Yeah I'd agree with you Jeff.

Some of them are close and kind of okay, some of them are outright ridiculous (when compared to TVC I mean).

But they seem to be getting a little closer on scale with some (Vader) and are adding limited articulation.  I wonder if they're evolving it to fit a little bit more.

I'm only collecting them because the couple of times I've skipped things I wasn't sure of, I regretted it later.  I figure it'll be easier to give them to a niece or nephew later if I change my mind than to track them all down.

The biggest problem to me still is the 0.25” difference in intended scale.

I see a lot of people buying them saying "they fit in fine" but then I see pics like this one from Rob and I wonder what they mean by "fine". 



It's all subjective I guess.  As a separate sub-line posed together as some sort of homage to Kenner/5POA/POTF2 style days, I guess I get it.

I do applaud Hasbro making the effort to get a cheaper line of figures into the hands of kids, but these do nothing for me (I have too much of this stuff already as it is).  Maybe at some point I'll bite on something like a vehicle but for now I'm happy to just ride along as a watcher on this line.

It is somewhat humorous that someone else is making the money off of Krahn's designs.  I would have to guess these are better than whomever did the make good wave of these that I believe were 3D printed.  I would have to inspect these in person to give a final opinion, but it looks like Krahn could have had something here if he just didn't screw everything up horribly.

I guess the best comparisons you could make would be putting the Rebel Trooper and Holo Leia side by side with SS's RT and holo Jedi.

The one thing that got me to preorder this wave was the look of the x-wing pilots (like if Kenner had made these, it looks like they just tweaked the x-wing Luke a bit) and the Beru (which feels to me like if this had existed back in the 70's, it was what was used for the Hasbro Beru way back in the flashback wave).

Too bad this all fell apart because it looks like a nice wave of customs.

I'm not sure how I feel about a four pack of Snowtroopers with essentially no variation beyond the rifle.  I've already got a bazillion from prior releases so I don't feel like I need to army build any more.

Maybe include an E-Web (although they probably would add $20), but it would have been nice to maybe get some weathering variations or battle damage.

I'm probably going to pass on this at full retail and consider getting it if it gets discounted.  Still not sure I need more Snowtroopers at any price.

While I am happy with the set as is, it could have been an interesting concept if Habsro had outright replaced one of the figures w/ an E-Web and a few other small weapons/accessories and kept it at the original price point. That would have still felt like a decent value to me, and it would have added some variety to the set w/o diminishing the army-building capabilities when buying multiple sets.

I feel like I need to return a few of the individually carded ones I bought now that we know about this...  They'll certainly be more cost effective to buy in the 4-Pack.
