Though of course they are much more expensive. I have Kylo Ren, 1st Order Trooper from TFA, and of the original Black Series: Obi Wan, Darth Maul and Anakin. Maul and Kylo tie for my fav's so far, and can not wait for Ahsoka to come out!

My local TRU had what I thought were 2 boxes of TFA Series 2 6inchers, but on closer inspection they were only boxes of 1st Order Snow Troopers
Yeah, I'm hoping to get some money for Black Series figures for Christmas.

I was initially excited at the idea of Action Masters, even though I knew that they couldn't transform. I was hoping that they'd be at least as well articulated as G.I. Joes... then I bought my first Action Master and it all went downhill from there.

I personally really liked how Star Wars toys became well articulated during the late 90s and early 00s, but have been disappointed at the ever declining level of articulation in SW toys in recent years. Just as well I don't collect SW toys anymore. I had a play with some of the Force Awakens figures during the EB Games Expo, and I'm not hugely impressed. I haven't seen any of the Black Series figures though.
I get your point, but I'm still mainly going to be using the smaller figures for display, and Black Series for play.
