Ok, so I'm feeling the urge to buy the "lesser" (5POA) versions of certain TFA Star Wars figures because I'm worried we won't see them in the better Wal Mart articulated format. The ones I'm wanting are General Hux & Guavian Enforcer, I would also consider the Snowtrooper in a weak moment.

Have any of you seen any - even speculative - lists of upcoming Walmart articulated 3.75" figures? I can't seem to find anything.

I know there's a Phasma. That's all I know for sure.

It shows how skewed their thinking is on this one that the 5-POS (I mean, POA) figures will have a Finn in Stormtrooper Disguise figure with Slip's bloody handprint on the helmet. I don't see that one having massive kiddie appeal.

The handprint looks more like doon anyhow, based on the pics I've seen. Not that doon is any more kid friendly I guess.....

Kids don't buy them. But parents do. You know any parents who want literally bloody figures?

And I know they make her in other scales, or supposedly do, at any rate. Silver Stormtrooper. With a cape. She certainly visually out-cools anyone else we've seen in the movie except maybe Kylo Ren or BB-8, depending on one's tastes.
Just curious, were you referring to Poe Dameron in this post?? :ducks:
Vince, NO!!!!!
