Correct

But to be technical we could still use these guys sitting

Both

Adi Gallia
Ki Adi Mundi
Even Piell
Eeth Koth
Depa Billaba
Plo Koon
Saesee Tiin

Episode II

Coleman Trebor
Shaak Ti

And note Depa was still there in Episode II, Yaddle was replaced

When we get into the 2006 - 2007 area, they might consider doing softgoods articulated versions to fill out the line.  Give it time.

Anyone notice that the pieces, when fit together, would still need something in between each base?  Even if they eventually made the center piece (which they won't), there would need to be an additional piece for spacing inbetween each base for 3.   First, the columns in the back are too close together  when you attach 2 bases together and then the decoration in the yellow part of the floor doesn't work right when 2 bases are attached.

I saw a cutsom over at Scum that looked pretty nice.  It used some Foamcore and a printout of the floor from Niub Niub's...I'll try and find a picture

The other problem is there is no real door like there is in the movie

Thanks Scott, I took Yaddle off and replaced her with Depa.

I seem to remember the council room being like a semicircle, so I think if you had four bases (12 jedi) you'd have pretty much the correct setup. Granted the scale is a little off, but hey, its not as bad as the scale of the arena playset!

I'd really like an articulated, soft goods Plo Koon. Especially if he had enough articulation to do that steepled-fingers thing when he's in the council chamber.

I also need to get a bunch of softgoods jedi robes for some of the jedi who don't have them. Anyone not want their pilot obi-wan's robe?

The council room is a full circle and the 4 bases would not make a full circle (closer to 4/5 I would guess).

It take 6 Council segments to make the complete council.  That's according to Hasbro.

that is sweet, so yea i could see where it would take 6 to complete the ultimate jedi council scene.

I definitely would be all for it if they'd do another few sets.  And do them with only two figures each.  Maybe lineups like this:


SET 3
-Yoda standing
-Ki-adi Mundi seated (with softgoods and bendable knees)


SET 4
-Plo Koon seated (with softgoods and bendable knees)
-Adi Gallia seated (with softgoods & bendable knees)


SET 5
-Eeth Koth seated (with softgoods, cloak & bendable knees)
-Saesee Tiin seated (with softgoods & bendable knees)


SET 6
-Shaak Ti seated (with softgoods & bendable knees)
-Coleman Trebor seated (with softgoods, cloak & bendable knees)


And then, do a followup Depa Billaba down the line with softgoods, cloak & bendable knees.

I've been waiting for someone to put 6 of these sets together...  Looks very cool!   8)

So, judging by GH's news tonight, it sounds like a third Jedi Council scene is definitely on tap, and going to include at least a Shaak Ti, plus two others presumably.  And Nick's obviously right - gotta have articulated knees, and a soft goods cloak on these guys, across the board!  Even the third figure that's still standing!

I don't know where it was that I said it many months ago when news of the first two JC sets broke, but I predicted that eventually they'd make 6 sets in total, to give us a complete Jedi Council.  Looks like they're half way there now, and you know there's going to be good demand for them to keep pumpin' the seated Jedi out, so hopefully Hasbro follows through!   8)

Even with the six there, the spacing is still way off.  The print on the floor design comes in at the wrong angles at every place the floor joins together.  Also, the columns in the back are spaced two closely at those same joints.  I think the picture posed from RS would have looked better with the chairs sitting directly on top of the printed floor that you see through in the middle of the screen scenes.

Wow.  That completed council looks very cool!  Sure it's not quite the right configuration since it's missing the entry area and the middle section doesn't quite fit, but all in all it's a pretty good setup.  I still can't understand why Hasbro couldn't just make a playset of this entire Council with all 12 chairs, the floor and backdrop.  $30 or $40 would seem very doable to me.  Of course, they'd have to offer up the various Jedi figures on standard cards, with knee articulation and soft goods cloaks.  But that shouldn't be so hard.

If Hasbro doesn't get around to putting out more of these SS sets, or a Council playset down the line, I'm going to have to go after some more loose sets and do something similar to what's pictured above.  I'd prefer a slightly better backdrop for the windows though, with more of the Coruscant buildings and traffic, and not right at sundown/up when the sky looks like it's on fire.  Otherwise, some good looking stuff there!

Since it now looks like the two new Toys R Us exclusive Jedi Council Screen Scene sets (#3 & 4) are coming in the OTC packaging, I've moved the rest of this discussion over to the OTC forum.  You can find it right here (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?board=39;action=display;threadid=4448).  Enjoy.   :-*
