Dave just posted a whole ****load of delicious tidbits over at RS. Check it out (http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/The_411_Get_Ready_To_Drool_99045.asp) for the complete list, but here's some of the highlights on it for me:
M'Ylloom (Cantina Alien) Not entirely sure which one this is... The snouted dude? Any guesses?
Elis Helrot (Cantina Alien)
Biggs Darklighter in Academy Outfit
Jawa/Droid 2-Pack (depending on which droid)
McQuarrie Chewbacca
McQuarrie Stormtrooper (re-release?)
EU Boba Fett (Johnston Design)
Hermie Odle
Umpass-Stay w/Gong
Holiday Special Boba Fett
AOTC Padmé
EU Yuuzhan Vong
Quinlan Vos vs. Vilmarh Grahrk 2-pack
VTSC:
Jawas (maybe 1 cloth caped & 1 plastic caped?)
Bespin Luke
Snowtrooper
Bespin Han
Bossk
Endor Leia
8)
But where's the McQuarrie Vader and Droids?! Those three would've been the best/most popular choices remaining from McQuarrie's sketches, I think (since they already made the Stormie). I bet MisterPL must be a little happier today though, eh? ;)
So I'm really starting to think that Hasbro's seriously planning on re-doing the entire Vintage line in their new VOTC/VTSC/V___ line. We're already up to 23 now, out of what, 96?

Mustafarian Lava Miner! :o

Interesting assortment of stuff. Great on paper, but they'll be better in pictures.
-
Do you guys think there will only be four basic figure waves? I am not really interested in concept figures and the Marvel figures are a really odd choice to me. Why not just give basic figures of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, as well? I also am angry with the lack of Stormtroopes, and judging by what Hasbro has said, they do not plan on re-releasing the VOTC Stormtrooper next year. At least I can buy the Sandtroopers now and remove their dirt.
-
I'd say this is only a partial of 2007 and it looks like a great start. Especially if those Marvel 2 Packs are movie accurate
Some of the stuff is a little bizzare and not something people are really clamoring for (the Cantina Aliens, VSTC Bossk)
I really doubt they'll redo all of the Vintage figures. They (Greedo, Sandy and Han) are starting to sit pretty badly on the pegs as it is start throwing out Jabba's Palace figures and they might as well ship with clearance tags on them. Plus add the fact that a lot of those figures just got vastly superior versions done (R5-D4, Dengar etc)
Alls I care about is that I get Hermi Odle
-
I'm excited about the new VTSC, Holiday Fett and McQuarrie figures!
Good stuff!
-
M'Ylloom (Cantina Alien) Not entirely sure which one this is... The snouted dude? Any guesses?
(http://starwars.wikia.com/images/thumb/f/f2/M%5C%27iiyoom_onith.jpg/250px-M%5C%27iiyoom_onith.jpg
)
A couple of other items that were MIA from the list but we know are coming out are:
7" Unleashed
Vehicles
Exclusives
So it looks like next year will be pretty expensive :P
-

Trevagg's old lady! Yes!
"Concept" figures and comic versions? Yawn.
-
Yuuzhan Vong? Holiday Special Boba? Possibly New Mace? Galactic Matine? VTSC Jawa? ARC Trooper Alpha?
Holy. *******. God.
Wow.
-
Holy Hell!
What a list!
This sounds a LOT better (and more expensive) than 2006...
:)
-
It sounded like some fun stuff mixed in there. I am interested in seeing what the McQuarrie stuff turns out to look like. We are all tired of repacked main figures so that sounds like an interesting idea to me. The VTSC sound good. I am hoping for a plastic cape and cloth caped Jawas for that. Glad to hear about an SA snowtrooper to bad it will cost $10 again. Bespin Luke I am looking forward to as I both love the ESB card and Luke in that outfit. Finally get Leia in Endor SA. Bossk sounds like the beginning of VTSC Bounty Hunters.
Biggs finally. Hermi Odle yay! Hellrot I like. I am not sure about the 30th anniversary 2 packs? Not sure about the poster 4 packs either? I am not really into the EU stuff but plenty of other people are of course.
Still waiting on those Tonnika Sisters and Willrow Hood figures. Hopefully the rumored CZ-3 is actually going to happen? But it was nice to hear what could possibly be coming out in 07.
-

May be at Comic Con.
-
Sounds great, but also sounds a bit too good to be true as well. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. If true, I'll be buying a hell of a lot of figures next year.
-
Mc quarrie concept Chewie Wow that will be awesome, I could definately use those in customs. And Vos and wow just wow. Everything on there I want, except a few.
-

I don't like the concept gimmick, but I want this one. He's like a totally distinct species; in fact I think EU has adopted it as the "Ariwook" race. I'll stick him in the cantina. :)
-
VTSC? Snowtrooper!!!
New Mace?!
Obi Wan and Alpha!!
Oh thank you Hasbro!
Now bring on the AT-TE...
-
Can someone post a few pics of the McQuarrie concept drawings? I have only seen the pics of the cloud car and the storm trooper.
-
Out****ingstanding.
-
Tatooine Biggs is welcome news, BTW. Fitting for an anniversary year (even though he's never actually been cut into any version of the film...).
Aw, crap. McQuarrie's site is being updated. :(
http://www.ralphmcquarrie.com/chap06-starwars/index.html
-
Fingers Crossed!!!! ;D
Pros
Vintage Wave 3- Yes
Galactic Marine- yes
Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight- Please Death Star Version
Hermie Ode- F#$@ A
Cons
Marvel Stormtrooper Han- I wanted movie version
Clones-Still missing Cody's Paratrooper (I know one is coming in Mace's Squad Pack), Kashyyk Biker Scout, Commander Neyo
-
The only thing that could suck are those Marvel 2-packs. However, they basically said a few weeks ago that any new Clone Wars figures will be movie style, not sure why the Marvel figs won't be as well
UNLESS, Han and Luke wore slightly different EU Stormtrooper Armor in the Comics. Anyone know/have scans?
-
The other thought is these will be sort of like Marvel Legends figures in that the figures will be packed with a comic book (minus the 6" scale)
-

