That camo deco is horrid

Why?

I found these same figures at TRU, I guess they're the same anyway.  Nabbed the last Uruk Hai for my brother...  Couldn't tell if the Aragorn was a new figure, so I got him too...  Gandalf I picked up as well, and Aged Theoden.

Nice figures but I think I'm gonna sell my collection off to my bro...  No space anymore.  And trolls just fill shelves way too much.

Like the Target Clone before I'd dig a little squad but nothing major.  Price wasn't discussed it seems?  I'd have brought that up myself.

I like the paintjob...  It looks like an urban combat unit, or night-ops...  That's a legit looking camo pattern to me though, very modern-military.  I dig it...  A lot really. 

Price will be the ultimate kick then...  With availability a close 2nd.  I'd like a 5 man team though...  That'd be nice.

Wow, lotsa speculation...

I gotta disagree in that I would NOT be happy with a re-release of the Saga Snowtrooper.  That figure wasn't much of an evolutionary step forwards over his POTF2 counterpart.  The sculpt was slightly more crisp, and he did have a holster, but his articulation they added was pretty much useless, and he had a wonky pose.  He's a rough looking army builder, most noticeable when there's 2 of him together.  They just don't look right...  Not to mention he does sport the officer's bars too, which are small details but still one more thing making him less than ideal army builder fodder.

I'm of the opinion that anything in Imperial/Clone armor should be done a-new with the super articulation treatment.  Snowtroopers and Scout Troopers are on top of that list for me though, as a classic film fan (plus repaints of prequal Clones are easily doable for both sculpts), but also because I think that both those "characters" have gotten the shaft.

The POTJ Scout simply blows...  His goofy pose, his lacking articulation, his pinhead...  He blows.  And the Snowtrooper's POTF2 incarnation is at least neutrally sculpted, but he and the Saga figure are both sub-par.

I'm not expecting it, but my ideal Hoth wave (if they're only in 3's) would be:

-Major Derlin (Toryn Farr a close runner-up though)

-Super Articulated Hoth Rebel...  Like the Snowtrooper, the Rebel figures have all sucked terribly.  The only one close to ok has been the Deluxe one and he's weak these days.  Gimme an all-new figure here, tons of articulation, proper scale, softgoods scarf...  I'd dig it.

-Super Articulated Snowtrooper...  Softgoods mask and skirt.  I'd be broke if this guy came out.  I'd have to live off raimen noodle soup just to afford my army.

Others I'd like...  Veers w/removable armor, hat, helmet, and belt.  Torryn Farr (like mentioned).  NEW Hoth Han Solo (good articulation and pose, removable hood/hat).  Brown Vested Rebel Officer (Vintage resculpt).  Snowspeeder Luke.  Snowspeeder Wedge.  Snowspeeder Dak.  Snowspeeder Hobbie.  Snowspeeder Zev.  (Hell, do one figure, then just do a pack of the Snowspeeder pilots called the Rogue Squadron Battle Pack )

Figures I know I DON'T want though?

Hoth Vader, Hoth Chewie, Probot, an astromech (with the EE packs, I'm ok on these for a while), or a repackage of any of the figures I listed that I do want.

5 droid repaints for the same price as 4 Clone repaints is at least an upgrade.  Not much of one though, and unfortunately ordering a case isn't as interesting as it was for the Clones.

I want the astromechs...  I hand it to Pawlus for a nice idea...  I prefer them released throughout the line though like the IMperial astromech or the R4 droid...  I think repainted items are a mixed bag in that the prices they garner as exclusives makes you pretty pissed off that they're just repaints, and sometimes repaints are easier to take in moderation (see any/all discussion pertaining to the "final 12" ROTS figures).

I dig it though, that we'll have all these astromechs...  I like that.  I just think that EE overprices their stuff.  I mean, if they sold the Clones at $6+ per figure when sold by the case, they obviously profited on them sold at that rate...  so was $10/figure when sold by individual 4-packs REALLY necessary?  I don't think so...  And I stick by my guns that I haven't seen ANYONE put out a shot of 90 loose E2 styled SA Clones all lined up like dominoes...  Call me crazy, but I don't think army builders jumped on that set like people want you to believe they did.

Anyway, the astromech set is a nice idea, ****** price again.  Mixed bag of nuts, like the Clones were.

Way too many holographic figures this year...  Like with repaints, holographics are ones that I like but in moderation.  1, maybe 2 a year...  Exclusive is better than wasting a peg spot too.

I'd take a nice painted Holo Emperor...  But I dunno that this interests me much when on top of it there's the Leia, there's the 2 Jedi now...  It's just meh.  Too much cheap stuff at once.

Giving Props to our man in the field, Jared, he busted ass to bring you some of the best pictures on the net of the final 12 douchebags figures from the Star Wars ROTS line. 

Enjoy these images in our San Diego Comic Con Coverage!

One of my favs, is easily Obi's R4 unit.  That's a droid you can slip into any diorama and it fits in.



& the SA 501st...  Enjoy the rest of the pics, there's an ass-load in there for ya!
