Man, I hope we get both heads - I love the hood down look, but I'd also grab an opener to display with the "hooded" head too.

My first thought when I heard about these was also "ugh, more KOTOR crap" - you know, EU junk from video games.
Based on these pics though, I will definitely be grabbing openers for the Lady Imperial (is she Juno or Maris?), Samurai Jedi Dude, and the Battle Damaged Vader. Very impressive damage, he must take a beating in that game...

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 30AC "Vintage" Figures Thread
« on: February 10, 2007, 09:48 PM »The packages have a "Special Offer" sticker on them. What's that all about?
Earlier in the thread...
As per our Toy Fair coverage...
2007 is the year of the coin. Instead of a lame figure you mail-away for coins, I'd assume to complete the booklet, but either way that's cool to me... At least it's something that eases the $10 pricepoint a bit.

Joe Defender / G.I. Joe Toys Thread
« on: February 9, 2007, 03:23 PM »Did it say what the MSRP was??
G.I. JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO sets
(Approximate retail price of $25.00; Ages: 5 & up; Available: Summer 2007)
Sure to delight fans both new and old, 25th Anniversary Figures are all new sculpts and the most detailed and articulated G.I. JOE figures ever! Hasbro kick-offs the anniversary with the release two special-edition sets, each containing five classic G.I. JOE characters from the A REAL AMERICAN HERO line. Characters include G.I. JOE force’s fearless patriots DUKE, SNAKE EYES, GUNG HO, SCARLET and ROAD BLOCK, as well as their slithery adversaries COBRA COMMANDER, DESTRO, STORM SHADOW, BARONESS and a COBRA TROOPER. Each pack also comes with a sound box in the shape of the G.I. JOE logo that plays the beloved theme from the G.I. JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO animated series.
G.I. JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO single packs
(Approximate retail price of $6.00; Ages 5 & up; Available: Fall 2007)
Each of the fifteen 3-3/4-inch figures – in replica G.I. JOE packaging circa 1982 – will feature new sculpts, enhanced articulation, and a base stand featuring the character’s name.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: TRU exclusive Bantha & Rancor?
« on: February 9, 2007, 01:04 PM »What else can they do?
Just to be clear, I have no problem with the Bantha, I think it's a great toy/sculpt. My problem lies solely with the $45 price tag.
The Bantha w/Tusken was $30 ten years ago and I'm not seeing why it should be 50% more expensive now... sure there is a bit of inflation, but nothing else has ever been re-released exactly the same with a 50% price jump, has it?
- They dragged the AT-AT back at pretty much the same price-point.
- They dragged the Shuttle Back at pretty much the same price point (compared to KB, not FAO),
- They keep dragging the Falcon back at pretty much the same price-point.
- They keep dragging the Republic Gunship back at pretty much the same price-point.
Other stuff that was brought back with a substantial $10-$15 price increase (like AT-ST and the X-Wing) were all spiffied up with new pack-ins (Paploo/Speederbike and Retooled Luke/Dragonsnake/Swampgrass respectively).
What else can they do? Give me some extra little pack-ins to make it worth $45, that's what I'm saying. Tusken Tent, Moisture Vaporator, something.
If it turns out to be $45 for just a Bantha repaint with a Tusken Raider repack, I'm not interested. If it turns out to be $45 for a Bantha repaint with a Tusken Raider repack with some new pack-in things added, then maybe I'll be interested...

Hmmm....
Star Wars 3.75 Bantha with Tusken Raider
Like I said before, for $44.99 it better be more than just a Bantha repaint with a Tusken Raider repack. I need something new and substantial added if they are going to get me to pay 50% more than the last Bantha I bought