I dunno, the poster things sound like turds to me.
-

This list sounds too good to be true also but all would be welcome. Best news to me is a Biggs academy fig and a return of the coins
I am disappointed about getting Han and Luke Stormtroopers in another form instead of the movie versions, but they will come in due time IMO.
-
Uh... I'm holding my doubts out on this one because some of this sounds a bit on the incredible/can't believe they'd actually make that side. Yuuzhan Vong? Holiday Special Boba Fett?! Hell, I'd be surpised if they admitted the Holiday Special exists much less make a figure for it!
Good things in my book:
ROTS Galactic Marine (I don't know if I want one, but given how many times I've heard this in passing among customizers, plus the similarities to snowtrooper armor, I count it as a good thing if it's really going to be out there)
ROTS Clone Trooper (if it's the SA one I'm sure people wanted this)
ANH Luke Skywalker (this could be a different assortment of parts of a resculpt, or something, hopefully; surely they wouldn't rereuse the commtech sculpt + worse head sculpt again so soon?)
Biggs Darklighter in Academy Outfit - automatic money from me if I find one, unless he's shockingly horrible like a Saga Hoth Rebel Trooper or something
ROTJ C-3PO (could they be reprinting the excellent Endor Wave C-3PO? He'll need it I think)
Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight (don't know if this is really a good thing, it stinks of '04 rereleaseness, but it might be interesting, especially if it's a new sculpt)
A-Wing Pilot
Holiday Special Boba Fett, instant collectors' hit. I'd buy one.
AOTC Anakin Skywalker (unless they're planning to rerelease Saga 02 garbage or Secret Ceremony Anakin, this could be the evolutions Anakin, and if nothing else that means excellent fodder)
Yuuzhan Vong (wow. Just, wow. Not that this is my first choice for an EU figure, but I'm glad to see any Novel-exclusive characters/races making it to figure form again)
AOTC Clone (see above)
VTSC:
Luke Bespin
Imperial "Snowtrooper"
Han Solo (bespin)
Princess Leia Organa Endor Battle Gear
All good things there, but what's up with Bossk? Couldn't they pick an alien a bit more, uh, popular/important? I guess he hasn't had a resculpt in a while, but... heck, I'd rather seen Nien Nunb or, here's a grand idea, Admiral Ackbar. Now Ackbar, I might actually spend $12 on.
Glad to see if the Expanded Universe 2 packs are really being made, but probably not going to buy any of the things listed there. Make some Thrawn trilogy sets, Hasbro, and you're my new best friend.
At any rate, interesting repot, and it'll be quite interesting to see how it really pans out...
What I really want to know, though, is where does the Yavin wave fit in?
EDIT: I missed mentioning it in there, but I'm kinda glad tos ee this McQuarrie stuff being made too. But Thrawn trilogy/etc. figures would still get a lot more attention- and money- from me.
-
I'm just going to take some wild stabs at these Battle Packs to see how close I am when the finished versions are released:
TPM: The Battle of Theed
1. Battle Droid (Boomer Damage from POTJ)
2. Destroyer Droid (Saga 2002/ROTS 2005 version)
3. Naboo Royal Guard (Episode I Version)
4. Qui-Gon Jinn (Episode I Naboo Version)
5. Darth Maul (Episode I Jedi Duel Version)
AOTC: The Battle on Geonosis
1. Sun Fac (2006 TSC)
2. Sora Bulq (2006 TSC)
3. SA Clone Trooper (2003 CW)
4. Super Battle Droid (2005 ROTS)
5. Jango Fett (2002 Final Battle)
TCW: Ambush on Ilum
1. Yoda (2005 ROTS #3)
2. C-3P0 (Deluxe 2002/TSC 2006 w/o BD Head)
3. Luminara Unduli (2005 ROTS)
4. Chameleon Droid (the only newly sculpted figure)
5. R2-D2 (using the R4-G9 body) with Dooku hologram
ROTS: Arrest of Chancellor Palpatine
1. Mace Windu (Episode I Sneak Preview with purple saber)
2. Agen Kolar (2005 ROTS version with blue saber)
3. Kit Fisto (2002 Saga version)
4. Saesee Tiin (2005 ROTS)
5. Palpatine (2005 ROTS #35, but still with wrong saber)
ANH: The Capture of Tantive IV
1. Rebel Fleet Trooper (2001 POTJ)
2. Stormtrooper (1998 CommTech)
3. Princess Leia (2005 Early Bird)
4. Darth Vader (2005 ROTS)
5. Captain Antilles (2004 Saga) or R2-D2 (2000 POTJ Naboo Escape)
ESB: Dagobah Training
1. Luke Skywalker (2004 OTC)
2. Obi-Wan Kenobi Spirit (2004 OTC)
3. Yoda (2004 OTC)
4. R2-D2 (2004 OTC)
5. Darth Vader (2000 POTJ)
ROTJ: Battle at the Pit of Carkoon
1. Han Solo (2006 TSC without block)
2. Luke Skywalker (2004 Saga/OTC) Jedi Knight
3. Lando Calrissian, Skiff Guard (2004 Saga/OTC)
4. Weequay (1997 POTF2)
5. Boba Fett (2003 Pit of Carkoon/2004 OTC/2006 TSC)
Of course, the ROTJ one is cheating since I assume that is the one that was shown at Toy Fair that nobody knew what was up with.
Other thoughts...Poster Packs, bound to be crap. The inclusion of a Vintage Jawa pretty much guarantees the single carded basic version is going to be the POTF2 CommTech version (probably with GNK again too). The Marvel Comic figures are corny as hell, and I'm not buying them; it sucks we have to pay for the Devaronian to get Vos. Maybe the Obi-Wan will be an actual SA AOTC-style Obi-Wan or maybe even a SA Clone Armor Obi-Wan. Alpha is one of the blue ARCs (I think) so maybe an SA Blue ARC is on tap. Who knows?
-
One problem with the battle packs you have listed. They stated there was going to be 4 figure with some accessory extras.
roron corobb
-
I agree with OCB, all of the figures will have "movie real" sculpts, or we'd be getting more CW Animted style figs...so the Marvel packs will essentially just be regular figures with some sort of neat packaging. I think it's way to ease into the EU for retailers.
Now that I think about it, there were 4 original comics, and there will be 4 2 packs...sounds like a comic might be involved. I think that including comics into EU sets would be a good idea, so that people know who they are buying. For instance, I know who Vos is, but I've never read any stories about him.
Aside from that, this list has too many cool things to eavn mention. Biggs, oh Biggs, how I've waited for you. Academy Biggs has been on the top of my most wanted fig list since I was akid in the 70s!!
-
Well Im pretty much down for 4 of the Quin/Villie 2 packs. I would hope that they give us a SA Barriss Offee for the Ilum Battlepack. Everything else is gravy. ;D
Im hoping some of this stuff will be shown at CC.
-
The holiday special fett is great news, but the concept stuff has never interested me. Vos would be really nice so i hope we get more EU alonng those lines. The Marvel EU stuff is a cool concept in my opinion and I think the only reason why we are getting this is the whole Marvel Legends / Hasbro connection. Great news in my opinion.
-
Sounds great, but also sounds a bit too good to be true as well. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. If true, I'll be buying a hell of a lot of figures next year.
Ah, finally the voice of cynicism. Thanks. I think the list is great, but a little too good to be true maybe?
VTSC Bossk before Death Squad Commander? >:( Who at Hasbro has the hard-on for Bossk? Unleashed. New 3.75" sculpt. Titanium. I like bounty hunters too, but what's up with this?
Also more than a little surprised at the VTSC Endor Leia. I'm thrilled to get another Leia figure but I don't see that being a strong component of the line. I'm also a little suspicious about them producing BOTH a cloth and vinyl caped Jawa. That's almost a bit too much like a collectors dream item and pays a little more homage to vintage than I'd expect out of Hasbro. One OR the other, but not both. And listing six VTSC when the most recent line had five figures only?
It looks great, but what's the success rate of 411 predictions?
-

I like Bossk but the attention he has been getting is a bit troubeling.
As for the predictions, I do not think the rate is good at all. However if you can all the times they predicted stuff that was already announced then they have a higher %.
I learned many years ago not to get a hard on based on the other site's predictions.
-
My thoughts on the basic figures:
Wave 1: ROTS
Mace Windu- May get if new sculpt.
Galactic Marine- May get, hope is well articulated.
Wave 2: ANH
Elis Helrot (Cantina Alien)- Will get.
Jawa/Droid 2-Pack- If the droid is the droid below, it's an easy buy.
(http://starwars.wikia.com/images/f/ff/LIN.jpg)
EU Stormtrooper (McQuarrie design)- Didn't get it first go round, will buy.
Wave 3: ROTJ
EU Holiday Special Boba Fett- While it's not exactly ROTJ, I love Boba, and I love the Holiday Special, so I'll definitly pick this up. He'll be a moaning bitch to find though.
Wave 4: AOTC
Mace Windu- If one from Wave 1 isn't new, I'll pick this up if this one's new.
Clone Trooper- Definite buy, I need to boost my E2 style Clone Army.
EU Yuuzhan Vong- Yes! An OT EU figure! I'll definitly pick it up, but like the Holiday Special Fett, he'll be a bitch to find.
-
Y'know, all of this stuf sounds great, but what's gonna be on the pages after the Naboo wave? Maybe some of this stuff will hit for X-mas...
-
Y'know, all of this stuf sounds great, but what's gonna be on the pages after the Naboo wave? Maybe some of this stuff will hit for X-mas...
Hopefully. Or it will be repaints of some TSC figures...
Repaints Wave 1:
-Clone Commando Darman (Repainted from TSC Scorch)
-41st Clone Trooper (Repainted from TSC Utapau Clone)
-Naboo Flight Commando (Repainted from TSC Naboo Flight Crew)

-Blue ARC Trooper (Repainted from TSC Captain Fordo)
-
Quinlan ************* Vos.
YES.
Kevin
-
As for the predictions, I do not think the rate is good at all.
I think that other site much announced and was correct on almost every basic figure wave for this year (The Saga Collection).
-
I personally do not consider 50 to 75% almost. Besides by randomness and a little foresight you can guess more than 50% of the figures that came out this year before it started. Nobody talks about all the times the other site was wrong. But hey maybe this is the year for some of the vehicles they have been "predicting" for years and years now.
But hey if they are right, then more power to them, their sources and us!
-
I'm happy about all of this!Even thoe I would prefer IG-88 or Dengar before Bossk but he's cool.What the choices should be should be:

