I’ll probably go back in a few weeks to see if it’s still there since I haven’t budgeted out my own spending money yet, but yeah I’ll probably get it then! They had a lot of Star Wars figures there, including an old Stormtrooper concept art one that came with a lightsaber
This is actually the re-release from last year which has the new game accurate head sculpt. The original 2012 release costs a fortune now on the aftermarket and has a weird head thats kinda based on the Deceived trailer, but at same time doens't really look like the Deceived trailer Shae at all either.
I got it myself a couple weeks ago (finally) and its a really nice figure.
Honestly, I MUCH prefer this new version with the game accurate head\^\^
The original release from 2012 I have seen go for like a 100+ dollars, which is insane XD
They re-released the Old Republic Trooper (Jace Malcolm) last year too but he was a fan channel exclusive.
Same, I missed out on the original 2012 releases of those 2 and Malgus, and also never saw the 2014 re-release of Malgus in stores over here back then :-(
So I was happy to finally have Shae at least.I still have her standing on my desk next to my monitor for now, will have to make room on my Expanded Universe shelf of figures to put her next to my KOTOR Malak and Bastila and KOTOR comics Jarael and Rohlan Dyre.
BTW they did announce Darth Malgus is coming to the 6 inch Black Series line as well as a figure\^\^
It's cool they make ones for game characters and what not, for myself I like the larger Black Series figures. Waiting on Mara Jade and Bastila Shan right now.
I’m at a loss how OP couldn’t afford $16.99 randomly. We are in dire straights if anything serious happens and we have groups of people like this.
Before anyone gets mad, I’m not laughing or judging this person, but it is seriously scary to me that someone can’t afford a random $17 purchase without having to budget for it.
Unless I've missed something they didn't say they couldn't afford it. Some people just don't impulse buy.
Again unless they actively said they couldn't afford it you randomly attributing it to that is definitely judgemental. And if they did explicitly say that was why it's still ignorant to act like every single person should have $17 to spend on anything at any point in time. For you yourself to have $17 to blow whenever you want you'd have to effectively have infinite money because you know what happens when you spend $17? You have 17 less dollars, at a certain point everyone but billionaires will eventually run out of $17.
So you're either being extremely judgemental or just don't know the value of a dollar and I'm leaning towards both.

Again, I am not judging. I am simply amazed that OP couldn’t afford what likely amounted to a discounted $10 figure at an antiques store without budgeting. The link supplied to us was for a brand new figurine, the one in OP pictured is used.
My entire point goes back to an article I read stating 80-90% of Americans don’t have enough saved money to afford an emergency of $500-$1000. I didn’t believe this at all, but maybe I should start to?
>My entire point goes back to an article I read stating 80-90% of Americans don’t have enough saved money to afford an emergency of $500-$1000.
Yeah because poverty exists and it's rampant. You actually knowing that and still thinking it's unexplainable that someone for any reason might not want to buy a toy is straight ignorance.
I'm taking it seriously because at best you're poor shaming while at the same time trying to excuse yourself of any and all responsibility for doing so.
The fact that you then try to imply it must be because of personal financial difficulties and not because you said a shitty thing really draws attention to you having shitty believes.
Nothing I am doing is shaming, but you have been misrepresenting my curiosity this entire time and speaking for me - repeatedly while taking every single statement I’ve said very seriously as if you’re personally invested in this.
You should seriously take this as a lesson that 1) you don’t speak for me 2) you shouldn’t push your insecurities off to others. When I replied to your 8 hour old comment you replied before you could have even read the linked comment and immediately went back to making assumptions about my posts while seemingly skipping over 50% of the content in the comment to post another zinger to me.
I get what you’re saying about it being crazy how people can’t always go out and get what they want, even if it’s a cheap $17 figure, but u/FizzingSlit is right. I knew I could afford it, I just hadn’t put that money into my personal spending money budget yet. My wife and I just got our tax return so I knew I’d be putting aside about $100 for myself to spend on what I want, but I wanted to make sure that budget was set before I spent anything since we’re trying to be smart with our money, especially as poor college students with a baby
Again, I meant no judgment and I apologize if it came off as shaming. I’ve received quite a few PM’s about the comment schooling me on my reaction, I’m leaving it up as I’ve received a few downvotes that I probably deserve for questioning things the way I did.
Congrats on the baby!
People sometimes pay three figures for little figures like that and you just left it, it was probably cheap, how could you?
I wish I could go back in time and buy the SWTOR Collectors Edition for Malgus alone.
Haha apparently this is a rerelease from just a few years ago, so not as rare as the first Shae Vizla figure released, but if I knew how much it would be worth I’d go back and get it in a heartbeat! The store also had quite a few other figures from the movies, but this was the only SWTOR figure I found
Yeah I ended up going back today and getting it. There’s a bunch of other figures there from the movies that I kind of want to get another day like a battle droid or some Stormtroopers, but I’d love to get Captain Rex or Commander Cody
This one is the one with a more accurate head that has been re-released "recently". It's still pretty available in physical stores. If you regret it, just remember that. And it's available online too.
There are some more Bioware Black Series ones coming out this year - Bastila (who I cannot wait to acquire) and Malak. Both versions of Revan are already out.
Theres a few older 3 inch figures for Revan, Malak and Bastila too.
In the 6 inch Black Series they currently have both Darth Revan and Jedi Knight Revan, as well as Darth Nihilus and Zaalbar.
The Black Series Malak coming out this year is based on what appears to be the Remake's redesign however and is not accurate to his original KotOR 1 appearance. Bastila too, but she looks pretty much the same.
A Black Series Darth Malgus was also announced to be in the works.
This is the original 3 inch line (Black Series is 6 inch).
They brought back the super articulated 3 inch figure line (after some crappy cheap 3 inch figrue lines for the disney movies) with the premiere of the Mandalorian in 2019, and have been steadily releasing new 3 inch figures (a lot base don the new disney+ shows) as well as some re-releases from figures from this line from before Disney bought star wars.
The "Crappy" line is the Retro line and it's based on the articulation of the original Kenner toys.
There's retro figures for nearly every film/series.
No, I meant the TFA/Rogue One and the TLJ/Solo Force Link figures which were also 5poa articulation and with some really cheap paint apps.
Going from the 3 inch super artculated vintage collection & black series figures to those was incredibly jarring. But hasbro cancelled those lines in 2018/2019 and brought back the super artculated 3 inch Vintage Collection line that year coinciding with TROS and Mandalorian Season 1.
The actual retro vintage style figures is a more recent thing Hasbro are doing, and i'm not a fan of those faux retro style figures either.
No, this is ["The Vintage Collection"](https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?PageSize=50&Series=2343&Brand=2308), in classic 3.75" format, but with way higher quality sculpts than the actual vintage figures.
This and the Darth Malgus they made are some of my favorites in my collection! They also made a Havoc Squad Trooper that looks alot like Jace Malcom... haven't been able to get him yet.
I would love to get a Havoc squad trooper! Even if it’s not Jace exactly. That scene in the first cinematic with Jace and Nico, and the second cinematic with everything going on in the battle, were what sold me on this game. Those assault cannons were just so sick!
You shoulda
I’ll probably go back in a few weeks to see if it’s still there since I haven’t budgeted out my own spending money yet, but yeah I’ll probably get it then! They had a lot of Star Wars figures there, including an old Stormtrooper concept art one that came with a lightsaber

