I like the character selection in this wave. An alien Senator/Seperatist, 2 droids and 2 Clones! Who wouldn't be happy with a lineup like that?
Initial reactions?
-I've been hoping for the 2-1B ever since he showed up in ROTS. Well done! And I think a slightly less shiny repaint would be a nice offering for TESB fans.
-Po Nudo - Looks good enough for a Senator/Seperatist. Hopefully he doesn't pegwarm.
-Octuptarra Droid - YES! Finally something for all of my Galactic Marines to fight! I just hope it isn't undersized to get it in a Basic Figure package
-Kashyyyk Trooper - Cool. Glad that Hasbro is revisiting this sooner than expected. I bought a few of the first version, but these will look much better.
-Commander Gree - Nice to see that they're probably using the Evolutions Clone as the basis for this one. The leg holster/pouch is a nice touch. And the helmet looks way better! I also hope they have the backpack.
But I also get the feeling that we haven't seen everything in this wave. They've only shown 5 figures and none of them are core characters. And 5 figures is also a pretty small wave. We only have 1 wave of 5 in the entire 2007 lineup. Plus, almost every wave we get has some sort of core character slotted in the lineup. Certainly that's the case with the 2007 line. I'm thinking that maybe we'll get a Darth Sidious in this lineup, but that's just a prediction.