What no ESB or TPM?Maybe they'll be announced soon with a new ROTs wave too. ;)
-
I posted a huge speculation list over at SWAN if anyone cares to read it. But to sum it up, 2007 will rock because of Mace windu, Jedi Luke, and the GM!!
And another thing, since there was no mention of the Infiltrator or V-wing, do you think we might even see those this year? If this has been brought up before, i'm sorry, but I haven't read through this entire thread yet. ;)
-
I'll believe it when I see it. I want pretty much everything listed, and that's not good for my pocketbook.
Maybe that TV series is taking a little too long, because I don't see any mention of any tie-in stuff.
-
The Marvel packs sound interesting... I mean, there are unique looks to the marvel styled images, but they're really not TOO far off. A lot of it, especially stuff like the RFT for instance, is just color differences... Like a darker blue shirt instead of the blue-grey colo of the film troopers.
If that's the case... Blah.
The Holiday and Concept Fett's had me most interested... I've always loved Fett's various forms, however I preferred the McQuarrie Fett design the best (I think it was) with the poncho on... They listed Jonston's I think.
Either way a lot of this does sound fanciful but we'll see what goes at Comic-Con.
-
The good, the bad and the UGH.
The good.
I am really excited about the list overall, looks much more exciting than this year. I am most looking forward to:
Han Bespin
Luke Bespin
HS Boba Fett & Johnsan Boba Fett, even if you are not crazy about them they make good Mandalores.
McQuarrie Chewie he is way ugly but really cool!
For me the Bad of the list:
Quote: " Arguably, the small-scale Unleashed figures are one of Hasbro's most popular new lines of 2006, and since it's foolish to fix what's not broken, we can expect the following new sets:"
1. Ahh...these little turds are clogging shelves at every store I go to. How can they waste more tooling on this?
2. EU Yuuzhan Vong - Cheese. C'mon they are immune to the force, that alone ruins the SW mythos and what Yoda taught us. plus they destroyed the ilithorian homeworld by Vogging. Lame.
3. Luke Skywalker another Tatooine version - wonderful
4. Darth Vader - Nuff said
The UGH:
With 2 Mace Windus will we at least get 1 new sculpt?
Coins will these be rereleases of the POTF? Better than Holos but the cost of dies cast has increased due to zinc prices. Will they raise the price again?
Will the Marvels be movie accurate? I bet they will be, could be really awesome!
With all this EU going on here are my picks for the next wave:
Wave 5: SWHE (Holiday edition wave)
1. Bea Arthur as Ackmena
2. Lumpy
3. Malla
4. Gormaanda
5. Art Carney as Saun Dann
6. Itchy
7. Coked-out Leai with sound
8. Chewie in red life day robe
8. Luke x wing with eye liner
C'mon admit it you want them too..........I will take Bea Aurther over a EU Yoovin DingDong anyday. (Whatever they are called)
-
I will take Bea Aurther over a EU Yoovin DingDong anyday. (Whatever they are called)
Yuuzhan Vong.
:P
-
I will take Bea Aurther over a EU Yoovin DingDong anyday. (Whatever they are called)
Yuuzhan Vong.

That's the new M. Night Shamalonga dingdong. ;D

LOL.

Hey Mods/Admins, whatddya think about making a new forum section regarding the next line? These TSC boards are becoming clogged with threads that aren't about a TSC, so it would be nice if we could put them in a different section. :)
-
Hey Mods/Admins, whatddya think about making a new forum section regarding the next line?
We will see... if SDCC confirms that TSC is really over, then we'll start up a new section and move threads as needed. ;)
-
Ok, gotcha.
-
My guess is that all of the basic waves that we know so far should be out by June or July if the releases goes as fast as this year,so we should here more waves at SDCC if we're lucky.
-
This list looks pretty amazing, and we'll see if it is true. It does seem "too good to be true" in some aspects, but at the same time, quite a few of the rumors have been pretty on base lately it seems. I personally hope this is, as everything looks great. Its going to continue to be expensive, the way things look. The basic line is about what we should expect I guess, continuing the themed waves with about half new/half old figures. The lineups don't look too bad though so far. I'm thrilled to see further info on the VTSC line continuing. Those look great, although Bossk is a bit of a head scratcher. I don't think we necessarily need another one. The others look great though, and I can't wait for Bespin Han, Bespin Luke, and the Snowtrooper. Nice lineup overall. I'm not sure if they'll re-do the whole vintage line in this way either, like Scott mentioned - this year's wave (which was pretty great) is sitting everywhere here. I couldn't imagine if we started seeing "VTSC Klaatu" or something along those lines. Plus, some figures have nice enough versions coming out in the basic line. As long as they cover the "main characters", army builders, and a handful of others - that would be ok with me.
I'm interested in the comic/EU 2 packs. This could really be a fun line. I would think the sculpts would be more "real", given the recent Hasbro comics how the animated figures weren't as well received as realistic sculpts. If it gets us some new, SA Han and Luke Stormtrooper figures, that's great with me. The McQuarrie concept figures are great as well, and I hope we see those. Lots of interesting rumors over the past week or two here, it could be a heck of a year in 2007. And here I thought there would be less to buy each year - at least that is what I've been telling the wife. I'm really going to have to take a hard look at the other stuff I collect if there is going to be this much great SW stuff coming out.
-
I think they just threw Bossk in there because they wanted another alien on the pegs. Plus the older collectors like the Bounty Hunters and they probably felt like we would appreciate an "SA" version of him. I would assume they will make the rest on the old cards at somepoint.
-
/Rant
I can't believe all the "positives" I've been reading about the EU attention - I'm just a little ticked off with this whole "EU thing" they're pushing. Great stuff for EU Fans? I think NOT!!!!
Resculpts of MOVIE figures does not really satisfy any EU cravings- there are SOOOO many NEW characters they could do that would be awesome and might even encourage non-EU fans to go out read the EU books/comics. Give us some Tallon Kaarde, Booster or Mirax Terrick, Winter, Vergere.. much needed and long awaited resculpts of Thrawn and Mara Jade... not "concept art" renditions of characters that were in the movies! And touting the "EU 2-packs" with MOVIE characters? Come ON Habro! If you're going to sell us "EU" SELL US EU!!!!!
And VTSC BOSSK? ... what rock did they pull THAT idea from? I can understand the Leia since they just did the matchin Han (we'll be able to recreate the bunker scene with fully articulated poses!) but BOSSK? I love bounty hunters but I seriously don't think we need another version of him (SAGA was just great) and ESPECIALLY not for a goram $12.99!
/Rant
At LEAST there'll be a few new tatooine aliens to use with the Cantina or Jabbas' Palace!
NOT a big buying year for Oboewan..... errr.. at least on the 3.75" line.
Oboewan

The VOTC Bossk is fine IMO. Remember, in order for the Vintage line to continue they will need to throw out some average figs here and there. Otherwise all the main figures we want will be spoken for and the line will die a premature death.
As far as the EU I have mixed feelings. I am not much of a fan but am glad for all the people that have been asking for these. I would love to see some of the Marvel figs made and would like better versions of SOTE. Those sculpts suck hard. I would also like to see more figs from the Zahn Trilogy.
-

