Porkins Wave

Both Target east and west in Madison had the Porkins wave figures today. Target east had two cases while the west side store only had one. It appears that the case breakdown for the new figures is (2) Jek Porkins, (2) Boss Nass (Gungan Sacred Place), and only (1) Gungan Warrior. Why Hasbro continues to shortpack new figures is beyond me. The Porkins figure has a nice face sculpt and comes with a removable helmet. The Boss Nass figure is much bigger and heavier than the original. The Gungan Warrior is OK, but I would have liked to see more articulation on an army builder type character.

Porkins Wave

Dinger reports that he found a Boss Nass (Gungan Sacred Place) and a Gungan Warrior at the K-Mart in Hartford. The other new figure, that Dinger didn't see, is Jek Porkins. They are finally moving in to our area now, so keep your eyes open. Also, Leia General and Qui-Gon (Farmer) are also supposed to be shipping now.
