pops -- including at LEAST 10 BB-8's that I saw on the cart to be shelved. So if you're still looking for a BB-8 and haven't bought one on eBay for more than it should cost (like me >:|), try calling your local store and asking!

I don't know exactly what it was, but I saw someone talking to an EB employee about some pre-orders and were talking about a Rey and X-Wing exclusive vinyl. Makes me think of the scene when she puts on the salvaged pilot helmet on Jakku.

Is this old news?

OH, come on, WHY do they have to be Walgreens? They don't even really carry anything that isn't exclusive to them and they are impossible to find in stores. Every time I go I see the spot on the shelf for "Marvel Exclusive" and "Star Wars Exclusive" and NOTHING is there. Unless I can somehow convince my local store to call me when they arrive it really isn't worth trying to actually get any Pops there

Sure they do. Those Elsas and Olafs that are always sitting in the Marvel and Star Wars slots are non-exclusives. :roflmao:

I agree! I was so sad when I saw they were walgreens exclusives! I got to walgreens all the time and have never seen the iron spider or green goblin, I found the last 4 star wars ones in Jan! its such a stressful experience trying to get them.

Kit Fisto was one of the cooler side characters in the prequels so I will pick him up for sure. I'm really hoping they do General Grievous. He's the only prequel pop I really want.

These new Star Wars pops look great, however Walgreens and Target exclusives are almost impossible to find by me.