Exactly. IMO, Bossk, Greedo and characters that don't excite people as much as Stormtroopers or Darth vader are a great sign. It says that Hasbro intends to keep this thing going.
Which is fantastic.
-
Good points, that's how I've viewed it as well. If we had a few waves and they included every version of Luke, Han, Leia - as well as the droids, Vader, Chewie, and the troopers right off the bat - it might be harder to sustain the line. I mean, we have honestly gotten more of the main characters than I thought we would - not that I'm complaining. I really hope the Bespin Han and Luke are true, as I'd really like to see them get the VTSC treatment. Greedo was a bit of a surprise, and maybe not necessary, but aside from varying opinions on the vest - its a pretty nice figure. Bossk probably will be too. We'll probably continue to see an alien or two thrown in the mix each wave, and that's fine with me too. Heck, if this rumor holds out, we'll have gotten arguably the "perfect" SA versions of Stormtrooper, Biker Scout, and Snowtrooper - (not to mention other greats like Han, Fett, Luke X-Wing, Chewie, etc.) so that's not too bad.
-
with Bespin Luke and Han on the way. I hope the Hoth versions are next, I actually wanted SA Hoth Han more than Bespin Han. I wondering on Bespin Han with the jacket, will it be soft goods?, sculpt on?
-
I don't understand all the hate for an SA Bossk coming out. I'm actually kinda excited about it.
-
i'm with you Roton. i'd take him over greedo anyday. just think of the custom fodder he could provide.
-
/Rant
I can't believe all the "positives" I've been reading about the EU attention
I'm kind of with you there. It sometimes takes me time to analyze how I really feel about something, and after the list has sunk in, I think the word I'm looking for in the 2007 line is "disconnect." I don't know who half the characters are, so it's hard for me to get excited.
-
I like the idea of a SA Bossk as well. I dunno why, but I have always liked this character. Plus it may mean a SA version of my favorite bounty hunter, Zuckuss. I just hope I can get a re-release of the SA Boba Fett. I missed out on that one and would really like to have a couple.
-
They should make just about all of the bounty hunters SA. Dengar, Zuckuss, 4-LOM, etc.
-
Bring on the VOTC Rancor Keeper :P Actually he is probably one of the few that will never get redone which is fine IMO. But I am sure that there are fans out there that would honestly love one.
So what is everyone's guess for the wave of VOTC after this one? If we had to mix it up with a bit of all three movies with boring and main characters these would look pretty nice IMO.
Royal Guard
Emperor
Hoth Soldier
Admiral Ackbar
Gamorrean Guard
Also, with word that the coins are returning with the basic line, what does everyone think of the possiblities of a vintage POTF line? This is the perfect opportunity for a new Luke Stormtrooper.
-

If my Han and Luke Stormtrooper that I have been waiting for since POTF days have ORANGE pieces on thier Helmets and Cartoony styling, I am not going to be really happy. But that is about as far as my idle threats will go.
-
I'm with you there, Paul. I really hope Hasbro sculpts these figures in a normal manner next year.
-
I don't understand all the hate for an SA Bossk coming out. I'm actually kinda excited about it.
I am,I would prefer IG-88 or Dengar thoe, since those are my favorite non Boba/Jango bounty hunters, what VOTC wave 4 should be:
Hoth Han Solo
IG-88
Dengar
Hoth Luke Skywalker
Death Star Commander
Hoth Leia Organa
Emporer Palpatine
If the Marvel comic EU sets are cartoony, I'll pass.
-
I'm a fan of all things Trandoshan actually so this year's been kind of cool for me, as have some of the past couple years. I love the Bossk character simply because he has a smile it seems, and gurgles at people, so I'm all for SA Bossk... I'm sure they can knock that one out of the park.
I agree too that figures like that are a sign of positive things if you like the VOTC/VTSC.
I hate the price, but honestly I'd buy $10 figures with SA and softgoods over a lot of the unposeable stuff we're getting dished in the basic line for $7+. I guess my point there is, I'd pay the $2 and change more to get the better figure at this point... I still hate the price, but I love the toys and that's what I want.
I just hope the VTSC/VOTC expands to non-vintage figures at some point. VTSC Fleet Trooper, VTSC Tarkin... These are things ultra high on my want list. Sure I want them for basic prices (or reasonable basic prices, like we should get) but at this point I figure truly great figures throughout the line (both basic and $10 pricepoints) are just not going to be likely. Not with some of the answers we got in the Q&A's anyway.

I have nothing against the idea of an SA Bossk.. what I AM against is having to pay $13 for him!

-
Where were people paying 13.00 for VOTC? Everywhere I got mine, they were 9.99, except for KB, which was like 12.99.
-
Apparently KB ::)
-
McQuarrie and Johnston concept figures!! Yippee!! I love the concept art for the movies.
-
Roton7, I got ya...but is wasn't like these things were hard to find. I cant believe anyone HAD to buy them at KB! ;)
-
All of you Bossk complainers just think this will probally be the last new Bossk we'll ever get,besides re-packs,re-paints,etc...
Also maybe when they first came out & they were the first he saw. ;)
-
KM was expensive on the VOTC too Mike, but actually they were the place that got every wave in too which made it convenient... at least for me. I remember KB's in my area actually had Stormtroopers sit a little bit compared to other stores. The price just was a big deterrant.
Now you have Target and KB similarly priced on basics and VTSC... And KB even runs a sale undercutting Target, WM, and TRU... Go figure. Amazing to see them actually out maneuvering the competition through a long-running buy-2-get-1-free deal.
-
My Target prices for VOTC are 12.99. Walmart was also 12.99 but they recently dropped to 9.99. TRU is still at 9.99
-
Target here has been 11.99
TRU and Wal-Mart have both been 9.99
-
KB prices for them are 11.99. Same as Target.
-
Sorry I mucked up this thread with price talk...
Bossk is a neat choice for the VOTC, but an Imperial Commander (all Black tunic) would have sold many more, and would have been a Vintage figure to crossoff the list.
I think Bossk still has a coolness factor becuase he was the SECOND ESB figure mail-away. I know that as kids, we thought he was super cool, and were bummed by his small part in the flick
-
These planned '07 figs sound pretty good, I'll be getting most if not all of them. I can check 10-15 customs off my "to do" list. I'm a bit skeptical of the Holiday Fett (since Lucas' disownment of the Holiday Special) and the Imperial Academy Biggs, but usually RS is right on the money with their predictions. Also:
The good, the bad and the UGH.
With all this EU going on here are my picks for the next wave:
Wave 5: SWHE (Holiday edition wave)
1. Bea Arthur as Ackmena
2. Lumpy
3. Malla
4. Gormaanda
5. Art Carney as Saun Dann
6. Itchy
7. Coked-out Leai with sound
8. Chewie in red life day robe
8. Luke x wing with eye liner
C'mon admit it you want them too..........I will take Bea Aurther over a EU Yoovin DingDong anyday. (Whatever they are called)
I'd buy all of these in a second. I actually made some vintage customs years ago of Bea Arthur, Torque, Lumpy or Itchy (whichever was the kid wookiee) and the cartoon Fett. I'll try to dig them up and post pics in the customs forum.

I really dont pay much attention to details on some of these figures. The POTF Imperial Officer IMO is close enough to the Imperial Commander to cross off the vintage figs that need to be remade list.

"I really dont pay much attention to details on some of these figures. The POTF Imperial Officer IMO is close enough to the Imperial Commander to cross off the vintage figs that need to be remade list."
The guy that Hasbro made in the POTJ line wore a jumpsuit and had big gloves on. When pictures of that figure first showed up, most of us didn't even know who it was. The Vintage figure wore an outfit just like Ozzel, but all black. To me, they are like night and day. I know I sound nit-picky, but Ilike the minute details.
-
LOL,Coked Out Leia w/sound. Good one Jackofthetradez! :D

Yeah, I'm with you Mike. We need some black tunic Imperial officers to fill out the ranks. Right now, we have troopers, techs (POTJ "Imperial Officer") and Admirals. We need some low-level officers. Maybe even some of those Imp officers with the silver boxes on their belts ("Inform the commander that Lord Vader's shuttle has arrived").
-
They should just make the "Holding her is dangerous..." guy from ANH. You hear the way that guy talks to Vader? Must have a reall set of 'nads on him!
-

True, true. In fact I remember when I was really young watching ANH on tape after kindergarden class a lot and always remembering that guy... I always wondered back then what in the hell he was talking about when he mentioned the Senate. :P
:)
-

I believe that might be Commander Praji.

