Will there be 12" figures for Episode 3?

(1/15) > >>

Snively Bandar:
I sporadically collect the 12" line, and was wondering if there was any Episode 3 news on it lately (Comic Con, etc)?  It seems like the 12" line has really been fizzling out of late, aside from the three VOTC figures, so I've been growing a little concerned over the fate of this line.  I figured an Episode 3 release would give it enough of a shot in the arm that perhaps they'd pump out some new OT figures as well.

What would you guys want to see in an ROTS 12" line?  Obviously a new Vader goes without saying.  Grievous would certainly be interesting, and potentially cool if he was done well.  What else?

Nicklab:
I definitely understand the concern regarding the 12" line.  It's getting less and less market share as time goes on.  I think the truth is that interest in this part of the Star Wars line is just fizzling out.

As for a ROTS 12" line, I think we'll see the following:

-Obi-Wan Kenobi
-Anakin Skywalker
-Yoda
-Darth Sidious
-Padme (hopefully one that actually looks like her)
-Grievous
-Darth Vader
-Clone Trooper
-Royal Guard
-Wookiee Warrior?

Darth Broem:
My interest is there for the line.  However, Hasbro has to attempt a better variety of figures IMO.  For the OT line where is Hammerhead, Weequay. Oola, Probe Droid, Leia Bespin Gown, Jabba the Hutt, Max Rebo Band, Yak Face, Ephant Mon, EV-9D9.  I realize some of those are minor characters but it's better than a steady diet of Luke, more Luke, and then some more Luke, with another Han, another Kenobi, etc. 

DSJ™:
I would like to see more 12" figures done. As mentioned, not much has been done with the line except with the VOTC. 

A Grievous figure would just rock if done right, new Clone Trooper, Darth Vader sort of a Birth of Vader (removable helmet), Wookiee Warrior.  8)

Ephant Mon would be nice, it would be heavier than the Gamorrean Guard.  ;D

In the link below it talks about the possible new line up for 12" figures for 2005.
 
POSSIBLE SPOILER INFORMATION IS BELOW:

I like the fact that they are going with Bariss and Aayla but I had better get a decent Padme in this mix as well.  I'm hoping for the speeder bike Leia body so they will have at least have articulation.  Tough call on the faces but since both have paint it might help with the similiarity.  As for the Grevious and Anakin, well that's really a no brainer.  I just hope Grevious has a ton of articulation (as does Anakin).
