Love the Revenge of the Sith pack! That Emperor with that lightning! Woohoooooo

I like the other pack too, but I made a New Years resolution to cut back on Star Wars since I can't fit in all in one place, and I never collected or had the original Kenner toys so I don't need those colorways. They do look cool though, especially the Greedo. I just need to show some self control. Thankfully I generally never find stuff myself at Walmart so I won't be faced with the choice of buying them right there in front of me.

The emperor looks awesome. I hope they make a hooded one with force lightning from jedi.

Postby **Funko5ker** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 8:07 pm

Wow, these both are awesome looking sets! Love that Greedo and the Ithorian are new molds. Will definitely be on the lookout for them at Walmart :SW3:

I'll be getting both of these 3 packs but I'm way more excited for the prequel 3 pack with the Emperor, Tarful, and the Clone Trooper because I've been wanting more and more prequel trilogy POP'S to see release. You can say what you want about the prequels, but MY GAWD does that Palpatine look f'n amazing! I'm also happy to oblige on the "Kenner-coloring" 3 pack for the sheer fact that I'll finally have Hammerhead and Snaggletooth in POP form. The more characters the better.

I still can't believe I'll be owning a Max Rebo towards the end of the month and there is a General Grievous I need to hunt down. So many good things to look forward to in 2017!

oh, hell yes! very nice!

"Unhooded Emperor."

Unhooded

Could we be seeing a hooded version by himself? I'd be down for that!

Postby **Leftcoast** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 8:44 pm

these are amazing! They did a great job on these. But now I see butts after reading through these post :-&

Postby **TheWordWizard** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 8:44 pm

I don't collect too many Star Wars Pops (I just have the Smuggler's Bounty ones and the Hot Topic goggles Rey), but I may have to get that Revenge of the Sith three-pack. That was the film that really made my love of Star Wars take off when I was younger, and is still one of the ones that gives me the most nostalgia. And I love the orange Clone Troopers. lol

Postby **TriFeckTa** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 8:48 pm

They should've made the Utapau Clone Trooper, Commander Cody holding a hologram of palpatine.

I've been trying to cut back on SW Pops, but.... FUNKO MAKES ME BUY THEM ALLLLLLLLL

These look so good. I'm bummed it's Walmart, but I will try my best!

That would melt my brain.

I'm not interested in the colorways 3-pack, but the RotS 3-pack is pretty cool. Palpatine looks awesome, and I've always liked the Clone Troopers. I'm unsure if I'll get it however, due to the large space it takes up.

Postby **YourAverageFunatic** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 9:40 pm

Don't collect Star Wars, but Kenner colorways and Unhooded Emperor are REALLY cool! :eek:

Postby **professorratigan** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 10:35 pm

I hope that Emperor gets a solo release. I want him. The other two? Not so much... I want a Dooku now!

Postby **ThePhantomFunko** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 10:44 pm

The fact that the prequels are finally getting their due in POP's and Count Dooku/Darth Tyrannus has not been given the Funko treatment yet keeps me up at night. Seriously, get on this Funko....

Also, we need a Qui-Gon that we can buy in retail and not have to pay $300+ for made available for us sometime soon. So please, with all due respect, get crackin'.....

Oh sure, sure, first everyone asks for a Qui-Gon and Funko gave you exactly what you wanted, but now you want it affordable? Well you didn't say that in the first place lol

Seriously I will NEVER understand why Funko took the one most requested Pop ever and made it an LE2000, what a slap in the face to collectors.

I saw you were the newest post on this thread and was hoping you'd mention butt face - you did not disappoint!

You weren't @$$king too much! I never disappoint in the end! Hopefully Walrus doesn't rear his ugly head! No ifs, ands, or butts.

BUTTS.

I actually LOL-ed at these puns. lol

Who's the buyer for Walmart? They stepped up big time! Those are all must gets.

Postby **BillyLouis** » Tue Jan 10, 2017 1:10 am

I really just want the unhooded Emperor from that set. I think I'll just wait and hope that hit clearance pretty quickly most 2/3 sets my Walmart gets.

Yes! Based on the glams, they nailed Palpatine's look from ROTS. So excited for the whole 3-pack!

Postby **Classier** » Tue Jan 10, 2017 9:32 am

I like the Emperor.. but not enough to cough up for those other two.

Postby **CyberGhostface** » Tue Jan 10, 2017 9:43 am

First-world problems but I am a bit frustrated that the only way to get this new Palpatine sculpt is to have to buy him in a 'three-set' with two generic characters I couldn't care less about. Even if I get it at a reduced price it's still taking up additional shelf space I don't have (again, first world problems I Know). Hopefully there's at least there's another Palpy (maybe with a saber and a hood) from RotS available to the general public.

Postby **mikechickenhead** » Tue Jan 10, 2017 9:49 am

NEED them both!

Postby **Fawk** » Tue Jan 10, 2017 9:53 am

It would be awesome if the 3 packs had the POPs individually in their own boxes too. I'd pay the extra $.50- $2 (have no idea the cost to print and glue the windows on).

Postby **JohnnyPOP** » Tue Jan 10, 2017 10:01 am

Oh, just what I needed, more Star Wars Pops! These look awesome and hopefully they're easy for me to get my hands on. :cheers:

Postby **Vinyl4Blood** » Tue Jan 10, 2017 11:09 am

They do look nice. And i like how they match the original sets. sigh.

Do they make pop protectors for 3-packs?

These guys do although they are sold out of 3-packs right now. Also make sure that the set is listed for that protector as sometimes the size can vary. I purchased some for my Thanos and Giant-Man XL Dorbzez and they were too big. He was very gracious in refunding me and even let me keep the protectors.

Yes they sure do. Are you in any of the Funko trading Facebook groups? There is a guy that I buy mine from and I really like them. He has any size you need.

Postby **Koppper** » Tue Jan 10, 2017 2:44 pm

I wish they had decided to use Commander Cody with the visor holding the emperors holo picture or Commander Gree from Kashyykk who tried to kill Yoda while Tarfful was standing there w/ Chewie. Either way this is pretty cool, and I really hope they decide to make all the Clone Troopers.

I would be super excited to see Rex, Cody, and all the other great clones get models.

I'm trying to take an approach of "don't buy it unless you LOVE it" we shall see how it goes. Funko just happens to make a lot of stuff that I love. Need to start making some hard cuts though so something has got to give.
