Haha, that Ewok's incredible Paul.  Nice.  

And a good use for a buff Wookie figure too since they're becoming less and less useful for anything.

Heh @ Hunting wild astromechs...

Looks like a nice haul too.

The ghost of Virex Past, Present, and Future... 

Happy/Merry Festivus indeed everyone.  And Happy/Merry Festivus to spirit of Virex, whatever plain of existance he may now reside.

Should photoshop that tear onto old Dengar...   

Thanks for the images...  Nice comparison of just what an incredible difference there is Dean.  Truly, that's gotta be the biggest variance in quality between a resculpt and its original. 

Too bad the pudgy "I ate too much pudding" Dengar really sucked so much.  He's now snuggled up to POTF2 Fleet Trooper in my box of misfit Star Wars figures.

Best...

Figure...

Ever...

Well, at least a tie with soem of the other VOTC that are out and about.

I'm jonesing for 5 more now, but I'm likely done unless I miraculously run into these at stores.  I've seen TWO at stores total, and that kinda bites the big one.

Yeah the news blurb I posted should clarify that it's just not been available in the U.S. yet unless you ordered direct from the UK on it.

I dunno what they run UK to US though...  I wonder if it's actually MORE?

Anyone got prices they can post?

$70's too rich for my blood too...  I don't do displays like that either though.

I found it interesting that SSW.com is "importing" this though.  Very strange...  I'm surprised Hasbro isn't throwing a **** fit on it.

JD.com is proud to present our first ever Review-A-Thon...  It's a way we're going to clean out some old reviews we've got backlogged and get a little something for you, the viewer, to read over theholidays.

The Star Destroyer Wave continues on with what I'd say was one of the most hotly demanded resculpts by fans of the modern line.  This bounty hunter baddie could only be Dengar (Executor Meeting)! 



And resculpt him they did!  Hasbro made one big dent with this figure by taking the old POTF2 sculpt and basically saying, "Man, you suck!" to it.  I swear my Dengar shed a tear when I brought the Saga version into the house.

He knew his days were numbered.

Is Dengar perfect?  Well, no, and I'd say his greatest flaw is his falling prey to Hasbro's wackiness with lopsided articulation, yet again, but he's not bad by any means either.

If I had to add something to the review, I'd add that Hasbro should've added a holster to him with a blaster pistol.  I see pictures of him with it, and pictures without.  At this point I think WITH the holster/pistol is accurate though...

And let's face it, he'd simply look better and be a better figure overall if he had a holster and a sidearm accessory.

But, you'll just have to read the full review using the link provided above, and get back to here with your opinions.

My fatboy Dengar from POTF2 will never be the same...  At least he's got friends in the "I'm useless" pile of POTF2 buff and ugly figures.  There's like 3 years of crappiness in that box!