I wish that IG-88 was on the list over Bossk. Here's what I think of Bossk being put in there first.
(http://chewie34.250free.com/063006previewtwo.jpg)
:)
-
Nice one, Justin! I haven't thought about an IG-88, but now that you mention it, that would be cool at proper height and with better sculpting. I really hope they make both Zuckuss and 4-LOM in the same wave though, with a nod to the switched names of vintage.
-
No love for Bossk? (He's my favorite bounty hunter) :'(
I'd love a VOTC IG-88. Especially since the plastic would likely be a stronger one, and they could add some articulation overall. Zuckuss and 4-LOM would also be very cool, no matter what you named them.
-
I don't really care which of those bounty hunters they do first or last. It's been entertaining reading the gripe fest about Bossk being first though ;)
-

Just think Chewie all of the Trandoshan customs you can do with thoe. ;) An IG-88 would of been fantastic since we haven't had a new one in a long time.
-
oh the list. i've argued over that list too much, not too much, much too much.
all i gotta say is they dangle a nice bit of EU, but i can't trust them i can't....anyone remember the pics of unproduced mock-ups from 86?
much fear there is......
-
R2 & Windu have also been confirmed! While Oola was a lie..... sort of strange.
-
R2 & Windu have also been confirmed! While Oola was a lie..... sort of strange.
Well Hasbro DID say that the rest of Delta squad wouldn't be made in 2007, so we could still easily see Oola next year.
-
What did they answer a Q and A by saying there was no Oola for 2007? Not that I really desire another Oola figure but it might be fun to have a resculpt of her or one to keep as a carded figure.
-
What did they answer a Q and A by saying there was no Oola for 2007?
Technicaly they didn't.
Here...I dug the question out of Matthew's awesome categorized QnA thread:
Since it's been revealed that there will be an Oola figure in the 2007 toy line, isn't time for the 3 backup dancers from the ROTJ SE (Lyn Me, Rystaal, and Greeata) to get new sculpts, as the POTF2 versions of them are now rather dated?
We did not confirm that there will be an Oola. The "2007 line list" circling around has a gem of truth but many inaccuracies. We have no plans to update the Dancers any time soon.
-
Ah I see.
-
Hmm... if they re-pack her (if they do one next year) I'll pass.
-
They should just make the "Holding her is dangerous..." guy from ANH. You hear the way that guy talks to Vader? Must have a reall set of 'nads on him!
I believe that might be Commander Praji (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Praji).
(link added)
Nope ... it's Commander Daine Jir (http://decipher.com/starwars/cardlists/anewhope/dark/large/imperialcommanderwb.html).
-
last i heard the vong had been pushed ahead by hasbro, and ofcourse received the "what is that" comment from the eu haters so they could respond when told about it with "thats stupid", and most if not all of that list on rebelscum is bull. quite frankly were probably gonna get another repack collection. if not cool.
-
I don't really care which of those bounty hunters they do first or last. It's been entertaining reading the gripe fest about Bossk being first though ;)
I don't see why, all Bossks so far suck in articulation.
It would be a gripe fest if Hasbro to re-paint VOTC Fett is ESB colors though.

I would not mind if they did Fett with ESB colors. I just hope they do not put in a VOTC type of card and charge $12 for it. Just repaint it and put in with the basic line. Although between the Holiday and McQuarrie versions coming next year they probably won't do the ESB thing.
-
I wouldn't either, but I meanton a VOTC card.
I dought Hasbro will do that though.
-
the bounty hunter we all SERIOUSLY need major SA resculpting on is not from Episode 5, 6, or even 2...it is from 1-AURRA SING!!!the POTJ one was 100% poopi and the WM exclusive doesnt look much better... :'(
-

Try again. Look at the POTF2 4-LOM and tell me that this figure doesn't need to be resculpted before Aurra Sing.
-
For the role (and movie) Aurra Sing had, she can wait.
-
Well Aurra did have more screen time than Yarna and ICMG, and most people seem to want them.
;)
-
Yarna had a bigger role she appeared in a few scenes. Of course I'll never buy her. ICMG I will buy, I will buy 8 if he comes with a real IC making thing. ;D
If the new rumors about wave 3 are right, RS has been right so far.
-
Aurra and 4-LOM both suck, I don't know how I would decide which should be resculpted first. Both could use 14 points so that you could actually pose them doing something.
(http://www.rebelscum.com/potf2/POTF24lomloose-m.jpg)
(http://www.rebelscum.com/potj/POTJaurrasingloose-m.jpg)
-
Yarna had a bigger role
How?
-
She appeared in a couple of scenes, Aurra appeared in 1. Unless you mean EU then Aurra would have a bigger role. IMO, I would like to see an SA 4-LOM, but he can wait for his chance in the vintage line.
-
For the role (and movie) Aurra Sing had, she can wait.
Hey, the movie did suck but you can't say it didn't have any super terrific characters (Aurra, Gragra, Watto, MAUL, Tey How)
Oh, and Aurra can go before 4Lom because I need someone to fight my rots aayla. Yes, I'm talking about EU and TPM.
-
She appeared in a couple of scenes
That doesn't mean that she has a bigger role. All it means is that she has more screen time.
-
gosh darn it, yarna and icmg would both be super new figs to have and aurra and 4lom both need major resculpts (i still say aurra more than 4lom ;) )

Gold UGHs? (http://www.jedidefender.com/jsmentek/mad.gif)
-
Okay, I thought that only the coins were going to be gold - indicating the UGHness. So now the packaging will be gold as well?
-
That seems to be referring to the coins. Hasbro said that they're going to do some chase coins in this series. This is the first list that we've seen mention of that.
But the original source isn't 4-inches. It's a post from the RS forums, and the poster there cites UK e-tailer R2-DToys as the source.
-
Funny, how the UGH takes up half the wave. ::)
Atleast the two probally HTF clones will be re-packed.
-
Bring on Quinlan Vos.
-
New Leia Boushh? Didn't we just.... We just got.... Nevermind.
Decent lineup. Bring it.

Are you kidding another leia boushh? I 'm not buying it unless it has a Ubese hunter head on it.i wish they made a Quinlan Vos some characters that are in the EU something to spice the line up instead of the same @#$%^&
figures that they made before they have an Aurra sing in a black outfit as part of the Walmart exclusive line I don't know if it's resculpted or not

I'd prefer a AotC Bultar Swan first than the one from Purge. As for the Momaw Nadon, I wonder if it is Roron Corrob from Clone Wars cartoons???
-
I would buy Roron Corrob but there is no need for another Momaw Nadon, we just got one.
-
I would buy Roron Corrob but there is no need for another Momaw Nadon, we just got one.
I definitely agree and Roron could be a possibilty since we got Foul this year... but it could be a rehash of Momaw. The big H loves repacking crap left and right. Let's hope not though.

My guess it would be a repack with jedi clothing pretty much like with what they did with Foul. I dont think we would get a new sculpt.
-
My question is this. What are people referring to as a YOUNG Momaw Nadon? Is this and EU concept? I know about that Hammerhead Jedi - Coran (sp?). I just don't know what a young Momaw Nadon is supposed to be.
Anyway, please, please, let the Hermi Odle be released this year. I am wanting that badly. It's cool to see CZ-3 and Jedi Luke among others coming.
-
i was shocked, when i saw that oola and hermi odle were not in the list anymore, i hope they will be released :'(
-
How can Momaw Nadon be young? Unless they mean the Galactic Heroes version. :P
-
Apparently, Academy Biggs has been confirmed for wave 3 durring the past Force cast.
-
i hope they release roron corrobb, i made the mistake, that i didnt buy foul moudama when he came out, but i wont miss such a figure again
-
I think he might be out in '08. There was a list on GH of CW figures & hasbro said 2 of those will be out in '08. Hammerhead jedi was one of them.

The ******* torture rack!!! Smuggler Lando!!! ;D
I wonder if the Rogue Squadron comic pack will give us a halfway decent shot at Wedge. One can hope. List looks great. Kudos to Hasbro for a excellent line up.

