That Clone Commander looks great. Possibly one of the best figures I've seen yet!

Is it me or does the AT-TE gunner have the dreaded "Action feature hips"? 

He still looks fantastic action feature or not. :o

That's it.  There's no escape now.   :)  These are fantastic.  They just get better and better.

No, I think it's something that might actually be the next step we needed in SA articulation - look again at the hip joints. They're slightly rounded. I think they could be ballsockets, so they can move outward from the hip like VOTC Luke. This is a serious winner.

And I'm still trying to figure out the skirt piece on Shaak Ti. Looks like soft goods, but that's the most complex material I've ever seen used. Shockingly cool!

Makes the Collection 1 stuff look even worse than before.

Yeah I'm really floored by some of the Collection 2 figures.

Just think what Star Wars as a line would've been like had E1 and E2 had quality backing them like this?!?!?  I'll tell you what, I'd have been a tad more forgiving at least. :) 

Hasbro's taken things up a notch with E3.  Good for them, though it sucks royally that they "see the light" 10 years after the line's beginning.  I more than ever want resculpts of old figures though, if this is what it would be like.

These look fantastic... and Mas Amedda really rocks the house as well.  Man he looks pissed!

But that Clone is going to be right up there with the tops on my list... I can't believe how damn cool it looks.  Damn I am seriously going to be laying out some cash this summer on Star Wars - more than ever before.  Damn!!!   :)

Seriously, if they start pumping out this kind of quality after ROTS dies down in their resculpts and all new figures from the other films, I think the demand will definitely be there for the line to continue for many years to come.

 :P

Wow! These are some seriously cool figures.  And finally, some "new" figures, not just E3 versions of background Jedi.   I love all the clone troops.  I just wish that the Seperatist army was made up of more than droids we've seen before.

I'm hoping that after ROTS Hasbro continues with smaller amounts of figures, but with this high quality...

Please excuse my losy typing these days, it's done mostly with a 4 month old in one arm!---Mike

GH.com has some nice high-res shots up including a spoiler-ish one for Shaak Ti...

However, while there's a panic already over this "feature", her carded figure seems to NOT have the same feature, or it's covered up or plugged with something while the loose shot of her shows the feature clearly.

Ponderings?

BTW, my jaw really hit the floor looking at the high-res shot of the AT-TE Gunner.  isn't he just a basic Clone with a shoulder pad and some other accessory packed in, and no action feature?

He rocks though...  I mean, holy ****.  If E2 had been this thought-out I'd have been a much happier man the past 3 years.

Huh?  What spoiler-ish feature? 

I've seen a few people say this, but I don't "see" anything... I must be missing something.   :-\

Look at her chest and think about QuiGon.

If it has a plug, great. If not, I'm still not really upset. Are people upset with the feature itself detracting from the scupt, or are they pissing and moaning about seeing spoilers on figures before the movie?

I have a strong feeling the majority of the figs I buy will be Collection 2 Army Builders.... Is that good or bad? :-\

Also, is it just me, or does that AT-TE Tank Gunner have ball-jointed legs?

I'm looking and looking and all I see is shadow from boobage.

Granted I do have bad vision and have been wearing the contacts since 6am, but I just don't "see" it....  :-\

Jeff


edit - OK, I cut out the "portion" of Shaak Ti in question and played with the image a bit...



Now, I see something, but is is really "battle damage"?  :-\
