Well, when we're getting two figures (and a comic) for $10, you can't expect all of them to be brand new.

We have already gotten quite a few packs where both figures were completely new sculpts, so Hasbro also needs to find some ways to reuse parts when they can, to balance the cost. Personally, I think they're handling these kitbashes very well so far. Especially the Commando/SBD pack. I'll definitely be getting several of those.

Yeah but the babies are now wrapped in different colored blankets and Bail and OWK have soft good bits.

Really!? I thought he was weird looking clone.
I don't follow the comics. I've only read a Empire series TPB about Leia from the library.

Some moron has been ID'ing that set as Mouse and Able.  Mouse is the Duros in the set, so by default people seem to be calling the human Able. 

Able is in fact a Jango clone that was found by Luke, stranded on some planet as a refugee from the Clone Wars.  Able looks considerably older than any of the other clones we ever saw, but looks like Jango nonetheless.  Able went on to fight with the Rebellion.  Basso is a completely different character, and is described as a human from Ralltir.  Basso happens to appear in a number of the same comics as  Able, btw.

I was thinking he didn't quite look like the clone in the comic as I recalled him, so that makes sense then...  Able had hair and, I think, a beard.

Looks like John Brown from Harper's Ferry...  Or am I basically being a history spazz with that analogy?

At least it seems the comic packs are moving well enough (in my area) that wave 4 shouldn't have a problem being stocked once it ships.

Anakin and assassin droid: must-have.

Baron Fel and Hobbie: really nifty, and five or six years ago I would have bought it, but pass.

Bultar and Koffi: this sounded better in theory than practice. While I realize the costumes are comic-accurate, they still look goofy to me. I'll hold out for a figure of Bultar in the normal Jedi outfit:

That Baron Fel pack looks great. A nicely articulated EU Imperial, along with a Rebel army builder. Count me in for one of those babies. The Purge pack is nice, but I'll probably pass. Might get it though, I loved that comic. The Anakin/Assassin Droid pack I could care less about. This wave is looking good.

I like all of this wave, but what is the deal with non-gloved hand on Fel? Doesn't the TIE have no life-support? I only wish they would offer more of a standard to the articulation on these sets. I hate the angle cut joints and Hasbro needs to stop use it. It just offers very limited movement that it's not worth it IMO.
