I didn't have a cloud car or a snow speeder as a kid, but I remember looking at the pictures in the Kenner pack-in brochure over and over again. When I pick up these vehicles I plan to recreate those set ups with modern figures for a bit of nostalgia.

1   Rebel Fleet Trooper (resculpt)
2   Captain Antilles (resculpt)
3   Tarkin (resculpt)
4   Detention Block Officer
5   Bannis Keeg
6   Lars Power Droid
7   Uncle Owen (resculpt)
8   Cantina Band Member (resculpt)
9   Chewbacca (Growling with scale mouse droid)
10 Porkins (resculpt)

I really like the angle of the hands on the new Snowspeeder Luke, they make for really nice poses with a light sabre.

Do you know what really gets me, looking at the old vintage figures, is just how much character they seem to have. Even if they don't always  have the likeness and details perfectly, they really seem to capture the essence of the character's personality.

I don't have any of my original Kenner stuff, but this feature has really made me consider picking some up.

Thanks JACK, just as well I'm a lazy SOB and haven't got round to it yet. I'll have a go this weekend.

96
Thanks man, I'm no customizer but I think I'm going to slap some white paint on this.

I picked up the repack snow trooper from this wave the other day and the mask on his helmet seems really pink. Is that standard for this release?

If He comes with everything on the front of the  box, it will exceed my expectations.

 I'm confident that the sculpt will be good, but I'm still a little apprehensive about how the paint job will turn out.

There's a boxed picture of this bad boy over on sandtroopers.com.

I just saw some pictures of this wave over at sandtroopers and I'm a little underwhelmed with some of them. That C3-P0 looks a little dodgey and I'm not sure about that Hip area on Luke, it looks pretty wide. I'm hoping it's just the pictures and they'll look better in hand.

Dengar and Leia still look good though.

Jesse, your post about the wires twisting in the R2 dome reminded me of that interview clip with Kenny Baker where he's talking about the same thing, but in his case the wires were garroting him.

I'm all for more LED's in figures. I've always thought a destroyer droid with a light up shield could look pretty good.

Due to space considerations, I have to cycle through what I display on about a monthly basis, but the Falcon always remains out.

I was wondering whether they will actually release anything larger than the Falcon. Do you think we've reached  a sort of limit in terms of size, or do you think they could still go larger?

Finally got the Snowspeeder Luke. Really nice figure. Well worth the wait.





104
1  R4-P17 (Buzz Droid Attack)
2  Magna Guard
3  Palpatine (Office Duel)
4  R2-D2 (Buzz droid shocker, Invisible Hand hologram and jedi comlink)
5  Tarfful (resculpt with blaster rifle)
6  Chewbacca (resculpt head on VOTC body with antique bowcaster)
7  Wookie warrior (fur sculpted like VOTC Chewbacca)
8  Darth Vader (Medical Capsule)
9  Darth Vader (Sith eyes, plastic cowl)
10 Kit Fisto (non-yellow version)

I have to admit, based on what we saw at Toy Fair, I wasn't planning on picking up the AT-AT Commander, but the change in legs has made a big difference to the figure. I'm going to have to get one.
