no asharad? yipee! my custom WASNT useless after all!

Where did you get that?  I saw A'sharad listed with the Dark Woman in one of the comic 2-packs.

I'm pretty sure he's still coming out. Just because he's being released doesn't make your custom useless, you could always just not buy the "official" one.

I'm hoping it has 2 heads honestly...  I'd hate to hear the great debate and any anger/rage at the figure not being what people want...  That was suggested to Hasbro in a Q&A by the way, and they said it was "interesting".  Makes me wonder if they were just hinting at what they already knew or if they were shocked at the friggin' concept.

The body wouldn't need to change really, just needs 2 different heads is all...  Spirit of figures are so dull I really hope they don't milk this by leaving the option to do the "other" Anakin then.

I guess I could handle that since the Christensen character wouldn't be my first choice.

Hasbro mentioned in the Q&A sessions that if they would re-do the Spirit of Anakin Skywalker, that they would include heads for both Sebastian Shaw and Hayden Christensen.  Seems like that was a not-so-veiled hint.

Thanks for remembering Nick!

On the 2 heads issue with Holo figures...

I wonder, then, if Hasbro has entertained 2 heads for Asharad Hett? One wrapped in Tusken attire and another with his exposed, human, Tatooed face? In the least Hasbro could go with a removeable helmet type Tusken mask to expose the human face. Suppose I'm asking for too much considering the way hasbro is accessorizing/detailing figures this year?

That would be awesome, but i think that is asking for too much.

With the cost of figures, and them not being more articulated then they were when ROTS fig came out I don't think you're asking for too much.

Most years and, considering Hasbro's past at doing first time figures (you don't get everything first time)..I would agree with Evenflow. However, considering all the new figures due out (first time done and look great-- IE MC Fett) and projected figure prices(thanks purge ;)) IMO it's not entirely unlikely for a change.

EDIT: I posted the Hett Q in the 'Q for Hasbro' thread but...I highly doubt it will be forwarded/or the mostly useless thread gets canned first due to Hasbro quitting it/whatever comes first :P :(.

Anyone else think that the (apparently) upcoming Lando Smuggler figure might be a perfect opportunity for a head- and palette-swap into a new Han Ceremony figure down the line at some point?

I wouldn't even swap the head.  Just paint it a different color.

No...little known fact...Lando did not wear pants when he piloted the Falcon...I'd like my figures as accurate as possible

Good point.

[anecdote]My mom used to work at a TV station, and she'd tell us how she always got a kick from seeing the "talent" walk around with these nice jackets and ties and blouses and such on top, while wearing shorts and flip-flops and ratty old jeans and such on bottom.[/anecdote]
