Here's my toss into the ring.

1) Neutral Posed Clone with 14-16 points of articulation, removeable helmet, and extensive use of ball/socket joints (And the infamous swivel-pin joint the red clone's knee had).

2) New and poseable Zam Wessel figure minus action feature.  Includes functioning holster w/blaster, sniper rifle, removeable helmet, removeable "changeling" face, made-up new removeable face (Think Zartan figure! :) ), and 14 points of articulation.

3) Rodian Citizen. (Generic Rodian character)

4) 2nd citizen character (Different species)

5) 3rd citizen character (human, male)

6) generic human male Jedi featuring many articulation points (14 would be dandy).

7) generic human female Jedi (same as above).

8 ) Non-feature Anakin Outland Peasant

9) Yoda with removeable cloak, 2 legs, etc...

10) New red battledroid using GOOD plastic and multiple articulation points.


As you can see, E2's figures aren't of a total interest to me unless they're extreme background figures or REALLY well-done army builders.  Not the pre-posed stuff we could be seeing with Clone Wars' line.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: New JD poll: Most wanted VEHICLE!

A to-scale Sailbarge would be my choice....  Ultimately it's on my to-do list anyway, so I'd just as soon Hasbro made it if that were an option.

I too agree with Ewok though, and am under the assumption it's not gonna happen.

It's REALLY not as big as people imagine though...  Sizes are all over the board on it in referance material, but the true size (And one in 1:18 scale) wouldn't be unreasonable considering some of the stuff TRU carries.

If it needed mucho assembly (It's gonna be marketed at us, let's face it), then it would really not be that big a shelf item.  The interior's mostly air...  I'd actually enjoy this vehicle a lot.

My 2nd choice would be a to-scale AT-TE...  Much smaller than an AT-AT, and a no frills poseable toy would just be very welcome to me.  

While I don't mind the Sith Infiltrator, it's just not a vehicle I'm interested in...  Then again, not much from E1 is holding my interest anymore.  A Gian Speeder maybe...  Only because I could use it for some custom material.

Welp, that's my vote(s).

The sale sounds interesting.  I'd personally like to nab 2 of each E2 airspeeder for some fanfic custom work...  Wonder what my Local KB's are stocking these days?

Since they jacked up prices I haven't stopped in one...  Nothing new there anyway.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: New Saga TIE Fighter!

Welp,

Chalk me up for the disappointed column.  The fans have been clamoring for a properly scaled TIE Fighter (In the Solar Panel Department.  Ya know, just the kinda TIE that wouldn't look completely stupid sitting next to...

Oh, say the TIE Bomber, TIE Advanced x1, or TIE Interceptor which are all either REAL close to accurate or dead on...

Unfortunately, someone at Hasbro said "Hey, let's just fix the back end!  I mean, why put ALL our effort into this and sell TONS of them when we can do a half-butted job and sell a few!"

Eh, maybe that's a bit harsh, but I'm disappointed...  I'll buy one, and use it to, hopefully, reproduce the accurate cockpit...  Had they done it COMPLETELY nice I'd be buying at LEAST 3 of the badboy, and possibly 6 or more...  Disappointing, to say the least.

Oh well...  It is a mock-up, and it COULD change...  I'm not gonna hold my breath on it, but I always like to leave that sliver of hope until I see it in person.  

Too bad...   Really.  :(

Saga '02-'04 / Re:THIRD Imperial Officer head variant is a go!

Now if I could only find the 2 newbies, multiples of both by the way, and make casts of it. :)

They look like they may be good for hollowing out for "removeable" versions too.

I've studied the uniforms from the classic trilogy really closely, and I like that they included "Long brim" and "short brim" versions of the hats.  They're noticeable not usually in the black versions (There was generally only short brim black hats), but the grey hats had both long and short brims.

Very odd little detail about the classic trilogy, I know, but one that could indicate SOMETHING important in discerning between rank, status, or "profession" within the Empire.

The Alliance had hats that had varying length brims as well, plus a unique emblem seen in both ANH and ROTJ that is tough (Impossible really) to make out exactly.  

Lots of detail in the movies that people miss.  Maybe we'll get figures of some of these obscure characters with the lil details on them?  I can hope I suppose. :)

By the way, Hi. :D
