After seeing the pics from vakface on facebbok about Logray, we appreciate his primary evolution rests on articulation, cause is teh more posable medicine man from the 3 releases.

The paintjob is a very good update, giving special credit for the selection of colours.
But between potf2 and tvc Logray the bands on arms diminished from 4 to 3
the face of the character is predominently brown, seems they didnīt follow strictly the photo
no matter, is an interpretation

when size diminishes they dimish stripes on the body too. In contrast the weapons and pack are better sculpted than ever.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: TSC Recent Acquisitions
« on: June 15, 2011, 08:28 AM »
yesterday I bought the vtsc Han Solo in Trench coat (rotj) original release. I always try to buy the first version of a figure and avoid repacks, cause they omit some paint applications frequently on the reissue.

5 years after the launch of this figure, seems to be a durable interpretation of the character.

This black rebel commando got the necessary changes to a decent tvc variation
-comes with a beige trench coat, instead of the green from the bald white guy.
-His head looks different from the saga 2006 short black guy
Only hope sculptors have corrected the posture of the tvc white guy, which looks kinda hunchback without his coat and backpack. I understand this posture is motivated to attach these accesories, but must ne improved if Hasbro pretends to reissue this mold.

This evening I picked up the TVC Twin pod Cloud Car Pilot, at E.Wong in Lima, Perú
The figure costed 35 soles or 12.6 US $ in exchange.

This is part of a clearance sale, cause this esb wave marked 69.70 soles last Christmas.

Hi guys

Just look at sandtroopers news on the Y wing

Cool evolution of the vehicle! No matter is the same 1999 mold
Nice paintjob ever, the metal bronze parts of the structure, enhance the appreciation of its volume.
Very well done application of diferent shades of gray for the body, landing gears and missile bomb.

The cockpit shows the best updates: the movable radio with its extension, the steer and some panels with buttons

I hope this interior will serve  to an update of the X wing interior cockpit, on a new biggest X wing of course.

141

I think about some Bespin guards (caucasian and afroamerican) which could come with an open jacket feature for army build.

Also I would like to have a new Rebel Endor Commando that updates the all green suit, perhaps a soldier with an extra piece for belt and bandolier, an accurate paintjob on camouflage.

A resculpt of the OT Tusken, Sand people, if this comes with sofgoods, more definition on the rob.

Would like to see an update of the pdt-8 if the re-release isnīt possible
Pdt is the basis for an evolution onto Hoth Sledges, is how Hasbro Kenner interpret them.

The new speeder bike is also on schedule, hope to see how they will depict the hoover motion. Is a challenge for sculptors as they probably dispense with the clasic speeder bike legs.

143
Only a question guys, about these waves
And forgive me if I skip the trend a little

I have the Darth Vader from tlc
I havenīt bought the vintage style 3 pieces helmet update

As I looked on teh web all this time...
It seems that the only wave to remove the collar (the 3dr piece) is to
first remove the head.

So some reviews tell this instructions

remove head
separate collar
reinsert head without collar.

Is it the way this proceed or there is another way to remove the collar
without separating Vaderīs head?

Thanks in advance

Collect All 92! / Re: Princess Leia Organa (Boushh Disguise)
« on: May 24, 2011, 08:17 PM »
Always as a kid during vintage time, I thought Boushh weapon was an unusual rifle, cause the handle at the bottom (sort of an imperial rifle handle) gave it that connotation.

I only got potf2 version, but Iīll be glad to acquire the other versions sometime

I thing a tvc update would focus on a correction of the legs likeness, perhaps less angular, with a softened shape.
Also a slighty taller Boushh for a tvc update would be welcome.

Perhaps is the b-wing from dark horse comics, repainted and with the last update of the cockpit (buttons and panels on sculpt)

146
This superb sculpt of the upcoming taun taun deserves a superior paintjob: Not only the shades of grey, brown or beige on the fur, but colour for the nails (on hands and feet), the eyes with iris and the interior of the ears pink.

Weīre dreaming on a definitive Hoth Luke, with removable hat, binoculars, lightsaber, working holster: Perhaps he will be the wide stance version (unless his articulation resembles the balljoints for tvc Bespin Luke or tlc Dewback sandtrooper)
and later we could buy the figure with more natural stance on retail.

Collect All 92! / Re: Gamorrean Guard
« on: May 9, 2011, 01:31 AM »
Vintage Gamorrean was a decent interpretation for that time. Stand up, not so wide stance, firm, with an accurate axe.
The naif interpretation is the vestige of an era we lived and supported as collectors when kids.

I celebrate all the updates of tvc Gamorrean, he has movable head, removable helmet, soft goods piece, is more wider than the original, and you can pose his arms in a way suggesting that he swing them when walking, even if his hands are holding weapons.
Only seems that his torso is kinda shorter compared to vintage or potf2 torsos of the same character.
The paint job is movie accurate, and could be the base for slightly variants of this figure in the future, like a taller
Gamorrean with a larger torso.

The Legacy Collection '08-'10 / Re: Willrow Hood
« on: April 29, 2011, 11:20 PM »
I canīt fancy Willrow Hood body enough fat for an updated Porkins.
Hood is fat only at belly area, but potj Jek Porkins completed that fat structure better.
 I understand that Hood body can adapt to an harness, considering the current need to economize material.

But, potj Porkins helmet was well depicted with its microphone.

This means a redefinition on scale, but big guys would remain huge. After that diminition in size, there will be come a reduction of Wuher based on a smaller guy body (perhaps the reuse of Hood)

Only a humble opinion, in the art of sculptors variations are a matter of interpretation.

Nice Review: highly detailed

It is a new figure with accurate depiction of clothes, character and weapons.

The separate piece of leg strap for charges is a revolutionary tool, applicable in the near future for rebel pilots figures.

The poseability of the figure is also very enjoyable.

Picked up my tvc AT-AT Commander, at last.
Bought at Wong in Lima for 34.95 soles, nearly 10 dollars.