It's ridiculous how hot she looks in that outfit. Wow.
;)
-
YES! Clone Wars Anakin with the blue tribal tattoos! I'm also assuming that the Yoda with Kybuck is the thing Yoda rode on Coruscant in the cartoon?
-
Sure sounds like it Diddly.
(http://starwars.wikia.com/images/4/4a/Youda_mount.JPG)
That will really make a Yoda figure feel like you're getting $7.00 worth if it holds true. It will be cool if he has the hood up like that too... I just hope it's indeed "movie style" instead of animated.
:P
-
I don't care what Yoda it is, I just want one with his hood up. It's ridiculous how hot she looks in that outfit. Wow.-Chewie Ya no kidding. R2 in cargo net? What's that? Driodekas w/sheilds ;D oh it's so on. Hopefully it doesn't have kid freindly projectiles ;) Jango Fett w/poncho? Did I miss that scene?
1840 SW BASIC FIGURE CZ-4 JABBA PALACE DROID 6-53569-20657-6 is that CZ-3 pedecessor? ;)

1886 SW EXPND UNVRS ASHARAD HETT & DARK WOMAN 6-53569-21374-1

-
R2 in cargo net? What's that?
As for the R2-D2 in cargo net, I'm thinking that's a ROTJ/Endor R2-D2.
Driodekas w/sheilds ;D oh it's so on. Hopefully it doesn't have kid freindly projectiles ;)
It's about time for this one. I've been writing that in on wishlists for years now.
Jango Fett w/poncho? Did I miss that scene?
That's from a deleted scene in AOTC where Dooku meets with Anakin and Padme before they're sent to the execustion arena. I'm actually very happy to see this one. Maybe Hasbro will make an SA Jango and decided to throw in the poncho.
1840 SW BASIC FIGURE CZ-4 JABBA PALACE DROID 6-53569-20657-6 is that CZ-3 pedecessor? ;)
You have to ignore some of the mispellings or typos in these things. They called Darth Revan DARTH RAVEN, so some things just have to slide.
-

Deleted scene on the DVD.

Amen indeed on the droidekas, those missle thingy's are the only reason I didn't buy them in the first place. It's a solid mold though. Wonder if the new one will be some sort of modified rehash, or will it actually transform & come with a sheild :o with what we've seen so far I can now officially hope, instead of just being happy with what we get. As for the poncho I don't remember ever seeing that, time to wip out the DVD. Ya SA Jango but the first photos we see will have him covered by the poncho, i.e. Pilot Obi when we first saw pics & now VTSC Endor Leia, so we'll be going back in forth for about 2 months wether or not he's SA until we get descent pics ::)

More thoughts (by Jack Handy):
MOMAW NADON JEDI - Awesome. I was hoping they'd do him this year.
YODA W/KYBUCK A very cool idea, and hopefully the hoodie is in the upright and locked position.
ANAKIN W/TATTOOS I'm on the fence about this one. We'll see.
HAN SOLO W/ TORTURE RACK This is a fantastic idea. Wonder how 'new' Han will be, especially considering a Bespin Han is one of the few Vintage figs Hasbro can do in the future.
LANDO IN SMUGGLER OUTFIT Right on. About time!
4-LOM Hopefully he features some of the same articulation as CZ-3.
EWOK 2-PACK I want the Mom and woklings too, but you know who I always wanted? The two Ewoks that help Chewie jack the chicken walker. I love those guys. Failing that, Paploo.
ANAKIN SPIRIT The Hayden version, no doubt.
A-WING PILOT TYCHO Awesome.
R2-D2 IN CARGO NET Err... okay.
PADME W/BLK LTHR OUTFIT Least among my wishlist Padme's, but it's a Padme!
JANGO FETT W/ PONCHO Better be some SA under there.
WOLFMAN JEDI GEONOSIS I love all these CW Jedi.
DESTROYER DROID W/SHIELD Been waiting for this one for a while now too.
-
DESTROYER DROID W/SHIELD
I would love this if (and only if) this is a TPM version.
-
Nice, a few more surprises. I am glad to see Lando coming in the Smuggler outfit if true. I'm kind of sick of him in the Baron Administrator garb. Plus, all those pegwarming VOTCs might have swayed Hasbro to try a different outfit for Mr. Calrissian.
Padme - Yeah, that's something else. I bet the sculptors were fighting over who got to make that one and get access to the resource material. I can hear it now "Um no sir still working on that Padme figure. Um...it's gonna take a long time to get it just right. I gotta really research it you know. Yeah...that's it!"
Hermi Odle - I am glad to see yet another rumor list with his name on it. I will believe it when the pics leak!
Han Torture Rack - Yay, we get to torture poor Han now.
R2-D2 - Cargo net - I was thinking this was the net that all the heroes get caught in by the Ewoks. But surely it's not a "cargo" net. So, not to sure what that is just yet.
A-Wing Pilot Tycho - Okay who is Tycho again? I just assumed this would be Arvel.
Jango Fett Poncho - I was hoping for an SA armored Jango. Does the poncho just go over his armor?
Destroyer Droid with Shield - About damn time geez.
Anakin Spirit - I don't know if I'll get him but it's kind of cool they made him. I sense a disturbance with the OT purists about this one.
Anyway, lots of cool stuff this year IMO. I cancelled the SS 12 inch Jabba to put more money toward some of these figures in the upcoming year.

i dont know what dress this one is? pictures?
-

:o

Ironic if this is the best Jango ever, and it's from a deleted scene. I'm kind of thinking the same irony will be felt by me when the McRebelTrooper shows and it turns out to be this superbly sculpted/articulated masterpiece like the other Mcfigures have been, and he'll have no film counterpart that matches him. :)
The figure list is spiffy... I'm not a big Padme fan (I don't need all her outfits) but the S&M bondage digs are probably the best choice to visit her again other than one of her action outfits.
-
I have given up hope for Yarna :-[
-
2006 was a year that I lost a lot of interest in Hasbro's figures, but I have to say they're doing a hell of a job getting me interested again. There are so many OT figures that I'm looking forward to, and if this list turns out to be even half true, it's going to be a good year.
-
A-Wing Pilot Tycho - Okay who is Tycho again? I just assumed this would be Arvel.
Tycho's from the Rogue Squad series and SUPPOSEDLY was seen in the briefing for Endor... In the background. I think the guy cited as being him in some CCG card or something was a B-Winger though, not an A-Winger... I could be wrong on that. There were a couple A-Wingers in ROTJ that had lines or were seen to some extent I think so there's possibility there. I just hope they do it right the first time and really make this a spiffy figure.
-
Tycho is the A-wing pilot who flew into the Death Star and said "Copy, Red Leader"
[/nerdalert]
-
My, that's a lotta stuff. Looks like the first half of the year is going to my favorate part with all the OT product.

Padme in bondage digs, seems like an action outfit to me ;D
And what the hell is with Hasbro and they're hard on for R2, my oh my I love the lil' driod as much as the next guy but geez Hasbro enough already. One would think he was an army builder or something.

-
I've never heard of the 'Force Unleashed' line of figures before, has anyone else?
The assumption right now is that Force Unleashed is the working title of the big new SW Video Game that is coming this Fall... the game is the one that SW.com has been teasing with their Secrets of Star Wars 07 posts they had on the site in fall/winter 06.
The current rumor is that much like Shadows of the Empire, we're going to get a huge media push to support the Video Game. We'll see things like a comic series from Dark Horse, a book or two, and then the line of figures based on the game that you see here.
-
Rorron Kobb- Sweet! Hopefully he's SA unlike his pal Foul!
Yoda- Yoda's small enough that alone he's only worth $5 bucks with a Kybuckit's IMHO worth $10, 3 dollars off is cool!
Han w/ Torture Rack- Cool, even if he's a TSC or POTJ re-pack (I don't think his jacket was on in this scene) it's worth it.
Smuggler Lando- Finally! I'm happy with this!
4-Lom- If he's new, yes. If he's are-hash with parts from diety 3PO, New head & CZ-3 yes, if not no.
Ewok 2-Pack- Yes, unless they're re-hashes of ewok besides Chirpa
Spirit Anakin- Yeah, hopefully there'll be a variation or swapable heads
Tycho- I sort of hoped for a generic A-Wing pilot with variation, ala TSC Rebel.
R2-D2 w/ Cargo Net- ??? Hopefully a non-fire stain G9 re-paint.
Padme- *Homer Simpsons drool* Yes! A new Padme, more hope for an SA arena versionin '08.
Jango Fett w/Poncho- Only if SA.
Jedi Wolfman- Yep.
Droideka w/Shield- :o FINALLY!
-
Is the Bespin Han with torture rack going to be a deluxe fig? I thought Hasbro said that no Bespin themed waves would be part of the collection?
-
I'm pumped on the A-Winger (Thanks Mike for clarifying who he is in the film). Long overdue are B and A-Wing pilots in this line.
-
I guess I missed it before (and apologies if I missed someone else bringing it up), but it looks like in addition to the 8 McQuarrie figures, we might be getting McQuarrie himself?
Here are the 8 official McQuarrie Concept Figures:
1824 SW BASIC FIG MCQUARRIE SERIES BOBA FETT 6-53569-20153-3
1833 SW BASIC FIG MCQUARRIE SERIES CHEWBACCA 6-53569-20599-9

1860 SW 3.75 BSC FIG MCQUARRIE #8 REBEL SLDR 6-53569-25705-9
And then, there is this one:
1852 SW 3.75 BSC FIG REBEL TROOPER MCQUARRIE 6-53569-24957-3
It doesn't seem to fit in with the others since it is a separate listing from the McQuarrie #8 Rebel Soldier. Maybe, just maybe we're getting McQuarrie himself from his Echo Base cameo?
(http://www.jedidefender.com/news/images/1-07/generalmcquarrie.jpg)
I suppose it could just be Derlin with a new head, but that would be a pretty spiffy tribute if it's true...

