Cool, thanks for the tip Scott! Hmm... A few observations here:
- Anakin: Apparently doesn't come with a "regular" arm/hand after all - just the robotic one. Cool touch to have the cloack removable, but it looks pretty crappy with the two big strands hanging over the front like that.
- Barriss Offee: Her entire cloak is removable! I had no idea this would be the case, but it's a nice option to achieve a different look for her if desired. I prefer it on though. Hate that dang silver magnet in her hand though. Why not just paint the magnet a flesh color?!
- Boba Fett: The fire base is indeed removable. Abnormally skinny legs... The jet pack "rocket" at the top is rather oddly shaped, and might actually be a button to trigger the oft-rumored "quick draw" action feature (oh dear). Very colorful...
- Darth Tyrannus: Looks decent, but again with the ugly silver hand magnet.
- Flying R2-D2: Retractable 3rd leg. Looks like R2's "thingee" should hopefully be staying hidden within his body and serve as a "stopper" when the more authentic magnetic grappling hook on the other end (to tow 3-PO's head) is used. Unless it serves another purpose...? The cord (string) scrolls around a peg on his back, so best keep him facing forward. Dare I comment on the new head? Just a dome with some details painted on. Not good. Might just use this figure as a fishing lure...
I'll have to wait to get these in hand before I pass final judgement on them, but overall this wave isn't terribly exciting to me. Barriss looks nice and the Boba Fett might have some potential, but the other three do nothing for me. We'll see...
