They really don't look as good, or articulated as I thought they'd be. I guess, yeah, I was basically expecting Star Wars Figuarts with less extras/accessories and weapons. The price is pretty hefty, too.
Thanks! from this series Boba Fett would be a must. I might pick up Greedo as well. My personal preference, I'm not really keen with Slave Leia and Han Solo, because of the faces and overall they look awkward. I think characters with helmets, stormtroopers, some of the droids and Aliens interest me the most! They just fascinate me more as they are iconic, where as the human characters such as Leia and Solo are important just seem boring to me. I guess if I want to have a battle, I would need some. Oh well besides I can't really spend any money on these at the moment.
Received Wave 3 of the 3+3/4 inch figures at work today with Darth Plagueis. \/

Are they worth getting?
Their sculpts are fairly similar to previous releases aren't they?
This from the clone troopers I'd seen.
I was thinking that the black series was some masterpiece version of the regular figures (not referring to the 6" ones but the 3 3/4" ones).
In short, for me, no. Unless you collect whole series' of SW figures or are after a particular figure you don't have or wasn't released previously like Plagueis.
They are similar, if not existing sculpts. A SW figure aficionado could probably list all of the differences, if there are any. From what I've seen, there are some subtle differences such as:
Mace Windu coming with Jango Fett's helmet & white gauntlets
Darth Vader with a new accessory to portray the scene on Bespin where he deflects Han's blaster shot etc etc
While the packaging is nice, in essence all Hasbro have done is replace the Vintage Collection with The Black Series. They've also introduced a basic range ($10) as an alternative- these only feature basic articulation.
picked up Darth Plagueis. Just had to get him when I found him
I saw wave 2 of the six inch line at both big w and target yesterday for those interested in picking them up