I'd be cool with getting a McQuarrie figure... Seems fitting given his book this year and all the McFigures. Derlin was a pretty sparse figure though so I hope they dress it up a little for $7. :-\
-
Now that's an interesting find Jeff. I'm not sure I even knew he made a cameo appearance (or if I did, it's way back in my rusty head ;)).
-
If Hasbro really does make a Ghost Jedi Spirit of Anakin Skywalker action figure, I really hope that it's in the form of Hayden Christensen
-
I'm hoping it has 2 heads honestly... I'd hate to hear the great debate and any anger/rage at the figure not being what people want... That was suggested to Hasbro in a Q&A by the way, and they said it was "interesting". Makes me wonder if they were just hinting at what they already knew or if they were shocked at the friggin' concept.
The body wouldn't need to change really, just needs 2 different heads is all... Spirit of figures are so dull I really hope they don't milk this by leaving the option to do the "other" Anakin then.
-
I see no one's wondered what the Trade Federation Droid with Anakin could be in the Comic 2-Pack.
I think it's,
The Pollux Assassin Droid from The Battle of Jabiim comic.

Well, if we get a Hoth McQuarrie, as in the above picture, I want Joe Johnston too. He's the guy in the middle who is facing the other soldier. McQuarrie's excellent, but Johnston HAND PAINTED the Boba Fett costume. The guy's a genius!

I guess I could handle that since the Christensen character wouldn't be my first choice.
-
Great idea Jeff about the Hoth McQuarrie. I bet you're right on. They could probably go with the Rieeken body, since it seems closer to the one in the pic vs. Derlin. Maybe they could do so new arms or something. I really wanted a new Hoth Soldier, but this will be cool also. :)

Hasbro mentioned in the Q&A sessions that if they would re-do the Spirit of Anakin Skywalker, that they would include heads for both Sebastian Shaw and Hayden Christensen. Seems like that was a not-so-veiled hint.
-
Nice catch and good call Jeff on the McQuarrie trooper. Odds are you're right.
I never knew he had a cameo...it was the least they could do.
With that said, I'm glad Hasbro is giving him the props he deserves after thirty years....wait til you see the new Hasbro print ad...
-
I've never heard of the 'Force Unleashed' line of figures before, has anyone else?
The assumption right now is that Force Unleashed is the working title of the big new SW Video Game that is coming this Fall... the game is the one that SW.com has been teasing with their Secrets of Star Wars 07 posts they had on the site in fall/winter 06.
The current rumor is that much like Shadows of the Empire, we're going to get a huge media push to support the Video Game. We'll see things like a comic series from Dark Horse, a book or two, and then the line of figures based on the game that you see here.
Thanks Jeff, I do remember the discussion on this now.
-
Good find Jeff on the McQuarrie thought, you're off the chain.. ;D

Really nice find on the possible Hoth McQuarrie figure Jeff, that would be pretty cool. I was just reading through the Galactic Blogger (http://www.galactichunter.com/blogger/) over at GH, and found this quote interesting:

I hope that is a hint, because I think we'd all like to see a new Speeder bike, and there could be some potential in a new assortment of the speeder-sized vehicles. It will be interesting to see, can't wait for Toy Fair.
-
And that brings up a good question (and I hate to be the one to ask) but will JD be present at Toy Fair?

You are not the first to ask (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=14518.0). The answer is still the same as last time:
We are currently working through our strategy for Toy Fair 2007 and we will make an announcement one way or the other when we are ready...
-
You are not the first to ask (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=14518.0).
OK, I was just curious - it starts in nine days so I thought maybe the staff knew already, one way or the other.
Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers.
-
you didn't ruiner, don't worry. Jeff's reply wasn't angry. ;)
-

The Pollux Assassin Droid from The Battle of Jabiim comic.
Eh, that's not really SW looking more like ST or BSG. :-\
I want an SA Magna Guard.
-
I've gone through most of the books I have and cannot find a McQuarrie image of Rebel Troopers. I've found a bunch of Mollo stuff. The only image I have found of Rebels is the one with the McQ version of the Y-Wing (which I would take in heartbeat Hasbro....)
Any ideas? I found McQ images of everybody else too, even the Snowtrooper ( I think it was him)...
-
The RFT images I saw were them in a red shirt I believe... More or less the same character, red shirt...
I've seen McEndor Troopers, McHoth Troopers, and McEndor Briefing Rebels too though...
Definitely seen unique Hoth and Endor Rebels, but not terribly unique to the final design. Could be any of those. I'd guess Hoth since they're doing a Snowtrooper but that's just a random guess too.
-
Paul, I was thinking the same thing about the Rebel Pilot running across the fight deck. That would be a very, very cool figure. Especially if it came with a clipboard!
-

I'm pretty sure he's still coming out. Just because he's being released doesn't make your custom useless, you could always just not buy the "official" one.

On the 2 heads issue with Holo figures...
I wonder, then, if Hasbro has entertained 2 heads for Asharad Hett? One wrapped in Tusken attire and another with his exposed, human, Tatooed face? In the least Hasbro could go with a removeable helmet type Tusken mask to expose the human face. Suppose I'm asking for too much considering the way hasbro is accessorizing/detailing figures this year?

With the cost of figures, and them not being more articulated then they were when ROTS fig came out I don't think you're asking for too much.
That would be awesome, but i think that is asking for too much.
-
Most years and, considering Hasbro's past at doing first time figures (you don't get everything first time)..I would agree with Evenflow. However, considering all the new figures due out (first time done and look great-- IE MC Fett) and projected figure prices(thanks purge ;)) IMO it's not entirely unlikely for a change.
DS
EDIT: I posted the Hett Q in the 'Q for Hasbro' thread but...I highly doubt it will be forwarded/or the mostly useless thread gets canned first due to Hasbro quitting it/whatever comes first :P :(.

Anyone else think that the (apparently) upcoming Lando Smuggler figure might be a perfect opportunity for a head- and palette-swap into a new Han Ceremony figure down the line at some point?

I wouldn't even swap the head. Just paint it a different color.

[anecdote]My mom used to work at a TV station, and she'd tell us how she always got a kick from seeing the "talent" walk around with these nice jackets and ties and blouses and such on top, while wearing shorts and flip-flops and ratty old jeans and such on bottom.[/anecdote]

GH.com (http://www.galactichunter.com/absolutenm/templates/full_article_template_1.asp?articleid=6260&zoneid=2) has a scan of part of the pack in catalogue with the 30 AC, and it confirms that Hermi Odle and C-3PO w/Salicious Crumb are on the way this year, as figures #29 and #30.

