Unleashed figures

[Brian]

I really hope these rumors are true, it would be great to see this line make a comeback.  I agree with Mikey, please Hasbro please make the Stormtrooper a "greatest hit" sometime in the future.  The rest of the lineup looks pretty good though.  I've been hoping we'd see R2 make it into the assortment at some point, as well as ANH Obi-Wan.  The Sandtrooper will be a nice substitute if I can't ever get a hold of a Stormtrooper - and speaking of which, doesn't it seem like the Sandtrooper and Greedo have gotten quite a push lately?  Galactic Heroes, basic/VTSC figures, possible Unleashed figures all in the same year.  Kit Fisto has the potential to be a real nice figure visually.

Besides Boba Fett, that is the WORST greatest hits assortment I've ever seen!  Why not re-release the Unmasked Vader?  We've already seen the Bespin version twice now!

The Yoda/Emperor figure was just out, as was Grievous!

Why not bring back Padme, Han Solo, the first Yoda and the like?

You know, the ones that the collectors are clamoring for.

Edit - I bet those ANH figures coincide with the 30th Anniversary of the movie next year.

Consider it just a "rumor list" at this point...

What no Qui Gon Jinn?? I sure hope this rumor is true. Although thanks to ebay Im now 100% complete (Unmasked Vader)

[Ben]

This is great if it's true. I'm sure the Stormtrooper would be rereleased eventually.

This reminds me that I have yet to pick up Asajj, Aurra Sing, and IG-88.

That's prob. my next step to get complete too. How much did you cash out for yours MJ?

This is definitely good news.  Here's to hoping that it's true.  The selections look promising.  Especially an ANH Ben.  Kit Fisto is a great choice, too.

Why re-tool Maul?

The first version does pretty well on the secondary market - hell, I would just bring it back with the new "artwork" package and call it a day.

[Nicklab]

There have been a number of collectors who thought that the first Maul didn't really capture the character very well.  I tend to agree with them.  Add in the invariably sagging lightsaber and hilt, and I have no problem with a new version of Darth Maul.

Funny, I've never had a problem with sagging

I got on loose for 75 bucks shipped. Not too bad but still expensive.

[Darth Slothus]

That's really good , Rob. I can only hope to find one that low on card.

You will.

Im really glad I opened these from the get go. I would kill myself if I had to shell out 150+ bucks on a carded one.

I'm having problem with my loose figures in regards to the metal pegs (you know the ones in the feet) bending.

The figures are too heavy and causing the metal pegs to bend and now they won't stand up straight.

Anyone else having problem?  Specifically Luke Hoth and Obi Wan ROTS.

I'll post some pics tonight.

[Brian]

I've had a lot of problems with the Luke Hoth figure, as far as the metal pegs bending.  I found a way to reposition him (turning the figure to the side), and haven't had any problems since.  But, when I originally "assembled" the figure with the base the proper way, he was almost laying flat after awhile.
