Thanks JR. The helmet does not have a circle on the back, so that's one more nod toward original.

Pics look great, I'm very impressed, but I do have one question:  why does Garindan have a vastly superior holster than does Han?  That just strikes me as weird.  I'm extremely pleased with the Garindan figure, make no mistake, I'm in the camp that didn't think we needed another but I am thrilled with the result.  But is there a reason Han must suck so badly?

Hasbro just has it bad for that Cantina sculpt.  I did like that figure when it first came out but talk about beating a dead horse.  Man.  Hopefully the one later on in the year will be a new sculpt?  We'll see. 

That brings up a good point. Do we really want a new ANH Han sculpt every year? Granted, the VOTC sculpt can't be improved upon too much, but I don't think they can offer that to us as a basic figure yet. I mean really, how many ANH Han scuplts do we need?

Please merge if the topic already exists. I have not been able to master the search feature here.

I just picked up a loose Luke Stormtrooper. It is the last Vinatge figure I need (not including Vinyl Jawa and the DT's.) Anyway, I'm in need of expert assistance to make sure I got the original helmet and weapon.

First, the helmet. I'm reasonably confident it's real, but never having even held one I new to be %100 complete, I just wanted to make sure. I'm confident it's real because it has slight pait wear and dirt/discolorization seems to have invaded the seams (slightly.) The helmet is also hard, which I wasn't expecting. I kind of thought it might be like Boushh's helmet. Any thoughts or test that I can do? Things I should check to test it's authentisity?

Now the Blaster. I am well aware that Luke's has a unique color tint. However, after comparing his blaster to the many I have, there seems to be several tint variations. Can anyone give me a dead bang comparisson? At first I thought it was the right one, now I'm not so sure.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Good review as always. I have to agree. I was okay with this figure until the Evolutions Anakin came out. After wearing a Rolex, a timex just isn't the same.

For as much as I'm a fan of the movie and have been waiting for the DVD, I had no idea when it was coming out until yesterday.

Hammerhead (or Momaw if you prefer) - This is a figure I never picked up in the POTF2/Saga days, just waiting to see if it would be re-done. 

R5-D4 - What can be said...we've all been waiting for this one. 

Garindan - Another POTF2 figure I held off on, and again, I'm glad I did. 

Now that's Faith!

Now that I look at the picture again, I've decided that this is too good to be true, and therefore the final product will, in fact, include two AT-TE Gunner molds with the helmets glued down.

I'm not listening, LA, LA, LA, LA........

I can see finding lots of sets with the #6 clones returned.
