Target "Search for Luke" Taun-Taun Battle Pack(s)
Jesse James:
Sandtroopers got another early proto image, this time it's the rumored Taun-Taun...
Clicky to see it.
The beast appears to have added ball/socket shoulders, and ankles, as well as a new removable saddle. check out the stirrups. Pretty slick that those are done that way IMO. :)
The left horn's broke, which is what Luke's had, so that's further confirmation that this is the rumored Luke's Taun-Taun, which I believe also turned up in Euro TRU computers if i'm not mistaken.
The figure should be pretty interesting.
Also of note... That left horn's a separately sculpted/molded piece. Leaves it open for them to do a new horn rather than resculpting the entire head, to do Han's more generic Taun-Taun... Doesn't bode well for a split-belly feature though. :'(
I really like the details to the saddle now though. Much nicer. I expect the figure to be pretty flawless too... it's been way too long for Hoth Luke to get a decent figure.
When they do Han's less distinct ride, I'd really dig seeing them do a Hoth Rebel scout then, using Han's taun-taun sculpt. I've always wanted a Hoth Scout for some reason, have some of the wranglers holding its reigns and stuff.
Blaster under the pillow:
That looks excellent to me. I would love if they did a pre special edition Wampa to go with it. One of the things I still can't stand about the special ed's is how the Wampa goes from having ears on top to none at all when he's chewing on that Taun-Taun bone.
Darth_Anton:
Yeah, a new, nicely done Hoth Luke will be the real prize of this set.
Mister Skeezler:
Finally! I've been hoping for a new Tauntaun (and Hoth Luke, while they're at it) for some time.
Paul:
Hoth is by far my favorite battle in the entire OT. Anything from that little corner of the Galaxy is major win to me.
I love the Stirrups this time around on that sculpt. Bodes well for ball socket hips on the New Luke Figure. I wonder if they will make us a Han Solo (in Blue coat ;)) with that added piece of articulation as well.
JJ, what makes the Scouts different from a regular Echo Base/Hoth Trooper?
