I'm not fond of Jerjerrod simply out of the lack of ANYTHING for $7...  :(  This is another Derlin situation I'm afraid. 

My thoughts exactly.

He might be a Derlin... but actually Veers seems to outsell Derlin and I think Jerrod will be more of a comparison to Veers.

But while Veers had a good amount of accesories, all Jerjerrod has is a E-11.

Looks like RS has added the carded/loose shots of C-3PO and his throne now.  Its funny, although the inside of the knees in this pic aren't "vac metal", this is really still what the VOTC C-3PO should have been.  I hope to pick up a few of these to replace others in the displays.

This Ewok Diety C-3P0 looks better every time I see it, and with that awesome chair accesory, I just might get it.

I think that is the vintage throne.  Anyone have one for comparison?

Wasn't the vintage throne released with the Ewok Village Playset?

Exactly about Veers...  He has a chest armor piece, helmet, blaster...  He looks like 2 unique figures so I'm sure that's helping him move too.  Jerjerrod has a generic imperial look going for him, that's about it.  Ozzel didn't move well so I'm thinking if Jerjerrod is distributed similarly that he'll basically sit there like a bump too...  Hell, Derlin's the first really good Hoth sculpt in a while (not counting Saga Luke's nice sculpt), and one with fan demand behind it...  He sits.  I'm thinking Jerjerrod will suffer a similar fate.

For $7, if they'd have articulated the knees on him and Derlin I'd be content with both despite their apparent lack of anything interesting going on with them.  Jerjerrod would've been a perfect chance to include a Death Star console.  Even if it's small and not accurate to the film, something like Lushros' console would've been REALLY cool and made the figure at least slightly more appealing.  As it stands he's definitely the butt sucker of the wave (repacks aside).

BTW

THat's not the vintage throne, it's a completely different design.  The Vinty throne's hand poles are an open circle with handles on the ends, and the throne seat is different...  Not the same though.

Perfect poetic summary of him. It would be nice if they had a Piett, Motti, Tarkin repaint head varients. That would make better use of the static body.
Get rid of the Holo & personalized stand for knee articulation. The money would be better spent!

Newforce put this wave up for pre-order, but lists it sequentially as the next wave, skipping over Tatooine.

I think it would be cool if each figure in the Endor wave (Except 3P0 of course) was packaged with a small piece of a modular Ewok Village, so that when you bought all the figures, you would have your own little Ewok Village.

That's a very cool idea.  But you know if they did that the price would jump.  It would certainly fit the "deluxe" type of figure nicely.