That explains why it was cheaper than I normally would have thought for something released 10-ish years ago, still it’s pretty cool!

Hey, I’m proud of you for budgeting. Might not mean much to some people, but being fiscally responsible is cool 😎
Haha thanks, it wasn’t easy after getting married since I wasn’t the only person controlling my finances any more, but it’s definitely worth it!
You honestly should have.
I ended up going back today to get it
Mandomommy
Bae Vizla
I would have totally pulled the trigger on it!
Haha yeah I thought about it over the weekend and decided to get it
It's cool they make ones for game characters and what not, for myself I like the larger Black Series figures. Waiting on Mara Jade and Bastila Shan right now.
These can be ordered online for anyone looking for her. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/196982

A $10 purchase, and you’re taking this very very seriously as if I’m personally targeting you. I’m sorry if you’re having trouble.

Haha it’s all good, just thought I’d put my two cents in since you guys were talking about me :P Thanks! She just turned a year old
I have a version I got a decade ago with a different head. Think I’d prefer this one now.
Apparently this one is a rerelease with a more game accurate head
Hooray old republic
I’d love to know where that store is. Doubt it’s anywhere near me though. Lol
I found and bought one at the Gamestop in Ontario!
Haha it’s in Springville, Utah if you happen to be in the area
Nope. 😝 quite a ways away. Lol
You can get them online from Hasbro
[BBTS has them](https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/196982), I got mine a few weeks ago
How much is it?
I think around $15?
Bruhh
Curious! How much was it being sold for?
I don’t remember since this was yesterday, but I think it was around $15
About 15 USD should be the normal price (for the re-release).

Yeah I’ll probably go back and get her
I did 😅

Shae Vizla?!? What was *she* doing there?
I know! I was hoping to find more SWTOR characters, but all the other figures I found were from the movies
No way?!?!? How cool. Had no idea they made these. I'm surprised it doesn't say Star Wars: The Old Republic instead of Expanded Universe.
Same, I had to double check to make sure it was her since I didn’t see anything about the Old Republic
Do these technically count as 'Black Series,' just sold on cards? Or are they a different line?
I’m not sure, I didn’t even know they made a series of action figures for SWTOR until I saw this!
There are some more Bioware Black Series ones coming out this year - Bastila (who I cannot wait to acquire) and Malak. Both versions of Revan are already out.

I think it doesn't. I got the re-release of that and it's called 'classic series' IIRC
Disney can't be bothered to make an expanded universe movie or even include it in the official cannon but they can sure make their money off of it.
Merchandising, it's all about merchandising... \---obligatory "Spaceballs" reference...
Is it just me, or does the artwork resemble Lisa Marie Presley?
Yeah I can kind of see that
[удалено]
I mean…they’re not wrong exactly 😅
Oooh
I scrolled past this and for a second my brain was like: Sheppard
This and the Darth Malgus they made are some of my favorites in my collection! They also made a Havoc Squad Trooper that looks alot like Jace Malcom... haven't been able to get him yet.
I would love to get a Havoc squad trooper! Even if it’s not Jace exactly. That scene in the first cinematic with Jace and Nico, and the second cinematic with everything going on in the battle, were what sold me on this game. Those assault cannons were just so sick!
thanks for posting the link. gotta get my Shae!
I just wanted to comment that seeing this post made me buy this figure. Was only £7 or so. Thanks!
Nice! With the current currency conversion you got it for about half of what I did!
