30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Who Is Left From The Cantina?
« on: September 8, 2006, 08:38 AM »
Aha ! My very favourite area of Star Wars! Really i'd say do them all but thats cheating isn't it? ;D

Here goes...

Super articulated, properly sculpted cantina band member
Brainiac
Defol
Tonnika sister(Repaint)
Mosep
Weird girl
Dr Evazan
Saurin
Reegesk(?)
Cantina dude-spacer in a yellow suit

Now,   there are some obvious ommissions to my list....

Elis
My'oom
Cz3

Also the snake/leach alien with sivrak. The thing is i think these will be made next year-(only going on rumours of course)- so i havn't included them.

Also i  think Dice Ibegon  could easily be a pack in.

The Original Trilogy / Re: Who is okay with the Changes?
« on: September 6, 2006, 07:06 AM »
With Star Wars i find more to roll my eyes about than praise. The whole Han/Greedo thing has been well explored,so just put me in the "Nay"camp reguarding that one.
The only other big dislike would be the digitised show down with Jabba in the docking bay. There are so many things wrong with this scene...repeated Greedo/Han dialouge,The tail step,Fett hanging around with a group of pea green motorcycle leather wearing extras....just wrong.

Having vented all that some changes are geniune improvements. All the subtle tweaks,refinements and new hues to old fim stock look very nice indeed!  R2 about to encounter the Jawas,The lumbering Sandcrawler,Luke looking wistfully at binary sunset -these are all inprovements.

The final kind of change leaves me feeling ambiguous. An example would be the expansion of Mos eisley. On the one hand it's a great testament to Lucas' flair for peripheral detail. On Another this new industrious spaceport takes away from the impact of solitary tribes defending thier turf and eeking out an existence with whatever resources they can. Why buy half broken product from Jawa when you can nip into the old speeder and whizz down to Mos "The Mall" Eisley?.


With "Empire" almost everthing is a worthwhile addition, The only major exception would be Morrison becoming Boba. Quite frankly his "Clone" heart just isn't in it!


Jedi's changes don't bother me as its a film can take or leave.

Mine would have to be Defel from the cantina intro. However it's a real outside bet because that particular alien has all but been cut from the film.
Otherwise Cz1 or 3....but i think we will get him in 2007.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Marvel Comic and EU 2-Packs

I think a lot of next year will probably have that "old OLD" audience in mind.
Still, lets wait and see.

Never mind the EU angle ,these will be released for the 30th of "A New Hope".
And,as such, they are a nice little time capsule to a year of hysteria and wonderment. :)

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 30th Anniversary Tin Collector Set
« on: July 20, 2006, 10:05 AM »
I know what you mean. it's just that i suppose having already done the early bird set they are approaching it from a different angle this time.

Also it's a celebration,surely the Modal nodes are the ultimate intergalactic party band! 8)

I hope the Modal nodes are at least retooled- the costume for the fan club ones wasn't that accurate. Super articulation would be nice 'course ;D



EDIT-Just been thinking that if Hasbro are giving us so many premium figures( Evo and votc) in these tins surely the old sculpt Bith is increasingly unlikely. Yeah Hasbro love a rehash but you have to ask yourself...why are they bieng so hush  hush about simple rehash? ;)

Saga Collection '06 / Re: New rumor list!
« on: July 19, 2006, 05:18 AM »
What on earth has this got to do with the 30th aniversary of a new hope.?

Perhaps in addition to all these troops we will get the Yavin wave with some other stuff like Cz3 and Bom Vimdim?

Hey Hasbro! / Re: Battle on Utapau
« on: July 17, 2006, 09:05 AM »
There is a solid chance we will see the airborne trooper next year...although i'm just going of the Hasbro Q&A , after all there is a big difference between-

"Wait and see"

and....

"We currently have no plans to make this figure." :)

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: McQuarrie and Other Concept Figures
« on: July 17, 2006, 08:47 AM »
Very excited about the concept figures! Chewbacca should be rather fine,i've always rather liked that initial design.

My money will be going on concept ahead of EU, although i'm not an EU hater on principle...i just find it visually so divorced from George, Ralph and joe's vision that it always seems like a different gallaxy or parralel universe - taking it's cues from D & D and modern star treck.
