ROTS FX-6 or 2-1B next year?!?!?
« on: June 8, 2007, 08:15 PM »
From Galactic Hunter:

Galactic Hunter: The team at Hasbro knows that their FX-7 was a triumph of the action figure art, and we all love droids. (We know you do. There's no shame in it!) Are we likely to see an FX-6 Droid and a Revenge of the Sith style 2-1B any time soon to complement our cool Chopper Droid and Rebuild Darth Vader figures?

HASBRO: Droids do rock the world, don't they?  What would the citizens of the Galaxy do without them?  There would certainly be more lost limbs, a lot more missing starships, and a lot less protocol.  We see their place alongside the humans and aliens of the Star Wars universe, and won't forget them come time to create the balanced figure line-up. The onces you cite are definitely on the "short list" of figures that will probably be done before too long, with a strong chance of one of them coming out next year.

Id love to see these robo-quacks! Those will look great with the chopper droids. I didnt realize how different 2-1B looks in ROTS, very cool!

Okay, I'm not jumping out of my chair, but I'll pick up 1 of each if they are made.  Cool.

Nothing too exciting but i guess 2-1B could use an update. I would prefer the FX-6 droid since we have never had one before.

I have wanted an FX-6 figure since I saw it in ROTS.  I think it would be nice to round out that scene with the 2-1B droid.

I'd love both of those!! And an update on the chopper so that he can work at the table Anakin lies on.

What's wrong with the ROTS Chopper? Besides, it's such an obscure droid, it's not likely to receive a resculpt ever again.

Regarding the chopper droid, the legs are flimsy.  A sturdier grade of plastic would be very welcome on that.

Both of these droids would be very welcome additions.  I think that Hasbro might opt for the 2-1B droid since they could probably re-use that.  That is if that should happen to be a new 2-1B sculpt.  But I wouldn't mind seeing a ROTS version of 2-1B and a TESB version.

FX-6 would be very cool.  Especially if Hasbro stayed true to the articulation and sculpting that they put into FX-7.

It'll probably be 2-1B since he could be for this scene & ESB scenes.

21-B!
Not too into the FX-6. Of course being a Hasbro SW crack addict I would buy him still......

FX-6 just looks cool. With articulated arms everywhere, I'd be a winner for me. 2-1B, however, never even realized he was in ROTS.

Sounds good, I'd pick up both if they made them.  I've kind of been hoping for a new 2-1B and putting off picking up the POTF2 version, so I wouldn't mind seeing an ESB version of the med droid.

I think 2-1B has different arms and legs in ESB.

I like both of the droids a lot but Id actually prefer FX-6 because hes just so unique and could be done so awesomely like FX-7 was.

Even though he's got different arms, he's been called 2-1B
