1. Is "old Anakin" part of the normal Vader figure or is it a chase as well?

Yes, the "old" Anakin Head is the standard figure.  The Luke Head w/Damaged Mask is the Chase.

2. Is it possible to get Luke and Han variants in the same box or is one limited to HK?

Neither is limited to HK or Japan, they have both been found in both places.  What is different between the HK and Japan Master Cases is the placement of the Chase figures (apparently).

It is NOT possible to get BOTH Han and Luke in one box of 12.  You get 2 Han Stormtrooper -or- 2 Luke Stormtrooper in that particular box, no one has found chase box with one of each.

If Hasbro has one ounce of professionalism to their process, the instant that a figure is painted and approved, someone would create a set of Orthorgraphics clearly labeling which color is to be applied to each portion of the figure from all relevant angles - probably noting RGB values as well as simple paint shade terms.  

You know, I just noticed this today, but something tells me that if Hasbro has a photo of Commander Bly in their Comic Con Q n A Presentation then I'm 100% positive that they've already got other photography of the figure to use if they have to go through a re-approval process or something lame like that.

I noticed this over at GH today, don't know if everyone caught it...

From Adam Pawlus:

Why no R5-D4? No mold. I asked. I didn't want to see the "Attack" mold again, and I assumed you felt the same way-- if you did want it, well, my apologies. You can blame me here. I don't like the Attack mold and will do everything in my power to prevent you from having an opportunity to buy it again, which basically boils down to you not seeing it in these sets.

So, the answer for why no R5-D4 - they wanted to use pre-existing molds for these guys and couldn't get them to make a new mold/sculpt.   >:(

Here's hoping we get a new R5-D4 eventually...

Very glad to get the much rumored Bib resclpt - much needed, too ba we had to suffer through the OTC re-pack last year and couldn't get this one.

Boushh and Han look pretty good from the small pics so far, hopefully we'll get a better look at them soon!

Anybody catch if the Boushh has a removable helmet or not?  Haven't heard that yet...  :-\

Anywho, our layout was the same as the first one show here, so I played
pyschic when I tossed him the vader chase Box  :o

So, you found your chases in Boxes 1 and 4 like Padawan did?

Just to clarify, was it a HK box or a Japan box?

Yeah, that would be my guess too - a rope/grapple hook so that your Wookiees can swing from your non-existant Playset on to your non-existant Corporate Droid while yelling like Tarzan.   :P

Holy Crap! 

I'm digging that Target 5-pack of Clones!



Now THAT is what these 5-packs should be, FIVE pure army builders for a good price!

This could be really good -or- an incredibly lame repack...  :-\

Since there were no pictures, I'll go with the glass half-empty crowd and assume they will be repack figures with new PVC babies.   :(

Boo all you want, but I will happily buy this figure.   :)

I loves me those Clones... I didn't have trouble with either Lava Vader or the Other Target Clone, so I should be able to nab this one too.

Man, Target is kicking ass with Clones!   :)

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Serenity -- The Firefly continuation
« on: July 15, 2005, 11:26 PM »
I've seen it, and I like it.

My wife on the other hand LOVES it.

We've got the DVD Box Set and it is her official "walking-on-the-treadmill" TV show.  Whenever she's on the treadmill, she's watching Firefly.

Now, if you knew my wife, you'd know she's not really a Sci-Fi fan, but she was a HUGE fan of Buffy/Angel.  She's a big fan of that style of "dram-edy" drama/comedy hour long show format.

I'd say it's definately worth watching next week for free on Sci-Fi and from everything I've read, it's shapinf up to be a great movie.

Does anyone else question whether Hasbro really needs to have the Unleashed at $15 anyway?  Aren't they fairly identical in scale, articulation and size to McFarlane figures?  Doesn't matter whether you're talking Twisted Oz, Sportspicks or Elvis, the McFarlane stuff is equivalent at 2/3 the price.  I would have thought that the UL stuff would have had that tidy additional $5 margin.

The extra $5 must be for the "awesome" artwork on the cards - McFarlane ain't got that!   :P
