To be honest, I kind of like it. As noted on Figsoku and Famitsu, this is the “Variant” line of Square Enix’s collectible Play Arts figurines. “Variant” means the design has been slightly changed or modified, as in these Star Wars figures.
The tweaks to these characters, along with the battle-worn appearance, work well — a lot better than that Square Enix Batman figure that was revealed last year.
The Darth Vader figurine, which you might’ve seen previously, is out in May, but the newly revealed Stormtrooper and Boba Fett won’t be out until July. Each is priced at 12,960 yen or $140.

Wow those are rather impressive. And that Batman is pretty bad ass.
Batman?!

I liked the batman too back when it was first released. got a diablo (the eidolon in FF, not the blizzard one) sort of vibe to it.
Also, there is a new one on the way too

Oh wow. Very Bloodborne feel to it. Sexy!
There is a Catwoman too, and she looks wicked!
Wicked 🙂
Goodbye money
Kind of like it? Boba Fett wishes he actually looked that cool.
The Darth has been out for a while, the storm troop and boba are new releases though
OH MY GOD! I NEED THESE IN MY LIFE!
That Boba is STUNNING!
I was a bit “meh” on vader until i saw the swinging lightsaber pose picture. Niiiice.
Damn those are amazing! I concur with everyone that Boba looks amazing but I’m really digging that Stormtrooper as well
I guess I’m the only person who thinks this is what would happen if Michael Bay got his hands on the franchise.
Whelp I just ordered Boba Fett and Western Batman. No way am I letting these slip by me.
Very nice
Nuts and gum: together at last!
Needs more emo hair…
I love the PAK Variants! can get a bit pricey though.
The Stormtrooper reminds me of Jin-Roh a bit haha
Where can I order these from to be sent to Australia!?!?
