-Lt. Janek Sunber & Amanim Warrior

KOTOR/KOTOR 2:

Wow, looks like I will be passing on a bunch of stuff.  I do not care for game stuff that is why I do not have a Scorch (that and I could not find him either).

I have never read a SW comic so that excuses me from the rest. ;D

I can't really speculate as to what figures the remaining 6 might be, but do we think it;s safe to say that these will be non- cartoonish sculpts?

I'd assume so. As much as I liked the Animated CW line, I'd still prefer relistic style sculpts.

Those RC packs would rule! But instead of that Jedi being in the packs, they should just make 2 complete Delta squad packs and 2 complete Omega squad packs so that everyone can have another chance at getting Scorch.

I think these EU packs are going to be a lot of fun... I would think most of them will have a main character we are familiar with in them...  So here's my guess, or at least what I'd like to see.

All new sculpts -

Heir to the Empire #1
Grand Admiral Thrawn
Noghri Warrior

Heir to the Empire # 2
Princess Leia
Mara Jade

Heir to the Empire # 3/b]
Luke Skywalker
Talon Kardde

New Jedi Order # 1
Nom Anor
Anakin Solo

New Jedi Order # 2
Jag Fel
Jaina Solo

New Jedi Order # 3
Onimi
Jacen Solo

 :)

I would like these 3 2-packs from Marvel.

1) Jaxxon and Amazia
2) Cody Sunchilde and Inner Demon
3) Kiro and Dani

I would like these 3 2-Packs from Dark Horse.

1) Tycho Celchu and Wes Janson
2) Dllr Nep and Ilo Plourr
3) Corran Horn and Gavin Darklighter

The only way I'll get really excited about these EU 2-packs is if they start plucking X-Wing Comic/Novel characters out.

I'd love to get some of those Rogue Squadron figures - this would be the perfect way to finally get a Hobbie or a Janson or a Tycho or any of those alien Rogue Squad pilots.

Let me second that.  The only Star Wars EU Novels I have read are the entire X-Wing Rogue Squadron and Wraith Squadron series. 

Every Human Pilot possible would be awesome, I'd buy cases of cases (if they were Super Articulated of course).

And the comics lend themselves to better colors at least than the Psychodelic Disco colors of the Marvel lines.  I'd love the Rouge Leader packs with Luke, Wedge, Tycho and Janson as well as some of the bad guys throughout the series, like a Baron Fel.

I'm a fan of the Heir to the empire series, but I'm not sure how much I want to follow Hasbro down the EU road. Like many of you, I like to get a complete set if I get anything, but so much of the EU product is likely to come from things I am not familiar with, that I am not that interested.
I'm glad Hasbro is moving away from repack after repack, but for my money they would be better off developing some small playsets or diorama builder type toys. I want to show off what I have bought for the last 10 years, not continue packing up box after box in a closet.
I think I will copy those last two sentences for futre pasting, as I seem to be saying it more and more.

I agree, the only novels I've read besides Shadows of the Empire is the Rogue Squadron/Wraith Squadron series. I'd love to see every human pilot in those novels show up in figure form, not to mention all the human naval officers and troopers and pirates....

Because comics are being included with the figures, so it would make sense that Hasbro's only doing figures of characters that have comics...

Little off topic, but anyone else notice the POTC comic 2 packs from Zizzle at Target now?  I had to laugh at how obviously it apes the SW/GI JOE comic concept, and really, how the entire POTC line seems to follow in SW's footsteps (also see pack in coins, and 'sneak preview figs', both also on display now).

I was thinking about that too Spuffy...  Which is cool, I mean Hasbro's blatantly taken ideas in the past from other companies too...  Zizzle's doing their thing and it seems to be working.  A pretty great toy line, and one I know I'd be into if I was a kid right now.
Title: Re: More EU 2-Packs?
Post by: Brian on January 3, 2007, 09:16 AM
I noticed those the other day at Target as well (the POTC comic packs).  I didn't have a chance to look closely at them, but there are a lot of similarities to the Star Wars line.  I'm often tempted by the line, and I agree with what Jesse mentioned, that would be a line I'd definitely be into if I was a kid now.  The Black Pearl ship is like the Flagg of this age ;).

Title: 2008 Comic Pack wishlist - SOTE
Post by: JACKOFTRADZE on July 25, 2007, 05:32 PM
Tac Comic two pack wish list with a 90's SOTE twist!

