Star Wars Rebels / Re: Star Wars Rebels Toy Rumors!

To scale is around 8' long. 
I can picture them marketing a 30" version.

Lily's become a bad-ass. Hope she returns.
Tyrese, so far, is pitiful. Stayed away from the comics so I don't know how the 2 versions compare.
All the Gov's minions deserved to die. Mitch made a really good a-hole and whose death was really fist-pump and high-five inducing.
Little Lizzie isn't as "weak" as her kid sister claimed she was. Damn, center of the forehead. No hesitation.

Not so sure about no or little cognitive ability. During the barn slaughter, the zombies seemed to maneuver ok over fallen bodies.
A couple of episodes back, during the scenes of Carol murdering Ty's lady and dragging her body, did we see flashbacks of what actually happened or a peek into Rick's head as he imagined how the deed might have played out? Anyway, as she dragged the body, I noticed "something". But the scene was so quick I couldn't put a finger on it. (I dozed off on the second showing.) Then I saw a frame capture on the WD thread at the other site which shows what appears to be a second set of hands helping pull the body! My guess is Lizzie's younger sister.
Ty as a master, uh, hammerman, isn't working for me the way it's being depicted. In one scene it takes 2-3 blows to the head to take down one of the zombies.

That initial batch came and left real quick and I haven't seen a refresh since. If you see the foam role play battle-axe hanging on the pegs then you can bet the figures made an appearance already.

« on: February 22, 2013, 07:45 PM »
NECA's kicked ass on this line. Not into buying a scale other then the 3-3/4" otherwise I'd be all over these. I did get the predator hound 'cause that actually works well as a beast in my little Star Wars world.

Would love me some well-made Dr. Who figures in 3-3/4" 'cause... well, Jenna-Louise Coleman is smokin'.
The toys were shown at the London Toy Fair at the end of January. Here's someone's youtube vid of the various lines.

a few pics of the 3-3/4". http://www.doctorwhotoys.net/news.htm
The Dalek and Cyberman look worthy of being displayed next to Hasbro's SW. Not so the the humans. The face sculpts are decent but the rest of the body lack the "life" that Hasbro's able to inject in SW. They are about on par with Playmates 5" Star Trek.
Haven't read if these will hit brick-and-mortar in the US.

5 SB and 2 WS championships in the last 3 years, and not one of those lessen the sting of the loss.
As for the outage... Components wear out and fail. I'm sure they'll do their investigation, and if they conclude the breakdown happened because of shoddy work or maintenance wasn't kept up, then maybe someone will have to answer for it. Otherwise, shtuff happens.
Oh, yeah -- Wow, Beyonce's still hot.

Kinda like a komodo dragon's saliva. Gotta figure a decaying corpse will have all sorts of septic bacteria in its mouth. Could be that the non-fatal bite that eventually kills has nothing to do with the zombie pathogen.

Joe Defender / Re: BBTS Exclusive 7-Pack Battle Packs
« on: February 24, 2012, 01:55 AM »
Came across the Resolute battle sets at Ross today. SF Bay Area. $16.99/pack.
My Joe purchases are pretty much for the occasional custom fodder when they're on clearance so I never checked these out online. Am surprised they're based on an animation series since the face sculpts don't look cartoony at all.
Would've been nice if Scarlet's noggin wasn't so big, though.

Hope I didn't post this in the wrong thread.

Picked up Tomar-Re with the scorpion thingy and singles of Sinestro and the toad looking lantern -- Mr. Green or something.
Nice custom fodder as Star Wars denizens.

I picked up a handful and will probably get the rest eventually. The best one is Marty. How cool is that? A figure of a little person with a Chinese hat-wearing monkey as an accessory!
Sao Feng is nice, though I wish they didn't give the robe a wind-blown look. The one in the deluxe pack is nicer. And the cannon looks sharp. Overall, the deluxe this go-around is better than previous ones. The Swann figure makes a perfect dignitary for those wanting to populate their Star Wars dioramas.
