I got my case form EE last week.
My Reviews:
The Old
E1 Obi-wan: repack...I am not keeping this one, I bought this in april of 1999. Now with cloth cloak, and the 'real hair' ponytail. blah
Vader: Disappointing repack...I bought this figure in a better form about 5 or 6 years ago. The removable hand reveals a long forearm of 'endo-skeleton', (not like the movie) the helmet is more opaque, the little lighting bolt fits badly, the less paque version with painted lighting was way better....It is a step back from the POTJ figure.
Holo Maul: Needed Figure but Disapointing repack, a 1999 figure that does not represent the scene it is meant to be from...also the saber is a brittle plastic, and stuck in the plastic prety good, I thoguht i broke it while removing it. I like holos but they could have at least kit bashed better arms...
The O.K.
Endor Luke: a Good repack. It is the same figure you bought twice in the OTC collection, once as Jedi Luke once as a hologram, this time with a black gloved hand, removable Endor Helmet, removable belt with working holster, and removable poncho...I do not recommend removing the poncho, hard to get back on.
Endor Rebel (Black): A decent kitbash/new figure, and an army bulder but one that is made to look like an individual. But there have been plenty of unique looking Endor rebels to have a unique squad of at least 6 troops, nice to see diversity. The backpack won't go on worth a crap, the helmet and (poor) arms are the same, this figure features a ball jointed head, a working holster (and a fleet trooper pistol) and ball jointed knees. Too bad they left the bad arms....he comes with a pistol and arms designed to hold a rifle...Half-assed-bro doing their typical shoddy work.
The New
Representitive Been: Brand New Sculpt, I always thought his name was Rep, but that was short for Representitive, apparently. An average 'Statue' background figure like many senator/political type figure. looks good though, not really ever him high on ANYONES lists of new figure to be made...
Naboo Soldier: Brand New, doesn't look as bad as it did in pictures, looks a little too bulky though, good articulation & the second brand new all bland figure I never ever heard anyone clamor for...
Gragra: Everyone likes aliens, detailing and accesories (gorgs and a hatchet are appropriate, like to have seen a piece likd her food stall, similar to how they did the Coruscant bar. the Puppet looking mouth is very poory executed, should have sculpted the head with out it.
Mars Guo & Dud Bolt: the best of the figures...TWO brand new figures, both with removable goggles, ball jointed heads, mars has swivel arms, dud has swivel wrists, and the both come with weapons. Dud's gun has a weird strap, mars is a familair looking gun, anyone know if it is new or not? Personally I'd rather have seen them come with a tool or Pit droid crate rather than guns they can't hold well. they did seem to forget to paint Dud's legs, the belt straps are sculpted on, but the legs are all one color, so he kinda looks like he's wearing speedos.
Overall, I was pretty disapointed with the figures...
Hasbro is really trying to get me to quit buying things from them...i am buying less and less all the time.
