The two on the left look like they were released that way!  But the two on the right have a little too much facial hair to be convincing Imperials.  That's something that always gets me with some Imperial custom figures - too much facial hair.  The Empire always struck me as a bit too uptight for that sort of thing.

I get the same sense, too.

In keeping with Rob's comment in the other thread about Motti and Piett in Hoth rebel disguise, I look at the two on the right as rebels in Imperial disguise. In best sterotypical Fargo language: "Nothing to see here. We're just a couple of Imperial officers doing Imperial stuff, don'cha know." Haha.

@Rob - the face skin tone on the right-most looks a bit darker than the hands. If you care, maybe pair that noggin with the gloved hand?

I wondered why my order hadn't arrived yet. Checked on the status and saw i hadn't pushed out the purchase. And ShopDisney  is now out. Ugh! Stoopid work distractions.

I'll grab if they re-stock or if someone heads out to Disneyland. No big loss if I don't get the set.

I'd rather it be a little less expensive and not have him, but I get it.

But you know how it'll go with some collectors: "For $39.99 they could have included a figure!"

Stoked about these (if true). Hope the tail has some articulation so each one I get can be posed a little differently and they won't look like they're in a  militairy parade.

Holding out hope that maybe the supporting vehicle or speeder line Jayson rumored for these will offer something useful/exciting and not also be dumbed down, out-of-scale type things.

I expect the vehicles will have some kind of play feature like oversized missile or pullback motor and simplified paint deco. No biggie to me; it is billed as a kid toy-line. If it looks fun and, as you say, properly scaled, I'll pick it up. But, yeah, that comparison pic...

Me after noticing Target shows my order as pending almost 2 months after i ordered: "This excusive is sold out. Lucky for me the re-release is the same except for the helmet being swappable"

After realizing the order DID arrive in December: "Why is Hasbro only making the helmet swappable and calling this re-realse season 3?"

Hahaha.

Wowza. That is an eyeful. Let me see how far i can go before it knocks me out to sleep. Thanks for the link.

It does feel as if the methodology is missing something, like the character votes in each round should have been weighted to get a better measure of consensus.

But i've been voting and I applaud them for their effort to magnify our collective voice.