I wanted to gauge who on the boards would like to see Shadows of the empire figures sneak their way into the comic packs line. I think we need some 90's style action on shelf again, after all it was the first major EU event and helped kick off the craze we know today. The old Nintendo game was pretty killer for the time and there were some cool characters in the story. Many of them never got made. I actually would like to see some props given to the story line. Some people look at it like the bastard Star Wars child only a few levels above the Holiday special. It was not that bad. Yes, at the time Xizor warmed pegs for 2 years, but that was like 9 years ago. 9 years since we saw his ripped up & dusty carded card self on shelf. Remember there were not a lot of Star Wars figures released at that time, now it’s a different story.

I would love to see some resurgence in interest and tell Hasbro. What about:

Dash Rendar & Luke Jedi with yellow vest
Snoova (chewie) & Leebo
Xizor & Guri
Vader & Jix

Anybody else give a rats ass about SOTE? Xizor can even be scented for his intergalactic spanish fly power action. Now who would not want that?
Title: Re: 2008 Comic Pack wishlist - SOTE
Post by: Diddly on July 25, 2007, 06:05 PM
There's a snowball's chance we'll get it but I'd like to have the red Xizor and Leia in the blue leotard from the scene where Xizor tries to seduce Leia.

Dash, Xizor and Guri are all high on my SOTE wants list, and Luke in his attire would be a very simple kitbash for Hasbro.

I have no need to see resculpts for what they've done already (Dash/Xizor/Snoova), but I wouldn't mind a Guri/Leebo pack since I think those are two figures that they should have done the first time around.

If I'm not mistaken Guri is rumored already though not with Dash.

I'd actually love to get a Aubrie Wyn and Nimbus Commando in a comic pack. Although I never followed the comic series, I really liked the two that came out in previous comic 2 packs and really enjoyed these two character...some how doubt either will be made however.

P.s 1000 post! WOOT! 8)

I think few figures outside of the vintage line are "Super" articulated, but the comic pack figures have been pretty good lof late.  I was very happy with Quinlan Vos & A'Sharad Hett.  While not always the case, I think they tend to do a better job if the figure is brand new.  I also expect to see better quality now that the price of the line has gone up.

Really?  I think Hasbro's upped super articulation around the line in general quite substantially.  Believe me though, I'm the last guy who wouldn't bitch on articulation in the line too, especially at the price of figures today, but in general Hasbro's done pretty well...

Just off the top of my head:

-Juno Eclipse
-Rahm Kota
-Obi-Wan's (ROTS)
-both FU "Troopers"
-almost any army builder in general (Death Star Trooper, Rebel Honor Guard)

That's of course not counting ball/socket torso joints...  I think VOTC Han is the "bar" on super articulation, ball/socket torsoes are a bonus when they happen, usually because they can be hidden due to the character design.  Anything above/beyond that (VOTC Chewie, V30AC IG-88, etc.) is just gravy then...

But even then, there's TONS of figures in the line just a hair shy of the SA standard then...  both Cantina aliens from last year come to mind and they're pretty obscure guys.

Not to derail the thread, I just was thinking the line's improved in articulation tremendously...  It's probably the single improvement that has made me still love the hobby and collecting as much as I do.  Updates to old figures through articulation, new obscure figures with super articulation...  It's great!

On the comic packs...

Don't be so sure.  Hasbro, in the Q&A's I believe, said the price hike was due to what they hoped would be more articulation on comic-pack figures.  I'm content with some of the ones you guys mentioned like Vos, or Mara Jade, but others fell short (Luke w/Mara sucked a tad, and I felt the "Dark Woman" was below par).  If Hasbro's holding true to their word on that price hike going back into figure articulation counts, I'm all for it...  The comic packs are nice, the price was nice, but I'd shell out $1 or so more to get TWO great figures instead of one pretty great one and one so-so figure.

I'm not saying I'm unhappy with articulation in the basic line - I definitely think they've upped their standards in the last year.  Just not sure how many of them would qualify as SUPER articulated as the previous posters were commenting.  I am hoping we see the newer comic pack figs on par with basic fig mobility.

More of the Marvel Star Wars comic packs - Jaxxon, Amaiza, Kiro, Bey, Cody Sunchilde, Valance, just to name a few (would like these with SA and no funky colors).

SOTE - Any from here but Dash, Guri, Leebo spring to mind straight off, obviously they could pack or repack the main characters.

THRAWN Trilogy - Captain Pealleon (not sure if thats spelt right), Noghri Bodyguard, C'Boath, just to name a few.

TFU - Shaak Tii and Proxy, any others from the graphic novel that look cool.

DARK EMPIRE - Clone Emperor and Luke Skywalker, and any others they would like to make.
