Vintage Collection Wave 17 (2012 Wave 7)
Darby:
Wow, this wave feels like 1997. Very cool to see these figures finally. Strange to see them all in one lump and all from one movie, but who's complaining. I like the CW figures, but they're just so unnecessary. Unless this is Hasbro testing the water for what will be a transition out of the animated line in the next year or two.
Jesse James:
I can't agree on the hat thing scockery... The Ten Numb hat is removable and only the earpieces are thicker. The rest was so finely formed to the head and looked fantastic. Even Dllr Nep's helmet is ultra thin and removable. I think it looks fantastic, and it is nice to have the feature for whatever scene you'd like the character in.
I have the same feeling on Hoth Luke... Hoth Rebel Troopers had 2 unique removable hats, and Hoth Han as well. As a feature, the lack of the removable headgear is a kick in the nuts. They can do it, and the price reflects that they should do it. To me, it's like removable vests and working holsters. It's a big step backwards in quality when they take it away, especially with today's prices.

Yeah! It does.
I might pass on TCW figures, but the others will be very welcome. My only gripe might be the Royal guard. Not sure if they got the cape quite right yet. IMHO, the best one to date was TFU guard cape.
Nicklab:
This is an awesome wave lineup! Almost every figure in this wave is one that's been on my own wishlists for some time. And the addition of the life-like Clone Wars characters adds something new to the mix.
Brian:
Like others, I'm pretty psyched for this wave as well. Some nice OT resculpts that I've been hoping for, and it is nice to get so many of them in the same wave like this. All of the figures look great, and I'm actually sort of excited for the realistic CW ones too. I know the ones they are starting with (particularly Anakin in the earlier wave and now Obi-Wan) sort of seem like been there/done that, but I can see that they're starting things off with this and I could see them building the lineup out with characters like Rex, Cad Bane, or maybe Savage Oppress, etc. A lot of the more alien (or droid) CW figures fit in reasonably well already, but I could see them hitting some of those anyways. Overall, great wave though.
