Legacy Wave 6 - The Empire Strikes Back

[Paul]

Intersting.. so we are getting an AK47?  Which is the direct descendant of the MP44 (Kalishnakov was a thief no matter what people try to say) and the MP44/Stg44 is the basis for the Hoth Rebel rifle... I think someone at Hasbro has a flare for irony...

[Jesse James]

It takes the EU and ties it to the ESB themed wave.  You made a tight connection there Paul.

I hope this Luke head will fit on the VOTC Bespin Body. This actually looks like Mark Hamill and not Rocky Balboa as the Bespin VOTC Luke does. Did we get any confirmation on the Rebel Trooper head swap. Is it already in the blister or is it a running change? I saw a seller on ebay had it all together which I hope it is, it leaves more flexibility and make army building easier.

There's been official photography of both versions of the Rebel Trooper.  And IIRC the card artwork shows 2 different Rebel Troopers.

Thanks for the clarification!

From the Hasbro presentation at Toy Fair:



And I guess it's confirmed somewhere that the Rebel Trooper's been corrected and will be coming with his man skirt.

Ladies and gentlemen, the new standard for the C3 series protocol Droid. No reason we should get another on any other body.

[Daigo-Bah]

Agreed.  That 3PO head is perfection!  I also read that DePriest stated only a few Hoth troops will make it out without the skirt.  That's great news, and I wonder if it will be soft goods or not.

[Brian]

I really like the BAD for this wave as well.  I wonder how long it will be before we get an all-new "ultimate" 3PO using that sculpt?  Hopefully not long.  The Endor throne version certainly isn't bad, but the increased articulation and great head sculpt would make a spiffy new version as well.  Glad to hear the news about the Hoth soldiers skirts, that would make an already great figure(s) even better.

[Brian]

I see RS has a look at the AOTC wave, as well as the repacks coming alongside, one of which is the Hoth Rebel - this time showing the cloth skirt.

[David]

Great to finally see the corrected version. Unfortunately my budget won't allow me to buy more than a few of this wonderful army builder, but I'm looking forward to it!

[Darth_Anton]

I was loving seeing the final version with the skirt, but then dreaded the whole "soft goods" stink argument due to arise.

[iFett]

So we have to buy repacks now to complete the BADs?  I'm obvivous if there's any other AOTC figs in this wave.

No.

There are two more new figures in the AotC wave - Tarados Gon and Concept Anakin.  Buy those two, along with Obi-Wan, Beru, Owen, and Typho, and you'll have all the parts to HK-47 and won't need to buy repacks.

[iFett]

No.

Thanks Jeff....I thought I was going crazy there for a minute.
