I wish C-3PX had more articulation. I might pick up the Vader set & Watto set.

Unless I'm mis-counting, I think C-3PX has 14 points of articulation.

I think the droid factory concept is the ONLY way we'd be getting droids like those two R7 models or even with the WalMart wave, figures like C-3PX. So from that stand-point, I think this concept is pretty good. Droids lend themselves to coming in parts and for Hasbro to pick two droids that can work modularly with each other is also a plus. I can see people mixing and matching different parts to have slightly different droids.

I also hope that Hasbro considers giving us some R6, R8 and R9 astromechs.

I have noticed a pattern to the waves.

Wave 1 (Tatooine) - 1x R4, 1x R7
Wave 2 (CW) - 1x R4, 1x R7
Wave 3 (?) - 6 figures = protocol droid
Wave 4 (?) - 8 figures = 2 more astromechs

I hope that for the third 8 figure wave, we don't end up with another R4 and another R7 model. But if we do, I really won't be surprised.

For the guys attending the event, did you see or ask if the tail swings down into position UNDER the ship? That is how it's supposed to fly.

Good catch Sal - why didn't they hang it up with the tail wing in the lowered position? It makes me wonder if it pivots down at all. (I know they told you it did Jeff, but they could have just been talking about the left and right wings)

It's interesting how his kama doesn't go all the way around...I wonder if that's a playability thing, and will allow him to sit in ships?

Unless the kama is made of the most flexible plastic in the world or cloth, I'm afraid Captain Rex will suffer the same problems that all Clones w/kamas face - the inability to sit down. It probably just matches how he looks in the cartoon.

I really like (and appreciate) the R2-D2. That is one incarnation of our favorite little astromech that has never appeared as a toy. Granted it only appears in Star Wars for a few seconds, it's still nice to have. Now all we need is the "swiss army knife" version from ROTJ and every possible R2 variation will have been covered.

It looks to me that Ten Nuib uses the base TAC A-Wing pilot body (which is probably the reason why he is so tall compared to others of his species).

I had a feeling that they were going to do something like this with the B-Wing pilot since they put so much detail into the Tycho figure, it only made sense.

I'm also guessing that it will feature either a pre-posed Vader that is kneeling or the Evolutions Vader since that one can probably kneel the best out of any of the Vader figures. But I agree - this will be where we get the Holo Emperor head.
