I can't stand the horrible arm articulation!!

Agreed.  The new legs look pretty good, but why stick with those attrocious arms...

Hey, it could have been worse. Hasbro could've just repacked the '02 Rebel Trooper with its pre-posed legs instead of giving us SA legs. Besides, the arms have some articulation, albeit not the most practical.

I'm loving the Millenium Falcon Gunner though. I normally don't buy Rebel troops, but that's such a super-obscure figure, and I think it looks pretty cool.

The complaints about the Gunner are simply baffling. Don't people have imaginations anymore?

That's the problem.  I've imagined what was under the helmets of Stormtroopers, Gunners and various other masked characters since 1977.   And it doesn't match this.  So it is my imagination that makes it so hard to stomach all the PT run over into the OT...

I love the removable helmet, all helmets should be removable, but they shouldn't reveal clones.  Save that for the 65 Clone figures that come out and clog the case assortments.

It's similar for me, but I wasn't quite born yet in 77'.

A lot of these changes Lucas had made to the OT to make it fit the PT I don't like... chief among them is dubbing Temura Morrison's voice over all of the troops voices - and over Fett's voice.

It just doesn't mix with the last 20 years of star wars fandom for me.

I'm all about removable helmets and bonus features, but I'm not interested in mushing the PT into the OT.

I thought Temuera's voice was only used on Fett- not the Stormtroopers.

The trooper's voices haven't been dubbed over...  Which is every reason to not like Hasbro taking creative license with the likeness under the dome to me.  Should've been a generic face IMO.  The Scout appears to be just that so why not the Gunner ya know?  Oh well. :(

Am I the only one here who does not think that the DS Gunner's head looks like a Jango clone? 'Cause it doesn't.

 :P :P

I've only watched the DVD's from last year once, but I could have sworn...

I guess I was mistaken.

Soon,maybe for all of  ANH & some of the ESB voices,but not the ROTJ just becuase  the clones would probally be old geezers by then. ;)

I didn't think it looked anything like him either.

Given some of the face sculpts of late, that doesn't mean much.

I think Hasbro's trieing to do a late tie in to BF II,becuase the 501st technicians during the Empire wore DS Gunner armor.

Also anymore sightings?I'm thinking of going out soon & may pick up these 4 new figures.
