Clone Wars Figures to Have Action Features
speedermike:
First off, the ROTS figures "had action features," not all of them, but some. They were so well hidden that I don't even remember the ones that did, except and odd spinning Yoda. As for the price, new collections alwys start out high, and then drop. Didn't the ROTS figs go a buck cheaper 6-8 weeks after they came out? If you're really concerned about the scratch, don't buy them the day they come out.

That's my plan. I'll go to midnight madness, but for the ships only. I'm not going to be in a rush to pay a dollar more for figs, now with action features AND animated or hybrid style. I'd ask Hasbro to allay my fears, but I won't get an answer before this weekend, so I guess we all wait. I imagine there will be MUCH to say come Sat night/Sun morn.

I think the likelihood of getting them with realistic heads (if the rumor of realistic bodies w/stylized heads holds true) is high at some point, so personally I think I'm gonna just pass and save money... I'm not personally counting on a price decrease at any point, as I think China's impacting SW at this point, but I do think we'll get these again at some point.
I might nab the Padawan girl or something, probably mail-away for Rex too, but at this point I don't plan to go all out for figures and I don't feel real bad about it.

That's really about where I'm at too Jesse. Just NEW characters. But even then if they are TOO animated in style, I still may not pick them up.
I know many of us have been at this whole animated vs realistic debate for awhile now...It's just ONE and a HALF more days though. Then we should find out for certain.
Like you Jesse, I won't feel bad about passing on the figs if their animated style.

I'd have to agree with that too Sal... If that Padawan girl looks very animated, why bother? She won't look right on the Clone Wars shelf with AOTC Troopers I have already, my Assajj figures, etc. So forget about it... I'm not happy entirely, but why pay $8 for something I know I'm gonna look at and just feel it's out of place.
Is that OCD? I dunno...
I just know if something looks "off" on the display shelf, I tend to want it gone...
I almost dread the idea that the heads are just a hair realistic, and a hair animated, like that Armored Obi-Wan figure... I mean, then I'm just probably sucked back in to liking the line. We'll see though. :)
