Two words: Noa Briqualon.



This might be one of our few chances to see Mr. Wilford Brimley immortalized in plastic. Don't waste it.

Although it would be a collector-oriented release, it would obviously be a peg warmer. And what kid would want to play with this?!

I find it strange how Hasbro would use the same 2007 TAC Mace Windu sculpt twice in the same line: Mace Windu, and Roth del-Masona. Almost like how the 500th Vader figure was used in the TSC twice. I'm also disappointed that Windu's/Masona's bottom tunic is still plastic, it really restricts leg movement. It would be nice if either it's a softer plastic so there's more movement, or if Hasbro had opted for soft goods.

And has anyone noticed that Jango's outfit is still purple? How many more times will it take for Hasbro to get it right? Maybe next release....

So was Tholme's right leg a fake one or not? There's a pic of him in a Republic comic in a medical frigate with his leg stretched out, and it has a metal casing over it. He says that he'd rather not get a cybernetic leg because it'd make him something he's not, but at the same time, the leg looks pretty much like a prosthetic.

Darth Vader and Palpatine were the villains of the OT. But come PT, we're introduced to Maul, Dooku, Aurra Sing, Zam Wesell.....

So, with that said, who's YOUR favorite villain(s) of the prequel-era?

My top 4 are (in order):
1. Asajj Ventress: C'mon. A cool backstory, evil look, sad ending, and sadistic, evil, Sith-fantascizing chick with two lightsabers? One of the most tragic villains of the EU.

2. Darth Maul: Sith Lord with a cool lightsaber and tattoos. 'Nuff said.

3. General Grievous: this Jedi-killing machine is one of the most creative additions to the SW story.

4. Count Dooku: Was he really evil? A Jedi-turned-Sith who had some realistic thoughts on the Republic. Palpatine made him the monster he was.

When you think about it, Ep. 1 wasn't that bad. Lucas has stated that the Star Wars Saga is about Anakin/Vader. Ep. 1 did a good job of showing us Anakin's first step, and why he's afraid of losing his loved ones. Also, we are introduced to the story of the Sith ... and we see the first phase of Palpatine's plans for the galaxy! And, you, got to admit, Darth Maul was a pretty darn cool character....

I'm really digging Plo Koon.  I love the fact that he's got his saber gauntlet thingy, very cool looking weapon/accessory.

I'm not too thrilled with Dooku though.  Something about his overexaggerated nose/face just looks goofy to me.

The Plo Koon figure was impressive, and his guantlet will be featured with TLC Wave 11 Plo Koon. Count Dooku's cape should have been soft-goods...it's just a big, goofy plastic cape. The Asajj Ventress figure was great, and she's just crammed with accessories. The Destroyer droid is barely articulated. The IG-86 droid and C-3PO are the most articulated of the wave.

I was disappointed to see in the same response that confirmed the Snowspeeder Luke that a new Han in carbonite isn't in the works.  Drat!

It'd be nice if a Carbonite Han could be included with a better Leia as Boussh. The 2006 TSC version was way too tiny, but it was okay....

The Snowspeeder Luke is indeed very impressive. And was he wearing the skull cap in the ESB? Was it featured on the Snowspeeder Luke from the 2007 Ultimate Battle Pack?

I've got a seriously good idea... whattabout a SITH APPRENTICES set!

Darth Zannah (to go with 2008's Bane)
Darth Sidious (Sith Apprentice, as seen in The Ultimate Guide to the Force
Darth Krayt (this one can be from Legacy when he's a bounty hunter, after his duel with Obi-Wan)

And what about a DOOKU'S ACOLYTE'S set?

Kadrian Sey (from the comics)
Asajj Ventress (all new SA, since the CP version wasn't)
Komari Vosa (w/ Asajj's saber ... since Dooku gave Asajj Vosa's)
