This is one of the better waves so far... At least to me.
Hoth had the AT-AT Driver as the single really fantastic figure. The GNK Droid with his nice "pack-in" buddy made for a good purchase too... Veers and Derlin felt like you were paying too much for too little... Derlin moreso. The rest of the wave sucked pretty hard then since it was a whole lotta rehash and sorry kitbash.
Carkoon wasn't much better. Bib Fortuna wasn't Hasbro's best foot forward in the figure world. Han's so-so, but definitely could've been a better figure for the cash. Again the wave wasn't a huge "wow" kind of thing where you were giddy at the thought of the figures you were buying, and this was to kick off a new direction for the line. Ugh...
Geonosis... MOre of the same to me. Poggle blows, Scorch was a letdown, the Utapau Clone was nice but ultimately I don't count him as part of the wave plus he's technically a rehash, Sun Fac is nice but underrated... There was just a lot of blah in that wave, with repacks and whatnot, and nothing to get too excited over.
COruscant... Cody's disappointed many (I yet to have found one). I actually like Foul Moudama but he is only semi-new and has questionable support from fans due to his EU status. Lushros Dofine is cool for what he is, but hardly anything to get excited about since he's in that "Senator-ish" category of boredom, nto to mention an alien species we've now seen the piss be beaten out of it... The Utapau Clone's still cool, and yeah I want some, but still not something I'm going ga-ga over when I buy them, I just like having them to display.
Tatooine though you have interesting aliens, R5-D4 who's probably been the most wanted resculpt in the line for some time now, and hell even a repack like the Luke figure has been made interesting enough that people really want to buy it. It's a good solid collector's figure, though we all own it and only want it for the cool **** it comes with. That's genius on Hasbro's part and why the Gonk Droid ultimately is a hit to me too... It's not "new", but it is... And it's a droid so I want it.
R5's sorta similar to that too. And I'm ok with that.
Tatooine isn't great to me, but it's not bad because of character choices. The Arcona rocks, and Garindan was one of my top resculpt figures I think... Both fall short in overall quality than what I want, considering we got a whole wave of Cantina aliens in 2004/2005 that had better articulation and similar features to the Arcona and Garindan, but still these are at least really appealing figures because of who they more than what they are.
Definitely a wave to look forward too, but I'm like some of you in that I wouldn't mind these being a little ways off. I could use the recooperation time to get everything in order and just be prepared for these when they do ship.
