Title: How Many TSC Naboo Flight Crew Are In Your Army?
Post by: Reid on October 12, 2006, 10:10 PM
I think a figure this good deserves it's own thread. Still haven't seen it in my neck o' the woods, hope he isn't HTF. So, how many TSC Naboo Flight Crew are in your army?

I've managed to get my hands on four.  I can't imagine getting more than 6 total  ;)  Not a bad for custom purposes.

I picked up one.

I doubt I'll open more than 1 more unless they switch out the heads.  They're not clones afterall.

I have 2, the only 2 I've seen...  The only figures from the wave I've seen really.

I'm gonna nab a handful, and a customizing one, and that'll be it.  I figure 10 tops, probably less though as I'd buy just about any other army builder before this one first.  It's ok, it's just not outstanding, and had some hidden drawbacks to it actually, for me.

I have two and two is all I need. I've actually picked up a few extras and traded them away for imperials.

This is the only figure I've seen from this wave, and it looks like a big orange turd.

I'm usually a sucker for background guys like this, I'd usually buy at least two, but I've passed on all four I've seen.

What a hideous nightmare.

If I ever find one on clearance I'll get it, though, as the body is perfect ICMG custom fodder.

I'm with Paul and Sprry, not a fan.  I'll keep passing on him for Rep Beens and Endor Rebels until I get bored one day and possibly eventually pick one up.

..Then you'll realize his true potential and buy him in multiples.

Don't like it at all...I'll save my money for the eventual re-release of the VOTC Stormtrooper...A real army builder.

The TSC Naboo Flight Crew is as good, if not better, a army builder as the VOTC Stormtrooper.

Unless they are A- A Trooper w/ a helmet or a droid or B- A trooper w/ a head variaton, it won't be a very favorable ABer.

The facts that the VOTC Stormie has ball/socket waist, ball/socket ankles, ball/socket elbows, and a greater range of motion at the knee and neck joints make it better...  that's not getting into sculpt issues.

I'm sorry man, I just can't see that at all short of simply liking the character of the Naboo whatever-he-is more than Stormtroopers.  VOTC Troopers are just a better action figure.

I saw him only once so far and passed on him, just like I'll do everytime I see him. I just think the sculpt is horrendous and fugly.

I have one. I have seen a total of 3 but one is plenty. He isnt as bad as the pics originally made him appear, but he aint too pretty neither.

Ugly!

I saw it in person, looked at it for all of 3 seconds, and tossed it back on the pegs. I couldn't find a trash-can nearby! (In retrospect I should have looked in housewares.)

Post by: darthmac on October 16, 2006, 01:35 PM
I would assume once this wave really starts showing up in numbers, the pegs will have more of this guy than any collector.  Personally I have no interest in this guy what so ever.

He is a decent scrub figure not worth owning more than 2.
Whats really funny is they sculpted the actors turkey giblet double chin! Look at  the movie photo and then the figure twinkie city!

I am buying an extra Naboo soldier and Black Endor Trooper to make the Bespin Ice Cream Guy. Its the perfect Willrow Hood.

The Commtech Stormie is good enough for me.  ;) Besides, I have a whopping 2 VTSC Biker Scouts, methinks that'll compensate for my lack of VOTC Stormie.

I've got 6 total (some for keeps, some for customs).  I've passed on least 4 more at this point. 

I tried to pop a black endor rebel head on the body to take a shot at ICMG but the neck post ball joint is too small on the Naboo solider.

Yes, yes there is. When I'm customizing and this happens to me, i use wirecutters to get the neck post ball joint off of one body, krazy glue it on to the other, and pop the head on. works like a charm  ;D . some of my creations will probably be on thecustomalliance in a matter of weeks just sent them to curto.

I wasn't trying to imply that it wasn't possible, just pointing out that it wasn't a simple head switch based on the ball joint size  ;)

I've successfully removed Saga Endor Rebel soldier heads. Perhaps you need to let them boil longer. :P

Still sitting on one myself, although it does seem like everyone else in my area is sitting on "Zero."  The local TRU, who it should be noted are having a "Free Figure with a 19.99 or more purchase" sale this week, have about 20 of them hanging on the pegs.  People are taking Jerjerrod and Lushros Dofine before this guy.

Still at zip.  Still hate it.  Passed on about 30 to date.  In addition to all my other criticisms of the figure, I now want to add that it's about 1/2" short as well.

I AM on the ICMG bandwagon. I signed the petition for him! While this is a good custom idea, Hasbro will definitely be using this body and the Rebel head when they 'make ICMG eventually' as they put it in a recent QnA. So, I'll pass and wait a couple years.  ;)
