I'm looking forward to adding another 6-8 DS gunners to the troops. Since the helmets will always be on, the sculpt underneath is meaningless to me. I appreaciate Hasbro doing it as a means of keeping old figures new again, but I would rather the resources were put toward putting knees in Momaw and things like that.

I'm in Utah and they hit at a local Target today, though only 1 case.

Ok I was able to snag the Moff and Chief Chirpa today. I could have had 5 emperors, but PASS.

Here is a question...to is Chirpa kinda on the "small" side or do I just have "vintage-itis" when it comes to scale?  He seems diminutive, almost Wicket sized, but I could just be tainted by the old days.  I need one of the resident scale-ologists to help me out here.....Jesse?

I can pretty safely promise you that Paul didn't pass on Gunners (both because I know he wouldn't do that and because he already told me about his score) - they just didn't have any.

Crap... I was hoping the Gunner would be as plentiful as the AT-AT Driver was...

No definately did not pass on DS Gunners.

Dallas, Texas and they were at Wal Mart.

I was amazed to find them, I just went in on a whim...

I will not be passing on DS Gunners till about number 20.  I'm gonna do some head swaps (at least plan to) to make better DS Troopers and Imp Officers (the POTJ version with more articulation basically)

I'd say he's on the short side.  Wicket was one of the younger and thus, shorter Ewoks.  Chirpa should be around the same height as Teebo and Logray I think.

For anyone who has the Moff, can you compare his colors to those of Ozzel, Motti, and Veers?  A pic would be even better!  I'm just curious who he is closer in color to :-*

I think the Chirpa is pretty close, but that 1997 Wicket is entirely too big.
