Packaged photos of the new Commander Fox...Despite the presumed lack or articulation, he's not too bad, IMHO.

I'm a little disappointed, since I was hoping that Fox would be a repaint of Cody, not Rex.  That way, we could have another SA clone for the collection.  Also, they messed up the paint on the chin of his helmet: there should be a white patch there.

(Sorry to be negative.)

So technically since Fox hasn't been around since S3, this will be a S5-type preview figure?

If I am not mistaken, Fox was seen during season 4, during the Rako Hardeen story-arc.



Hopefully, the Fox figure will just be a repaint of this year's Cody.

thanks for the heads up on the pics - Maul does look bad.

Really?  I think that Maul looks sweet as hell, and I am getting this Battle Pack just to get him (I already have that Savage figure - with a lightsaber, too).

I'm just not as into things as I was.  I like it, I'm here if it's here, but yeah, I just don't care.

I can relate to this, since I have been feeling something similar lately.  For the most part, I have been apathetic about The Vintage Collection, with its emphasis on resculpts, resculpts, and a few more resculpts.  Granted, I am pleased to get figures of those characters that have never been made before, and I am pleased to get definitive updates to some older figures, but my fire for collecting them has simmered quite a bit because of all of the resculpts.  It's like my collecting zeal has slipped into neutral.  I still go to the store to get each wave, but I'm not getting out of bed at 6:00AM anymore to look for them.  Know what I mean?  For the past year and a half, my passion for collecting Star Wars toys has been driven primarily by the The Clone Wars line.  But now that that line has been relegated to the basement of priorities, with very little to offer, and very little to get excited about in terms of articulation and sculpting, I am left with little to get pumped about.  The show keeps getting better and better, but the figures have all but disappeared.  Sigh.  I think it was Pawlus (?) who said it succintly: there is nothing currently hanging on the pegs which corresponds to what is going on with the show right now, and that is a problem.

So, would I like to see Star Wars go on hiatus?  Hell NO!  I want to go back to 60 figures a year for each line, with new characters galore.  But I know that that is not realistic, given the current situation.  So, I am just waiting (im)patiently for news about General Krell, and collecting Fighter Pods.  Wake me up when y'all hear something about that badass Besalisk.   

See I thought someone somewhere said he was underarticulated? 

Glad to see that's not true at all.

I hope to get 2 or 3 of these at some point.

I agree.  In a time when we are seeing less and less articulation, this figure is a breath of fresh air.  He has articulation at the ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists and neck.  I can't remember if he is also articulated at the waist.  He truly is a gem in the 2012 line-up. 

Ah, lookie there: my early-morning find made the front page!   

But, my username was misspelled.   

I was able to get the Scuba Clone mini-rig this morning at Walmart.  They also had the Anakin mini-rig, but I passed on that one for now.
