Pretty much the same with Matt... not to say I didn’t want Aphra. She’s a cool figure herself, nicely done, but the droids were my main motivator for this. If I hadn’t had to buy this for them though, I wouldn’t have. I’d rather them single carded or whatever. The droids are neat and the R5 especially is nice but Aphra is the best overall figure in the set and can be had later.
As far as people knowing her or not I think that’s as up in the air as every single other EU character we’ve ever gotten. I’d say she’s got a strong backing and a lot of hate and general disinterest too, but then again I don’t think 35+ y/os are that plentiful in the hobby anymore either, so eh, whatever. I’m not unhappy to own the figures in the set. If it’s a good figure I’m usually pretty content these days.
