Original Trilogy Collection / Modern Vintage - Waves 4,5,6?
« on: April 2, 2004, 03:00 PM »
What would everyone's opinions be if Hasbro decided to go nuts and product three more waves of Modern Vintage figures?  I might have mixed feelings about it, but here's some figures I would like to see them make for this if it came true:

WAVE 4 (ANH)

- Grand Moff Tarkin
- Tusken Raider
- Owen Lars
- ???

WAVE 5 (ESB)

- Luke Skywalker (Bespin duel)
- Admiral Piett
- Han Solo (precarbon)
- ???

WAVE 6 (ROTJ)

- Emperor Palpatine (silk robe)
- Royal Guard (silk robe)
- Bib Fortuna
- Scout Trooper

Thoughts or ideas?

 :P

We've had TWO Snowspeeders in the modern line (not 3-4), one in the POTF2 line and the hard to find POTJ version with two crappy pilots.

I'd much rather see a Cloud Car too, and I think we will see one, but I always thought it would be cool to see a Snowspeeder w/out decals needing to be applied; instead it could have a good paint job.

I also wouldn't be against them releasing another AT-ST, this time with a little snow on the feet like on Hoth.

 :P

With all the supposed vehicles now coming out in this OTC line, I think it would have been great to see a new Snowspeeder on that list, with an all new Snowspeeder Luke.

And then to see an all new generic Snowspeeder pilot released in the regular carded line.

 :P

I have been wanting Hasbro to do more of these for a long time, but my real dream is for them to do something similar to the Simpsons mini playsets.  Pack in one new figure with a good detailed environment, have them interlock together at the sides and make them stackable.  Wake up Hasbro quit sleeping through my idea! ;)

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Episode II Multiples: Your Favorite Version?
« on: March 31, 2004, 04:32 PM »
Cool topic, here's my choices:

Anakin - Secret Ceremony with a custom right hand that is articulated

Obi Wan - Outlander Club with a new custom right hand that isn't pointing and an articulated left hand too

Padme - Factory Chase with a custom Padme head from the EPI line with repainted hair

Mace Windu - hmmm, a custom job all the way with the Deluxe Windu body, two Kit Fisto right arms, custom hands from the CW Windu (would be an awesome kit bash for Hasbro)

Dooku - Geonosian Escape

Yoda - 2-pk version

Zam - SAGA version

Jango Fett - removable head version

Clone Trooper - SA of course!

Star Wars Dioramas and Displays / Re: DIORAMA IMPROVEMENTS THREAD
« on: March 25, 2004, 04:36 PM »
Well I came across a new material (for me at least) in making dioramas that I like a lot better than foam core - large styrofoam sheet that can be bought at most craft stores.  This stuff is much sturdier (does not warp) than foamcore, and is a better investment as far as I'm concerned.  

It worked so well on my redo of Jabba's Palace that I decided to redo my Podrace Arena too.  I didn't do quite as well with the Arena as the Palace (might redo and retouch a few sections), but it is still a vast improvement over my old version.

Try this stuff out, it's about $5 a sheet and well worth it.

 :P

I sure as heck do.  Isn't this a totally neglected figure by Hasbro?  The buff POTF2 version is a piece of junk, and when the reissued it with the POTJ Snowspeeder they weren't doing anyone any favors.

I think it's time for a super articulated, well sculpted version of a Snowspeeder Luke.  And a Wedge/Dak should be made as well.

Thoughts?

 :P

I can not figure out why in the hell Hasbro chose to release those horrible molds of the X-Wing and TIE again.  I think the Falcon is a great idea, but to replace the X-Wing and TIE, I would have picked a couple of different vehicles:

- AT-ST
- Cloud Car
- Snowspeeder

I think most of us around here would have liked to see those instead.

 :P

Saga '02-'04 / Re: How's Star Wars Selling in Your Area?
« on: March 19, 2004, 12:16 AM »
I've been so lucky in finding everything, even Tanus Spijek.  My Dutch Vander army is up to five now, and I am going to be doing some head swaps very soon, starting with Wedge.

Overall in my area, new SW sells out so faster than ever it seems.  Except for those blasted Hoth Troopers clogging the pegs at every Target in the land.  Other than that and a few R3POs, new stuff sells fast.  My TRU's though still have a ton of the first wave of AOTC figures.  Damn overproduction!!!

Hey Jedirhino, I sent you a PM regarding the figures you were inquiring about.

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: We Need More Cantina Figures!
« on: March 14, 2004, 11:03 PM »
Yeah, I think it's definitely time for a new wave of cantina patrons.  My way of doing it would be for two more Tatooine waves, mixing characters from the prequels too though. Perhaps each wave would have four new figures and be something like this:

WAVE 1

- CZ Droid X3
- Hem Dazon X3
- Tonnika Sister #1 X3
- Graga (TPM Mos Espa Merchant) X3

WAVE 2

- Myo the Cyclops X3
- Hrcheck Kal Fas X3
- Tonnika Sister #2 X3
- Bib Fortuna (TPM Podrace) X3

The Tonnika sisters would just be simple repaints in the color variation of the outfit to save Hasbro their hard earned money. ;)

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Ultra Kamino Obi-Wan and Jango (Recarded)
« on: March 11, 2004, 04:31 PM »
Gotta get an extra Obi Wan for customizing purposes.  I was able to get the original SAGA version of these from newforce, and the Obi Wan is a great figure however the Jango is a terrible kitbash.

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: We Need More Of Jabba's Goons!
« on: March 11, 2004, 12:18 AM »
Hmmm...

I am pretty happy with what he have gotten from Jabba's Palace recently, but there certainly additions I would like to see in the line soon.  I doubt we will see any of these though until after the EPIII line starts integrating into the other movies:

- Ak-Rev
- Ishi Tib
- Rock Wart
- Sgt Doallyn
- Hermie Odle
- Oola resculpt
- Malaki resculpt
- Yarna the lard dancer
- Weequay 2nd Skiff Guard

Also I would love to see some sort of Sarlacc Pit playset like suggested by Jesse.  And someday, somehow, I am going to buy one of those mammoth Sail Barges listed on ebay.  I doubt Hasbro is ever going to offer such an item (and if they do it wouldn't be as detailed anyway).  And the reason I didn't pick for Bib Fortuna to be redone is b/c I really, really like the custom I did of one.  And I think a TPM version needs to be made first anyway.

 :P

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: Hairy Chewbacca
« on: March 11, 2004, 12:04 AM »
Thanks for bringing this up OCB, it's fun to see everyone's opinions on the idea here.

Personally I'm leaning towards wanting to see something like this done somewhere down the line.  Not in the modern vintage line, but somewhere in a few years possibly.  I'm sure it could be pulled off, but they would need to really do a superb job for it to be worthwhile.  

Anyone remember the Grizzlor figure from the He-Man line?   He was the big furry guy working for Hordak.  Maybe something like that instead, with much shorter hair would work?

 :P