Yep, right from R2DToys (http://www.r2dtoys.com/store/store.pl?action=search&category=-1&textsearch=wave5&sub_category=-1&sub_category2=-1&id=2579)
-
I don't see anything on those lists that wasn't already revealed on the Wal-Mart computer list from back in January... In fact, the R2-Dtoys list has all the same misspellings that we saw other January list:
MOMAW NADON YEDI - I always loved that Star Wars Yedi... ::)
-
MOMAW NADON YEDI - I always loved that Star Wars Yedi... ::)
Maybe he's Hebrew :P
-
Yep, looks like the same list from R2DToys, but I'm thinking it is probably fairly accurate. It seems like anymore, the rumors/lists do pan out more often than not, and I think that this lineup might be pretty close to what we're getting for the rest of the year. Who knows though, things can always change. One thing I've noticed though, didn't Hasbro in one of the Q and A's mention that we'd be getting a new Qui-Gon Jinn this year? I thought they did, but maybe I'm just imagining that. I'll have to go back and look through the Q and A archive sometime, but I thought it was mentioned and we haven't seen it on any "lists" since then.
-
didn't Hasbro in one of the Q and A's mention that we'd be getting a new Qui-Gon Jinn this year?
Yeah... in one of the Q&A sessions (with Yakface in September, I think) they said we'd get a super-articulated Qui-Gon sometime in 2007.
No sign of him in the basic figure line that I can see... there's not even a TPM wave in 2007 (2x ANH, 1x ESB, 2x Jedi, 1x AotC, 1x RotS, 1x EU, 1x FU). I guess he either slipped to 2008 or there must still be a few surprises in store for us...
-
MOMAW NADON YEDI - I always loved that Star Wars Yedi... ::)
That is a misspelling--but not the one you're probably thinking of. It's actually supposed to be "Yeti." You see, in one of the upcoming EU comics, Hammerhead travels to Hoth and hooks up with a Wampa, and together they have a child, and that child is the Momaw Nadon Yeti. I haven't seen any pics yet, but it sounds great on paper.

Yes, they did.
The Galactic Hunt Obi-Wan and the Evolutions Anakin are amazing sculpts. Also some of the Episode III sculpts including Ki Adi Mundi and Kit Fisto are fantastic. When will we see some more of these "super articulated" Jedi sculpts? A Qui-Gon Jinn akin to the Anakin and Obi-Wan previously mentioned would be very exciting to fans, as would any other SA type Jedi, including Adi Gallia, Eeth Koth, and Bariss Offee. Also, is the upcoming Yarael Poof figure an improved sculpt over the Jedi Council figure? (YF, 9/01/06) (http://cgi.denpetersen.com/YAK1/viewtopic.php?t=687)
Thanks for the comment. We do have some of the other Jedi that we want to do in an updated, super-articulated manner, and Qui-Gon is going to get that treatment sometime in 2007. Others that you mention will be updated, but not next year….they are slated for further out figures. Yarael Poof is the same figure as the Jedi Council version, with a lightsaber this time.
-
as great as wave five sounds, i really doubt were get that much EU in one wave.... ever.
-
That is a lot for one wave, but 2007 seems like a year of shake-ups or something... Lots of different looks for Hasbro, and EU seems like it's not off-limits for the H this year like in the past (mostly). That is a ton for one wave and it's all over the EU spectrum too.
-
A few surprises would be nice but i think that pretty much covers evrything for the year. I can't see much more, perhaps a few random exclusives.

Yeah, when I updated the JD basic figure list (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=14790.0) yesterday (using info I got from a differnt source than R2-Dtoys), that source had them in the Jabba Wave 4.
I'm sure there's a few more surprises in store for us with waves 5, 6 and 7 since they seem incomplete.
I don't know about that... Hasbro keeps saying that there will be 60 basic figures/coins and that is how many we've seen so far.
1 figure - Preview Vader with Coin Folder
8 figures - Wave 1: ROTS
6 figures - Wave 2: ANH, Yavin
8 figures - Wave 3: ANH, Tatooine
7 figures - Wave 4: RotJ, Jabba's
7 figures - Wave 5: EU
5 figures - Wave 6: ESB
5 figures - Wave 7: RotJ, Endor
6 figures - Wave 8: AotC
7 figures - Wave 9: Force Unleashed
Add them up and you get to 60 figures even... yeah, the later waves seem light, but I would guess that is to accomodate re-shipping the earlier wave figures in the same case.
-
Is it confirmed that the Force Unleashed figures will have coins and be a regular wave? Or will they be there own little subline like Shadows of the Empire was?
-
I feel Bespin Han & 4-LOM will be re-packs & will be re-sculpted for next year's vintage line.
That's just me & I'd rather have it that way too.
-
More rumors from this past week over at Scum, mostly vehicles or packs...
-Clone Wars ARC-170
-ARC-170 Figure Pack
-TIE Bomber
-AT-RT Assault Squad
-Cinema Scene
Adds to the already increasingly expensive year too.
I'm kind of only interested in the AT-RT Assault Squad as the ARC-170 isn't my cup of tea. The figure set for it might be cool though. I could get into that... Justnot the ship.
The Bomber would have to be something special compared to the past 2 paintjobs for me to bite, and the Cinema Scene... meh, unless it's basic figure scale.
The AT-RT could be pretty cool though... That was a vehicle that went pretty fast in '05, they were popular, and the basic RT Driver rode the thing just fine too so I'm hoping that any pack-in figure is based on THAT and not the crummy posed pack-in that originally came with the RT.
I'ms ure the ARC will be a hit with people though, that paintjob just seems popular... Wonder how the figure pack will possibly shape up though? Be nice to see something semi-new with it ala a removable helmet pilot, but I'm not going to even hope for that I think.
-
im waiting for the ARC-170 and the pack of figures. sounds cool only this time i think im going to try and get the figure pack first...i wont let myself miss the figure pack for a specific ship two times in a row. damn gunship >:(
-
I have to wonder what the ARC-170 crewmembers will look like. They're sure to have a new paint deco scheme. As for the droid? I recall seeing one on the Venator class Star Destroyer where Obi-Wan holds his briefing, but I'm not sure on the color scheme. But I'd also like to see this one:
(http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/b/b4/R4-P44.jpg)

I hope all of the above listed vehicles are Target exclusive as not to be a pain to get.

ill cry if they are target exclusives.
-
Why? Target exclusives are cheaper. Though all Target exclusives warm pegs & shelves. (The Felucia & Mace ones I've never seen)
I'll probably get them, though I wish the ARC-170 was the ROTS version since I need some.
The cinema scene I'll get either way, GH (Just started on this line) or basic (could depend on figure choice).
I'd like if the Cinema Scene is basic figure it should be a ANH theme:
x 1 Luke Skywalker w/ Stormtrooper Belt, Grapple Hook, Stormtrooper Blaster, Lightsaber (New,SA_
x 1 Han Solo w/ Stormtrooper Belt, Regular Belt, Regular Blaster (VOTC re-pack)
x 1 Chewbacca w/ Bowcaster (EB re-pack)
x 1 Princess Leia Organa w/ Tantive IV Blaster (VOTC re-hash w/ New Arms)
x 1 Stormtrooper w/ Long Rifle (VOTC re-pack)
x 1 C-3PO (TSC Ewok Diety re-pack)
x 1 R2-D2 (TAC re-paint, Clean colors)
x 1 Darth Vader w/ Lightsaber (TAC re-pack)
x 1 Ben Kenobi (New,SA)
x 1 Grand Moff Tarkin (New,SA)
Bigger than the POTF2 ones I think, but hey it's a cool idea.

doesnt matter if they are cheaper. if you live in Canada target doesnt exist meaning the exclusives won't be heading my way anytime soon or even at all.
-
Oh sorry. I didn't know Canada didn't have Targets.
-
Neeeeeeeeetttttttttwoooooooooorrrrrrrrrkk... :)
Seriously though JangoTat, I know how you feel as around the time they got the Skiff, no Target existed in Pittsburgh, PA... Dunno about the rest of the state, but ours didn't show up till the Y-Wing, and at that point there were I believe two Targets in all the Pitt area and none was really convenient (one on the other side of the city near the airport, the other in a development where the great Homestead Steel Works used to be).
But keep this in mind... This was the time before big forums, strong internet communities and things... They were pretty new thinngs. I networked through the old FFURG customizing email listserver (man, the days of email listservers... talk about slow arguments), and managed to get the Y-Wing and Skiff both through that very small group... So if you're ever hunting for Target stuff put out feelers in the classifieds for help because sometimes people are able to help out and you can reciprocate when you get something nobody else can find too.

Add them up and you get to 60 figures even... yeah, the later waves seem light, but I would guess that is to accomodate re-shipping the earlier wave figures in the same case.
I think Anthony could be correct here. If we look at a 'surprise' as being UGH figures inserted into waves 5,6,7 then they could do that without introducing a new fig. But then, we already knew about the UGH so would it really be a surprise? I guess we don't have enough specific info about UGHs though to really say...hmmm.

Death to UGH!!! >:(
I hate the whole UGH promotion - nothing like creating short supplies of figures to get all the non-SW folks to buy them up and resell them to SW collectors at twice the price. :P
